Chapter 434


    Mary could see Victoria and two kids–a girl and a boy at her sides. Both of them looked


    very simr, and clearly, they were twins. Earlier, she was beyond shocked when


    Terrance called her, “Kids? Are they ric’s children?”


    “Yes, Mrs. Cadogan.”


    “What? Victoria has kids with ric? How old are they?”


    After Terrance told her that the children were already five years old, and a pair of twins


    at that, she almost cried tears of joy. In the past, ric appeared uninterested in


    anyone, and Victoria didn’t want to be in contact with them anymore. So, she reckoned


    that she wouldn’t have the chance to be a grandmother because ric would never


    find himself another partner and she needed a lot of time to take this all in.


    Finally, she convinced herself that it was not a big deal not to have grandchildren. Her


    son was still alive, and she shouldn’t worry whether he would ever have children of his


    own. Since ric wasn’t bothered by this, all the less reason for her to be. Yet, she


    didn’t expect a surprise toe knocking on her door so quickly. While she was still


    distressed that she didn’t have any grandchildren, she suddenly ended up with two.


    Although they were still quite a distance away, she could clearly see that the children


    had delicate, sculptured features and were especially attention–catching while they


    walked on the streets. More importantly, those little faces looked especially simr to


    ric’s.


    Before she came, the servant at home overheard her phone call and couldn’t help but


    ask before she left the house, “Mrs. Cadogan, Miss Selwyn has already left for five


    years, right? How could she have Mr. ric’s children? Could this be a trap? Are the


    children really to Mr. ric’s?”


    Although Mary hadn’t met the children yet, her face darkened when she heard the


    servant disparaging Victoria like that. “You’re paid to do your job here, not gossip,” she


    scoffed.


    The servant jumped from her sudden outburst and curled into herself. “I’m sorry, Mrs.


    Cadogan. I shouldn’t have shot my mouth off, but… I’m just saying this because I’m


    worried that Mr. ric is getting scammed. I don’t mean anything by it.”


    “Do you think you’re smarter than ric? Don’t you think he’d know if he’s scammed?


    You’re in no position to question this.” The servant fell silent, not daring to say another


    word. “If I hear anything like this again, all of you will be fired!”


    She had no doubts because she believed in ric’s judgment. Furthermore, Victoria


    had saved her family, and she thought that even if the children were not ric’s, they


    had mistreated her so dreadfully in the past that they should help her to raise her


    children as a way of repaying her.


    Nevertheless, there wasn’t a shard of suspicion in her heart when she saw the tiny


    faces that resembled ric. They are definitely ric’s children. Who else could their


    father be when they looked so much like him?


    She was so delighted that she felt her heart racing as they got closer. I’m going to be a


    grandmother! In the past, she was envious when she saw others boasting about their


    grandchildren, and it was finally her turn now. Her stic friends within the wealthy


    ss would always show off their grandchildren in front of her and even asked her


    questions about ric. Such as, why didn’t he have children after being married for so


    long? Was Victoria unfit to have babies? Sometimes, they’d rmended doctors


    from abroad and suggested she bring Victoria for treatment.


    Although Mary had retorted sarcastically at that time, she was still fuming after


    returning home when she recalled their gleeful, arrogant faces. Regardless, she had


    never rushed ric and Victoria, who were still married to each other, because she


    respected their decisions and thought that elders shouldn’t interfere in their children’s


    rtionships.


    When she was young, getting pregnant with ric was far from nned. Initially, she


    wanted to spend more time alone with her husband. Besides, Griselda didn’t pressure


    them, either. Hence, she lived a loving, blissful life with Adrian until she identally got


    pregnant one day.


    Since that was her own experience, she didn’t intend to rush Victoria and ric. Yet,


    they got a divorce and Victoria even left the country. After that, more people unted

    their grandchildren in front of her, but she couldn’t be bothered to snap back at them


    and merely smiled in reply. Nheless, she canceled the coboration with the two


    her house that very same night to plead with her. They admitted that it was their fault


    and begged the Cadogan Family to let them off the hook.


    For a few years after that, all was peaceful, and she didn’t carry any hope for


    grandchildren. But now… They’re close, she thought in excitement as she watched


    them getting closer and couldn’t help but crouch down.


    Victoria already caught sight of Mary and Adrian from a distance. It had been years


    since shest saw Mary, but she barely changed, still looking as beautiful as she always


    did. She even shed them a bright smile from afar. Then, she crouched down in front


    of her children and opened her arms wide.


    “Kids, they’re your grandparents,” Victoria said softly.


    She already spoke about this with the kids on the ne earlier, so they greeted Mary


    and Adrian after she pointed them out.


    “How are you, Grandpa and Grandma?”


    As the kids were still unfamiliar with them, they appeared a little wary when they looked


    at them. Mary didn’t take it to heart and even had tears in her eyes when the kids


    addressed her as ‘Grandma‘.

    “I’m fine, children,” shè answered and pulled them into her arms in excitement.

    Adrian was calmer inparison to Mary’s enthusiasm, but when he saw the scene


    while standing next to her, he couldn’t hide his excitement anymore and slowly


    crouched down in front of the children.


    Meanwhile, Victoria watched as the elders turned into curious babies in front of the


    children, bombarding them with various questions.


    “What’s your name? How old are you? Are you going to school? What is your favorite


    food and…”

    They asked all sorts of questions about their daily lives until Victoria interjected, “Let’s…


    get up, okay? Aren’t you tired after crouching down for so long?”


    After she said that, only then did Mary and Adrian realize what they were doing, but


    they mentioned nothing about themselves and said instead, “Yes, you’re probably tired


    after such a long flight. Let’s go home quickly and get the chef to prepare some


    delicious food for you before you take a nice, hot bath and rest.”


    “Okay.” Just when Victoria wanted to hold the children’s hands, Adrian and Mary each


    picked up a child and walked away. She stared at them in utter bewilderment as she


    thought, Okay, looks like they’re friendlier than I’m expecting.


    She was reassured to see that the Cadogan couple adored the children. After all, she


    Chapter 434 Grow Apart


    had left for so many years and thought that they would be distant.


    “Miss Selwyn,e on. Let’s go.”


    She snapped back to her senses when she heard Terrance’s voice and nodded. “Okay.”


    Then, they all left together.
