Billionaire’s Runaway Bride

After a while, the little one suddenly cried out with laughter, “Did Mommy promise Daddy? Then we’re a family now! Mommy won’t leave anymore!”

With that, the little one hugged my neck happily.

I suddenly froze. When did I promise? But following the little one’s gaze, I saw that the diamond ring that Penn had just held was now securely on my finger.

I thought of the strange feeling I had just experienced and looked down at Aviva and Cyrus at my feet. The two little ones were smiling obediently.

I turned my head to look at Penn again.

But Penn just had an affectionate expression on his face, leaving me unable to ask him anything.

“Mummy, promise Uncle, okay!” Cyrus said in a childish voice, grabbing and shaking the hand that was holding him, his face filled with anticipation.

Aviva also spoke up, expressing her own thoughts, “Mummy, since Lundy is our brother, then give him a complete family.”

Hearing the children’s words, I felt a wave of guilt.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Aviva’s words were not just about Lundy, but also herself.

Ever since they were able to understand, they have always wanted a dad, but because of me, they never dared to express their feelings.

I’m sure that the children also desire a complete family!

I think it’s time to say this out loud.

“Well, actually…”

Before I could speak, Penn interrupted me and looked at Aviva and Cyrus apologetically. “Actually, I am your biological father. I’m sorry for only telling you now. I only found out about this recently. I’m sorry for being absent from your lives for so long.”

Hearing Penn’s words, I stood still. “How did you find out?” He looked at me with affection in his eyes. “I found out when I last visited Dexter. He told me. He was the one who left Lundy at the Carter family’s doorstep. He bribed the doctor to deceive you that the child was stillborn, and then sent the child to me.”

“Why did he do that?”

I was in agony, never expecting that Dexter was the one who caused me so much pain and separation from my children all these years.

“Because he said he liked you. He did this to prevent you from coming back to me. He made us believe that you abandoned Lundy, so neither I nor my parents could possibly accept you,” Penn explained.

Hearing Penn’s words, I trembled with anger.

Once I calmed down, I noticed that Aviva and Cyrus remained calm since Penn revealed himself to be their biological father.

I looked down at the two children.

Aviva and Cyrus smiled, “We knew who our biological father was before we went back to our country. That’s why we have been trying to match Mummy with him. We just thought that Lundy was our half brother, but we found out today that he is our biological brother. Now we are finally reunited as a family.”

Hearing their words, I was momentarily unsure how to react.

No wonder the two children were so strangely conflicted towards Penn. They had known for a long time that he was their biological father.

Suddenly, I felt two pairs of eyes on me.

I looked up and saw Janet in the distance.

She wasn’t standing in the light, with half of her body hidden in the shadow.

The light shone on her face as she looked at the three children, her eyes filled with compassion. But when I looked over, Janet’s expression turned cold again. Latham stood beside her, his eyes fixed on the three children.

I regretfully turned my gaze away and looked at the three little ones who were eagerly looking at me. My impulsive decision years ago deprived Lundy of her mother’s love for so many years, and also deprived Aviva and Cyrus of their father’s love for so many years. As Penn’s parents, how could they possibly accept me as their daughter-in-law?

“Mommy?” The little ones urged anxiously.

I regained my senses, a hint of struggle flashing through my eyes before quickly becoming firm.

I placed Lundy on the ground and said to Aviva and Cyrus, “You guys go inside with your little brother first.”

The children seemed to sense something and stubbornly looked at me, not wanting to leave.

I reached out and gently patted their heads, “Don’t worry, Mummy has promised your sister that we will never be separated again.”

Aviva stared at me for a long time before turning to Cyrus and Lundy, “Let’s go inside.”

Lundy pouted and reached out his little hand, “Mummy, pinkie promise, we didn’t do this earlier!”

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as I made a pinkie promise with my little ones.

The children finally turned around and headed inside the villa.

I turned around and calmly faced Penn’s parents, removing the ring from my finger and returning it to Penn.

To my surprise, they did not have the happiness that I expected. Instead, their expressions were unreadable.

Janet, my former mother-in-law who had never given me a good look, approached me and said, “You know, I used to dislike you a lot. I could overlook your poor origins since nobody chooses their birth, but when you left a divorce agreement and embarrassed the entire Carter family, I thought it was your revenge against Penn for neglecting you for three years. What disgusted me the most was your cruel abandonment of your newly born, sickly child. I thought that you were the type of person who would abandon your family and have ulterior motives for coming back.”

She sighed, “Now I understand that Lundy was not deliberately abandoned by you, and that you are not the despicable person I thought you were. I cannot immediately accept you or like you, but I do not want my grandchildren to be separated from their parents or to live in an incomplete family.”

After listening to her words, I was stunned. I never expected her to have this attitude. Latham cleared his throat and brought me back to my thoughts. “When Penn invited us, we were against your remarriage. But now, we are not opposed to it.”

“What?” My shock was beyond words.

“Penn, the engagement ring is meant for you to put on yourself,” Janet said, pouting.

“Yeah! Daddy, hurry up and put it on Mommy!” The three children urged.

It turned out that the three little ones had not actually gone into the mansion, but were hiding in a nearby corner. I turned my head to look at Penn walking towards me. He stood in front of me and knelt down on one knee. “Aimee, would you give me another chance to take care of you?” Tears rolled down my face uncontrollably. I slowly extended my left hand and choked”I will”
