CONAN — "This is almost evening, and they are not yet back. What type of shopping are they doing? From morning till now, they are not yet done shopping," I muttered, wondering what could have gone wrong. I picked up my phone from the table beside me and dialled the chauffeur number, whom I assigned to Yvonne. I wanted to find out what had kept them so long in the shopping since Yvonne's line was not going through. As I dialled the number, it rang for a few seconds, and he picked it up. "Hello, Maverick, what has kept you guys out there? Since morning you drove them for the shopping and hadn't returned, what is happening? I was even scared if something had happened to them on the road," I asked him. "I'm sorry, my Alpha, but I'm at home. I have been at home since morning," he replied. My eyes rolled in their sockets upon hearing that. "What do you mean? Are you not supposed to drive them to their destination? Are you crazy?" I yelled at him, infuriated by his reply. "I'm sorry,

YVONNE — I let out a deep sigh of relief as our plane landed on the big field of the city, and a smile of joy crept onto my lips. "Mommy, are we now back in the city?" Liam asked as he read the big signpost with a caption of the city's name, New York. "Yes, honey. We are back in the city," I replied, still smiling. "But Mommy, you said we were going shopping for the upcoming party Daddy had mentioned hosting for us," Amelia remarked. Nonetheless, I did as if I did not hear her comment. "Mommy, what about Daddy? Is he coming with us here in the city?" Kiara asked. "Yes, dear," I responded. "But Mommy, you did not tell him we were leaving for the city. Instead, you told anyone, including us, that you were taking us shopping," she added. "We discussed it in our room before making it open in the dining room. It is in this city that the party would be hosted," I remarked, trying to clear their doubt, but they were becoming difficult to convince. They kept asking me questio

YVONNE —Inside the house, we had just finished eating, and the kids dozed off. They must have felt tired and broke down because of the long journey we had on the plane. Even when we landed, we continued the journey without any refreshments or resting for a bit.Even I felt broken down. How then about kids?"So, Yvonne, tell me, what do you say really happened?" Amanda questioned me."My dear. It's such a long story, but I need to take some rest as well so I can get some strength. I have been through a lot," I remarked, standing up from the dining table and heading to my room."I'm sorry, but I need to sleep now so I can wake up before the kids. If I slept late after them, they would wake up before me, and there would not be a chance for us to have a discussion," I apologized."No, it's okay, dear. You need sleep. Take as much time as you want, hon. After all, you are just coming back from a trip, or should I say you are just returning from a death race?" Amanda resounded, and we chuc

I dialed the number on the old phone and increased the volume so they could hear the result by themselves.As soon as I dialed the contact, they came closer so they could hear their father and also speak with him as they wished.As planned, a female voice was heard from the phone: "The number you dialed is currently switched off; please try again later."I let out a sigh of joy inwardly and then glared at them. "His phone is switched off, dear," I remarked, pretending to be sad about it.Their faces were saddened upon hearing that. "Mommy, could you try his other line? Daddy has two phones," Amelia stated, making me so infuriated that I wished to slap her immediately for saying that. Just now that I had thought I had succeeded in deceiving them, Amelia came up with a logic."Well, I would have done it if I had the number, but unfortunately, it was only this contact number of his that I had because it's always active all the time. Hence, I did not bother asking him for his other number

YVONNE —The next day, I had just woken up from sleep, and the first thought that came to my mind was what to say to my kids when they asked me why their daddy had yet to arrive.I rose from the bed and went to Amanda's room in search of the solution because I did not have a discussion with her yesterday as I had planned due to how early she went to bed."Good morning, Amanda," I greeted as I banged the door open and walked in. I was even surprised that the door was not locked. She literally slept without locking her door, or perhaps she had woken up very early in the morning before any other person.She rolled around the bed and slowly rose to sit."Oh, you are still sleeping?" I exclaimed. "I'm so sorry that I woke you up from sleeping. I actually thought you were awake already. Hence, your door was opened." I apologized."No, it's okay. Do you need my help in something to find me in my room this morning?" she asked. "Are you ready for work?""Not at all, dear. There is no work toda
