“Let’s hope so.”
But Rosalind had a bad feeling.
After this incident, Ulric would definitely get to the bottom of it before he let it go. That was his personality.
As they spoke, Malcolm’s car arrived downstairs.
Tilda quickly shouted, “They’re back! They’re back!”
Rosalind didn’t even have time to change her slippers and ran downstairs directly.
The moment she saw Jake’s little face, her tears couldn’t be stopped.
“Jake… you scared Mommy to death, Jake…”
“Mommy, I’m sorry.” Seeing her cry, Jake was clearly flustered too. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have run out on my own!”
“No, no… It’s because Mommy didn’t give you enough love. It’s Mommy’s fault!”
She had only thought about making more money and following her own plans-when to leave the country and when to spend time with the kids-without considering whether the kids could accept such arrangements!
Rosalind felt very guilty.
Watching them hug, Tilda couldn’t help but shed tears too.
Malcolm walked over and patted her shoulder. “Let’s go inside first!”
“Okay.”
In the room, Floyd had just opened her eyes and saw her brother in front of her.
She was so shocked that she sat there speechless!
“Brother?”
“What kind of expression is that? It’s me.” Jake walked over. Though he spoke with disdain, he still sat beside Floyd.
Floyd, as enthusiastic as ever, hugged her brother and started kissing him all over, making it impossible for Jake to dodge!
Watching them play around, Rosalind felt that a part of her heart was finally filled.
This time she made up her mind never to be separated from the two kids again.
Malcolm glanced at Rosalind and quietly pulled her aside. “Um… Rosalind, it seems Jake caused some trouble earlier!”
He recounted what had happened to Rosalind and watched as her face grew more and more shocked.
“What? He hacked W Group’s software?”
“Yes…”
“Does Ulric know it was him?”
“Jake said it couldn’t be traced back to him, but I don’t really understand these network things.”
Rosalind held her aching head and looked at Jake still playing with Floyd. “I’ll take them away from Northville City right now to prevent any leaks!”
After all, this was Ulric’s territory, full of dangers that made her feel completely unsafe.
“I’ll go with you.” Malcolm had returned home primarily to find Jake anyway. If they left, he had no reason to stay in Northville City either.
Rosalind glanced at him and bit her lip. “Malcolm, the kids have me. We’ll be fine! You must be very busy with your work abroad; you should go back.”
“It’s okay. I can take a leave.”
“But this favor is too heavy. I really feel suffocated by it.” Rosalind had to speak her mind. “I consider you and Tilda as family, but you and I-we’re impossible. Don’t waste your time on me anymore.”
“This is my choice! You’ve rejected me many times; I know that. You’ve made your stance clear. Everything I’m doing is voluntary. I have no complaints and won’t force you to be with me or repay any favors.”
