Semua Bab She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Elena’s POVMy ribs can barely contain my heart as it beats faster and faster inside my chest the closer I get to my daughter’s hospital room.Fate must be really playing with me.Of all the people in this city. Of all the situations I could get into that would lead my children closer to the truth… this happened. It’s so hard to deny everything. I don’t even know how I managed it.I feel bad for threatening Tristan with a restraining order. He doesn’t deserve that. Not after what he did for Sophie.But then again, what choice did I have?“Are you alright, Mommy?” Liam asks as I head inside.Sophie is already back in her bed. The television is on. They’re watching some kind of animal documentary. The table was splayed out over her bed, complete with some orange juice and a stack of pancakes and fruits. But it seems that she hasn’t touched them.“I’m okay, baby,” I say, kissing his forehead before coming over to Sophie. “How do you feel? Are you—”“Confused,” Sophie says in a low voice.

Third Person POV“Tristan!” Elena yells, her chest hardening with panic as Tristan splays down on the floor, his crutch uselessly pinned under his body.Alexander doesn’t stop. His anger is so great and so encompassing that he forgets that Tristan is already down, and there’s no more reason to hurt him. But he’s still thinking about it. He’s still consumed by it.He aims for a kick, but it’s Elena who stops him.“What the hell is wrong with you?”The indignation in her voice makes him freeze.Alexander blinks, and only then does it occur to him what happened. He looks down at Tristan and feels horror rushing through him.“I-I didn’t mean to,” he stammers, looking at Elena. “I was just angry, and I just wanted to confront him!” His panic gets the best of him, and he starts to make excuses. “He could’ve been the one to set it all up. Think about it—maybe he was trying to draw your sympathy by getting hurt. Maybe this isn’t even real! Maybe he’s just trying to take you back!”Elena doesn

Elena’s POVGrandpa Harold nods, but I have a feeling that it’s not over. He hasn’t dismissed me yet, and all I can do is wait with bated breath for what he’s about to say.He and Uncle Marcus have been so good to me and my children that sometimes I forget that it hasn’t even been a decade since I met them as my only living family.None of us even know how my mother really died. We just took the reason at face value and decided to stop from there because it was a dead end.They took me as their own, including my children, giving them the kind of privilege that most only dream to have.But it comes with a certain kind of pressure.That pressure is the same reason why I wanted to make it on my own. Why I decided to break away from the Harrington name, even if it’s just to establish my own company. They offered to take me under their wing, but it came with a lot of conditions. The first of those conditions was my need to earn my first million in clean profit three months after establishi

Third Person POV“Mom, give it a fucking rest!” Tristan yells, snatching the paper from her grip and staring at it.Not a match. No connection at all.If he sat down for a minute and actually became honest with himself, he would be able to admit that he’s completely crushed. Not only because the twins aren’t his, but because that would mean that Elena had them with someone else.Someone that she met shortly after she left.Is it really Alexander? Is it someone else?Or is this test somehow fake?“Are you sure you left the samples properly?” He can’t help but ask. “Are you sure that you saw them take it?”The crazy light in his mother’s eyes only grows stronger. “So you think that they messed it up somehow? You think this isn’t the real result?” She steps closer to him. “You want them too, don’t you? Imagine what would happen if you manage to take them from Elena successfully—”“Stop.” He rakes through his hair. This is the worst conflicting feeling he has ever experienced. “That’s not

Tristan’s POVI can’t move. Not out of fear. Not out of anger. But out of shock.This is the last thing I would expect from Alexander. Yes, I hated him. Yes, I’ve been jealous of him. But only because I’ve seen how well he’s treated Elena and the twins. In my mind, even though I hated his guts, he’s still a good person. This is the man who took a bullet for Elena without question, after all.But all I see on his face right now is pure selfishness.“Elena wouldn’t come to me if she didn’t need this,” I say in a low voice. “I don’t think it has anything to do with sales. Am I correct?”“Does it fucking matter?” he hisses at me. “The only thing that matters is you staying the fuck away from Elena.”I back off from him. Just one small step. “No, actually. It matters why she came to me in the first place. I know Elena is a smart businesswoman—she won’t come here out of the goodness of her heart. Not to help me. I know what I’ve done and I earned every bit of hate she feels for me—”“Do you
