Meanwhile, Sasha finally reached Miralaea at eight oâclock 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.
âMrs. Hayes, why donât you go ahead and take a shower? Also, arenât you going to do something to
touch up your appearance? Iâm afraid theyâre going toâ¦â
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 couldnât even bear to look at herself in the mirror even when she was alone. She
just couldnât 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.
âMommy!â
They were thrilled by their motherâs presence after being apart for such a long time. Similarly, Sashaâs
eyes welled up at the presence of her affectionate sons.
âIâm here! Iâll always be here!â 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, âIan, Matt, Iâm so sorry for being away for such a long time! Iâm sure both of
you are worried about me! Can you please forgive me for not being a responsible mother?â
Matteo had always been a relatively sentimental little boy. He couldnât 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 motherâs
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 motherâs cheek with a completely different look.
âWe have never thought of holding you accountable, Mommy! Does it hurt?â
âHuh?â
She felt her body stiffening when she heard Ianâs question.
Shortly after she regained her composure, she grasped her sonâs fist and assured him, âIt doesnât really
hurt, but Iâm afraid itâs going to startle you and Matt. Therefore, Iâm going to keep it to myself until I can
do something about it. Itâs not going to take long, okay?â
âOkay, Mommy.â
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.
âIan, shall we make some calzone?â
âSure!â
Sasha turned around and asked her younger son, âWhat about you, Matt? Have you any cravings?â
After she sort out the menu for their breakfast, she saw that her sons had gathered around and started
engaging in a conversation in a hushed voice.
âJust you wait and see! Iâm sure Mommy is back to teach us a lesson!â
âW-Well, weâre the ones at fault, arenât we?â
When Matteo heard Ian admitting their faults, his head drooped over his shoulders in a similar manner,
indicating they were equally upset.
I know weâre the ones at fault, but weâre merely trying to do Daddy and Mommy a favor! Otherwise, we
wouldnât have wasted our time to hack into that old geezerâs system!
Their mother showed no signs of reprimanding them throughout the day. To be precise, Sasha refrained
from bringing up the issue she was there for until it was evening.
Shortly after they had their meal in the evening, Sasha asked her sons to gather around in front of her.
She asked with a serious look, âIan, Matteo, are you aware of the reason Iâm back?â
âYes.â
The two little boysâ heads drooped over their shoulders again. They knew it was time for them to bear the
consequences of their actions.
âNo! I donât think any of you are aware of the actual reason Iâm back! Are you aware of the things your
father and I are going through? Are you aware his life is at stake the very moment Iâm away from him?â
Sasha made up her mind to tell her sons the truth.
âWhat? Why is Daddyâs life at stake?â
When the little boys heard their mother, they looked at her in the eyes with fear written all over their
faces.
Sasha responded with a nod and added, âWeâre in quite a tough spot due to several ongoing issues at
our ends. Initially, I have stopped Karl from sharing the details with both of you, but I think itâs time to stop
keeping both of you in the dark for the sake of everyoneâs safety.â
Sasha shared the ongoing incidents with her sons without holding back and ensured they were on the
same page.
âM-Mommy, are you serious?â Matteo asked with an apologetic look. The little boy seemed as if he was
about to have another emotional breakdown.
It was pretty much the same for Ian, but he chose to keep his emotions to himself, grasping the toy he
had with him with all his might to stop himself from weeping.
Sasha was equally heartbroken because of her sonsâ response. In the end, she urged, âIâm being pretty
serious, but things have not come to the worst. Iâll definitely try my best to save your father! In other
words, both of you need to stop trying anything rash without my consent. Am I clear?â
âAlright, Mommy! We wonât do anything rash again!â
âYes, Mommy!â
Her sons responded with a nod and promised to mind their behaviors since they had finally figured out
the challenges awaiting their family.
Thrilled by her sonsâ response, Sasha held them in her arms and spent the night with them to cherish
their moments together since she had to return to Jadeborough soon.
She was still clueless about the things in store for her, including the foes trying to take her out.
