Meanwhile, Sasha finally reached Miralaea at eight o’clock in the morning. However, due to the difference in time zone, it was still late night at Miralaea.
Thus, as soon as she reached Miralaea, she made up her mind to take a short break as she was against the idea of rousing her sons from their sleep.
“Mrs. Hayes, why don’t you go ahead and take a shower? Also, aren’t you going to do something to touch up your appearance? I’m afraid they’re going to…”
The bodyguard of SteelFort knew Sasha was aware of his concern. Thus, he stopped himself from finishing his sentence.
Sasha let out a long sigh and marched in the direction of the washroom to deal with her horrendous look.
As a matter of fact, she couldn’t even bear to look at herself in the mirror even when she was alone. She just couldn’t accept the fact she was the horrendous woman in the mirror.
After spending a long time touching up her appearance, she finally made her way out of the washroom.
To her surprise, her sons showed up out of nowhere and catapulted in her direction once she walked out of the washroom.
“Mommy!”
They were thrilled by their mother’s presence after being apart for such a long time. Similarly, Sasha’s eyes welled up at the presence of her affectionate sons.
“I’m here! I’ll always be here!” She leaned over and held her sons firmly in her arms to reciprocate the affection she had for them.
It feels great to be home after being apart for almost six months!
She held them in her arms for a few minutes. Shortly after she regained her composure, she looked at them in the eyes and said, “Ian, Matt, I’m so sorry for being away for such a long time! I’m sure both of you are worried about me! Can you please forgive me for not being a responsible mother?”
Matteo had always been a relatively sentimental little boy. He couldn’t resist the urge to weep when he saw his mother weeping.
Unable to suppress the emotions he had been keeping to himself, he launched himself in his mother’s direction and held her in his arms.
Meanwhile, Ian sniffled and resisted the urge to cry when he heard his mother. He reached over and caressed his mother’s cheek with a completely different look.
“We have never thought of holding you accountable, Mommy! Does it hurt?”
“Huh?”
She felt her body stiffening when she heard Ian’s question.
Shortly after she regained her composure, she grasped her son’s fist and assured him, “It doesn’t really hurt, but I’m afraid it’s going to startle you and Matt. Therefore, I’m going to keep it to myself until I can do something about it. It’s not going to take long, okay?”
“Okay, Mommy.”
Ian responded with a nod and assured his mother not to worry about him because there was no way they would leave her just because of her look. After all, she was the one they held dearly in mind.
Sasha brought them to the kitchen and made them something to eat shortly after they regained their composure after being apart for such a long time.
She thought of making full use of her time since she finally had the opportunity to make her way back to them and keep them company.
“Ian, shall we make some calzone?”
