Ch. 2761..2770
Chapter 2761 She should have known this would be the ending. She has always been hesitant and timid because she was afraid that reuniting with her parents would end badly. However, when the ending was truly bad, she would still be saddened. Never mind about it. She has already worked hard anyway. Perhaps that was Yvonne's destiny.
In the first half of her life, she had already enjoyed all the sweetness that she should have enjoyed. Therefore, she deserved to suffer. From then on, she would not think about anything anymore. As long as Sabrina could raise her children, she would be satisfied.
Mila showed both her hands to the police. The police were speechless.
Behind her, Sabrina was incomparably emotional. "You... Mila, what the hell is going on?” Mila shook her head while smiling miserably. "It’s nothing."
Sabrina grabbed Mila's hand immediately. "With everything you said and your eyes, I can feel that you are Yvonne, but your voice, appearance, your blood type, even your DNA included, showed that you're not Yvonne. What should we do?"
She was right. What should they do? Mila had never in a million years expected that her DNA would be different from her parents'. How could that be possible? Where exactly did it go wrong? She also had no idea and she could not explain it either.
"I’m sorry. I'm not the person you’re looking for. I'm not Yvonne. I’m a liar. I've lied to all of you. I won't ask for anything else. Missus Ford, I know that you're a compassionate and kind-hearted person, so I only ask for you to not let my children suffer. They are only going to be turning three. If you love them now, they would take you and Mister Ford as their parents in the future. Both of you will have two additional loved ones. Is that alright?"
Sabrina was very sad. She nodded with her eyes reddened. "Alright, alright! Of course! The children are innocent. Even if they are someone else's children, I should take care of them as well, let alone that they are your children. However, what the hell is going on?"
Mila sighed. "If I said that I have no idea, would you believe me?"
Sabrina was speechless. She had no idea if she should believe her or not. Even Marcus, as well as Vincent and Helena, could not help but feel emotional, let alone Sabrina.
Helena, who was still going berserk earlier, suddenly told the police, "This...this is just a misunderstanding. Let her go. We...we won’t file a report anymore. Just let her go, alright?"
The police officer said, "There is no proof of any crime happening here, to begin with. You guys just wanted to do a parentage test. It’s fine now since it's already done. Since you said you’re not going to pursue the matter anymore, then there’s no problem anymore. It's best if both parties can come to an agreement on your own."
That was a false alarm, after all. The police left without taking Mila away.
Mila, on the other hand, looked at everyone present as if she was dreaming."You...guys believe me?"
Nobody answered her. How were they supposed to believe her? The DNA was different, so how could they believe her?
Seeing that nobody answered her, Mila smiled miserably again. "It's wishful thinking on my end. I'm sorry. I won't ever bother you again in the future. I'm leaving."
Upon saying that, Mila, who was exhausted, gradually walked out of the hospital.
"Mila," Marcus called out to her.
Mila turned around and looked at Marcus. Her tone became unprecedentedly cold. "Mister Shaw, is there...
anything else?"
Without waiting for Marcus to answer, Mila said, "Do you intend to ask me to leave the entertainment industry?
Well, I...other than acting, I don't have any other special skills anymore. I'll promise you that I'll never ever come to disturb you. Can you give me a chance? I can accept any kind of role. Whether it's a terrible film or whatever, it doesn't matter. It's fine by me even if you want to be an extra or act as a zombie. Just give me a chance, alright? Just once?" 1 Marcus felt incredibly sorrowful. "Take me...take US to meet your children."
Chapter 2762 Once she heard that they wanted to meet the children, and it was Marcus who brought it up, Mila's expression immediately became very defensive. "W-What do you want to do?"
Marcus shrugged miserably. "I...my wife was pregnant when she went missing-"
"No!" Without waiting for Marcus to finish his words, Mila rejected him very quickly.
"You won’t let me meet your children?" asked Marcus. " Didn’t you want to let Sabrina adopt your children?
The police are not going to arrest you anymore. You're safe now. We won't hold you responsible anymore.
Why won’t you let us meet your children anymore?"
Mila shook her head miserably. "No, that's not it. All of you can meet the children, but you can only meet them!
You can't let them do DNA tests!"
Marcus was speechless. He had to admit that he indeed had such an idea. He was thinking that judging from the way Mila acted, she did not seem to be lying.
However, Mila and Mister and Missus Yates' DNA were unexpectedly different. That already proved that Mila was actually not Yvonne. However, Marcus did not want to give up. He was thinking that since Mila said she has children, could Mila's children be Yvonne’s? If he could let the children do a DNA paternity test, as long as he could prove that the children were his, then at the very least, it would show that Yvonne and Mila certainly have something to do with each other. However, Marcus did not expect Mila would reject him with such great resistance, and she was so smart that she was able to guess it.
At that moment, Mila suddenly said aggressively, "If anybody dared to make my children do a DNA test, I'll fight all of you to death! I'll fight everyone to death! I have nothing to lose, anyway! I'll kill as many of you as I can!"
Nobody could understand her. She was clearly Yvonne, but the DNA test showed otherwise. Nobody could understand what kind of feeling that was. Yvonne did not do anything wrong. The person who did the DNA test must have tampered with it. That must be it. Why would the person tamper with it? Yvonne had no idea. Who should she trust in this world? She looked at her parents, who looked sorrowful. She looked at Sabrina. It was impossible for Sabrina to be such a person. Sabrina was the one she trusted the most in the world. She trusted Sabrina more than she trusted Marcus.
However, where the hell did it go wrong? Mila had no idea.
Something went wrong with the test of her DNA and her parents' DNA, so if they were to have her children and Marcus do a DNA test, there would be a ninety percent chance that results would show that their DNA was different. Mila could not accept such a fact! She would never be able to accept it! She was no longer the daughter of the Yates family anymore anyway. She has nothing to do with the Yates family anymore, which meant that she also has nothing to do with Marcus anymore, so it was only natural that her children had nothing to do with Marcus as well. From then on, she would be the one to protect her children. Her children must not be harmed anymore.
Seeing that Mila was so worked up, Marcus was simply helpless. He turned around to look at Sabrina. Among all these people, Sabrina was able to communicate with Mila the best. Sabrina understood his intention, so she said to Mila gently, "Alright. We won't do it since you've said so. I can promise you in my character that nobody would make your children do a DNA test in the future!"
"Really?" Mila trusted Sabrina the most. If Sabrina had made a promise, she certainly would keep it until the very end.
"Really!" Sabrina said seriously. "Now, can you take me to meet your children?"
Mila was speechless.
"You have children and you need to raise them.
Actually, your acting is very good. You're very similar to Yvonne in this aspect. Before Yvonne went missing, she was already planning to become an actress. In this aspect, both of you were incredibly alike."
Chapter 2763 "If Yvonne is still alive, she should have two children as well. You see, both of you...actually are fated. Don't you think so?"
Mila nodded and cried.
"Take us there, alright?" Sabrina could not wait to see the children. She was thinking that maybe the children would look like Yvonne and Marcus.
"Alright," Mila answered.
"I...we'll go too," Helena said in a rush.
Vincent, who was next to her, also nodded. They could not find their daughter, but if they could see the children, that would be the best form of comfort for them. All of them followed Mila out of downtown South City and went straight toward a small town that was nearest to downtown South City. The town was not big and looked quite quaint. Both the children were fostered by a pair of retirees there. Both the elderly people were surprised when they saw that Mila had brought a group of people over.
"My child, you...don't have any relatives, don't you? Why did you bring a group of people over? What have you been up to recently? My wife and I are very worried about you," an elderly man with gray hair said to Mila.
"Mister Lupton, they are...my boss and his friends. I got injured while shooting on set a while ago. It's considered a work-related injury. My boss is going to compensate me a little. He heard that I have children, so he wanted to come and meet them while he gave me the compensation," Mila told the elderly man a white lie.
Sabrina and Marcus could tell that the elderly man was quite nice to Mila.
"Mister Lupton, I didn’t bring any gifts for you this time. I really didn't have the time. I'm sorry. I...where are Dulcie and Felix? Where are they?" asked Mila.
"The two of them insisted on taking a ride on the wooden horses. So my wife has taken them to ride the wooden horses. I'll give her a call. They'll be back immediately."
While saying that, the elderly man took out his phone and dialed a group of numbers. "Dear, hurry up and come back. Oh, yes, pack some food from the deli. Our child...Mila has returned. She even brought a group of friends with her. Alright. Hurry up.” After he hung up, the elder man ushered Mila, Marcus, Sabrina, and so on into the courtyard with great enthusiasm to have a chat. The courtyard was very small, but it was very nicely decorated by the elder couple.
There were all sorts of plants. Even though there was nothing expensive, it looked very cozy and very homey. The interior of the house was quaint and cozy. The elderly man was busy pouring them tea and cutting fruit for them. He was very friendly. The way he spoke, acted, and so on were very decent. It was like an educator. Sabrina and everyone else, on the other hand, appeared to be embarrassed for making such a sudden visit.
"Thank you," Sabrina said with slight embarrassment.
"Well, I have to thank all of you. You are Mila’s superior and you even make a special trip to visit her. You're all good people. Mila.Js really pitiful. She's divorced and the father of her children did not want the two children.
Mila also was knocked over by a car once and got injured. She had plenty of restoration done on her face before she got better. However, after her face was restored, she could never play a leading role anymore. She had been filming in South City for more than a year, so she let US take care of her children...My wife and I..."
Speaking of that, the elder man actually got choked up." We have lost our only child. Initially, we can't continue living anymore. If Mila hadn't comforted US and let US take care of her children, we really don't know how we are supposed to continue living."
Sabrina was speechless. Marcus, Mister and Missus Yates, and Ruth, who were at the side, also stayed silent.
They did not know what to say.
At that moment, the gate at the small courtyard creaked as someone pushed it open. Immediately after that, shuffling footsteps could be heard running into the house.
"Slow down, both of you. Slow down a little. Look at you. You're running so quickly. You're going to cry if you fall down later." That was the voice of an elderly person.
As soon as the elderly person said that, two small children entered the house.
"Mom! Mom, Mom!” The two little children darted into Mila’s arms.
Chapter 2764 The two adorable children were only three years old and they were chubby. Both the children kept acting cute while being in Mila's arms.
The little girl was a little cuter. She did her best to squeeze herself into her mother's arms. While squeezing, she said in a bossy manner, "I want Mom. I want Mom. I want Mom.” Her older brother, who was next to her, chuckled and said, "WelL.you first go to Mom then. I'll let you go before me."
The little boy obediently leaned next to his mother's legs and let the little girl have all of their mother's embrace to herself. The little girl lifted her short legs and climbed up her mother's body. While climbing, she said, "Grandma let me ride the wooden horse. She bought tasty snacks for me. I wanted to save one for you II "Where's the snack that you’ve saved me?" Mila looked at her daughter with annoyance.
Dulcie lifted her head and chuckled in a silly manner. " It's inside my tummy..."
"Haha. Dulcie is naughty. Dulcie is naughty. I have some ..." The little boy lifted his stubby finger to poke his sister. After that, he took out two lollipops from his pocket like he was performing magic and then he raised them up very smugly.
"One for Mom and one for myself..." Upon saying that, he even deliberately looked at the little girl.
The little girl burst out crying in the next second. "Oh- Felix is bad. He didn’t give the candy to me...I want Mom II "You little drama queen. Look at you. You’re all covered in snot from crying. I have to say something about this matter. I've given both you and your brother two lollipops each. You ate all of yours. Your brother can’t bear to eat any of this. Yet, you're crying now," the old lady said to Dulcie, smiling.
"I'm just going to cry. Hmph!" The little child was very bossy.
"Alright. Dulcie, don't cry anymore. I’ll give it to you..." The little boy smiled and looked at his sister with a tolerant expression.
"You’re the best, Felix!" The little girl immediately broke into a smile, and she even gave her brother a kiss on his cheek.
After that, she put the lollipop next to his mouth. "Felix, bite half of it off for me. Bite half of it off.” The little boy indeed put the lollipop in his mouth and used his teeth to bite it with all of his might and main! He exhausted all of his strength and his face was reddened. However, his baby teeth, which had just erupted for almost three years, could not break the lollipop.
"Waah...I don’t want it anymore. You can have it." He sobbed. He already started crying, but he did not forget to let his sister have the lollipop.
Everyone present found that they were very adorable when they first saw them. Every single one of them felt that the pair of siblings were extremely cute. However, at that moment, when they saw the boy wanted to have the lollipop very badly, but he could not bear to eat them, kept saving one for his mother, and then when he saw that his sister wanted to have it very badly, he gave the one that he saved for himself to his sister, everybody’s eyes were reddened.
Marcus, in particular. He was stunned while looking at these two children. To be honest, he did not dare to be certain if the two children resembled him because he did not know what he looked like when he was a child.
Perhaps even his own parents were not too sure how he looked when he was a child anymore. When he was a child, most of the photos from that time were still in black and white. The photos were not too clear either, so did the two children resemble him? Marcus had no clue. However, the moment he first laid eyes on these two children, he was already fond of them. He was extremely fond of them. Even Sabrina, Vincent, and Helena were extremely fond of the children as well, let alone Marcus. At that moment, Helena had already forgotten the pain of missing her daughter. She was smiling without realizing herself as she looked at the children.
"Don't cry anymore, alright? I’ll buy it for you. I’ll buy lots of it." At that moment. Marcus already squatted, and he was looking at the little boy very gently.
Only then did the little boy realize that there were plenty of people sitting inside the old couple’s little room.
The little boy immediately stopped crying. "Who are you?"
Chapter 2765 "Stupid Felix, he is Dad!" At that moment, the little girl who had the lollipop in her mouth suddenly took it out of her mouth and stuffed it in her brother's mouth. After that, she lifted her chubby little arms and rushed into Marcus' arms.
"Dad. Hug me, Dad. I want you, Dad. I want you so much that I want to have candies."
Ah, well...her brother was totally confused!
"Dulcie, come back here. Dulcie..." Felix resolutely wanted to pull his sister back. However, his sister already rushed into Marcus' arms. Marcus was speechless.
Mila was stunned. She called out frantically and humbly, "Dulcie! Dulcie! Hurry up and come out of his arms.
Dulcie, you have to listen to me!” Dulcie kept moving about in Marcus' arms to act cute. Her mouth was still sticky from the lollipop earlier, so she stained Marcus’ white shirt. She was also muttering, "I don't want to. I don’t want to. I want Dad. I have a dad...I want my dad to take me to ride the wooden horse...I have a dad..."
The little girl broke out in tears halfway through her sentence. When she lifted her head again, she laughed again. "Dad, your shirt is dirty.” Marcus was speechless. He did not say anything but it was not because he did not want to say anything.
Instead, he felt a lump in his throat and was choking as if a cotton ball was stuck in there. However, his eyes could not fool anybody. At that moment, Marcus' eyes were all reddened.
He cleared his throat a few times and then he finally said something. However, his voice was still choked up.
"Daddy...Daddy’s not afraid of getting my shirt dirty. I... like it...very much that you've made my shirt dirty.” Felix broke out in tears as soon as Marcus finished his sentence. Felix was considered to be a strong and tough person. He knew to save the lollipop for his mother.
Even if he already knew clearly that his sister had already finished both of hers but he still had not had any, he still let his sister have his. However, at that moment when he saw his sister acting adorable in the arms of her father, he immediately could hold it in anymore. He cried so pitiably.
He cried so hard that his saliva kept drooling and his speech was not so clear. "Dulcie...Dulcie has a dad...I don't have a dad."
Marcus immediately pulled him into his arms and said gently, "Felix...you can also call me Dad. You and Dulcie were given birth by the same mother, so it's only natural that you also share the same father as well. How can you be so silly, Filex? Your sister's dad is, of course, also your dad."
"Dad, Dad, Dad..." He sobbed. At that moment, it was Felix’s turn to throw himself into Marcus' arms. He kept calling for his dad continuously as If calling out once was not enough. Marcus hugged both the children in his arms very tightly at the same time. Everyone around them was all stunned by what they saw. Nobody said anything.
Sabrina and Ruth looked at each other. Vincent and Helena did not blink their eyes at all. The old couple who were taking care of the children were smiling as if they were appreciating a picture.
Mila was the only one who was covered in tears. She cried so much that she was choking. She did her best to let her voice become a little calmer, but she still had a catch in her throat as she said, "Marcus...Master Marcus, do you mean...you're willing...to let my children...call you ...Dad?"
Marcus lifted his head and glanced at everyone in the room, and then his gaze landed on Mila and said calmly, "Yes, I'm willing to let them call me Dad."
Chapter 2766 Nobody had ever expected that things would end up like that.
When Sabrina, Marcus, and the rest of them came over, they only wanted to see the children and know the truth.
However, at that moment, Marcus actually truly felt that the children were very adorable. After all, his heart had always been feeling empty from failing to find his wife and children. Therefore, the moment when he saw the two chubby little children, his heart was captured by them.
It was when Marcus thought of this matter again years later that he understood the reason he could not help himself and blurted out the words were not that the children were very adorable.
Rather, it was because blood was thicker than water. They were his children, so he felt close to them as soon as he met them. This was a blood relationship that could not be severed.
"This is great. Now, both the children have a father." The old lady at the side smiled and tears streamed down her face.
She looked at everyone present. "All of you have no idea. Mila had been crying while looking at Mister Shaw's photo every day. she had been telling the two children every day that that is their father. My husband and I have been very worried that Mila has gone crazy. Mister Shaw is from an eminent family in South City, so how can he be the children's father? We've never expected that Mister Shaw would truly come over one day. He really is willing to acknowledge these two children as well. Both the children are truly very cute, but they are too pitiful as well. However, it's all good now."
The old lady was truly happy for Mila. In the two years that Mila had been staying there, she had been taking care of them. It was as if she was truly their daughter.
"Stay for dinner. I'll go buy some food to take away now. We have never had so many guests. It's really very lively today. All of you must stay for dinner. I'll go get the food now."
The old man was even more enthusiastic. While saying that, he went out to get some food. The entire house full of people could not refuse the invitation. Even Helena and Vincent also felt that Mila was not that much of an eyesore anymore when they look at her again.
"Mila, Гт sorry. I...we also hope that you're our Yvonne. However, your voice, appearance, and everything including your DNA are different from Yvonne's. At this moment, if we were to acknowledge that you're our Yvonne, then our child, our Yvonne, would have to be crying in a corner somewhere for the rest of her life now, wouldn't she?" Helena said to Mila very sincerely while looking at her.
Mila shook her head and tears gushed down her cheeks. "Mom... no, I mean, Mister Yates..."
She had never expected that in her lifetime, there would be a moment where she was facing her mother but she could not address her as her mother. That feeling was incredibly miserable. However, the situation at that moment was improving, was it not? If she was destined to experience hardships in this life, then let the hardships come at her even stronger. It would be fine as long as the hardship would eventually pass. She, Mila, no, it should be Yvonne, had once been a sweetheart that had never suffered at all. She certainly could pull through it. The situation at that moment was a good sign. At the very least, her mother no longer resisted her that much anymore. Besides, was her mother not resisting her because she missed her and loved her? what was there for Yvonne to be sad about? She should be happy. Life simply is like that. It is painful but also happy. However, if her children were well and she was still alive, then that would be the best.
Mila looked at Helena and Vincent while smiling incomparably gently and said extremely sincerely, "Mister and Missus Yates...I've actually never thought of wanting to reunite with both of you as your daughter, what I had in mind at the very beginning was just to be able to stay by your side and take care of you. I never wanted anything. I just wanted to take care of both of you. I feel the same for Marcus as well. I've never thought of marrying him at all."
Chapter 2767 "I will be very satisfied to just be his friend and take care of him. I've never thought of marrying him in this life at all. I won't defile him, much less fight your daughter, Yvonne, for a mother's love. I won't do any of that. Don't worry. If you think that I'm ugly and you don't want to see me, I can also not appear in front of you. I can do that. It's enough for me to confirm regularly that you're still doing well and you're healthy in all aspects. I...only have this little request."
She said that so very sincerely that tears were welling up in Vincent and Helena's eyes.
"Helena..." Vincent choked a little.
Helena looked at Vincent. "Hmm?"
"Do you believe in relationships by blood?" Vincent asked. Helena was speechless.
"I know that our daughter's whereabouts are still unknown today. If our daughter didn't appear, we can't simply take another girl as her. However, why do I keep feeling that Mila is our daughter?
Even if her DNA is unlike ours, why do I still feel that she's Yvonne? " said Vincent. He was already covered in tears while saying that.
Helena sobbed. "I...I also have this feeling that Mila is our daughter. Vincent, what should we do?"
Vincent cried while shaking his head. "But, this is too unfair to our daughter."
"Our daughter, our Yvonne, is too pitiful. If we were to acknowledge Mila as our daughter, that means our Yvonne would never ever have the chance to come home anymore in this life.
That means even her parents have given up on her. We..." Helena cried with extreme sorrow.
Mila was moved beyond measure. "I know that, Mister and Missus Yates. I know. I understand the reason that you're not acknowledging me. I understand. I...I will never have you acknowledge me as your daughter in this life. I will never ever do that."
"But..." Helena looked at Mila, she truly felt sorry for this girl.
Even if she tricked them. This girl indeed had tricked the couple of their feelings.
"What should we do?" Helena embraced Mila.
"Madam, don't cry. Don't cry. Hurry up and wipe your tears." The little girl lifted her chubby little hand and wiped Helena's tears for her.
Helena was stunned immediately.
"Madam, don't be sad, I'll give my lollipop to you." The little girl took out that little bit of lollipop covered in her saliva that was left in her mouth and wanted to give it to Helena.
Helena immediately laughed. "You silly little girl..."
"You laughed." The little boy at the side grinned while looking at Helena.
"Kids, hurry up over and let...Grandma hug both of you. Hurry up and come into my arms. I will give you big presents." Helena stretched her arms open while looking at the two children.
"Grandma?" The little girl was confused.
The little boy was just ten minutes older than the little girl, but he knew more than her. "silly Dulcie. Grandma is our mother's mother."
"Grandma..." The little girl immediately rushed into Helena's arms. That was her mother's mother, of course, she would be a very, very dear person to her.
"Grandma..." The little boy was very tough. He did not rush into his grandma's arms. He just stood next to her like a gentleman.
"Oh, my good grandchildren." Helena laughed.
"Are you...also willing to acknowledge my children?" Mila absolutely could not believe it. 2 Helena shook her head. "To be very honest with you, we can't acknowledge them, but..."
Chapter 2768 When Mila heard the pause in Helena's sentence, she felt incomparably disappointed. However, she became open- minded again in a blink of an eye. It was right for Helena to not acknowledge them.
"However, Vincent and I love these two children. If you're willing, we can also take these children with US, and we can take care of them for you." Helena's tone was incredibly sincere. That was the only way she could think of to compromise, she wanted to acknowledge the children as her grandchildren very badly.
However, she also knew that Mila was not Yvonne. If she were to acknowledge that Mila was her daughter, if Yvonne was still alive, then Yvonne would be truly too pitiful. Therefore, she could not do it.
"Thank you. Thank you very much. We're already very grateful." Mila shook her head to reject. "I really don't need you to help me take care of my children. It's quite good for me to leave my children here."
Mila then looked at the elderly couple who took care of her children for her. The elderly man had already returned from buying food. At that moment when he heard Helena say that she wanted to help take care of the children, he was actually feeling nervous. However, once he heard that Mila said she would not let the children leave them, the elderly man smiled happily again. He put all sorts of food that he bought in the living room, sat on the couch, and then sighed.
"My wife and I have lost our only child. If it weren't for Mila, we may have survived all these years. It's Mila and the two children who gave US the hope to continue living. The children are precious to us. Don't worry. My wife and I will certainly take care of them very well—"
"How about this?" Marcus cut off the elderly man. "I'll bring both of you to my house and let you stay in the annex. Both of you can then take care of the children and also stay a little closer to Mila. What do you think...?"
The elderly man looked at the elderly lady. The elderly lady looked at the elderly man.
After a long while, the elderly lady said, "As long as we can be together with the children, it's fine by US for US to go anywhere. South City is not far from here, to begin with. We're not going to be traveling the distance to go to a foreign place, so why not?"
"Alright! It's all set then!" Marcus said gladly. He truly liked the children from the bottom of his heart. He was thinking that no matter who Mila was, the children were innocent. Even if Mila was not Yvonne and the children were not his, if Marcus were to take care of the children, it would be considered as him asking for blessings for the missing Yvonne.
He was wishing that someone would also help Yvonne in some corner of this world.
After the matter regarding the children was all set, one thing was taken off all of their minds. All of them shared a meal at the elderly couple's house, then the elderly couple brought some clothes to change and followed Marcus back to South City. The elderly couple took the children to the annex of the Shaw Residence and stayed there. When the children saw such a big courtyard, they were so happy that they ran around in the courtyard. The laughter of them playing startled Marcus' parents. They were old as well. Also, the Shaw family has such a big business but they had never had any heirs.
The courtyard was so big that it was enough for ten children to run back and forth to play, let alone two children. When Marcus' parents saw the children, they were just as happy as Vincent and Helena did. They interacted with the children almost immediately.
Mila, who was standing at the entrance of the Shaw Residence and watching everything, was already feeling incredibly satisfied.
"Why aren't you going in?" asked Sabrina, who was standing behind Mila.
Mila shook her head miserably. "I don't wish to bring any more trouble to them. To me, life is already perfect like that. I won't ask for anything anymore in this life...I won't ask for a husband anymore. I won't ask for my parents to acknowledge me as their daughter anymore."
Chapter 2769 "I won't ask to move into the Shaw Residence again and be the young lady of a rich household. 1 just want to stay alive, watch my children be full of vigor, and watch them grow up, then I will be very satisfied."
"Are you still going to be an actress?" asked Sabrina.
"That's right." Mila smiled happily. "I realized I'm quite gifted in acting. It was only after I started working in this industry that I learned that I really love this job. It's fine no matter how ugly the character I'm playing. I just like to give these kinds of ugly characters added depth through my acting. That would be an achievement to me."
Sabrina smiled. "Mm-hmm. That's quite good. Ruth, myself, Kingston, and also Eevonne will visit you often in the future. You have to...do your best on your own!"
"Mm-hmm. I have to do my best!" Mila could tell that Sabrina sounded a little distant, she felt a little sad, but she would not blame Sabrina.
"When my new movie premiered, would you still go and watch?" she asked Sabrina again after a few seconds.
Sabrina was the best friend she had in her life. She always subconsciously wanted to gain Sabrina's approval and also her blessings.
"Sure," Sabrina answered calmly, "I certainly will go and watch it."
Sabrina could not tell what exactly was the kind of feeling she had toward Mila. She kept feeling that Mila was Yvonne. She kept subconsciously wanting to be friendly to Mila. However, once she thought that what if Mila was not Yvonne, then how sad Yvonne, who was hiding in some corner, would feel? Did Yvonne deserve to be abandoned by this world? No! Sabrina could not be too friendly with Mila.
"You...all the best!" Sabrina had a very distant attitude. " I...I won't be entering the Shaw Residence. I have to go and pick up my children. My work has already been delayed because of today's matters, to begin with. I...will first be going back."
Mila nodded. That afternoon, Sabrina, who has returned home, kept nestling on the couch while being lost in her thoughts, she was still thinking about a problem when her husband and children got home.
"What's going on?" Sebastian asked her.
Sabrina sighed, "why? why would the DNA be different? How could it be possible?"
Sebastian smiled without a care at all. "They don't look alike. Their voices are different. Every part of this person, even her blood type, is different. If she and Yvonne are the same person, then it's absolutely strange. If their DNA is tested to be exactly the same, then I'll feel it's scary!"
Sabrina shook her head. "But that also doesn't make sense, doesn't it?"
"What about it doesn't make sense?" Sebastian asked his wife calmly.
"Mila knew all the details shared between Yvonne and me. All of it! You know, if they are not the same person, it's impossible for her to know so many details!" Sabrina said with great emphasis in her tone. Sebastian seemed to be thinking about something as well.
Aino, who was sitting at the side and had not said anything, said, " Dad, Mom, when I grow up, I'll absolutely never marry into a rich family."
"You silly little thing! You're from a rich family yourself, so what kind of rich family are you going to marry into?" Sebastian lifted his hand and smacked his daughter's head. In the end, he did not manage to smack her head.
It was only then that he suddenly realized that his daughter had already grown up.
"Tell me, why don't you want to marry into a rich family?" Sebastian's hand was stopped in mid-air and he was looking at Aino very kindly.
Aino shrugged her shoulders and said in a tone as if she had seen through everything, "Because whether it was from Mom or from Aunt Yvonne's experiences, I could tell one thing."
Sebastian was stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "what is it?"
Chapter 2770 "Rich families have a lot of troubles. You can hide from those who attack you openly, but you can't hide from those who attack you in secret. You can hide from this, but you can't hide from that. Look at Aunt Yvonne. Before she was married, she and my mom were from two different families and backgrounds. My mom has always been having it very rough before she was married, but it was not the same for Aunt Yvonne. Aunt Yvonne has been the apple of her entire family's eye. But what happened to her after she married into a rich family? Uncle Marcus loves her very much, but she still was set up by others."
The young lady's tone was very calm and very cool. It was like something that a high schooler would say.
Sebastian could not help but take another look at his daughter. " My daughter has grown up!"
"Dad!" Aino smiled while looking at Sebastian. "I'm sixteen going on seventeen soon. In another year, I'll be an eighteen-year-old grown-up. I'll be an adult then, won't I?"
She was right. Sebastian felt incomparably emotional while looking at his daughter. Aino was no longer the child when he had just found her and brought her back. This girl's personality was more and more like her mother's as she grew up. she was influenced by her mother a little more, after all. she was calm, rational, has the ability to make plans, and has patience. Not only that but the girl's heart was filled with love. That was the great influence of her Uncle Zayn on her.
Zayn was gentle and tolerant by nature. He had taught her since she was a child with endless tolerance. Before she turned five, she had been living by her mother and Uncle Zayn's side. Her mother was very strict with her, but her uncle gave her infinite tolerance. That made the girl have a gentle, tolerant, and open-minded character with a slightly boyish temperament. Later, when she returned to her father's side, quite a bit of her father's decisiveness, calmness, and coolness were passed on to her. 1 Sebastian's daughter was young, but he seemed to have seen the look of the Ford Group's successor. However, Aino was an extremely smart girl.
"Don't think about letting me take over your position!" Aino told her father directly.
"How do you know I want to let you take over my position?" Sebastian found it absolutely strange.
Aino shrugged her shoulders, tilted her head, and said very disdainfully, "Sebastian, you have failed to manage your expression, alright? with the way you look at your daughter, all that's left is to have the words 'My daughter is going to be the successor for the Ford Group soon.' written on your face. You almost had all those words written on your face, alright?"
Sebastian smiled. "Do I?"
"What do you think?" Aino did not say anything else to her father. She got up and walked into her room. Not long after that, she walked out again while hugging her piggy bank.
"Why are you hugging your piggy bank?" Sebastian asked in confusion.
"I'm guessing that I've saved up almost ten thousand dollars in this piggy bank. It's all the allowance and money for my traveling, summer camp, winter camp, and so on from the past few years that both of you had given me. I've saved them up. I want to take the money out now." Aino sighed. She had been fumbling around in her room for a while. She did not open it. 1 "Dad, help me open my piggy bank." Aino handed her piggy bank to her father.
