In the evening, Susan went to pick up Chessie and Luca. Then, the three of them held hands and headed home together.
"Mom, my teacher praised my drawing today. She even said I'll be the next Picasso," Chesney said triumphantly.
Before Susan could say anything, Lucas chimed in. "Your teacher said so because she thinks your drawing is impossible to understand."
"Do you know what art is, you brat?" Chesney snarled. Baring her teeth and brandishing her arms in anger, she went up to Lucas in an attempt to rough him up.
Lucas hastily ran away, and the two of them had a chasing game.
"Hey, slow down, you two!" Susan shouted several times, but neither of them listened to her. They were running faster and further away from her. Left with no other option, she could only trot to catch up to them.
Both kids were having a whale of a time, and they soon arrived at their house.
Seeing that they were not going to stop anytime soon, Susan could only shout helplessly, "Don’t get too crazy! We're going to have dinner soon."
The moment Susan finished speaking, Rivera came up to her and said reverently," Miss, we’ve received an important letter."
'An important letter?’
Susan opened the envelope with shining eyes.
Inside the envelope was a wedding invitation.
"My brother and Anna are getting married soon." Susan flipped the invitation open as a hint of joy flashed across her eyes. "It's been two years. I guess it’s about time they tied the knot."
"Are we going to attend the wedding, miss?" The two of them looked expectantly at Susan.
They had both been born in Skyking City and they had left their hometown to protect Susan. If possible, they wanted to go back, even if it was only for a few days.
“Of course we're attending the wedding.” As if Susan could read their minds, she smiled and said, “There is still a week left before the wedding. Let's get ready and go back three days in advance." "Roger." Both Rivera and Bruce were happy to hear that they would be going back.
Looking at the invitation put Susan in a good mood as well. Even though her marriage had not turned out to be good, she wished her brother and Anna could form a happy family together.
Susan figured that she would not be coming back after she returned to Skyking City.
She had not heard the name of that man in two years. The pain and bitterness in her heart, which had been so heavy in the past, had gradually ebbed away.
Susan could not tell whether she had forgotten about the pain or the pain had settled down and become a wound in the deepest part of her heart.
Be that as it may, her home was there and she had to confront that place eventually. Besides, Chesney and Lucas had reached the right age to attend primary school.
She had run away two years ago, so it was about time she confronted her weakness.
She had been unable to make up her mind in the past, but the invitation helped her make a decision.
'It's time to go back. Leave your weakness behind, and confront what you should've faced years ago,’ Susan told herself inwardly.
It had been two years. She had kept in touch with her family, and Luna had come to visit her from time to time. Thus, she had not felt too distant from them.
In these two years, everybody had been trying their best to avoid any topic regarding Julian, and it went without saying that Susan would not bring such a topic up herself either.
Therefore, she had no idea what had become of Julian after two years.
However, since he had been willing to abandon his children for Willa, she reckoned that they should be very much in love right now.
