"If that's the case, we…"
"Just go ahead and return to Daddy's place." Randy stopped his siblings from finishing their sentence as he was afraid his siblings would change their minds due to the sentimental session.
Truth be told, he had his fair share of doubts against their so-called uncle. Thus, he had always wanted to send them back to their father's side to ensure their safety.
"I-I'm unwilling to leave Mommy alone!" Venus started weeping as emotions came flooding out once again.
In an attempt to console her daughter, Carla kissed the little girl on the cheek. "We're merely a short distance away from one another. If you miss me, just drop by and pay me a visit whenever you're free."
When Josh recalled their mission to bring Carla home, he suggested, "Mommy, if you miss us, you can always drop by and pay us a visit as well!"
"Sure!" Carla promised her younger son and responded with a satisfied beam.
The little girl showed Carla her pinkie and suggested, "If that's the case, let's make it a deal with a pinkie promise!"
Carla played along with her daughter and urged, "I want all of you to save my contact number in your smartwatch and get in touch with me if there's anything you need."
"Okay, Mommy!"
Randy handed over Little Dori to his sister and reminded her, "Take Little Dori with you! If there's anything you need from us, just send it to deliver the message on your behalf!"
"Alright, Randy!"
In the end, Josh and Venus marched out of the restaurant with those around Benard and made their way back home.
Similarly, Naya returned along with the rest of the medical staff.
Prior to their departure, Benard assured Carla, "Ms. Lierger, I'll ensure the safety of Mr. Joshua and Ms. Venus at all costs. Mr. Giblo has mentioned you're free to go home if you wish to see the children."
Benard did a great job rephrasing his sentence and successfully played to Carla's emotions. She even thought she might have a great time with the man and her children there.
As much as she was overwhelmed by the sentimental moments, she put on a strong front and urged, "Alright, just get going already."
Benard bowed and wrapped up the conversation with Carla before walking in the direction of Josh and Venus.
Holding Little Dori in their arms, Josh and Venus wound down the window and yelled, "Mommy, Randy, goodbye!"
Carla held Randy in her arms and waved at them.
In spite of feeling overwhelmed because of her children's departure, Carla was glad Randy was around to keep her company. With that being said, she felt a sense of guilt and asked, "Randy, are you going to feel lonely without your siblings?"
"Nah, I prefer spending my time alone since I need a quiet environment to do some reading and carry on with my research."
His mother leaned over and assured him in a gentle tone, "If you're feeling lonely, just tell me! We'll bring Josh and Venus out with us and do something fun!"
"Alright, Mommy! I guess it's time to go home!"
Shortly after Carla brought Randy into the silver Rolls-Royce at the entrance, the car accelerated in the direction of Rokan Hill.
The sun was about to set in the evening. Staring ahead of the car, Carla noticed the cars of those affiliated with the Giblo family were merely a few feet ahead of their car.
Her mind was all over her place when she thought of her children. As much as she wished to gain custody over them, they seemed to have gotten used to the lifestyle as a member of the Giblo family.
Are they going to blame me if I try to gain custody over them and take them away from their father against their will?
Maybe I need to stop overthinking things and just go along with the flow since they seem to have made up their minds.
Shortly after Benard returned home with Josh and Venus, he instructed Naya to take care of them. Once he ensured there were plenty of people around to keep them safe, he made his way to meet up with Zayn.
Naya found out Josh was fine after having a fever over the past few days. On the contrary, Venus got increasingly frail as her face turned pale and haggard.
She mentioned she could feel a racking sensation coming from her stomach. When Naya was about to examine the actual cause of the little girl's discomfort, Venus started puking.
