Chapter 168


    Back then, she just thought her son was too heartbroken and worried he wouldn’t find a wife and have


    kids of his own in his lifetime.


    So, for the sake of the Melendez family’s hundred–year legacy, she pushed her son to agree to


    surrogacy.


    But now, out of the blue, ra shows up!


    Now, both kids are in the hands of a stepmom, how could she not worry?


    “I noticed both kids get along super well with Ms Calloway! Saw them having a st the other day!


    Don’t know why, but I think they look kinda simr!”


    “But no matter what, she’s still a stepmom!” Sophia furrowed her brows in worry. “A stepmom will never


    be like a real mom! Right now, she’s just putting on a show because she’s in the Melendez family and


    I’m here, but the more over the top she acts, the more I worry it’s all an act!”


    1 don’t think Ms. Calloway is that type of person!”


    “What do you know? Some people seem harmless, but who knows what they’re plotting?” Sophia


    sighed, “Anyway, I feel so sorry for my two grandsons! Such good kids having to live under the care of


    a stepmom, I think it’s all my fault!”


    The driverforted her, “Ma’am, you might be too pessimistic! Maybe things aren’t as bad as you


    think! I’ve had a few interactions with Ms. Calloway and she’s not arrogant at all! She’s very nice to us


    staff, even more so to the kids”


    Sophia said, “Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore! I’m old and how much longer I’ll live is


    unknown! Now, all I can do is protect the kids for as long as I’m alive! As for the rest, I can’t control it, I


    can only remind Emmett to be careful! Especially the kids, they’re still small”

    The car pulled up at the pastry shop, Sophia got down and just as she was about to open the door, she


    saw a woman about to leave with a bunch of pastries.


    The shopkeeper saw Sophia and hurriedly said, “Oh dear, ma’am, you’re a step toote, thatdy


    bought all the pastries!


    Upon hearing this, Sophia quickly turned around to stop the woman who was about to leave.


    “Um… excuse me, ma’am, I wonder if you could sell me a few pastries? My grandsons love them! I’m


    willing to pay three times the price, would that be okay?”


    The woman hesitated, “No need, since your grandsons love them, I can give you a few more! These


    are just for me to enjoy.”


    “No, I must pay you! I’m already very grateful that you’re willing to let me buy


    “These pastries aren’t that expensive, I don’t need the extra!” Thedy pushed the money back, “If


    these pastries can bring joy to a child, they’ve done their job! I think if my children were with me, they’d


    love these pastries too.”


    Sophia asked, “Oh? Your children aren’t with you?”


    “Yes!” Thedy shook her hand, “Let’s not talk about that! You take these back, don’t let the kids wait, I


    have to go now.”


    Sophia stopped her and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you, could you tell me your name? So if we


    meet again, I can repay your kindness.”


    “Me? I’m. Leah Calloway”
