Yvan sensed she was trying to change the topic, but he didn't point it out. "Really? I'll ask Harry or Kiara about it tomorrow," he said. Hearing that, Yuna said, "This is a matter between them. Isn't it bad for you to interfere?" "Do you actually think it's bad to interfere, or are you worried I'd do something to Harry after knowing he treated Kiara badly?" Yvan asked. There was annoyance in Yuna's eyes. But she knew that Yvan had always been protective of Kiara. He would definitely hold someone accountable if he knew Kiara was mistreated. It wasn't wrong of him to think that way. Without another word, Yuna got up and left. Yvan showed no intention of chasing after her. Instead, he called Michael and asked him to find out what happened between Kiara and Harry. After returning to her room, Yuna sat on the bed. She could finally relax. She wanted to video call her children. But it was still Cedric who answered the call. "Natalie and Nathaniel are preparing for their
When Cedric grabbed his phone, Natalie immediately covered her tummy. "Ow, my tummy hurts, Uncle Cedric." That drew Cedric's attention. "Natalie, where exactly does it hurt?" Nathaniel rushed him. "Uncle Cedric, you should call a doctor. Nat hasn't been adjusting to the environment well these days. I didn't tell you because we were okay when we came last time." Cedric frowned. "How could you not tell me if one of you feels sick?" After that, he called Spencer on his phone. He asked Spencer to send over a doctor who'd be tight-lipped about treating Natalie. Because of that, Cedric forgot to call Yuna. Nathaniel seized the opportunity to commence with the plan. The next day, Yvan was upset when he heard the news from Michael. "They called a doctor? Do you know who got sick? Is it Natalie or Nathaniel?" Michale said, "Looks like it's Natalie. They found a doctor who's more tight-lipped about his patients. Even Mr. Spencer left his work behind and went to the market to get
Yuna immediately hung up. She hit the gas and went straight to Birchwood Heights. The journey to Birchwood Heights would normally take half an hour, but she arrived ten minutes earlier. Worrying about Natalie being sick, she dashed into the house to find nobody blocking her way. "Ms. Feron, you're here." Hesta welcomed her happily. "Where are my children?" "Don't worry, they're upstairs. Natalie is unwell, so Dr. Storm is performing a check-up on her." After Hesta finished, Yuna left her coat and bag on the floor and quickly walked upstairs. As expected, she saw Michael and two bodyguards standing in the hallway on the third floor. She stormed into the room. Natalie was lying on the bed with Nathaniel sitting by her side. Lucian was examining Natalie while Yvan was standing on the right side of the bed. The moment she saw the twins, she immediately concealed her anger. She didn't want to have an argument with Yvan in front of them. "Hi, Mommy." Natalie greeted her f
On the other hand, Yuna and Yvan went into the study on the second floor. When the door was closed, Yuna turned around and stood in front of Yvan. Although she looked resolute, her eyes were filled with anger. "Why did you bring them here? They don't even know who you are!" Narrowing his eyes, Yvan exuded a dangerous air as he spoke with an icy tone, "Are you sure they don't know who I am?" Yuna fired, "Of course they don't!" Yvan bent down slightly to meet her eyes. "Natalie called me Daddy the moment she saw me." Hearing that, Yuna held her breath and became tense. At the same time, she was thinking hard. She had never told Natalie and Nathaniel about Yvan, yet they knew Yvan was their father. Because … Peering at Yvan's face, Yuna bit her lip. She couldn't say a word. Because Nathaniel looked too similar to Yvan. Knowing how smart they were, they would've been able to tell. She thought she hid everything well, but she managed to hide nothing at all. "You ask a
A look of bitterness swept across Yvan's face. Yuna's words had enraged him. "Do you think you can deny my relationship with them so easily? If you want to bring them away somewhere I can't find, do you think you can hide forever?" As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms. "I'm their father. Under the law, I'm their guardian as well." "They only need me as their guardian!" "Don't try to fight me, Yuna. You're in Jefton State now." Yvan said calmly. But to Yuna, it was a lethal warning. Because of that, she had to send the kids abroad so desperately the last time. They would only be safe out of this country. Yvan wouldn't have the chance to get near them. But it was different now. Yuna glared at him with resentment. "Are you going to fight me?" Yvan remained composed. "You and the children will stay here." "Impossible!" "Okay, you can take them away today. I'll release the news tomorrow, then. I'll make it clear that they're mine. What do you think will happen th
Yuna ruffled her hair. Nathaniel could tell she wasn't happy after talking with that man. So, he asked, "Mommy, did he make you angry?" Hearing his tone, Yuna was certain the twins knew who Yvan was. "No." Yuna sat on the bed cross-legged. She put on a firm expression as she spoke to her children. "Natalie, Nathaniel, Mommy have something to tell you two." "Are you going to tell us that Daddy isn't dead yet, and that man is our daddy?" Nathaniel asked, not wanting Yuna to worry about how to reveal the truth to them."Mommy, you don't have to explain it to us. Nat and I knew already." That was what Yuna wanted to say. But she decided to skip it for now. "Mommy just wants to tell you things are different this time. For safety reasons, we'd have to live with your daddy temporarily. "He knows how to keep you both protected and make sure no one finds out who you are. Mommy will also be able to work without any worries. "But, the decision is in my hands. If you don't want
Yvan frowned a little. Although he didn't answer Lucian, he knew that too well. Half an hour later, he brought Yuna and the children to Lakewood Estates. Even though he didn't have much time, Yvan still made sure to set up a play corner and a room for the twins. The house was originally decorated in a formal, rigid style. The toys being displayed around the house created a stark contrast with the atmosphere there. But Yuna could tell that Yvan put his heart into decorating the house. He wanted to win the children's hearts. Instead of feeling happy, Yuna felt anxious. She was afraid that Yvan would try to use tactics like this to take her twins from her.Looking away, Yuna didn't bother to look at the children's space anymore. But Yvan asked the twins, "Do you like it? If you don't, Daddy will switch out everything." Natalie obviously liked it, but she had to hide her joy because Nathaniel told her to. Nathaniel acted like an adult and said coolly, "We'll like it as long
Natalie walked up to her and leaned onto her shoulder. She pleaded, "Mommy, we just didn't want to be away from you. We've been missing you so much. That's why we asked Uncle Cedric to bring us here." It was hard for Yuna to imagine that Cedric would bring them here for that reason. Nathaniel explained further, "Uncle Cedric is also worried that if Mommy stays in Jefton State for too long, you won't ever come back. That's why we came." That was barely a good excuse, either. She'd still have to ask Cedric for the whole story. Natalie rubbed her face against Yuna's. "Mommy, are you mad?" Yuna decided to give the kids a good lesson this time. Crossing her arms, she put on a serious look. "Do you think I shouldn't be mad at you two?" Both of them shook their heads. They even stood up straight in front of her. Seeing their reaction, Yuna couldn't bring herself to be upset at them. But she wanted them to know how serious this was, so she continued to put on an act. "It's my
