Zachary didn’t say another word after that.
Honestly, they’d all come back earlier than planned. Even Isabella hadn’t known they were coming. How could Ethan have known? If it was just a coincidence, it was almost too perfect.
The three of them had just stepped outside when they heard someone calling their names. It was Ethan, standing at the exit with four bodyguards. He was tall and handsome, impossible to miss in the crowd.
He waved them over.
As soon as they reached him, Ethan walked right up and gently took the two suitcases from Cynthia’s hands.
“Let me handle these, Mom,” he said.
His bodyguards didn’t waste a second. They took the rest of the luggage from Zachary and Amelia. Even the suitcases Ethan had grabbed were quickly taken off his hands. There was no way they’d let their boss carry anything when they were there to help.
Now that he was free, Ethan reached for the backpack on Cynthia’s shoulders. He smiled and said, “Mom, how did you three end up with so much stuff?”
Cynthia looked a little sheepish. “We spent a couple of days shopping before coming back. Everything looked so tempting. One thing led to another, and suddenly we needed more suitcases just to fit it all.”
Ethan grinned. “You know, you could’ve just shipped it back. That way, you wouldn’t have had to carry so much.”
She waved him off. “We just thought, why not bring it all with us? If we flew home together, our things would come too. No need to wait for deliveries.”
After she finished explaining, Cynthia seemed to remember something. She turned to Ethan and said, “Ethan, you really should call me Cynthia from now on. Don’t call me Mom anymore. You and Isabella are divorced. It just doesn’t feel right.”
Ethan’s jaw tightened for a moment. Then he said quietly, “Mom, I want to get back together with Isabella. I really mean it. One way or another, I’m hoping we’ll remarry. When that happens, you’ll be my mother-in-law again, so calling you Mom just feels right to me.”
