Weston withdrew his hand and looked at the boy beside him âCan you say goodnight to me?â
Elias, being a boy, didnât express his emotions as freely as Emma.
He scratched his cheek shyly and said nothing while holding Stellaâs hand.
Weston did not force him either. He rubbed his head and said, âRest well tonight.â
Elias nodded.
He seemed to be at least not averse to Weston. Elias would have hidden behind Stella and not even looked at him if it were an ordinary stranger.
When they got home, Stella could not help but comment. âIs this the power of blood ties?â
Miguel pulled a long face in silence and glanced at the two children. âHow ungrateful.â
He harrumphed. âHe just played with you guys for a while, and you already like him so much. What do you think about me, who has been taking care of you for so long?â
Stella could not help but roll her eyes as well. âWell, I gave birth to and raised them, and thatâs how they treat me.â
Elias and Emma sniffed, and both stood up, each hugging one of Stellaâs legs and leaning on her body. âSorry Mommy,
we know we were wrongâ¦â
In fact, they did nothing wrong. They just liked a handsome man and liked to play with him.
Stella rubbed their heads and sighed.
After putting them to bed, she walked out of their bedroom and closed the door.
Miguel looked at her. âWhatâs your plan now?â
She pretended not to comprehend his question. âI donât know what you are talking about.â

you going to let them recognize him?â
She was equally confused. âI have not thought about itâ¦â
They were her children. No matter if they recognized Weston or not, they would always be her children.
There was no doubt about it.
However, was it really good for them to grow up in an environment without a father?
She was hesitant.
She knew that she would be able to give them a good upbringing and a high standard of living even wit hout Weston.
However, after having children, one would want to give them better, give them the best.
Even though they were doing well now, she would still reflect on whether there was anything she had no Miguel saw her hesitation instantly and said anxiously, You must not be too lenient! He has only been with them for several hours. Donât forget how much damage he has done to y She put down her glass and stared at him.
((
She did not want to avoid it anymore this time. âWhy do you know so much about our previous affairs? Even if you have done the Her question was clear enough.
Miguel knew she must have noticed something.
However, he refused to face it and lowered his head. â Havenât I explained it clearly enough in the begin âRoger, do I have to make it sound hard?â
Stella suddenly spoke.
Miguel instantly stared at her in disbelief, his pupils constricted, unable to speak for a long time.
âI donât know what youâre talking aboutâ¦â
âRoger, I donât know why youâre doing this to me either. You know very well that I hate deception the mo
