This statement instantly enraged Mr. Ross, who banged his cane heavily on the ground, glaring at Charlotte Thompson.
"Good for you, Charlotte Thompson, what have you been teaching the children to make them not even recognize me, their own grandfather!"
Now, in Mr. Ross’s mind, everything Charlotte did was intentional.
For the first time, Charlotte felt so helpless, her voice almost hoarse.
"Not? Do you think I’m an old fool with dim eyesight and failing ears? I heard it all clearly just now!"
Mr. Ross was so angry that he started coughing, and the man standing next to him hastily patted Mr. Ross’s back to help him catch his breath.
Then the man looked up and cast a sharp glance at Charlotte Thompson, "Miss Thompson, I hope you can make some right choices."
Charlotte bit her lower lip tightly, her fingertips trembling. She slowly shifted her gaze to Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson by her side.
Chad had been crying so hard that he hiccupped; Jack, his older brother, was only pretending to be strong, but tears had already flooded his eyes.
The children’s tears were like knives, painfully carving into Charlotte’s heart.
But now it seemed Charlotte had no choice at all.
Justin Battleson also saw the pain Charlotte was in and was about to speak, but the man beside Mr. Ross beat him to it.
"Miss Thompson, have you decided?"
Charlotte’s nails dug so deeply into her flesh that her knuckles turned white, almost completely shattering.
She bent down and embraced Jack and Chad into her arms, "I’m sorry, children, it’s all mummy’s fault." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0velFire.ɴet
"Mummy, do you really not want us anymore?" Jack’s face showed a hint of fear.
Chad clung tighter to Charlotte, refusing to let go.
"No, how could mummy not want you? But now you need to go back to the Ross Family with grandfather for a while."
Charlotte didn’t know with what strength she managed to say those words; she bit down on her teeth, her eyes feeling sore and swollen.
In fact, she could have forcefully kept the children with her.
But by doing so, she would have broken the relationship between the children and the Ross Family.
Mr. Ross was right; they were children of the Ross Family, with the Ross Family blood running through their veins.
"Mummy, I don’t want to go back, I don’t want to..." Jack couldn’t help but cry bitterly.
"Mummy, don’t let Jack and Chad go, Grace doesn’t want them to go!"
Grace Thompson also started to tug on Charlotte’s clothes and then turned to look at Justin Battleson at the side.
"Daddy, think of something, don’t let Jack and Chad go."
"Don’t go! Don’t go!"
Even Hank Thompson, who was always strong, couldn’t help but wipe away his tears.
Chad Thompson beside him had his brows locked tightly together, showing that his fists by his sides were trembling continuously.
The children were crying in a heap, causing Charlotte’s heart to wrench.
She took a deep breath and slowly stood up,"Mr. Ross, I will clarify the matters on the internet, and I will prove to you that I am qualified to raise the two children."
"Then I’ll wait for you to sort out your trivial matters," Mr. Ross said sarcastically. "Can I take the children away now?"
"Jack, Chad, mummy is sorry for the wrongs she’s done, but rest assured, mummy will bring you back soon. You will always be mummy’s dearest treasures."
As she touched the heads of the two children, Charlotte’s eyes were full of reluctance.
"Mummy isn’t lying to us, right?" Chad’s voice trembled.
