As it turned out, Izu was just kidding about jumping off the cliff. It was just that, after hours of running, he forgot to mention he was joking.
"Gosh..." Lola muttered, eating a banana under the shade while watching her kids and Baby stand by the cliff, shouting for Haji.
Over the cliff was the ocean, so Haji was fine. They had jumped there before, so she wasn’t worried at all.
"Sis, I thought you wouldn’t make it," Slater said, gaining her attention. "Fortunately, I didn’t bet that you wouldn’t finish."
She deadpanned. "Slater. Please tell me Penny didn’t start again."
"Uhhh." He cleared his throat, making her narrow her eyes. "Yes, she did. That woman is despicable."
But in truth? This time, Slater was the one who started it. That was the advantage of Penny’s sullied reputation.
Lola shook her head and took a deep breath, idling under the shade and enjoying the fresh air. A moment later, Izu approached her and Slater.
"Madam, we’re going back to the manor," he said, rocking his head. "I’ll let the master know that you’re here with the children."
"Mhm." She smiled, though her face twitched as she watched them leave.
After running the entire evening with these guys, she had no energy left to get up. If anything, she just wanted to stay here and rest as long as she could. But those guys still had to run all the way back to where the chopper was waiting to fly them to headquarters.
"Goodness. I know they’re built differently, but they’re on a different caliber," she clicked her tongue, snapping her eyes at Slater when he spoke.
"Not really. I am better than them."
Lola arched a brow, her nose scrunching up in disbelief. Slater had joined them when they returned here, but she still hadn’t seen him do anything aside from taking selfies every chance he got.
"Goodness," she hummed, taking another mouthful of banana.
"Mommy, we’re just going down to check on Uncle Haji~!" Second yelled from where he was, pointing toward the cliff. "Can we go? We’re worried about Uncle Haji~!"
Chacha smiled devilishly. "Mommy, can I jump?"
"No, please." Lola shook her head. "You can check on Uncle Haji, but no jumping."
"Aww, man."
"Chacha."
Chacha’s pout grew rounder at being told no. Even so, she didn’t complain further. Lola then shifted her eyes to Baby and nodded.
"Keep your eyes on them."
Baby said nothing, but he nodded. Having received his cue, he carried the twins in his big arms—letting Second crawl onto his back while Chacha remained in his arms. Like a gigantic robot, Baby took big steps down the alternate path leading to another cliff.
They could jump from there since it was lower and safer.
