“They’re your children?” Mona curled her lips and laughed coldly. “Victor Cornwell, do you think you’ve done what a biological father should do?”Victor frowned and looked at Mona in confusion. “What do you mean? Are you angry at me because of this?”“I told you, if you really think of Bobby and Millie as your own children, you should bring them home now and introduce them to your mother and everyone else as your children. Don’t come to me with your fake hypocrisy and acting.”Victor gripped his hair in annoyance.“Don’t lose your temper with me, Suzy. What do you want me to do?”“You don’t need to do anything. Just don’t appear in my life again.”A trace of panic flashed across Victor’s face. His attitude immediately became firm.“What do you mean ‘don’t appear in your life again’? How can I let you go just like that when I finally got you back after so long? Come, I’ll take you home now. We’ll talk about the children.”“How long are you going to lie to me?! Stop bugging me!”

Thaddeus rushed to the preschool and was stopped by the gatekeeper outside.“What are you doing? This is a preschool. You can’t just park your car casually. Hurry up and move out of the way. Don’t block the road.”Thaddeus got out of the car and said politely, “I’m here to pick up my children. I’ll only park here for a few minutes and leave.”The guard looked at Thaddeus but was not intimidated by the latter’s 190cm frame and strong aura.“Class is still in session. If you want to pick up your children, you need to register and ask for leave from the teacher. What class are your children in? I’ll call the teacher and ask her to come out and talk to you.”Thaddeus said, “I don’t know. Please help me check. Their names are Bobby and Millie.”The guard immediately became alert. “You don’t even know what class your children are in, and you dare to say that you’re here to pick them up? It’s clear that Bobby and Millie are just nicknames. I bet you can’t even tell me their full names.”

Mona rushed to the hospital as soon as she got the news.Victor was in the ER, and Eleanor was so anxious she could not stop crying. She sat in a chair in the hallway, unable to even stand up.Thaddeus was the only one who remained calm at the scene.Mona quickly walked out of the elevator, looked at the two people, and asked Thaddeus, “Where are Bobby and Millie?”“They’re at Victor’s house. They don’t know anything, so they weren’t affected.”That was a relief. She glanced at the red sign of the emergency room.“How’s Victor?”Thaddeus’ eyes rested on Mona’s face and caught a touch of worry in her expression. “His life isn’t in danger. Don’t worry.”Mona sighed in relief and recalled their unpleasant conversation in the morning. She thought that Victor would give up after she exposed his lies, but she did not expect him to go so far.Why did he take the children back to his home and tell Eleanor that they were his?Mona’s head was a mess. She looked at the distraught Eleano

Thaddeus was surprised as Mona had never once caved in to him since the divorce. There was no way he would refuse her sudden request. “Okay. What do you want me to do?” “I don’t know, but something just doesn’t sit right with me. I’m getting a lot of precarious people and information around me, and after that stunt Victor pulled today, my concern is that it will affect the kids.” “Move to my place. You live in an area without property management or neighborhood watch. You don’t know your neighbors, and most of the tenants are not locals. It’s better for you to move to a place with the guarantee of safety and privacy.” Mona raised her brow. It was strange that the man appeared to be well-versed in her neighborhood. Nevertheless, she did not read too much into it as Thaddeus’ suggestion got her thinking. Moving to his place was out of the question. Since they were divorced, they were separate entities without any relation. She could ask him for help, but that did not mean sh

Bobby sat upright with his back facing Mona but leaned his ear toward his mother. He was all ears. He was a sensitive boy, so he knew that Mommy was about to say the opposite of what he had hoped. “Bobby, we’re moving to the city, somewhere with good schools. At least, we won’t have to worry about Millie’s schooling and yours. As for me and Victor, it’s not working out. I went and did a DNA test on you guys, and he’s not your father…” “So, Uncle Victor has been lying. He’s a liar.” Bobby handled the truth with serenity. He turned around to face Mona and patted her head in a bid to offer comfort. He sighed and said, “Silly girl, you have been cheated on again.” Scrunching her nose, Mona refuted, “I wasn’t cheated. I never accepted him as your father in the first place. My conscience has always been clear.” Bobby shook his head. “Mommy, I can’t take my eyes off you for one second. Be honest with me. Are we moving because of Uncle Victor? He won’t leave you alone, so we’re going s
