"Yes." Justin stepped back immediately.
Christine watched Justin's departing figure from afar, frowning slightly.
Suddenly, "Mommy..."
A voice called out, and Christine was hugged by someone.
Coming to her senses, Christine turned around to see her daughter, who was hugging her, and smiled, "You scared mommy..."
Marie hooked her arm around Christine and walked toward the villa together, her innocent and cheerful face brimming with smiles, "Daddy's back, didn't see you, he's looking for you!"
"Oh."
"Mommy, see how worried Daddy is about you..."
"I know..."
Christine opened the door, and was immediately drawn into a powerful embrace.
"Where did you go?"
At the door, Skyler held Christine, asking domineeringly yet with gentleness.
Christine wanted to wrap her arms around him, "Just went out for a bit."
Skyler tenderly kissed Christine's beautiful forehead, his voice hoarse but gentle, "Next time, tell the family before you leave, so I won't be unaware of your whereabouts."
