It was turbulence caused by an air current that led to the plane’s descent.
It returned to normal after a few minutes.
Due to the time difference, it was still daytime in Country M when they arrived.
Before coming, she had already contacted Eric Lowe. When they got off the plane and walked to the exit, they saw Eric Lowe standing not far away.
Freya, carrying Sacha, told Eric Lowe about the situation.
His expression became serious the moment he saw them.
He pretended not to know anything.
The main reason was to prevent Sacha from feeling pressured.
He smiled and said, “Welcome home.”
“Dad.” Sacha also tried her best to act nonchalant in front of Eric Lowe.
She couldn’t force a smile.
She could only try to appear normal.
But her swollen eyes and exhausted appearance, at every moment, indicated that she was not in a good condition.
But Eric Lowe pretended not to see it. “Let’s go inside.”
He embraced his daughter. “I had the auntie at home prepare your favorite dishes. You must have missed them during your time in Country Z, right?”
Sacha said, “I miss them. I really want to eat.”
“I knew it. You little glutton, always craving for food since you were little,” Eric Lowe indulged.
Sacha listened, but tears welled up in her eyes.
“Dad.”
She embraced Eric Lowe and couldn’t control herself as she burst into tears.
Eric Lowe patted her back. “You’re already an adult, yet you’re still acting spoiled! You’re crying so sadly. Did Evan bully you? I’ll fly to Z country right now and seek revenge for you…”
“Dad.” Sacha quickly explained, “No, he didn’t bully me.”
“Then why are you crying? Is it because you missed me too much?”
“Yes, I missed you so much. Let’s go home quickly, I miss home.”
Freya silently followed behind.
It seemed right to send Sacha to Eric Lowe’s side.
At least Sacha wouldn’t do anything foolish.
As Freya watched, a hint of envy appeared in her eyes. Eric Lowe could pour all his love into an adopted daughter.
As for her biological father, the moments when she felt affection and love were few and far between.
The memories she could recall were his indifference and lack of understanding towards her.
She collected her thoughts and caught up with them.
When Freya booked her ticket here, she also booked her return ticket.
She didn’t have much time to stay here. Just enough time for a meal.
Taking advantage of Sacha’s absence from the dining table, Freya said, “Evan has expressed his stance. He won’t abandon Sacha.”
Eric Lowe’s face remained cold, without much change. “Thank him for me.”
“As for those…” Freya knew what he wanted to ask.
“Evan and Elijah will handle it. Don’t worry,” Freya reassured him.
“They might need you to be with her constantly.”
Eric Lowe nodded. “That’s good. I will take care of her. Won’t you stay here for a night before you leave?”
Freya shook her head. “I have something to attend to back home.”
“Well then, I won’t keep you. When Sacha gets better, I’ll bring her to visit you.”
Freya agreed with a nod.
After a brief rest, she boarded the return flight.
…
Freya didn’t come back home that night, and Kai felt a bit disappointed. He usually only ate half a bowl of rice, but today he took a few bites and refused to eat anymore.
Elowen didn’t know that Freya had gone abroad. She picked up her phone and wanted to call her.
Elijah said, “She has something to take care of tonight, so she won’t be coming back.”
Elowen muttered, “I told her to come back earlier at night. I don’t know what she’s busy with all the time.”
She deliberately showed her dissatisfaction with Freya in front of Elijah.
Elijah saw through her but didn’t say anything.
“Mom, what did you want to talk to me about?”
Taking the opportunity, Elowen finally said what she wanted to say to him.
She pulled a chair and sat down, her hand gripping a towel on the table. “Although I am her mother, I owe Freya a lot. You also know that her father, Eric Lowe, is not a good husband. He betrayed our marriage, he betrayed his wife, and he had a child with the other woman. Freya never received much fatherly love since she was little. When I was sick, Leo Stone turned a blind eye. It was because she had to save me that she married you.”
She looked at Elijah. “People who lack love from a young age also lack a sense of security, Freya is no exception. She had witnessed firsthand the unfortunate outcome of my marriage, leaving a shadow in her heart. She doesn’t want to give up her job, perhaps fearing that in the future, if anything were to happen, she would end up in the same situation as me. It might sound selfish for me to say this to you, but I have made it clear that I hope she can continue working.”
