Chapter 222


    She’d given it some thought. Unless the biological mother of the kids returned, she would freak out no


    matter which woman Emmett brought back. Now ra’s anxious expression didn’t seem to be a


    pretense. As long as one asionally reminded her, she should also treat the children well.


    “Gran?” Alex nudged her cautiously and whispered, “Could you stop giving mom a hard time? She


    really loves us!”


    Sophia got a jolt in her heart and pulled Alex into her arms.


    “Alright! Gran promises, as long as ra doesn’tsh out or bully you guys, I won’t give her a hard time


    anymore, okay?”


    Alex nodded and broke into a smile, “That’s awesome! I gotta tell Aiden this ASAP!”


    Sophia was a bit puzzled by this “Are you and your Aiden up to something?”


    “No! What could we possibly be nning? Gran, I have no idea what you’re talking about, Alex, though


    not particrly gifted in other areas, was an expert at ying dumb


    Sophia could only let out a sigh of resignation. The suspicion against ra had stirred up a mess at


    home. She was actually exhausted! She’d wanted to put some pressure on ra, but then her sons


    and grandsons all turned against her. Maybe she was the problem. “Good boy, let’s pray together that


    Aiden’s okay”


    “Don’t worry, Gran, once you stop giving mom a hard time, Aiden will recover soon!” Aiden had


    deliberately hurt himself, but Alex swallowed the rest of his words. Gran couldn’t know about this


    After a while, the doctor came out


    Seeing the anxious family gathered at the door, he smiled, “Don’t worry, the and bandaged it up”


    fine! Just a minor injury. I’ve already cleaned the wound


    “But I just saw my son unconscious ra grabbed the doctor’s arm, “Is that not a problem?”


    The doctor paused and replied, “I think the boy either has a bit of fainting spell from the sight of blood,


    or he might be faking it to avoid homework! We’ve done a thorough check and found no issues. You


    can rest assured”


    Hearing the doctors words, ra finally breathed a sigh of relief


    Sophia came over, puzzled, “Aiden has never hated homework, so he wouldn’t fake it to get out of that,


    but I don’t remember Aiden ever fainting at the sight of blood” He’d been injured around her before, but


    rd never seen him faint


    “It might be some problem that recently developed.” ra reassured Sophia. ‘Don’t worry, the doctor


    said he’s fine, so he must be.” Sophia nodded, shot ra a nce, and stayed silent


    Emmett nced at them both, sensing his mother’s concession This oue was not too bad! It


    seemed there was a silver lining to his son’s injury after all


    At the hotel, Leah had prepared some delicacies. The table wasden with Elio’s favorite food and his


    beloved red wine.

    “Elio, your trip back home really wasn’t easy, and since ra couldnt apany you, how about I join


    you for a drink? Would you


    mind?”
