Chapter 760
Ivan had seen these kids before, but the visual impact of having all four appear before him at once was much stronger.
He slowly came to his senses and stood up walking over. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't protect you and your mommy."
"Daddy, you're a big meanie." Angela threw herself into Ivan's arms and burst into tears.
Owen choked up and said, "Daddy, will you suddenly disappear again?"
Ivan shook his head. "No, never again."
He would never let Haley and the children fall into danger again.
Keith's eyes welled up with tears. "Daddy, when are we going home?"
"As soon as things are settled here, I'll bring you all home." Ivan extended his large hand and gathered the kids into his arms.
Todd struggled uncomfortably and said softly, "Daddy, Mommy has been through a lot. You need to treat her better from now on."
Ivan patted his head. "Of course."
As Haley saw them hugging together, her eyes slightly welled up with tears.
It was such an ordinary moment, but somehow it moved her deeply.
The children, woken up in the middle of the night, became sleepy again after a while. Ivan carried one child in each arm and made two trips to send the kids back to their rooms.
The night grew deeper.
"I'm sorry, Haley. I have to go back." Ivan held Haley in his arms, his voice hoarse. "Give me seven more days to deal with the Black Gang. During these seven days, take good care of the kids and don't come looking for me."
Haley nodded. "Then I'll wait for you."
Ivan planted a kiss on her forehead and leaped out of the balcony window. His tall and upright figure quickly disappeared down the street.
Haley stared blankly at the pitch-black night sky, silently praying for everything to go smoothly.
As soon as Ivan arrived at the entrance of the Black Gang's core villa, he saw Isabel pacing back and forth outside.
He glanced at the time. It was four in the morning. 'What was Isabel doing here at this hour?'
He walked over step by step.
Hearing footsteps, Isabel looked up suddenly, a bit incredulous. "Leonardo, why are you coming back from outside? Where have you been?"
"Miss Spencer, do you think I am obligated to answer your questions?" Ivan's voice carried the chill of the early morning wind.
He spoke coldly, "Quillan is waiting for trial in prison. Are you planning to join him?"
Isabel shuddered.
A few days ago, Quillan and Anthony were intercepted by Leonardo while transporting firearms, leading to a fierce conflict.
In the end, Quillan and Anthony were captured.
Quillan was old and couldn't survive in the prison. She had to get him out.
Isabel couldn't sleep all night and decided to wait for Leonardo.
As long as she humbled herself enough, Leonardo would surely soften and release Quillan.
"Leonardo, those firearms were all purchased by Anthony. They have nothing to do with Quillan," Isabel gritted her teeth. "If you release him, I will agree to any condition you set."
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?" Leonardo's eyebrows were full of coldness.
"After Quillan was imprisoned, his subordinates all came under my command." Isabel gritted her teeth. "If you release him, I will hand all these people over to you."
