As Paul spoke, his eyes drifted to the babies nestled beside Rebecca.

“Becky… I mean, Rebecca, can I take a picture of the babies?” Paul asked cautiously.

Rebecca was stunned for a moment before she quickly nodded. “Yes, of course.”

She instinctively moved aside to make room.

Paul hurried over, exchanging a glance with Rebecca before taking out his phone and carefully snapping a photo of both babies.

After taking the picture, he looked at the adorable kids, smiling ears to ears. He was about to share it with the family group chat when he suddenly thought about something and quickly turned to Rebecca. “Rebecca, do you mind if I post this in the family group chat? I’d love for everyone to see your kids.

“We’ve been searching for you for over twenty years. Everyone is eager to hear about you,” Paul said nervously.

”

“Yes, that’s fine,” Rebecca said, noticing his nervousness, excitement, and joy. Her own heart was pounding hard, feeling complex and joyful.

It turned out she had a family.

She had a mom and dad, brothers, and uncle, who all missed her terribly. They’d been searching for her for the past twenty years. She wasn’t abandoned.

With Rebecca’s consent, Paul excitedly shared the photos in the family group chat.

The moment he hit send, the chat blew up.

[What’s this?]

[Where did these babies come from?]

[Paul, did you have babies behind our back?]

[Oh my, so cute! Whose babies are this? Tell me!]

[It’s Rebecca’s babies, twins, a boy and a girl, just born. Aren’t they adorable?] Paul sent the message after sharing the photos, proudly showing off!

[Everyone, get your gifts ready! For the babies and for Rebecca. Don’t miss a single one! I’m telling you, the gifts must be something big and special. The more, the better!] Paul continued threatening everyone in the group chat.

Debra broke into a smile with tears.

Patrick turned his head away, quietly wiping his own tears.

The three brothers also smiled.

Paul stood up and introduced with a smug smile, “Becky, this is your

om, Debra. She’s the one who’s missed you most these past twenty years. She cried so much because she couldn’t find you that it even messed with her eyes…”

“Paul!” Debra interrupted anxiously, her voice urgent. “Don’t tell Becky these things.”

Becky was the nickname the Carter family had given Rebecca. They hoped she would always be happy, but fate had a joke with her, making her life the most difficult.

Paul immediately stopped and turned to Rebecca, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Anyway, your mom loves you very much.”

Rebecca’s eyes welled up with tears. She turned her head, looking for a tissue to wipe them away.

A tissue appeared in front of her. Rebecca looked up to find a handsome young man offering it with a kind smile.

“Th–thank you,” she stammered, carefully taking the tissue.

“Becky, this is your big brother, Adrian Carter. He studied law and now runs his own law firm. You come to him if you ever have any legal trouble. He’ll help you out!” Paul said with a cheerful smile.

‘Big brother? A lawyer?”

Opening his own law firm at such a young age was pretty impressive.

Rebecca looked at her big brother, unable to hide her admiration.

Adrian’s expression softened as he noticed his sister’s admiring gaze. “Hi Becky,” he said warmly, “I’m Adrian. Anything you need, I’m here for you.”

Hearing Adrian’s words, a young man in hip–hop clothes standing nearby hurriedly chimed in, “Yeah, and I’m your third brother, Charlie Carter. I work in the entertainment industry. So, you know, if you ever want to break into showbiz, just hit me up. I got your back…”

“Shut up!” Three voices chimed in at once, shutting Charlie down.

Charlie turned to everyone, feeling wronged. “Come on, guys! This is my first time meeting our sister. You all get to support her, but I can’t?”

“We all know what kind of man you are!” Debra rolled her eyes, feeling speechless.

“Chuck, if you don’t want to take over the family business and insist on messing around in the entertainment industry, that’s your choice, but don’t take Becky with you!” Patrick quickly scolded as well.

Saying that, he turned to Rebecca, smiling, “Becky, don’t be like your brothers. They all refused to take over the family business and insisted on starting their own ventures. They’re driving me crazy. Luckily, I still have you, my good girl. Now that you’re back, all of the family’s assets will be left to you. Those boys won’t get a single cent, humph!”
