Chapter 894: Chapter 894

But Jack knew very well in his heart. He took the initiative to reach out and grab his brother’s hand and then approached Mr. Ross.

"Grandfather," Jack began, calling softly.

Seeing this, Chad also called out.

Mr. Ross’s pupils trembled slightly, and his lips were almost pressed into a straight line.

After a long silence, he gave up what he wanted to say and just reached out to touch the tops of the two children’s heads. Follow current novᴇls on novᴇlfire.net

The love Mr. Ross felt for these two children was genuine, but in his heart, he felt even more a sense of guilt.

Mr. Ross had always been a man of few words, only maintaining a stern face, which made Jack and Chad invariably feel afraid.

Charlotte also understood that Mr. Ross didn’t want to part from the children. As she was about to speak, Adam came over.

"Good thing I made it on time." Adam exhaled slowly and handed the gifts to the two children, bending down to speak.

"Remember to share with your brother and sister when you get back."

After all, Jack and Chad were just kids at heart, and seeing the toys naturally filled them with joy, as they both nodded eagerly.

Charlotte watched the elated children, feeling naturally happy herself.

"Thank you," Adam stepped forward, closing the distance between him and Charlotte.

Charlotte turned her head, not knowing where Adam’s thanks came from. She pursed her lips and said nothing, waiting for more of what Adam would say.

"If it weren’t for you, these kids couldn’t possibly be living so carefree and happy."

Adam couldn’t help expressing his admiration and felt even more apologetic to the children.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows and gave him a look but seemed to think of something, her hand tensing slightly at her side.

However, Adam didn’t notice the movement of Charlotte’s hands, only turning to look at the side of her face.

"Having you take care of the children puts my mind at ease," he said.

"Of course, they are my sons." Charlotte responded as she slightly lifted her gaze to see Chad had approached Mr. Ross to talk with him.

Sometimes, Charlotte was genuinely curious about what sort of person the mother of Jack and Chad could be.

She had known Adam for no short amount of time, and she had got the measure of his personality.

Yet the temperaments of the two little fellows, Jack and Chad, didn’t quite resemble Adam’s.

The children were docile and composed, completely unlike the Mr. Ross of the Ross Family.

But Charlotte knew deep down that there were some things that didn’t need to be asked.

After all... they weren’t very honorable.

Both lost in thought, the atmosphere fell into silence for a while until Mr. Ross spoke up, drawing both of their attention.

Mr. Ross cleared his throat and said slowly, "Since the discharge process is already complete, don’t stay here anymore. Take the children and go back."

"Alright," Charlotte replied, nodding her head.

The two children also ran up to Charlotte’s side, each holding the gift Adam had given them.

"Mr. Ross, please arrange for someone from the Ross Family to come and pick up Jack and Chad this weekend."

This was a promise between herself and the Ross Family, and Charlotte naturally intended to honor it.

However, Charlotte hadn’t expected Mr. Ross to speak up at that moment: "Let’s skip this weekend."

Charlotte turned her gaze to him, but all she saw was Mr. Ross’s back.

Charlotte looked at Adam, puzzled.

Adam’s eyes fluttered slightly: "The old man feels guilty."

The word was not unfamiliar to Charlotte, but it was indeed surprising to hear it used in relation to Mr. Ross.
