Chapter 697 Everyone Is Here

Sure enough, when Miya turns around, she sees Joey immediately.

Joey walks over to her in a skipping manner. And Andre and Ben stand beside her.

They are the kids that she thinks about all day long. Now she finally sees them as she wishes. Miya
burst into tears immediately.

At this time, Joey has already walked to Miya’s side. She opens her arms and made a gesture to hug
Miya.

Of course, Miya does not hesitate to stretch out her hands and hold Joey in her hands.

Joey has already noticed Miya’s moist eyes. “Mom, why are you crying? Did someone bully you? My
brother will teach them a lesson.”

Ben, who comes over together with Joey and stands at the side, says unwillingly, “Mom, don’t worry. I
will protect you. Is Dad bullying you?”

As he speaking, Ben focuses his blazing gaze on Alex.

Alex suddenly feels as if he lifts a rock only to drop it on his own toes.

Why is his son always saying the wrong thing? It is obviously that he wants them to be lobbyists.

Miya smiles and shakes her head, “Don’t worry, no one can bully your mother.”

“I know it.” Joey buries her head in Miya’s embrace happily.

“How old are you? How could you still lie in mom’s arms? Aren’t you ashamed? Also, do you know how
heavy you are? You shall lose some weight!” Ben has already noticed that Miya is preoccupied by
some troubles. It looks like that mom really has a lot of worries right now. But no matter what happens,



he will not let his mother suffer. He wants to make his mother happy and let her forget all the unhappy
things. Therefore, he says that to Joey deliberately.

When Joey hears that, she arches her nose unhappily, “Ben, I’m not fat at all. I’m still a child. Can’t I
stick to my mother?”

Ben rolls his eyes and says to Miya in a meaningful tone, “Mom, you don’t have to bother yourself
arguing with the likes of Joey. She’s still rather childish.”

He sounds like he is an adult now.

He is just a little man.

Seeing the children getting along so happily, Miya feels all her troubles have flown away. She doesn’t
want to think about too much. All she wants now is to get along with her children well. As for Alex, who
is still standing by the side with the roses in his hand, she just let him run his own course.

“Mom, Granny may have finished cooking. Let’s go and enjoy the meal.” When Andre sees his parents,
he feels happy naturally and says with a smile on his face.

“Granny?” Miya hasn’t reacted for a while when she knows that Carmen is also there.

Miya doesn’t have time to be so surprised and she follows the children downstairs to the kitchen. Alex
follows behind.

Just as they go downstairs, the smell of meal comes to their noses.

When Miya walks to the kitchen, she sees Carmen in an apron serving food.

When Carmen finds Miya, she is not surprised at all. On the contrary, there is a big smile on her face.
“What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and come over to eat.”



Miya is pulled to the seat by Joey and sat down. However, she couldn’t help but ask, “Grandma, do you
already know that I will come here?”

“If you don’t hurry, the dishes will get cold.” Carmen does not answer her question. Instead, she
instructs with a serious expression.

“That’s right, Mom. The dishes cooked by Granny are very delicious.” Joey says and smiles. Then she
picks up her chopsticks and puts the food into the bowl in front of Miya.

“I...” Miya wants to continue speaking, but is interrupted by Carmen.

“Save it after this if you have something to say.” Carmen is already giving orders. Miya can only pick up
her chopsticks and enjoy the meal.

Looking at the children eating with relish, she is gratified. She doesn’t know how long it has been since
she has seen the children. Now she sees that they are well, she is relieved.

Therefore, she also feels that this meal is especially delicious, not because of the food, but because of
the people around her. She will be pleased as long as the children are happy.

Only after the meal finishes, does Miya realize that Alex has disappeared. She looks back and feels
strange. As far as she knows, how can he not rush over to her side? Can it be that he gives her up so
quickly and goes back first?

For some reason, when she thinks of this, there is an indescribable sense of disappointment in her
heart. She is really a contradiction.

Alex leaves and stops pestering her. Isn’t that what she wants?



“Mom, did Joey upset you again?” Since Joey finishes her meal, she has seen her mother in a sullen
mood. That is why she comes over.

Andre and Ben also walk over to Miya’s side at the same time.

“It must be Dad who has upset Mom.” Ben crosses his arms around his chest and says angrily.

“Then let’s think of a way to play tricks on Dad.” Ben thinks of another good idea, so he takes the
initiative to propose.

Joey is the happiest to hear that. She applauds immediately and jumps, “Alright! Let’s go and play
tricks on Dad.”

“But I don’t think that is a good idea.” Andre concludes reluctantly, after giving it some thought.

But this time, Joey completely agrees with Ben.

“Andre, I feel that you prefer father now. You have been with Dad for a long time. You don’t want him to
suffer…”

Andre waves his hand hurriedly and says, “No. Although sometimes Dad has a more extreme and
dramatic approach to things, he truly loves us.”

“I do not care about that! I can’t let him bully Mom anyway. I wanted to ask Mom to forgive him
originally. But Mom looks so sad. It’s better to leave dad alone.” Joey crosses her arms with a look of
righteousness.

Carmen walks over and taps Joey’s forehead with her hand. “What are you talking about here again?
Could it be that you want your parents to get divorced? If that’s the case, you’ll be orphans. So, it’s
better for your parents to stay together.”



These words really wake Miya, who is in a daze at the side.

“It’s getting late now. You children, hurry up and back to your room to sleep.” Carmen has no choice but
to give orders to these children now.

“No! I want to sleep with mom tonight.” Joey hugs Miya and says.
