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.
Sasha stifled the distress in her heart, wrapping her arms around her sons.
“Then can you tell me, why must you come out with Ms. Woods today?” she questioned again.
The woman discovered that something was wrong at the Oceanic Estate, so she insisted on tagging along with her daughter.
As their mother, I know the two of them very well. They’ve never requested a stranger to take them out for a meal, let alone a dessert.
Born into the Hayes family with a silver spoon in his mouth, Ian and Matteo certainly had tasted all sorts of delicacies.
Nevertheless, they were overly keen today, especially her younger son, Matteo. She could barely stand how enthusiastic he was toward Kira.
He was not like himself at all.
The woman waited patiently for their answer.
“Mommy, we deliberately let Kira bring us out because we feel she is up to something bad.”
“Up to something?”
“Yes, Mommy. Don’t you think she treats me and Ian with too much care and eagerness? Vivi said that Kira wanted to please her in the beginning when you hadn’t come back.”
Matteo mentioned Vivian suddenly.
As soon as Sasha heard that, her gaze landed on her daughter. “Vivi, is that true?”
Holding the rose gold pearl, the little girl nodded without any hesitation.
“That’s right, Mommy. She’s a bad woman. Before you came back, she always asked me about Daddy whenever Aunt Sabrina was not around. Aunt Sabrina said she was a bad woman too. She must be the one who harmed Brother Cal!”
The six-year-old girl’s big, round eyes glinted with fury and bitterness at the mention of Calvin.
Sasha’s heart ached for her daughter.
In fact, she noticed the changes in her daughter’s personality these days.
Never had she expected that Calvin’s death would cause her ignorant and innocent daughter to mature overnight. Now Vivian knew what vengeance and resentment were.
Sasha reached out to pull Vivian into her embrace.
“Alright, don’t worry. If she’s really a bad woman, I promise I will make her pay the price.”
“Okay, Mommy,” the three children answered in unison.
A few minutes later, Kira finally came out.
