"Golly, I didn't expect to meet here too... out of all places... I think fate is playing with us." Anna saw her mother's playful grin after she said that. She wonders what kind of connection does her mother have with Zen's father.
"Mom, you know general Zack?" Aaron asks his mother. Mary just nodded to her son in response.
Hearing the word 'mom' coming from Aaron's mouth and referring to Mary, Zack was in shock. "They're your twins?!" He exclaimed.
Eleven years ago he knew that Mary has her own family but he never saw her children. Looking closely at Anna and Aaron he saw some of their similarities to Mary. Their eyes, that deep dark eyes that can make you drown into it.
"Yes. Jealous?" Mary said in a teasing way.
Zack's mouth twitched in annoyance. Mary sure does know how to tease him. Back then, he remembers saying to Mary that he wanted to have twin children in his life, but unfortunately for him, he only has one but then again he is still happy having Zen as his son. "No. I am not."
Zen narrowed his eyes between his father and Anna's mother. He has a suspicion about their connection with each other. Does both of them have a deep connection in the past? If so, this situation should be awkward right?
Zack looked at his son's expression and could already guess what he's thinking which doesn't really please him. If his son is wondering about their connection with each other it's definitely not a romantic type of connection. It's more like a master and slave relationship between them and he's the slave.
Mary also saw Zen's expression and said, "Kid, it's not like that don't worry." Mary only saw Zack's son when it was still a baby and she could already tell that Zen is that child. The way he looks right now is similar to Zack but the atmosphere that surrounds his is not similar to Zack's. He's more like a happy go lucky of person, unlike his father, who's more like a very authoritative type of person.
Hearing that Zen's suspicion faded. For a moment he thought that if they have a deep relationship in the past it would really make things complicated between his mother and his father and their family is going to shatter. If Zack knows what's running in his son's head he literary knock some senses in his head, what he's thinking right now is utter nonsense. Zack himself loves his wife dearly and cheating on his wife is not something he could never do.
The scene that unfolded in front of Anna is something that she did not expect. She knew that her mother is a very influential person and know a lot of powerful people, but it never crossed her mind that her mother would have a past with the one and only general Zack. She then suddenly realized that there is a lot of things that she did not know about her mother and Aaron also think the same.
Noticing that her mother is not scolding her she felt relax for a moment, she really got to say her thanks to general Zack. Thanks to him her mother has forgotten to scold her. Also deep down she knew that her mother would really scold her big time for her recklessness.
Mary who came to check on her daughter and son and scold Anna at the same suddenly engrossed herself in reminiscing the past with Zack. She also met Nathalia and Josh who's parents are also Mary's old friends in the past like Zack. Nathalia asked Mary how she knew her parents, but Mary didn't tell her and only told her that she should ask her parent for that information.
After the long hours of talking Zack is now going to send the kids home. "I'll see you in school," Nathalia said and bid goodbye to Anna. Anna was reluctant to let Nathalia go because she wants them to continue their talk and wants to avoid her mother's scolding for a while. But all this wishing is not going to happen, though crying in the inside she has to accept it.
When they Nathalia and the others are gone the only ones left in the room is Aaron, her mother and herself. The room was so quiet and it was deafening in the ears, Aaron who doesn't like the atmosphere broke the silence and said, "How long is Anna gonna stay here?"
"For at least two days..." Mary's voice was cold as ice. He voice really made the twins feels scared at their mother. Truth to be told, Mary doesn't really gonna scold her twins her voice is only like that because of what had happened to them. The person who kidnapped her twins made her angry to the point that she wants to kill to release some stress. She already heard all the details from her twins' friends and only wonder who has the guts to kidnapped the Coleman family's precious gems.
Without any hints, Mary went outside the room and called someone. "Leo, have you heard about what happened to your daughter today?" She asked.
"Yes, and I'm already on it. They're gonna regret messing with us." A cold and vicious voice was heard on the phone.
Mary smile in satisfactory in Leo's response, this guys has never disappointed her in any important case and always ready in everything she asks. "Good. I'll wait for the good result, but don't make me wait for too long I don't have that kind of patience." She said and ended the call.
Mary is going to make them regret their actions against her.
