Its a long way to have a peaceful life and family. Misha went home with fatigue written all over her face. She was away for how many days and missed her children very much.
Gabrielle was sitting alone in the living room when Misha came in. Gabrielle immediately sprung from her seat while her heart pounding from nervousness.
Ezekiel went out without their permission and asked her to cover up for him. She was thinking of ways to cover him up but Misha came in when she was lost in her thoughts.
Still, she calmed herself down and went to her mother.
"You're back!" Gabrielle exclaimed.
"Yup. I'm so tired darling..." Misha whined.
"Then, how about I'll give you a massage later..." Gabrielle suggested.
"Sure honey... I love your massage the most..." Misha kissed her on the cheeks and Gabrielle got her bag and suit case from her. Misha changed her shoes to slippers.
"This is what should I do Mom..." Gabrielle said lovingly while dragging the suit case towards the master bedroom. Misha then followed.
Gabrielle opened the door and put the suit case on the floor.
Misha on the other hand drank some water to quench her thirst. Then, she noticed the absence of her son.
"Gab... Where's your brother?" Misha asked the bubbly teenager across her.
"He said, he's going to his friends house because they had group project..." Gabrielle answered in the most honest tone she could get. Her eyes darted from left to right. Unsure where to look at.
Misha knew that the young lady is lying.
"I know you're lying... Where's your brother?" Misha could hardly guess what's going on with them.
"Errr… Mom... You know... He's racing with his friends... He said that you will worry about him so he told me to lie to you... I didn't mean it Mom... He made me to..." Gabrielle admitted. She's not good in lying and she wanted Ezekiel to find trouble for himself.
"The next time you will lie to me, I'll deduct your monthly allowance and have you work part-time in your dad's office." Misha warned which was way effective than any other threat to her.
"I won't lie to you again Mom... Don't deduct my monthly allowance or my pet store won't run smoothly... You know..." Gab sheepishly said.
"Hmph!" Misha walked out from the living room and proceeded to call her son over the phone. Moments later, the phone kept ringing but the boy did not have any intention to answer which made Misha more livid.
"Gabrielle! Come here!" Misha called out with an evident anger in her voice.
"What is it Mom? Is brother not answering?" Gabrielle walked slowly towards Misha as she's afraid to incur the wrath of the Empress.
"Where exactly is he?" Misha ask her with a grave tone.
"He's at the mountain... They were betting if brother could break his past records in downhill racing..." Gabrielle said it all and it almost made Misha go berserk.
"Well, I think Trisha is with him. I'll call her..." Gabrielle said fearfully.
"Who's Trisha?" Misha did not know that her own boy had finally won the heart of their super student in school.
"His girl... friend???.... I guess..." Gabrielle answered tearfully. She regretted that she didn't join her brother in racing tonight. Being questioned with their own mother is more fearful than racing.
She wanted to cry but could not shed tears.
Misha on the other hand had almost lost her mind due to information overload. It was only months when she went away and got busy with the talent agency but her son and daughter had already kept so many things with her.
Like a wilted flower, she slumped lifelessly on the sofa and had a vacant stare at the wall.
She had a deep sigh.
