Mrs. Grant looked at her son, listening to his words. She knew her son was defending Raina Lowell and deliberately speaking this way. She was furious, her face stern as she scolded: "You’ve truly lost your mind, still speaking up for her. If those two children were yours, why don’t they carry your last name?" Elias Sheridan helped explain: "Auntie, Aurora and Evelyn really are Adrian’s children. I personally conducted the paternity test." If it weren’t for seeing the results in black and white. They wouldn’t have dared to believe it. Even now, he still hasn’t come to terms with it, unable to believe that the children they once despised and refused to help were actually Adrian’s. Mrs. Grant looked towards him. "Are you also here to trick me? Do you think I’m a fool who would believe your nonsense?" Elias Sheridan felt quite helpless. "How could we possibly deceive you on something ? It’s because we know Aurora is Adrian’s child. Adrian spent the entire night at Aurora’s grave, and the head injury was self-inflicted." He still felt it was like a dream. He wished desperately that when he awoke, everything would be perfect again. Aurora would still be alive, and Adrian and Raina would not have divorced. They would have been such a happy family of four. Yet, things turned out contrary to their wishes. If Adrian wants Evelyn back, he likely has a high price to pay. Mrs. Grant looked at her son, still in disbelief, "Raina’s child is really yours?" If the children were of The Grant Family, why did Raina not say so earlier, and why did she watch as the elder passed away? This must be a ruse by the young people to prevent her from pestering Raina. She shouldn’t easily believe them. Adrian Grant leaned against the bedhead, his whole demeanor dispirited as if his soul had been drained. His voice sounded powerless and pale as he spoke. "Mom, Aurora and Evelyn are my kids. If it weren’t for knowing they were mine, why would I be suffering so much?" Recalling Raina’s coldness towards him just moments before, his heart ached with continual pangs. He wondered how he could prevent Raina from leaving with Evelyn. How he could get Raina and Evelyn to return to his side. Evelyn was his only child, and he absolutely couldn’t let them leave him. "I don’t believe it. If Raina’s child is yours, why haven’t you said anything before? You’ve known all along how much your grandfather wanted you to have a child." Mrs. Grant was thunderstruck, unable to accept the truth for a moment. Elias Sheridan showed patience, explaining to her: "Even Adrian himself wasn’t clear about who he had encountered back then, and Raina Lowell also didn’t know the father was Adrian. Naturally, they wouldn’t have said anything." "But if you truly don’t believe us, you can have a new test done with them. Just please don’t hold any prejudice against Raina and the child. Evelyn is, after all, the only bloodline of The Grant Family. If you want them to return, it might be difficult." Mrs. Grant was dazed. She looked at her son and Elias Sheridan’s earnest and serious demeanor and concluded they weren’t lying to her. Still feeling suspicious, she asked her son: "Didn’t you know whom you were involved with back then?" Adrian Grant lowered his head, holding back tears. Choking for a long while, he finally answered: "I was drunk at that time. The room was very dark, and I didn’t know it was Raina. When I woke up, Isabelle Everett was beside me, so I assumed it was her I had been with." Mrs. Grant was suddenly enlightened, "You thought you were with Isabelle, that’s why you presented her to your grandfather to annul the engagement?" If he had woken up and Raina hadn’t left and remained by his side. He definitely would have taken responsibility for Raina. And they wouldn’t have been separated for three years, and she wouldn’t have borne his child, suffered so much, returned to them only to be wronged and humiliated. Adrian Grant felt deeply remorseful. With what face could he ask for Raina and the child’s forgiveness? But they were his children. How could he bear to let them leave? "What a sin this is." Realizing that what his son and Elias Sheridan said was true. They had wronged Raina and the children. Mrs. Grant sat back down on the chair, feeling ashamed for having insulted Raina and her son earlier. The white, tender, smart, and adorable child was actually of her own blood. The Grant Family finally had an heir. She was finally a grandmother. Mrs. Grant was ecstatic, joyful, yet fearing Raina wouldn’t bring the child back to The Grant Family. She quickly turned to her son and said: "Adrian, since Evelyn is your child, you must remarry Raina, and bring Evelyn back to the Grant Family to recognize their heritage, understand?" Adrian Grant closed his eyes, too exhausted to respond to his mother. He had long wanted Raina and the child back in The Grant Family. But given Raina and the child’s current attitude towards him, it was as if he were a hated enemy. He had no idea how to earn Raina and the child’s forgiveness and acceptance. Elias Sheridan consoled the elder, "Auntie, rest assured, Adrian wishes to bring Evelyn back to The Grant Family even more than you do. Just give him some time!" Mrs. Grant had to agree. Realizing Evelyn was of The Grant Family, she felt it necessary to see Raina in person again and apologize to her directly. As an elder, it was a duty of hers. After instructing her son to rest well, Mrs. Grant turned and left the room. On their way back to the Everett Family home, Raina Lowell confessed Evelyn’s true parentage to Alaric Jennings. "Weren’t you curious why Adrian Grant wouldn’t let go of Evelyn? It’s because Evelyn is his child." Alaric Jennings was stunned, staring at Raina in shock. "Adrian Grant is Evelyn’s biological father?" "I actually only found out recently, but I didn’t expect Adrian Grant to know too. We need to leave quickly, or it might be too late." Adrian Grant can be ruthless, and she wouldn’t stand a chance against him. If it came to a fight over the child, she wouldn’t be his match at all. "Alright. I’ll make arrangements as soon as possible." Alaric Jennings was still a bit stunned, unable to believe that Evelyn was actually Adrian Grant’s child. Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 He had always been wary of Adrian Grant’s presence. After all, as Raina’s ex-husband, he’d never really felt secure with Adrian around. Afraid that Raina might rekindle old feelings for him. And now Evelyn was his child too. This only intensified the sense of crisis in his heart. Beside them, the overlooked Evelyn sat with a frown, displeased as she asked: "Mom, what are you talking about? How could I be the child of that big bad guy? I don’t want him as my dad." Raina Lowell, driving, glanced at her son through the rearview mirror, comforting him: "This is the truth, but we won’t be with him, don’t worry!" "I hate him. If it weren’t for him, my sister wouldn’t have left us. Even if he’s my dad, I don’t want him." Evelyn’s stance was clear, and she turned to grab Alaric Jennings’ hand. "Uncle Jennings, you need to leave quickly. I never want to see that big bad guy again." Alaric Jennings pulled her into his arms. "Alright, we will leave very soon." The three of them returned to the Everett family home. Mrs. Everett was still at the hospital and hadn’t returned, while Mr. Everett accompanied her. But Ethan Everett had come back. Not only had he returned, but he had also visited the detention center to see Isabelle Everett one last time. In the end, Isabelle lay on the operating table and told him personally that she was pregnant with his son, but she lost the child because Raina Lowell ordered people to drug her food, causing her miscarriage. Ethan didn’t believe it. He rushed back to ask his sister in person. Seeing the three of them return, Ethan rose to greet them, trying hard to suppress the grief over losing his son, indicating for Alaric Jennings: "Alaric, take Evelyn upstairs. I have something to discuss with Raina." Alaric Jennings noticed something was off about Ethan, his eyes red and alarming. He was a bit uneasy, "What do you want to discuss with her?" Actually, Raina Lowell had a clue. Ethan must have visited the detention center again. She motioned for Alaric Jennings to take the child upstairs, then went to sit in the living room. Ethan followed her, his voice cold, "What did you do to Isabelle?" Hearing such an accusation, Raina Lowell knew she hadn’t made a mistake. Luckily, she discovered Isabelle’s pregnancy and acted swiftly, immediately arranging for someone to take care of the child in her womb. Otherwise, once Ethan found out, he would surely bail her out to give birth. Back then, he would morally police her, saying the child was pitiful and couldn’t be without a mother, and then plead for her to withdraw the lawsuit against Isabelle. Such a thing, don’t even think about it. "I warned you before, that if you visited Isabelle again, I wouldn’t let it go." Raina Lowell took the upper hand and eyed Ethan coldly, showing an unfeeling demeanor. "It seems you really don’t need me as a sister." "I need you as my sister, but why do you have to be so cruel?" Ethan raised his voice, losing his temper. "You knew very well that Isabelle was pregnant with my child, yet you went all out, directly having someone drug her, causing her to lose the child." "Raina, you’re a mother too, how could you bring yourself to do it?" When he saw Isabelle, she was lying on the operating table, covered in blood. She kept holding onto him, crying and begging to save their child. But the child was already gone. It was his and Isabelle’s child, gone just like that. Ethan felt as if his heart was being sliced open, unable to bear such painful blows. "Why wouldn’t I be able to do it?" Raina Lowell stabilized her emotions and coldly told him, one word at a time: "Four years ago, Isabelle drugged me, leading to Adrian Grant abusing me, forcing me to leave my homeland." "Four years later, Isabelle knew Aurora was Adrian Grant’s child. Not only did she kidnap her, but also put me and Aurora in danger, and I barely made it back alive." "But my Aurora can never come back." Her eyes fixed fiercely on Ethan, "If she can ruthlessly harm my child, why should her child be spared?" In just a few sentences, Ethan was left speechless. He couldn’t deny that sometimes Isabelle was indeed a bit heartless. She even persuaded him to act against Raina. But the child in her belly was innocent. Facing Raina’s gaze, Ethan’s eyes welled up with tears. "But that was my child, your nephew." Raina Lowell laughed. "Are you sure it was your child? Before she hit the headlines, she was having plenty of fun in nightclubs, and later I saw her getting cozy with another man in the suburbs." "Ethan, don’t be naive. Isabelle just wanted to use that child to get you to save her, but she miscalculated."
