Tristan’s POV

“Are you even listening to me?”

Grace’s voice snaps me back into reality. I look at her, and now she’s standing over my desk, staring at the things on it like she’s deciding what to sweep off the surface first. When she notices that I’m watching her, she saves herself with a smile. But I can already see the insanity burning behind that gaze.

“Hello?” she says, waving her hand over my face. “Come on, Tristan. What I said isn’t so complicated. Surely even you can understand it.”

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 61

    Tristan’s POVMy ears start to ring just hearing that from my mother.What the hell is she trying to do?Elena looks uncomfortable now. “I don’t like exposing them to gatherings that are meant for adults.”“It’s only for one night,” Mom insists. “It’s a big party, and a lot of our friends are invited. I can tell them to bring their kids and grandkids. It will be fun for your children, I promise.”Opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water, Elena tries hard to answer. But then, the door opens and the doctor comes out. “Miss Harrington?”Elena, looking relieved at the distraction, immediately gets away to talk to the doctor. Which gives me plenty of time to grab my mom by the arm and pull her to the side. “What the fuck are you thinking?”“Don’t you dare talk to your mother like that!” Dad barks at me.I just sigh. “Listen. I just need to understand why the hell you both thought it’s a good idea for Elena to be there. And you’re not even contented just dragging her there. Yo

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 60

    Elena’s POV“Alexander!”My scream echoes in my ringing ears. Time slows down, almost sputtering to a halt, and as I rush towards Alexander, it feels as though my limbs are traveling through amber. Slugging. Unable to reach him in time.Grace gasps. I know she didn’t mean to do it. She’s out for me.And that’s why she aims again.“I should’ve shot you when I had the chance!” she grits out, cocking the gun once more.But this time, someone springs out of the kitchen doors. The figure tackles the man next to Grace, distracting her and knocking him out with one solid punch. Grace backs off, then I see who it is.Tristan.He gets up and snatches the gun right of Grace’s hand, kicking it out of her reach. She tries to run, but he grabs her, pushing her down on the floor even as she starts struggling.I kneel next to Alexander, cradling his head on my lap. His side is bleeding, the red stain growing on his cashmere shirt. I can see blood pooling from under him.“Alexander,” I whisper, tears

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 59

    Tristan’s POVThere’s something wrong.I can feel it in my bones. As soon as Elena turned around and said to Alexander, “I’m just going to take care of something. The kids should stay here with you,” I immediately felt that something is off.I have known Elena quite well in our years of being married, and I have come to recognize when she’s hiding something. Or when she’s thinking about doing something that she doesn’t want anyone to find out about. There’s always that look in her eyes, and I saw that when she left.I pace the floor now, unable to leave the office even though I’m fully aware of Alexander watching me.“You can leave, you know,” he suddenly says, that same old smirk back on his face. “I don’t know why you’re still here.”“You mean you don’t feel it?” I ask. “Something is wrong. I feel like Elena went after Grace to talk to her herself.”Alexander stiffens. “That’s bad.”“I know,” I mutter. Then a decision forms in my mind. “I’m going to follow her. She can’t have gone t

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 58

    Elena’s POVIt’s reckless, I know. I might even go as far as call it stupid.But I don’t trust Tristan’s word one bit.So here I am now, trailing after Grace like a stalker.I know her apartment so I went there and waited until she headed out. Surely enough, she did. I did wonder what she was doing with her time since she wasn’t working, but she seemed busy. She was carrying a briefcase when she left, and she was speaking to someone on the phone. She seemed irritated, the way she always was when something work-related didn’t go her way.“I told you to meet me, now!” I heard her yell at someone on the phone.As slyly as I could, I followed her.Now, she’s on her way to a diner well outside town, and I’m trying to find a place to park so I can come in and watch her.I still don’t know my plan, exactly. I don’t know if I should just watch or try to talk to her. She hasn’t done anything suspicious so far. It’s not just Tristan who’s said something bad about her, either. Alexander also men

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 57

    Elena’s POVMy whole world stopped spinning. I never thought that it would come, my children being directly involved in whatever business that I got myself into.“This is all my fault,” is all I can say as I back out of the bedroom. “The kids….” Trailing off, I turn to Grandpa Harold and Uncle Marcus. “Is Penny still under your custody? Did she take my children?”Uncle Marcus steps forward. “Penny is still here, Elena. She never left the house. She’s under surveillance nonstop. We never let her out of our sight. The kids must have left.”“Left?” I echo. “This can’t be possible! Surely someone must’ve seen them come out!”“Let’s ask around, alright?” Uncle Marcus says, his voice going back to its gentle comforting tone. “They can’t have gotten far, wherever they decided to go.”“I’ll be taking care of our flight,” Grandpa Harold says. “If this isn’t the line that we shouldn’t have crossed, then I don’t know what is. I’ll go to the airport and arrange everything myself.”I nod, so worri

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 56

    Tristan’s POVWhat are the children doing here?I blink rapidly to make sure I’m seeing things correctly, and it turns out that I am. Sophie and Liam stare back at me, Sophie with curiosity and Liam with utter distaste. Alexander is still with them, sitting on the carpet with a box of toys on his lap, his lips pursed like he’s trying to think of a way to explain this.The silence between all of us lasts for a few moments. Then at last, Alexander raises his hands and breaks the ice. “Okay, so I can explain—”“Is Elena here?” I blurt out, then his words sink in. Explain, he said? What does he need to explain? Unless…. “Hey, is Elena even here? Did you take her children?”I take a step closer to him, but it’s Liam who gets in my way. “Don’t you dare accuse him of doing something bad! You’re the only one who’s capable of doing bad things around here!”I back off, looking at Alexander. I didn’t want to do it, but I ask for help with my eyes, wanting him to handle the situation as I don’t k
