Crises in Love novel Chapter 470

It seemed that Clara might actually be with Jerome. But weren't they being a bit too brazen? Jerome was a wanted man, and yet he had the audacity to show up at the airport?

No, something didn't add up.

Who was that with Clara just now? I couldn't have mistaken Jerome's silhouette.

Besides, with Hazel's funeral the day after tomorrow, if Jerome dared to show up, he wouldn't miss his mother's funeral. So what was the meaning of them being at the airport at this time?

This was definitely fishy.

Even if Jerome wanted to flee, he would surely wait until after Hazel's funeral.

As I walked towards the arrivals gate, I couldn't shake my suspicions.

What if Jerome did show up at the funeral? With that thought, I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed Ronan to share what I had seen and what I knew.

"Relax," he assured me over the phone, "we've got people at the airport! And we're aware of Hazel's funeral arrangements. You just focus on picking up the kids!"

Feeling a bit more at ease, I replied, "Alright then. I won't keep you, it's about time."

After hanging up, it wasn't long before Hannah came rushing back, shaking her head. "Nope, I saw his face clearly, it's not Jerome!"

"Are you sure?" I was surprised. The resemblance was uncanny, from the way he walked to his build. Could I really have been mistaken?

Just then, the loudspeaker announced that Helga's flight had landed.

I collected myself and, with Hannah in tow, craned my neck to see inside, wondering if Carl had been well-behaved on his first long journey without me. Even with Helga there, I was a bit anxious.

Soon, Helga called to say they were on their way out. Only then did I learn that my mother, worried as ever, had sent Brenda along as well.

It was my first time meeting Brenda, a woman in her forties with a sharp, keen presence. One glance told you she was no ordinary woman.

When Carl saw me, his face broke into a wide grin, and he stretched out his chubby little arms, excitedly calling, "Mommy, give me a hug!"

I scooped him up and planted a big kiss on his cheek, which made him giggle and squirm with delight in my arms, obviously thrilled to be home.
