"Why are you even telling them this? They won't even understand even if we explain to them." Emma said as she smirked at them. "Yeah, that's also true." Evelyn also nodded seriously hearing her remarks with a smile.
Zara was still reclining on the couch, happily watching the scenario develop in front of her. She was used to these situations from the start of her time here. So she merely gazed at them joyfully and would intervene only if the situation appeared out of hand.
"Look, Luna. We're already being treated this way by your grandmas. Who will support us if you leave?" Charles came forward and asked Zara dotingly with a sad expression.
"Grandpa Charles, I think if you call Uncles they'll come and help you." Zara spoke calmly. "What? You're uncles? All they'll say is that they're too busy to come over." Charles's mood abruptly shifted upon hearing the word 'uncles' from Zara.
According to the outside world, the four elders of Sunset Retreat Mansion did not have children. However, what the public is unaware of is that every one of them has a son who are in their early thirties.
The elders chose to have children on their own after being provoked by Zara's two grandfathers and seeing the well-behaved sons of the Adam and Daisen families, but they did so in their middle age.
There was just one difference between all of the children when they were born. During such times, the seniors' scalps became numb as a result of their mischievousness and naughtiness.
From then on, they felt that they had been deceived by that old man in the Zara family and would always fight whenever they came in front of each other.
The four elders believed it to be a gendered issue. They believed that things would be different if they had a daughter. In order to instill culture and discipline in their boys, they would torment them and be quite tough with them.
Over time, the elders became even more enraged when no son continued their father's career or followed in his footsteps. Max and Mathew would confront them, "At least we have an heir to pass down our knowledge," as a result. "Unlike certain individuals."
However, the women continued to adore their sons and occasionally sided with them in arguments with their spouses. The lads then ceased going to Sunset Retreat Mansion on a regular basis as a result of the pestering by their fathers.
The elders were even more enraged when their sons returned for a visit just after Zara's stay, just to spend more time with her. Nevertheless, Zara's backing this time prevented the elders from objecting and allowed them to act as they pleased.
.......
Hearing Charles's words, Zara raised one of her eyebrows and said calmly, "Isn't that because you all will scold them as soon as you see them?" Charles wanted to say anything, but seeing Zara's reaction, he could only hang his head and accept it.
The other three looked at the dumb Charles, criticized him in their hearts, and planned to deal with him when Zara went.
The ladies were overjoyed to see their defeated husbands, who were usually scolding their sons.
After they had their fill of staring at their disappointed husband's face, Emma looked at the clock and remarked, "Luna, it's getting late. You'll be late if you argue with them further."
The items were quickly moved by the servants to the car, which drove to the airport. Zara glanced at the individuals who were still following her and stated calmly, "I already told you not to come with me to the airport. You can all relax at home. And when I get home, I'll give you a call."
Arthur opened his mouth to speak, but Michael grabbed his hand. Michael smiled at Zara and said, "Then we will listen to you. We will not trail you. However, do not attempt to force the bodyguard to flee and leave you alone."
"Grandpa Michael, I'm going home. Why do I need guards at this time?" Zara asked looking at Michael. "Do you remember what happened, once we did as you asked? We cannot allow that to happen again." James said in a serious tone while looking at Zara.
Once, she convinced Arthur to order the bodyguards to back off when she went on a trip. However, what occurred next terrified the elders. Because when Zara came back, all they saw was her body covered in bandages and sporting a few bruises.
Zara forbade them from telling Adam or the Daisen family about this circumstance, so they chose not to inform them. Except for the guards who followed Arthur's orders, everything Zara wanted could be done according to her.
The elders didn't give a damn about Zara's viewpoint after that, and they made plans for some very skilled bodyguards to follow her quietly so no one would know. But Zara was aware of it but she kept quiet to let the elders have peace of mind.
.......
Zara could only listen and nod at the elder's remarks, realizing that there was no use in discussing this.
With red eyes and a smile on her face, Avery stepped up to take Zara's hand and said, "Luna, don't forget to give us a call. And when you're free, come on over here. Never overwork yourself. Get some rest."
After Avery finished, the remaining three gave Zara advice one by one. Eventually, after some time, they let Zara get into the car and sent her off from the mansion's entrance.
Zara arrived at the airport in no time, settling into her private plane while the guards unloaded the bags.
After loading the suitcases, the jet took off swiftly. Zara sat on her jet comfortably and was thinking about her family members and a warm smile broke out on her face. Then, she continued to work with her iPad.
Zara, however, intended to see her friend in Averna before heading to Elbonia, where she also planned to buy gifts for her family. Zara had no trouble because Averna was Elbonia's neighboring nation.
After an eight-hour flight, the jet landed at Averna's terminal. Zara got down and asked only one bodyguard to follow her leaving the remaining in the airport.
In Averna, it was already after six. After renting a car, Zara headed directly to the airport-proximate shopping center and invited her buddy to meet her there. When Zara arrived at the mall, she instructed her security to wait for her at the ground floor cafe.
