Chapter 162: Who Gets to Keep The Kids
It was as though she was finally freed from the shackles of her past.
The feeling of being liberated was so overwhelming that her whole body was trembling.
I''m finally free.
She would no longer allow herself to harbor the faint hope of reuniting with Kane and find excuses for
him every time he hurt her, telling herself that he did those things for a good reason.
Who am I kidding? I was my own prisoner, but I no longer am.
I''m going to have a new life after this.
While Amora sat on that chair, tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Clutching her chest, she wanted to cry her heart out.
But as she took a deep breath, she realized that her aching heart did not allow her to do so.
She felt as though her heart had been pierced through with a dagger.
Amora remained at the Ronin residence the whole afternoon.
Since Kane had indicated that he would have the divorce papers sent over, she wanted to be there
when the documents arrived.
But hours had passed, and there was still no sign of Kane.
After a while, Amora grew drowsy from getting too worked up earlier on and fell asleep in the house.
When Matteo andn came over for their mother, they saw a sleeping Amora.
They then scuttled to their grandfather.
"Grandpa, is Mommy sleeping?"
Chris was looking intently at a booklet in his hand when a child''s voice broke his daze.
He quickly put down the booklet and replied, "Yeah, she''s asleep.What are you guys doing here? I
thought you were spending time with your uncle?"
"We did.But we''ve got to go back now,’ said Matteo smilingly after checking the time on his smartwatch.
It''s about time to pick Vivian up from her preschool, or the crybaby will surely kick up a fuss if we''re
late.
After hearing that Matteo intended to go home, a hint of hesitation crept up the old man''s face as he
looked at his grandson and asked tentatively, "Well, I was thinking...maybe you could sleep here
tonight and spend some time with me?"
"Huh?"
Chris''s unexpected suggestion startled the boys.
Matteo, on the other hand, was instantly filled with reluctance.
He was not used to sleeping in a strange ce without his parents.
"But Mommy said that we need to go back home so that we won''t bete for our preschool
tomorrow.Grandpa, why don''t wee back to visit you on the weekend?"
Matteo had cleverly turned his rejection into a visit in his sweetest voice possible.
However, Matteo''s suggestion only made the old man''s heart grow heavier.

Unbeknownst to the boys, the booklet their grandfather was holding onto was the Ronin family''s
household register.
Chris was just thinking about the custody of Matteo as they barged into his room.
Matteo is a Ronin, so it is without question that he will have to return to the Ronin family.
Moments before Matteo walked in, Chris had tried to put himself in Amora''s shoes while considering
who should get custody of the child.
After all, the Ronin family owed her that much.
Nevertheless, the moment he saw the boys walk in together, he was reminded of what a sweet and
cheerful little person Matteo waspared to his frail twin brother.
The old man now had second thoughts about letting him go.
"Oh, that won''t be a problem.I can take you guys to school, and I promise that I won''t bete.What do
you think?"
Chris was insistent.
"Huh?"
"Alright, let''s get the butler to show you to your room.I''ve re-decorated the room, and I think you''ll like
it.’’ Without waiting for a reply, Chris beckoned his butler over and instructed him to bring the boys to
their room.
"You "
Chris was once again stumped by his elder grandson.
Sensing the rising tension in the room, Matteo was quick to defuse the situation.
"Don''t be upset, Grandpa.It takes time withn.Let me talk to him."
With that, Matteo pulled his brother out of the room before Chris could stop them.
After they reached a deserted courtyard a few minutester, Matteo asked his brother, n, you did
that on purpose just now, didn''t you?"
"Hmm,n admitted while lowering his head in embarrassment, the back of his ears turning pink.With a
big grin on his face, Matteo patted his brother''s shoulder to indicate a job well done.He then attempted
to analyze the situation.
"Something must have happened between Daddy and Mommy.Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn''t be acting
this way."
"Hmm."n frowned in agreement.
"We can''t both stay here.We''ve got to find out what''s going on between the two of them.Didn''t you see
what Grandpa was trying to do just now? He was trying to keep me here Me!"
Matteo''s voice turned solemn when he continued, "If Grandpa is really nning to fight with Mommy
over me, things will definitely turn ugly.He''s way more powerful than Daddy, and there''s not much we
can do to help Mommy in this matter."
