Chapter 322 Surprise and surprise
Finally, the trio reached their destination. The ride had been smooth, and they arrived quite early. They had boarded the ride late at night, and now it was early morning as they disembarked. The streets were nearly deserted, with few cars on the road. The peaceful atmosphere provided a stark contrast to the chaotic incident they had just experienced. Before that, in the den, the atmosphere could be described as silent, but silence didn't necessarily mean peace.
They stretched their tense bodies, with Kevin yawning as he said, "Finally, I'm going to get some nice rest..."
Keyara and Viana nodded in agreement. Keyara added, "yeah do that, and let's meet tomorrow to discuss some matters."
Kevin nodded, bidding them goodbye. They had decided to postpone the discussion about the ship incident until tomorrow, as they all wanted to get some rest.
So, he headed towards his house, strolling through the familiar streets he used to commute between his shop and home. The surroundings felt comforting and familiar, despite his relatively short time living there.Exxplore uptodate stories at novelhall.com
He couldn't wait to see his mom and sister. He had really missed them during these two months away.
Maria's soft body in his memories urged him to hurry home and embrace every part of it, while thoughts of Riya's lips tempted him to share more passionate moments with her. Recalling Riya, he wondered how her girlfriend and her sister were doing, though their names escaped him momentarily. "What was it? Key and... Natalia... is she still with her?" he pondered. Lost in such thoughts, he arrived at the front of his worn-out house.
"I should buy a new house soon," he muttered under his breath before unlocking the front door. Since it was early morning, he expected everyone to still be asleep. However, to his surprise, he heard the sound of the shower running from the bathroom.
"Kevin..." He heard Maria call his name in a shocked tone. He turned to look at her and saw her standing at the stairs, looking shocked and worried, but then she smiled as tears escaped her eyes, hurrying down.
Kevin smiled back, seeing her coming down hastily. "Slow down, Mom, don't trip over," he said, and he was still in the middle of talking' but she hugged him tightly, making him stop midway. With a smile, he hugged her soft body and said, "I missed you, Mom."
He didn't receive a verbal response from Maria, but her arms wrapped tightly around him, filling him with happiness. Despite expecting to feel aroused after such a long embrace, he found himself simply content. As her tears soaked through his shirt, he gently rubbed her back, attempting to comfort her.

A smile graced her face as she witnessed Maria's embrace, but Kevin didn't want Maria to cry, even though he loved seeing her tear-streaked face, so he continued. "Look, aunt Emma is watching us... stop crying."
"Let her watch... I won't let you go," Maria said, pressing her face into his chest.
Kevin chuckled as he hugged her, gently lifting her face to make her look up at him. Tears streamed down from her aqua blue eyes, tracing paths down her milky white cheeks. Kevin felt a surge of emotion, but he knew it was the right moment. He wiped the tear from her cheek and said, "Who said anything about letting me go? I just said, don't cry..."
Her tearful eyes gazed at his smiling face as she tried to hold back her tears by forcing a smile, nodding before pressing her face against his chest once more. Kevin chuckled, then turned to Emma, who was still watching them with a smile while clutching the towel wrapped around her.
"Do you believe me now?" he asked, making her blush as she nodded. Maria, her emotions somewhat under control now, also turned to Emma, still hugging Kevin.
"What are you talking about?" she inquired, puzzled.
