The situation left Kira with no choice, so she had to take all four of them out.
As expected by Sasha, taking the boys out to have dessert wasn’t Kira’s sole intention. The latter followed Jasmine’s instruction to bring them to Warlock Road for a meal.
Warlock Road was the oldest street in the city. Back then, ancient tombs were found underneath it.
Jasmine did so to make them jinxed or cursed. After all, the six-year-old boys were still immature. According to superstition, young children like them could be easily possessed by spirits.
Soon, Kira brought them to a dessert shop opposite the ancient tombs museum.
“Alright, we’re here. I’ll go in and say hi to the owner. Take a seat.”
“Sure,” Matteo answered obediently.
Afterward, Sasha and her children sat at a table, waiting for the dessert to be served.
“Spill it, you two. Why do you want to follow Ms. Woods here for dessert?”
Since they were already here, Sasha no longer hold herself back, taking the opportunity to interrogate the two boys when Kira was not around.
The two boys’ expressions changed at her words.
Shoot! How did Mommy find out?
They fidgeted nervously in their seats, and they could not bring themselves to meet their mother’s gaze.
Judging from their reactions, Sasha knew that she was right. Immediately, anger pulsed through her veins. Her expression grew grim as she glared sternly at them.
“Have you forgotten what I said? I told you that our family is in a very dangerous situation now. Every one of you, your daddy, and I have to protect ourselves. But what are you doing right now? Why did you come out with her? Tell me now!”
Her eyes were red-rimmed because of her rage.
Ever since they moved here, she had been a bundle of nerves, afraid that anything bad would happen to the children.
Besides, their father was not around now.
Overwhelmed with fury and fear, Sasha could not help but quiver all over.
The two boys realized their mistake when they saw their mother crying from exasperation. With their heads hung in shame, they stood up and ambled toward her.
“Sorry, Mommy. It’s all our fault.”
“Yes, Mommy. Please don’t cry.”
Ian swiftly came to her side, reaching out to wipe the tears off her face gently.
