Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32

She checked on her children, looking worried. Her kids were usually rambunctious, but she now noticed there were dark circles under their eyes from their lack of sleep. Concerned, she said, “You kids must’ve been worried sick. You guys didn’t sleep well, did you? I’m back now, and I’m fine. You don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll be fine. Just take care of yourselves, alright? I’ve taken the day off, so what do you say we have some bonding time?”

The kids nodded solemnly. “As long as you’re back, we’ll be fine, Mommy. We’ll go with your idea.”

Jack seemed miffed, though. He held his mother’s hand and said, “Sit down, Mommy We want to see if you’re hurt. I bet they did this on purpose. They knew you’d be there, and they set you up.”

James had a deep frown on his forehead as well. He was still worried. “We’ll find out who they are, Mommy. They won’t get away with this.”

Jacob puckered his lips, tears welling up in his eyes. “We were worried sick, Mommy. We couldn’t believe it when you got yourself in danger, but since you’re okay now, and we’re really happy about it.”

Her children had always been smart and considerate. Vania had to be strong for them, or they would worry about her. “Thank you for everything you’ve done, kids. I’m fine, and there’s nothing to worry about. I know who the villain is now, and I’ll handle it. Don’t worry. Let’s get some sleep now. It’s been days since I saw you, and I’ve missed you too. Have you missed me?”
