Chapter 1671


    "Mommy, I''m so hungry," Helena nodded, her little hands patting her round tummy. "Mommy, Julian is hungry too," Julian tipped his head back to look up at Hertha.


    "Well, let''s get some dinner," Hertha''s face lit up with a mother''s gentle smile as she turned, leading the two children by the hand.


    As soon as she walked in, she saw a tall, fit figure with a strikingly handsome face and sharp, fox-like eyes staring back at her in shock and confusion, fixated on her and the two children she was holding.


    Hertha''s eyes widened, her breath hitched, and her heart started pounding wildly, her grip on Julian and Helena''s hands unintentionally tightening. Oh my goodness, what was she seeing? ric had walked in, ric had actually walked in!


    Completely unprepared, she saw rice in, and he had seen her two children too!


    ric moved closer to her, his expression growing more solemn, and Hertha''s heartbeat raced even faster.


    His figure gradually filled her vision, like the skying down upon her, pressing her downpletely.


    Hertha stared at ric, forgetting to breathe.


    When ric reached her, those beautiful fox-like eyes nced down at the two children before looking back at Hertha, asking seriously, "What did they just call you?"


    Hertha, already dazed, was further taken aback by ric''s question. Her wide eyes stared at ric''s questioning gaze, blinking guiltily, but she dared not answer.


    Because she couldn''t.


    "Uncle, why are you being so mean to my mommy? You''re not pretty when you''re mean," Helena said, looking up at ric with her little head tilted back, her plump lips pouting in grievance.


    Mommy was hers to protect, and she didn''t want anyone bullying her.


    "Don''t be mean to my mommy!" Julian clenched his little fists, waving them in the air in front of his chest, his tender brows furrowed into a little knot, looking fiercely adorable.


    ric could hear the children''s references to Hertha loud and clear, his heart stirring with a storm of emotions!


    His usually cheeky gaze was now filled with anger and resentment as he stared at Hertha, "Are they yours? Biologically?"


    He recognized the children, having


    seen them once in the hospital and


    another time near Hertha''s


    apartment. He had thought they were Emmeline''s, assuming Spencer was marrying a single mother.


    It turned out, these children weren''t someone else''s; they were Hertha''s!


    No wonder Kimberly had been speaking so oddly to him earlier, mentioning his concerns about Hertha''s two children!


    It wasn''t a misbelief that Thssa''s children were Hertha''s, but that Hertha actually had two children!


    ric''s expression was serious, a mix of shock and difficulty in epting the situation, his narrow eyes gradually reddening.


    Hertha, intimidated by ric''s stance, stepped back slightly, her grip on the children''s hands sweating.From N?velDrama.Org.


    ric stepped forward, pressing in, his eyes reddened with inquiry, "Speak up, are they or are they not biologically yours?"


    "Bad uncle,


    our housegu''re not wee in


    don''t bully my mommy!"


    Julian broke free from Hertha''s grasp, running up to ric, his little face turning red with urgency, pushing against ric''s leg with all his might.


    Seeing this, Kimberly hurried over, picking Julian up, nervously addressing ric, "ric, you just said you wouldn''t mind that Hertha you has two children. Why the sudden change of attitude?" Content

    ric''s sharp gaze turned to Kimberly, instantly realizing, during their earlier conversation, he had overthought it.


    She had been talking about Hertha''s biological children all along, not Thssa''s!


    It was he who had ced too much hope on Hertha!
