Chad suddenly grabbed Charlotte’s finger, clasping it tight in his palm and refusing to let go.
"Mummy won’t send us back to the Ross Family, will she? After attending Grandpa’s birthday tomorrow, you’ll bring us back here, right?"
He spoke with care and caution, his eyes filled with longing as he looked at Charlotte.
Ever since Mr. Ross had personally co to Charlotte’s place last ti to take Jack and Chad away, Chad had been left with a bit of a psychological shadow.
Chad was gentle and quiet by nature, different from Olivia’s shyness and introversion; in fact, he was the most dependent on Charlotte among all the children.
"I couldn’t bear to part with you guys," Charlotte pulled Chad into her embrace.
"If I could, I would want you to stay with Mummy forever."
"Why can’t we? Of course, we can! We want to be with Mummy for our entire lives, right by Mummy’s side!"
Chad clutched Charlotte’s hand, speaking hurriedly.
"Yes, we want to stay with Mummy," Jack nodded too.
"Silly children, you should let Mummy finish her sentence."
Charlotte wiped away the shiny tear drops on Chad’s cheeks.
He had cried earlier, his eyes and the tip of his nose red and swollen, making him look both soft and pitiful. This compelled Charlotte to resist pinching his little round face.
Chad broke into a smile and snuggled into Charlotte’s embrace.
"So, what does Mummy want to talk to us about?" Jack asked, bringing the conversation back on topic.
Charlotte let go of Chad and stood him up straight in front of her.
She stroked Chad’s soft hair and began speaking slowly.
"Mummy wants to tell you sothing about your biological mother."
At those words ’biological mother,’ Jack and Chad hesitated for a mont.
But the next second, Jack was shaking his head.
"Our Mummy is only you, no one else."
"Yes, we’ll always be Mummy’s children."
Faced with her children’s docility, Charlotte’s heart swelled with warmth.
"Mummy knows that you’ll always be Mummy’s good children, but it’s sothing I still want to tell you. If I don’t, you will find out tomorrow at Grandpa’s party anyway."
After saying this with much earnestness, Charlotte couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
"Mummy, did soone go find Dad Adam?" Jack quickly put two and two together.
Last ti Adam Ross had co looking for Charlotte and Justin Battleson, he had also spoken to them for a while.
Now, when Charlotte ntioned his and his brother’s biological mother again, Jack had his suspicions.
Of course, Charlotte knew Jack was quite intelligent and nodded along with his words.
"Jack, you understand that you and Chad were adopted by Mummy from the hospital, right?"
Jack nodded.
"Did that person who abandoned us co back for us?" asked Chad slowly, but his heart was already uneasy.
In his eyes, Charlotte was his real mother.
"Jack, Chad, this is what Mummy wants to tell you: Your Dad Adam and your mother have nothing to do with each other... They might not even have t."
As she spoke, Charlotte struggled to organize her thoughts, unsure how to explain the surrogacy to the children.
"It was through so special thods that you were conceived, but sothing unexpected happened when you were born, and initially, your Dad Adam didn’t know about your existence."
Not being fully aware of how much the children could understand, Charlotte tried her best to use simple words to narrate the past events.
