Chapter 856

"It's Mommy!"

All three kids blurted at the same time. It had been two years since they last saw her, and they had all grown up. They had also made tons of new memories, and their mommy had changed her style and outfit...

Despite all that, they could still recognize their mommy in one glance.

Over the past two years, they had gotten together every now and then to watch their mommy's photos and videos. Hence, their mommy's appearance had already been etched into their mind and their hearts. They would always remember her.

"Mommy is back. She's really back," exclaimed Robbie excitedly.

"Mommy went to the hospital to visit us!" added Jamie excitedly. He was on the verge of jumping when he said, "Fifi actually saw Mommy in the hospital!"

"Why did Mommy hide?" asked Ellie. Her clear eyes were brimming with tears when she asked in between sobs, "Why won't she come to meet us?" "Mommy has her reasons..."

Robbie understood how things were. Their mommy was chased away on her wedding day, so it was understandable that she would refuse to show up again.

But Mommy had snuck to the hospital to see how we're doing, so she probably misses us a lot.

"Robbie, let's go tell daddy about it. We'll ask him to take Mommy home," suggested Ellie as she tugged at Robbie's clothes and added excitedly, "And Mrs. Berry can come home too!"

"Ellie..." murmured Robbie as he frowned before he informed grimly, "We can't tell Daddy about this."

"Why not?" asked Ellie in a confused tone while staring at him.

"Robbie, are you keeping a secret from us?" demanded Jamie, "Just tell us the truth."

Robbie deliberated before he made things seem less grave than they actually were. He said, "Mommy didn't show herself or come meet us in person. She must have her reasons for doing that. We don't know the specifics, but she must be burdened by something.

"Moreover, she secretly went to the hospital to see how we're doing. That means she doesn't want Daddy to know about it. If we inform daddy, she will likely get angry."

"Your analysis is sound," agreed Jamie after deliberating the situation. He nodded and added, "What do we do now?"

"We can contact Mommy in person," said Robbie, who already had a plan. "Let's not tell Daddy... Actually, let's not tell anyone about this. This will be our secret, okay?" "Okay," agreed Jamie and Ellie while nodding.

"Alright, you guys go have lunch. I'll join you in a moment."

Robbie turned off the surveillance app on his phone and fed Fifi some snacks. He stroked its tiny head and praised, "Fifi, you did a good job this time. I will reward you for it."

"Reward! Reward!" called out Fifi while flapping its wings. It seemed excited.

"Alright, you be good. When the time comes, we will need you to help look for mommy."

Robbie fed it some water and was about to leave when the door to the study room opened. He blurted in surprise, "Daddy, you're awake?"

"Yeah," replied Zachary in his casual wear. He rushed in with Ben and Bruce right behind him.

"Go have lunch," instructed Zachary while stroking Robbie's tiny head gently.

"Okay," said Robbie. He had Fifi with him when he left. He turned around to close the door. That was when he saw his Daddy frowning grimly and looking troubled. He knew then and there that the issue was grave...

"Let me do it," said Ben as he walked over to close the door.

Robbie retracted his gaze and turned around to leave.

"Didn't I tell you to keep the media down and not to let them share nonsense? Why is the rumor spreading like wildfire?"

Zachary's angry voice boomed from inside the room.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Nacht. I went to deal with it immediately, but..."

Robbie couldn't hear the rest of that sentence, but he knew that his daddy was in trouble.

After reading the documents, Robbie worried that his mommy might be behind the trouble his daddy was facing.

Robbie was too young to understand what was going on between the adults. However... I wish Mommy and Daddy could go back to the way they used to be and stop arguing...
