Myra paused, then asked with a hint of confusion, "Why are you so eager to send him away? Have you asked for Matthew's opinion?"I shook my head. "No, it's not that. There's been a special situation. Melanie escaped from prison. I'm afraid it might cause trouble for you if she comes looking for the kid."I didn't hide anything from Myra. There was no need to keep this couple in the dark.Myra was astonished, staring at me in disbelief. "What are you saying? She escaped? My goodness, isn't that seeking death for herself? How could she do such a thing?"I sighed and nodded affirmatively. "It's true, it happened last night. Besides, I also considered that we couldn’t keep Charlie here for long. The little boy has his own family."I know you're reluctant, but I'm afraid Melanie is capable of anything, and it might not be good for the child. The child's father, Arton, is Melanie's nemesis. She won't dare act recklessly with him around."I laid out the situation for Myra in detail.My

After some thought, I began, "Mr. Donovan, the reason I came today is to bring your grandson back to your family.”My statement was like a sudden thunderclap, shocking the old man and Annika into stunned silence. Donovan scrutinized me up and down, as if he wanted to see through me, trying to understand my intentions. It was as if he perceived me as a conniving woman using the child to extort them, and he was on high alert."What do you mean? Grandson? Where did this grandson come from?" Annika also wore a face of skepticism, finding it hard to believe what I said.I had to smile again and nod solemnly to assure them that they didn't mishear.Then I said, "Absolutely, without a doubt, he is your grandson. To be precise, he is Arton's son.""What?"Donovan stood up suddenly while looking at me.It was obvious that he now considered me the child's mother.Carol couldn't stand it anymore and spoke sharply to the old man, "Mr. Donovan, please calm down. Chloe is here to discuss

I looked at Georgina and said softly, "This matter is a bit complicated, and I'd like to wait until Arton comes back to explain it together. Would that be acceptable to you?"At that moment, Donovan cursed again, "This troublemaker, who knows what he's been up to out there? I'm telling you, these are the results of your indulgence!"Georgina glanced at her old partner, signaling him with her eyes. "Hold off on conclusions. Let's hear what Arton has to say. We shouldn't just believe the words of an outsider, right?""What outsider? The photos are right here. What other excuses do we need?" Donovan angrily said, "He's been out there for so long, but has he accomplished anything? Look at him; he's got nothing."I quickly explained, "Mr. Donovan, you really can't blame Arton for this. Arton himself had no idea about the existence of this child.""He doesn’t know?" My words stirred Donovan's displeasure, making him even more furious. "Is he stupid? Doesn't he know what he did himself?

Annika quickly grabbed the phone and exclaimed, "Dad... That’s Ms. Chloe's phone. What are you doing?"Donovan seemed to realize he had gone too far and remembered that it was my phone. He sneaked a glance at me.I observed the scene calmly and didn’t bother to offer any polite gestures or reassurances like “It's okay” or “It’s not a big deal.”I watched them coldly as a detached spectator. Annika kept apologizing to me."You don't need to apologize, Annika. I'll compensate her if the phone is broken. You don’t need to act like this in front of them!” Arton said protectively.I didn’t know why, but his actions comforted me. It was clear that Arton genuinely cared for his sister and tried to protect her.Arton looked displeased and glanced at me again. "Are you two the cause of this trouble? Explain it to me right now. Who are you two? Don't mention Melanie again. I don't know her."I looked at Arton coldly. "I used to be Melanie's sister-in-law. Now do you know who I am?"Sur

When I heard what Donovan said, I silently breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Arton, saying, "That depends on Mr. Arton.”Arton no longer looked at me with the hostility he had when he first came home.He appeared to be bewildered, helpless, and even pleading... A man in his thirties who had been accustomed to recklessness now looked like a child who had made a mistake. He glanced at his father helplessly.I looked at Georgina and asked, "What about you, Mrs. Georgina? Are you satisfied with the reasons I've given?"Her face paled. She turned to her son, saying, "Since he is really your child, let's bring him back as soon as possible."I looked at Arton again. Despite his imposing appearance, he said meekly, "Let's do what my mom said."Since they had all agreed to take Charlie back, I spoke again, "But there is one condition from the lady taking care of the little boy now…”Donovan immediately said, "Of course. Feel free to tell us whatever conditions they have. My famil
