Chapter 4 Adults Can’t Tell Lies
Diana threw herself into Jennifer’s arms in fear. “Mommy, are you okay? Are you injured?”
“Don’t worry.” Jennifer wiped Diana’s tears away at once. Although she was flustered, she still smiled and said, “I’m fine.”
Ivan glanced at the two children and the woman suspiciously, frowning.
His angry eyes made Jennifer’s heart tighten suddenly!
Diana stared at Ivan with tearful eyes, “Daddy, you are so mean! I don’t want you anymore! You beat Mommy! You are a bad guy! ” She wasn’t intimidated by Ivan’s aura at all.
Jennifer felt bad, “Stop calling him daddy! He is not!”
“You can’t change the fact!” Alfie didn’t want to just give up, “A paternity test would explain everything. Would you dare?”
Jennifer was speechless and frantic. “Alfie!”
“Mommy, you’ve been taking everything on your shoulder for the past seven years. For the next seven years, it’s his turn!” Alfie had a clear mind. He must make Ivan take them in.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Ivan’s tense face eased a little. He pursed his lips slightly. A touch of complexity flashed in his deep eyes.
Time seemed to have frozen.
“Family instructions of the Brooks family, article 3, children don’t lie! It goes the same for adults!” Alfie looked up and asked, “Mommy, is he our daddy or not?”
The defense line that Jennifer had built in her heart collapsed at this moment. Facing Ivan’s complex and icy gaze, Jennifer froze, as if something inside was silently shattering.
She didn’t know how to answer her son.
Ivan furrowed his gracefully shaped brow and looked at the two delicate children in front of him. At this moment, he understood everything.
Finnley took a closer look at the kids and found their eyes almost looked identical to Ivan’s! He was stunned!
Gosh!
As Ivan’s special assistant, he knew nothing about such a big event.
Jennifer looked up at the sky and closed her eyes helplessly, hoping it was a dream!!
Alfie hugged her thighs tightly, afraid that she would get angry.
“Mommy, we are sorry, but we miss daddy too much.” Alfie said emotionally, “He never showed up in kindergarten during activities that require parents to join. Kids all made fun of us, saying that we were born from the stones.”
Diana was a little sad. With tears in her eyes, she felt herself in a predicament. Ivan was so violent! He hit Jennifer. Diana wasn’t sure if she wanted such a daddy.
Alfie pulled on Diana’s little skirt, “Diana, don’t you want daddy? Speak.”
Diana thought about it, turned and hugged Jennifer’s other thigh, and rubbed her face against it with tears in her eyes. Seeing Diana’s pitiful look, Jennifer couldn’t get angry. Instead, she blamed herself for not being able to give the children a complete family.
Ivan recalled the rainy night seven years ago. Did she get pregnant? Why didn’t she tell him? It was such a big thing!
Finnley whispered, “Mr. Marsh…”
Ivan looked toward the bamboo house, not forgetting the reason for entering the village. Who stole the Blue Sky Plan?
He subdued all emotions and stared at Jennifer, saying in a cold tone, “Who else lives here?”
“Alfie! Who did you hack this time? Your iPad is still on? It’s sending the address! Aren’t you afraid that…” Edward Hart came out of the bamboo house with an iPad. When he saw this scene in the courtyard, he stopped walking! Why were there so many people?
“Daddy, I hacked your system!” Alfie ran to Edward, grabbed the iPad, and ran back, “It has nothing to do with Mommy! Punish me if you want!”
Alfie lifted the iPad high with his little hands. Ivan took it over.
“And me.” Diana, hiding behind Alfie, glared weakly at the condescending man, “It was me and Alfie who hacked your computer…”
Jennifer took a deep breath, feeling a headache.
Ivan’s eyes deepened. He didn’t believe that the two children had done it.
“Daddy, I deleted the document after stealing it! I didn’t do anything to it. I swear!” Alfie glared at Ivan sincerely, “I just want to see you! I want to let you know the existence of my sister and me!”
