Four years later.
At the international airport of A City, a flight arriving from Los Angeles landed on time.
A large number of passengers walked out of the exit lane of the airport. They had different skin colors and spoke different languages.
Out of the countless people that would step out of the airport, there were always certain people that would captivate everyone's attention.
Among the crowd of unique passengers, there was a woman with an exquisite slender figure and porcelain skin. She exuded an elegant and mature essence about her. Everything about her was enchanting, especially her eyes. They were bright and had a calming effect.
She was like a pearl, dazzling and refined. She held two little children in her arms, a boy and a girl. Such an ensemble made people captivated. None of them could look away from her.
The two kids were about three years old, but they were already as beautiful as their mother.
The little boy was led by the woman obediently as he looked around with his cool little face, while the little girl was smiling, her eyes full of curiosity about everything.
"Mommy, I want to..." the little girl said in English. Her eyes blinked, and her face looked exactly like the woman holding her hand.
"No, no, no." The woman bent down, waved her fingers at the little girl and gently said, "Elissa, you have to speak Chinese whenever you come home. Remember?"
"Okay..." The little girl pouted.
"She is so stupid." The little boy smirked, the corners of his mouth slightly upward, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak. "She can't speak Chinese."
"Mommy, he is bullying me!" The little girl crossed her arms, and looked at the little boy with dissatisfaction.
"All right." The woman smiled, and looked at them dotingly. "You two have to love each other. Elissa, your brother won't bully you. Right, Alick?"
"Yes." The little boy nodded with conviction.
"Okay," said the woman. "Let's hurry to the place where we live. Mommy is tired after such a long flight."
Hearing their mother, the two children went out of the airport with their mother.
"Whew..." The woman took a deep breath as soon as she stepped out of the airport.
Four years later, when she finally returned to this place, she had mixed feelings.
The woman shouted in her head, 'Mary, you're finally home!'
"Miss Lu."
As soon as the three of them came out of the airport, a bodyguard came forward, bowed to Mary and said, "Mr. Gu asked me to escort you to the house."
Before Mary could answer, her phone rang in her pocket.
"Hello?" Mary answered.
"How do you feel? Have you arrived?" A pleasant male voice came from the other end of the line.
"Yes, I just arrived. You called me right on time." Mary smiled.
"Of course." He was always calculating the time.
"Is that Daddy Barry?" At this moment, the little boy opened his mouth. His eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Mary expectantly.
"Yes." Mary nodded.
"It's not Daddy Lucas..." The little girl was slightly disappointed. "I want to talk to Daddy Barry!" the little boy said immediately.
"Me too!" The little girl reached out her hands in excitement.
"I heard the two kids' voice," said the man on the other end of the phone. "Do they want to talk to me?"
"Yes." Mary chuckled and handed the phone to the two kids.
"Daddy Barry!"
"Daddy Barry!"
The two kids grabbed the phone and kept calling their Daddy Barry.
"Alick, Elissa, how are you feeling? Are you tired?"
"No!" The little boy shook his head firmly.
"I miss Daddy..."
"I miss you too, but I won't be able to see you for a few more days!"
"When are you coming?"
"I'm not sure yet, but it won't take long."
"Then let's wait for Daddy with Mommy."
"Well, you should listen to Mommy!" the man said gently.
Mary folded her arms. The three of them were really talking endlessly.
"Okay, okay!" Mary grabbed the phone and said, "Barry, it's quite early in the morning in America! Why don't you go back to bed? Why are you even talking with them?"
Then she pointed at the two kids and said, "And you two, don't you feel tired after sitting in the plane for so long? I'm so tired. We need to go back and get over the jet lag, okay?"
"Ha ha..." Barry chuckled, "You're sounding more and more like a housekeeper."
Mary rolled her eyes in silence.
"Mommy is so scary," the little girl whispered to her brother.
"Yes." The little boy nodded in agreement.
Then Mary stared at the two kids. She said, "Alick, Elissa! Both of you, get in the car!"
"Alright already!" The little girl made a face and followed her brother into the car in protest.
"You haven't gotten in the car yet?" Barry asked.
"Yes." Mary smiled.
"Then get in the car and have a good rest." "I know, thank you." Mary went into the car and motioned the driver to start the car. "I'm in the car now, I'll be dropping the call."
"Wait!" Barry said in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Mary raised her eyebrows.
