Chapter 11
Having followed Gabriel for so many years, Alex should be aware of Gabriel's family situation.
"Ever since Madam heard of your death, her health has been deteriorating. She has to take medication every day and sometimes goes to the hospital." Sophia's heart weighed even heavier.
Seeing Sophia's haggard face and reddened eyes, Alex softened and comforted her, "Madam would be very happy if she knew you were still alive."
Sophia could hear the consolation in his words but managed to lift the corners of her mouth slightly. "Thank you."
...
While the meal was being served, Sophia seized the opportunity to borrow a phone from a waiter again and learned that Vincent had already picked up the two children, which made her feel more relieved.
The next morning, Sophia went to the airport with Gabriel. In the VIP lounge, Sophia sat far away from Gabriel while he worked on his laptop. Meanwhile, Sophia was lost in her thoughts.
Suddenly, Gabriel's phone rang, and he glanced at it before answering. Seeing the cold and emotionless man in front of her, without a trace of tenderness, turn into a softer version when he received the call, Sophia felt as if a gentle breeze had melted the ice, and there was a hint of warmth in his tone as he spoke to Tiffany.
"Yes, I'm at the airport. Okay, tell him to take it easy on the iPad..."
He's talking so gently. It must be Tiffany calling. Sophia looked at her own toes, thinking about how she would face those things after returning to the country.
After hanging up the phone, Gabriel glanced at Sophia, who had been lost in her thoughts the whole time. For some unknown reason, he felt a slight tightness in his chest, and he became a bit irritable when handling his work.
It was Tiffany who called him, and Sam was also beside her listening.
Ten minutes later, Sophia boarded the plane behind Gabriel.
...
It took a lot of effort to soothe Emma, but finally, the two children sat obediently on the plane and returned to their home country. As soon as they landed, they saw Uncle Vincent.
Vincent lifted Emma up and ruffled Ethan's hair, his handsome face filled with affection.
"It's been a long time. Ethan and Emma have grown taller."
Emma pouted, looking as if she might burst into tears.
"Godfather, I miss mommy."
"Mommy will come to accompany Emma in a few days. Can Emma go home with godfather for now?"
Emma pouted dissatisfiedly, but her brother said that mommy had encountered some trouble, so they had to temporarily separate from her. If she didn't behave, she would only cause more trouble for mommy.
Although she really missed mommy, she didn't want to add to mommy's troubles, so she had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, I will go to godfather's house with my brother."
"Good girl." Vincent kissed Emma on the cheek, freeing one hand to hold Ethan's hand, and then went to get their luggage.
The handsome man held a cute girl in one arm, pushed the luggage with one hand, and there was also an adorable child holding onto the suitcase. The trio were all very eye-catching, especially with the man appearing strong.
Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention from people. As soon as Vincent came back, he cooked for the two children. He was busy in the kitchen, while Ethan leaned against the doorframe.
"Godfather, can I go to your study to read?"
"Yes, you can go, I will call you when the food is ready."
Ethan immediately grabbed Emma and went to Vincent's study and closed the door, but instead of reading, he turned on Vincent's computer.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Just checking where mommy is now."
Emma immediately fell silent, sitting obediently on the side, her cute big eyes fixed on the computer, feeling very worried about mommy.
A few minutes later, Ethan, whose face resembled Gabriel's, looked serious as he told Emma.
"Mommy should arrive tomorrow."
Ethan found Mommy and Gabriel's flight.
Emma excitedly grabbed onto Ethan's clothes, "Then let's go pick up Mommy tomorrow."
"Not yet, Mommy is with a bad person. I'm afraid she's being controlled by them. She let Caroline bring us back to our godfather to protect us. We can't show up recklessly, or it will affect Mommy's escape."
Ethan's little brain quickly turned, and he guessed the situation. If they wanted to rescue Mommy, they could only wait for her to land and then figure out a plan.
Emma was extremely anxious, although she was usually mischievous, she still listened to her brother in critical moments.
When Vincent came in to call the two children for dinner, he saw them sitting on the floor reading and felt a sense of satisfaction.
Sophia was really good at educating her children, each one so clever and adorable.
However, why did Sophia suddenly send the two children back to the country alone? Was she planning to return to live there?
Vincent still didn't know that Gabriel had already discovered that Sophia was still alive. He was happy that Sophia could return to the country and thought about how to welcome her back.
He would be able to see Sophia more often in the future.
...
The next morning, Sophia arrived at the B City Airport in Z Country. Tiffany had been waiting for a long time. Gabriel walked through the green channel and immediately saw Tiffany eagerly anticipating his arrival.
"Gabriel, you're finally back." Tiffany rushed forward and embraced Gabriel, overflowing with longing.
The irritation that had just risen in Gabriel was restrained after catching a whiff of a fragrance. Half of the coldness in his body dissipated, and he gently lifted his hand to push her shoulder away.
"Didn't I tell you not to come pick me up?"
"I missed you, I couldn't help wanting to see you as soon as possible." Tiffany's charming face blushed with a slight intoxication, her voice soft and tempting.
She intimately held Gabriel's hand and casually glanced, only to then see Sophia standing behind Alex, with a look of disbelief on her face.
" Kelly Sophia!"
Five years ago, Sophia and Tiffany didn't meet often. At that time, Tiffany was by Gabriel's side, and she thought they were just working together. In the end, they turned out to be a couple, while she was just a clown jumping around.
So she didn't have a good impression of Tiffany and didn't want to pay attention to her. After five years, Tiffany became even more radiant, so it's no wonder Gabriel would like her.
"Why, why are you still..." Tiffany covered her mouth in shock, pretending she had just found out, even though she had already found out a few days ago, that Sophia was still alive.
Sophia gently curved her lips.
"Yes, I'm still alive." She said it casually, as if talking about what she had for breakfast.
Tiffany quickly let go of Gabriel and deliberately distanced herself, as if she wasn't familiar with him, and hurriedly explained, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still alive."
Gabriel frowned and, seeing Tiffany's fearful expression, walked over and grabbed her hand, displeased. He asked, "Why are you afraid of her?"
Tiffany struggled to free her hand, her face in a state of panic.
"Gabriel, let go of me. She is your wife, and I..." Tiffany lowered her head and tears began to fall.
Her implicit meaning was that Sophia was still alive, that she was Gabriel's wife, and now Tiffany herself was in the position of a mistress?
Gabriel's frown deepened, and he sighed lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, she's just my ex-wife."
"But..."
Seeing his impatience, Tiffany knew she couldn't say anything more. She then held onto his arm and said, "I understand, I won't mind anymore."
Sophia turned slightly and looked into the distance, completely indifferent to their affectionate display.
Before, she had little contact with Tiffany and didn't know what kind of person she was. But now, she could only think, "Whatever."
Did she think Sophia couldn't see through her act, instead Sophia purposefully said such things to make Gabriel clarify their relationship in front of her. If Tiffany really didn't want to be a mistress, she should have left Gabriel five years ago.
Tiffany affectionately leaned against Gabriel's shoulder and lowered her head slightly. When no one could see, she revealed a smug smile.
Even if Sophia was still alive and like this, Gabriel's heart and eyes were filled with Tiffany. As long as she shed a few tears, Gabriel would abandon everything to comfort her.
Gabriel suddenly turned his head and glared at Sophia fiercely.
Sophia: ...
What a lunatic!
Tiffany drove alone to the airport but on the way back, Gabriel drove while Tiffany sat in the passenger seat. Sophia and Alex sat in the back.
Tiffany glanced at Sophia and asked softly, "Miss Kelly, where do you live?"
"I don't know. Your boyfriend forcibly brought me back here. Ask your boyfriend," Sophia admitted. She did it on purpose, to annoy this couple!
Tiffany indeed looked suspicious and furrowed her brows, "Gabriel."
She called Gabriel, wanting to clarify what was going on.
Gabriel had a habit of not explaining things, so he didn't want to say much. Tiffany could only suppress the bitterness in her heart and turned her head to Sophia, saying, "Miss Kelly, why not stay at my place for now?"
"No need." She wasn't that desperate.
They drove into downtown and finally arrived at an upscale residential area.
"Alex, take her upstairs."
Gabriel gave a command and didn't get off the car. Sophia followed Alex down, and Tiffany rolled down the car window.
"Alex, take good care of Miss Kelly."
Alex nodded slightly. As soon as they got out of the car, Gabriel drove off and Tiffany bit her lip lightly.
"Gabriel, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Gabriel pursed his lips and took a while before comforting her.
"She's just my ex-wife, I have my reasons for bringing her back."
Tiffany guessed, "Is it because of Sam?"
