Chapter 1857
Just thinking about her sent a pang of pain through my heart.
Lost in my thoughts, I stared out the window, feeling a tinge of sadness.
Caleb, who had been amusing the baby, suddenly turned to me, enveloping my shoulders with his arms, and asked with concern, “What’s the matter? Are you worn out from the long drive?”
I gave a faint shake of my head.
“No.
”
His face grew solemn.
“Aren’t you excited about reuniting with our babies soon?”
The thought of seeing my children soon eased some of my anxiety.
I managed a smile and responded, “Of course, I’m thrilled to see them.
I’m just unsure if they’ll appreciate the gifts I’ve brought them.
”
With a warm smile, Caleb pinched my nose playfully.
“How could they not? The kids have missed their mom terribly while you were away.
Your return is the greatest gift they could ask for.
”
My mood lightened considerably, and the sheer anticipation of seeing the children soon chased away all my worries.
Time seemed to speed up as we chatted and laughed together.
Before long, we reached the entrance of Caleb’s villa.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
From afar, I spotted Jenifer standing with the two children, so I quickly rolled down the window to wave at them.
The children noticed me and joyfully called out, “Mommy!” as they ran towards me.
However, as Elena rushed to the car I was in, she collided with a woman.
Elena tumbled to the ground, her tears flowing freely.
Jenifer quickly scooped her up.
My heart pounded at the sight.
I urged the driver to stop and dashed over.
I gently took Elena from Jenifer, concern flooding my voice.
“Sweetheart, don’t cry.
Are you hurt? Let me see.
”
Elena sobbed bitterly.
Just as I considered taking her to the doctor, I heard the woman sitting on the ground cry out, clutching her stomach.
“Ah… My belly hurts.
”
As soon as I heard the voice, I instinctively turned around, only to see Alexandria-the last person I ever wanted to encounter.
She had just collided with Elena and now clutched her belly, wincing in pain.
The sight of her brought back the memory of finding Alexandria and Caleb together in bed.
My heart skipped a beat as a troubling thought surfaced.
Could Alexandria be pregnant?
This chilling possibility sent a shiver through me, causing me to tremble uncontrollably.
Sensing my distress, Elena ki*sed my cheek and whispered reassuringly, “Mom, don’t worry.
I’m okay.
