Chapter 19; Daddy, you are back?

He couldn't even hear water splashing from inside the bathroom, signifying they weren't there. He checked the other bedrooms, and it was the same. The entire place was too quiet like they hadn't gone over there for the entire day. The bed hadn't been touched. The books and everything were where they had been left since yesterday.

He rushed over to his Master bedroom, thinking maybe they were resting there, but no, the bed was neatly made, and even the couch hadn't been sat on.

He suddenly thought of the home theater room they had earlier on gone to and a sudden thought rushed through his mind! What if she poisoned herself and the kids while he was away and stayed hidden in that room?

He had notified all the shadow guards to retreat and stop watching over them. He was giving her a last chance to redeem herself, and if she dared to do something to hurt herself and the kids, he would completely lock her up.

With that in mind, he rushed through the hallway over to the elevator and rode it up to the fifth floor; the moment the doors slid open, he rushed through the corridor over to the entrance door, roughly opening it.

It was pitch dark, the television was shut, and the lights were off; he stretched his hand to switch the lights on but suddenly heard some snores echoing from the middle of the home theater room.

He withdrew his hand, and using his phone spotlight, he walked over to the front side of the room, he was surprised to see all of them there on the couch sleeping so comfortably.

They had even covered themselves with blankets and the room had a heater turned on. He relaxed calming down. It was normal to be tense after the several incidents that had occurred with Tang Fei.

He didn't know who he should get hold of first, but decided to pick Tang Fei up first; Tang Fei, who had been sound asleep, suddenly snapped her eyes open to attack but, luckily, through that spotlight, caught sight of that face. She reflexively relaxed and decided to act shocked to mask her earlier reaction.

Huo Ting Cheng also noticed but thought otherwise maybe she was afraid of him. He didn't think much about it.

"Daddy, you are back?" Huo Zhihao also woke up hearing his mother stirring up. They don't know for how long they have been sleeping but it seemed like they have been like that for several hours now. You could see all kinds of lines around their faces and how red their eyes were.

"Yeah! It's time for dinner!" He straightened his back gazing at all the three kids and their mother waking up. They seem to have had a good nap.

"Mommy, we rooted so many dungeons, and I collected so many treasurers; you promised if we managed to achieve level one, you could do anything for us, right?" Huo Zhihao doesn't want to sleep before they talk about this. What if he forgot? How could their promise be fulfilled?

"Can't we eat first?" She slightly felt embarrassed that Sixth Master Huo would blame her for teaching kids how to play such dangerous games instead of studying or doing something else. She was a first-time mom; you couldn't blame her for being on tenterhooks.

Sixth Master Huo wondered what they could have promised each other, but he could only stay out of it.

The guards, who were also searching for Sixth Master Huo, walked through the entrance door of the home theater room, switched the lights on, and could see the five people conversing.

"Aaah! That, let's eat first!" She winked at him, and Huo Zhihao immediately understood, nodding his head.

"Sixth Master Huo, Tang Fei's parents are at the main entrance gate seeking an audience!" He got closer and reported it to them.
