He ordered two bodyguards to guard the entrance of the district and report back to him about the children. Of course, this is also to protect the safety of the two little children. If he lose the children, wouldn't that kill him? On the back, he was no longer in the mood to drive, so he lazily sat at the backseat reminiscing about the moments he spent with his children while a bodyguard took over behind the wheel.
Claire quickly brought the children home and locked the doors. Her aunt, who was napping, woke up when she heard the door beiing slammed. When she came out of her bedroom, she saw Claire looking out the window, with a worried and scared expression. She became nervous as she asked her niece, "What are you looking at? Is somethinng wrong?"
"Grandaunt, Mummy is peeping at Daddy's car!" Frank said while grinning.
"Daddy? What Daddy?" She asked curiously.
"It's our Daddy's car. He just sent us home." Emma's face is covered with tears as she replied.
Frank lightly knocked his little sister's forehead, "Don't speak nonsense. Mummy is not secretly peeping at him. She's just thinking about him."
When Claire saw the cars leaving, she calmed down. When she turned around, she saw her aunt looking at her with a worried face.
"Have you found the children's father?" Sophia asked in surprise and delight.
Claire fell on the sofa as if she had used up all her strength. Her eyes filled with helplessness, "Aunt, is there anything to eat? The children and I have yet to eat." In front of hher children, she didn't want to comment on this matter. Even if she hated him, he is still the children's father.
Sophia understood her thoughts and quickly turned to the kitchen to heat up the food. Not long later, bowls of egg noodles are served.
Claire brought along the children to wash their hands and ate their lunch.
After eating, Claire asked his son, "Little Frank, can you and your little sister go to the bedroom to play?" She wanted to send the children away from the room so she could comfortably speak with her aunt.
However, Emma thought otherwise, "Mummy, I want to watch cartoons."
Claire had no choice but to switch on the TV in the living room.
After, Sophia pulled Claire to her room, and softly closed the door, "What happened? You don't look alright..."
"Aunt, that man is ggoing to snatch the children away." Claire's tears started rolling down her face as soon as she uttered those words.
"What?!" Sophia was shocked that she raised her voice. She immediately lowered her voice and asked, "Is he really the twins' father?"
Claire wiped her tears as she sobbed, "He compared his DNA with the children's. He is indeed the children's father."
"How could he brazenly steal the children just because they have the same DNA? You are the one who brought up the children. You can't give up the children to him, you know? Don't give them to him." Sophia is also a mother, so she knows the fear of losing a child.
"Aunt, that man is very rich. I'm afraid that when we fight, I won't win." Claire became even more desperate and helpless.
"How rich can he be? No matter how rich he is, he should still be reasonable. Unless, he will marry you!"
"He won't marry me." Claire also never thought of marrying that arrogant and disrespectful man.
"He's... Married? If he is, you can't marry him."
Claire shook her head, "He isn't married yet..."
"Then if he isn't, and you aren't, for the sake of your children, you should consider..."
Claire bit her lips, and shook her head. "No. I won't marry him, and he won't marry me either. Aunt, do you know who he is?"
"Who is he?"
"Dempsey Wilson."
"What?! Dempsey Wilson?" Sophia's face is full of shock. "The invincible tycoon who's always been suspected of being the richest man in the country?"
On her way to the villa, Claire looked up Dempsey Wilson in the Internet, it is said that no one is able to calculate how much properties he owned. Everyone could only assume that his wealth might be able to surpass the world's wealthiest person, but his name never once appeared in the list for public viewing, so no one dared to ever look down on him.
"Oh my god! Emma and Frank are really his children?" Sophia is flabbergasted that she was unable to recover from it for a little while. Those two beautiful and adorable little treasures outside this room door... No wonder their genes are so good. No wonder their IQ is high, so it turned out to be like that. They inherited their father's good genes.
"Aunt, do you know my difficulties now? He wants to take my children." When Claire thought about this, her heart ached.
Sophia reached out her hand and patted her shoulder to console her, "I'm worried for you, but I don't know how to comfort you. But if the twins are really his children, Dempsey Wilson might really take them away. He is rich; he wouldn't let his cchildren suffer even the slightest bit."
"I won't let him take them. I'd rather have my children lead a normal life." Claire became even sadder. As a parent, she felt that she owed them. No matter if it was in terms of presence or material things, she is afraid that she couldn't give them the best.
Sophia sympathise her. The two of tthem hugged each other as tears silently flowed down their cheeks. They didn't know what to do next.
After a long silence, Claire wiped her face and said softly, "Aunt, I'm going to see a friend tonight. Please help me look after the children."
Sophia gently replied, "If you have sommething on, just go. I'll help you look after the children."
After playing for the entire day, Frank climbed onto the small bed and nestled in his grandaunt's embrace to sleep. The children went to sleep with their grandaunt.
Claire left round five in the afternoon. She went to the agreed restaurant. She is meeting her long-time friend Bryant. It is a very classy western restaurant, with its luxurious furnishings and bright crystal chandeliers. Claire had never stepped into such place before, and was slightly surprised.
She remembered that although Bryant's family had money, they weren't that rich that they could casually spend tens of thousands for a single meal. Why would Bryant magnanimously behave like a rich heir all of a sudden?
Claire is lead to the seat that is reserved for them. It is a table near the window, and the sightlines is very good. She could see the city lights. Claire sat down and brought the cup of water to her wet her lips as she patiently wait for her companion.
