Hearing that Julia Yu had completed the task he assigned, Max Mo felt a wave of relief, mixed with emotions he couldn’t quite name.
"Daddy!" Leo and Theo Mo ran in from outside, hugging Max Mo’s legs on either side and whining, "Daddy, now that you’re back, are you going out again?"
Looking at his two sons gazing at him with admiration, Max Mo instinctively squatted down, pulling each boy into his arms. As his eyes fell on their faces, he felt a sudden pang of guilt.
Was it right or wrong to keep Julia Yu by his side?
"Daddy won’t be leaving for a while. I have things to take care of here," Max Mo answered gently. "Have you two been good these days?"
"Yes!" Leo Mo nodded vigorously.
Seeing how sensible his two children were, Max Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, forget it.
He knew he could never accept anyone else in this lifetime.
Having his two children with him was enough.
As long as Julia Yu was smart enough and didn’t cause trouble, he’d let her stay.
"Daddy, did you go see Aunt Cici?" Leo Mo couldn’t help but ask.
He was only three, but Leo Mo was already precocious.
"Yes, your Aunt Cici has had some trouble lately, so Daddy went to help her out," Max Mo replied gently.
"Were Ethan and Miles there too?" Theo Mo couldn’t help but ask.
"They’re away for special training. In a few days, you’ll be able to see them," Max Mo said, pinching their cheeks. "I’ve already spoken to your Aunt Cici, and soon you’ll be going to school over there. That way, you’ll get to play together. Excited?"
"Excited!" Leo and Theo Mo answered in unison.
Lakeside Villa.
Molly Yun was silently calculating how many days she’d been away.
She realized it had almost been a month since she left!
