Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2980 I met him

Charlene couldn't help but sigh when she saw it.

These two are such a perfect match!

Only then was a certain emotion deep within her quietly stirred and began to stir.

She hesitated for a moment, then couldn't resist turning on her phone.

My finger hovered over the screen for a moment, as if I were going through a small internal struggle.

In the end, I made up my mind and turned off airplane mode.

As soon as the phone regained its communication function, countless message notification sounds rang out in succession, and notifications popped up on the screen one after another.

Besides close friends, there are Jenny and Jessica in the group, and of course, there's also gossip in the group.

However, Charlene had no time to pay attention to any of that.

Her eyes quickly scanned the screen, searching eagerly among the numerous messages.

What concerned her most was news about Tokino.

She took a deep breath, opened the chat interface with Shi Ye, and saw his reply to her previous apology.

"No need to apologize, it's a small matter, I don't mind."

"Let's talk in detail later when I get there."

Is it convenient to go now?

“Where are the people???”

"The nanny made some soup, I'll bring it to you!"

"When we went to your house, your aunt and uncle said you went to your grandparents' house. Why?"

"When are you coming back?"

Is your phone out of battery?

Perhaps because she didn't reply, Shi Ye stopped sending messages.

Much later, he sent another message: "Charlene, when you come back, let's meet and have a good talk!"

Charlene scrolled through the series of messages, and a wave of guilt welled up in her heart for no reason.

For the first time, she felt disgusted with her own personality, which was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand when faced with problems.

Whenever I encounter a problem, my first reaction is always to escape and hide, refusing to face the issue directly.

I'm such a terrible person.

At that time, Tokino-san missed his target, and it's hard to imagine how he felt.

I didn't want to leave him with a bad impression, but every time something happens, it seems like things always get worse by some unforeseen circumstance.

Charlene felt uneasy.

Just as she was feeling down, Xia Lin suddenly remembered what Shi Yang had said before.

Perhaps we should give each other a chance and give each other more trust.

How could those who truly care about themselves laugh at them over something so trivial?

This thought was like a ray of light, shining into her previously gloomy heart.

After much deliberation, Charlene gradually felt enlightened, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

After a moment's hesitation, her fingers twitched slightly, a hint of relief and determination in them.

Finally, she replied to Shi Ye with a simple single word: "Okay!"

After I sent it, I didn't get a reply.

Not long after, Masie and Zhou Si returned.

They were carrying buckets filled with fish, indicating a fairly good haul.

As Marcy walked, she waved to everyone and said with a smile, "We've caught enough, let's pack up and go back."

Charlene nodded and also greeted the children.

One by one, the children excitedly climbed ashore, the fish in the bucket were jumping around, and the harvest was extremely plentiful.

Everyone carried their heavy buckets of water, chatting and laughing as they walked home.

Along the way, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on everyone, making it feel especially warm.

As soon as I entered, my grandparents came out to greet me.

Upon seeing everyone carrying so many fish, he couldn't stop smiling.

Grandma came over, looking at the fish in the bucket and exclaiming, "Wow, so many! We're going to be busy tonight!"

Grandpa and Grandma immediately got to work, preparing to process the fish.

Seeing this, Marcy rolled up her sleeves to help, but her grandmother quickly stopped her.

Grandma held her hand and said lovingly, "Your little hands are so white and tender, but they smell fishy. Don't touch them."

Besides, you're a guest; go sit down and rest for a bit.

Grandpa, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement and insisted that Marcy not do anything.

As for Zhou Si, he stood to the side looking somewhat helpless, his eyes revealing obvious confusion. He was clearly clueless about handling fish and had no idea where to begin.

His grandparents naturally noticed his predicament.

They smiled gently, not forcing him to help, but instead kindly and gently pushed him aside.

"You're a guest too, go and rest with the girls, we'll handle this."

Zhou Si had no choice but to stand beside Ma Xi and watch the two elders pack up.

In stark contrast, the children nearby enthusiastically gathered around and rolled up their sleeves to help.

"Grandma Xia, we're here to help you."

As they spoke, their movements were clean and efficient; scaling, gutting, and cleaning were all done in one go, showing that they were experienced people who often helped with these tasks at home.

Marcy could only exclaim in admiration, "No, you guys are amazing! Not only can you catch fish, but you can also clean them!"

His efficiency was comparable to that of a seasoned fishmonger at the market.

These words made the children beam with pride and joy.

The little guy was therefore even more motivated and quickly helped finish cleaning up.

Dinner was very plentiful, including freshly prepared fish.

Grandpa and Grandma also prepared a variety of meats, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits in advance.

Grandpa even specially roasted a fragrant chicken in advance. The whole chicken had a golden and crispy skin and emitted an enticing aroma.

The long table in the courtyard was piled high with a dazzling array of food.

In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened.

One by one, the lights in the courtyard lit up, their soft glow enveloping the entire space and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The meat was placed on the rack one by one to start grilling, the oil dripping onto the charcoal fire and making a sizzling sound, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma.

While everyone was chatting, they waited for the food to be cooked.

Suddenly, the roar of a car engine came from outside. The sound grew louder as it approached, then stopped abruptly, as if the car had stopped nearby.

A little while later, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard gate, "Hey, looks like we arrived just in time!!!"

Everyone turned around at the sound, only to see Xiao Zhi had already pushed open the courtyard gate, casually resting one hand on the door frame, and smiling at everyone in the courtyard.

Behind him stood Shino and Xiaobai, side by side.

One had a calm expression and a serene gaze, while the other wore a relaxed smile.

Charlene's gaze swept across the sky and met Shino's eyes directly.

At that moment, her heart seemed to skip a beat, and her breath caught in her throat slightly.

Why is he here too?

She never expected to see him again so soon!

She almost instinctively panicked, her body tensing up.

In contrast, Masie and Zhou Si appeared much calmer.

They looked at the three people at the door with a hint of curiosity and were the first to ask, "Why are you here so early? Weren't you supposed to come tomorrow?"
