Chapter 1055
"I'll stay here and take good care of Miss Adams/ Eagle assured Irene.
You have nothing to worry about."
Irene was certainly assured with Eagle around.
Meanwhile, she still had not called Isaac as she was heading home to surprise him.
It was daytime when she arrived at Franconia due to the time difference, and took a cab home from the airport.
She checked her wristwatch to see if he would be at home, and decided that he would still be home.
She could not help feeling thrilled at the thought of seeing him again, her drowsiness fading just then as she was
eager to get home sooner to see him and their children.
She looked out at the scenery. Unlike Zidonia's green zones, most of the area was urbanized, but the buildings

She alighted once her cab arrived outside the castle, and headed inside.
Pierre was the first to see her, and he appeared surprised. "Ma'am..."
Irene smiled at him and asked, "Has he left for work?"
"He just did," he said, and checked his watch. "But he's just gone for five minutes. You might still make it if you call
him right now."
Irene could not help feeling disappointed just then. "Is he going to the office?"
In that case, it was no big deal. She just had to wait at home.
However, Pierre replied, "No, ma'am. Mr. Jefferson is leaving on a business trip."
Irene whipped out her phone, tapping Isaac's number even as she asked," Did he mention how long he'd be gone?"
"I'm not sure. He never said," Pierre replied.
Irene frowned.
Her call soon got through, but was not answered.
Just as she was going to try again, however, Tommy suddenly dashed out of the door and hugged her legs.
"Mommy! Welcome back."
Irene arched her back and picked him up. He was much heavier now, which was a sign that life had been good.
She pinched his button nose, asking, "Did you miss me?"
He wrapped his arms tightly around her neck. "Yes, Mommy."
He was clinging to her like a baby, as if he were younger than his younger brother.
"Okay, let's go check on your baby brother now," she said, and carried Tommy into the castle.
Pierre was left speechless. Had she just forgotten about Isaac?
Dropping for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was obvious that Irene had completely forgotten about Isaac, which she certainly did after seeing her children.
She was just days away, but Baby could speak now-even if it were just a couple of syllables.
Still, it was delightful for Irene, and she had him in her arms as she settled on the couch.
However, the toddler was a lot less clingy compared to Tommy, and preferred to play on his own than let people
carry him around.
Sheryl asked her just then, "Did you forget that you're the mother to two children?"
Irene simply smiled, knowing that it was a harmless remark from her mother.
Still, Sheryl asked, "You didn't tell Isaac you're coming back, did you? He just happened to be going on a business
trip... or perhaps he knew you were coming back, so he left on purpose? Having a fight now, are you?"
Irene quickly shook her head. "No, things are just fine. I would have liked to surprise him, but he left by coincidence/
Sheryl was speechless, and told her sternly, "You're an adult now. How could you be so careless? Call him already."
"Alright," Irene replied, and whipped out her phone again to call Isaac.
