“Mr. Zeller, we’ve already obtained Ms. Shelley’s medical records from abroad.”

Inside the office of the CEO of Zeller Group, Timothy placed a document in front of Colton.

Colton carefully read the contents of the report, words like “difficult labor,” “heavy bleeding,” and “shock” sent chills down his spine. He had never imagined that Cynthia had endured unimaginable pain to give birth to their two children.

A surge of anger welled up in his heart. How dare she have my children without my consent? Who does she think she is? She even nearly lost her own life!

“Have someone prepare two children’s rooms,” Colton instructed Timothy, suppressing his anger.

Timothy nodded, but before he left, he found himself in a rare predicament. “Mr. Zeller… where should the children’s rooms be set up?”

If Ms. Larson were to replace out that Mr. Zeller and Ms. Shelley have two children…

Colton furrowed his brows, falling silent for a moment. “Let’s set them up at the Zeller manor for now. If Grandpa asks, we’ll tell him the truth.”

The two were deep in conversation when the secretary knocked and entered. “Mr. Zeller, Ms. Shelley has arrived.”

Colton’s eyes narrowed dangerously at once. “Let her in.”

Standing at the door, Cynthia took a deep breath. She pushed the door open and looked toward Colton.

Over the course of those three years, she had stepped into this office countless times. Each visit was accompanied by a meal made with heartfelt intentions. Regrettably, Colton had -never once tasted it.

Five years had passed, yet Colton’s office had surprisingly undergone little cha

Cynthia took a gentle sniff of the air. The familiar fragrance of the past was no longer there.

Seeing her actions, Colton was struck by a thought. He suddenly said, “Were you the one who used to buy the essential oil for my office? After you left, the people in the secretarial office searched for a long time but couldn’t replace the same scent.”

Cynthia said nonchalantly, “Is that so? I seem to have forgotten.”

In reality, she had specifically consulted a traditional medicine practitioner for that particular essential oil. She had even sought the expertise of an aromachologist for its creation. It was not only designed to calm the mind but also to enhance sleep quality and replenish vitality.

It was just that Colton was unaware.

Colton’s gaze darkened slightly. The Cynthia of the past had always put his needs first without any conditions. But the woman he saw now always wore a detached expression as if she wanted nothing to do with him.

The two arrived at the reception room, and without beating around the bush, Cynthia stated, “There’s no way I’m giving you custody of our children.”

They were her little angels, whom she had brought into this world against all odds, and she would never let anyone take them away from her.

Cynthia was like a hedgehog with all its quills pointed at him. Colton’s anxiety intensified. He slowly walked over to Cynthia, looking down at her from above. “Do you think you still have the power to choose at this point?”

Cynthia’s body stiffened.

Their gazes met, and in each other’s eyes, they both saw an unwavering determination to win.

The atmosphere in the modestly sized reception room suddenly took a peculiar turn.

“I want to publicly acknowledge both children.” Colton casually pulled out a cigarette, holding it in his hand without lighting it.

Cynthia hadn’t expected him to make such a demand. “Impossible.”

Colton laughed. “Cynthia, do you think I’m negotiating with you?” He tossed the cigarette back onto the table. “You should know it’s no trouble at all for me to take the children away.”

Cynthia’s face was a mask of distress. She abruptly stood up. “Colton, don’t forget you’re already engaged. What will happen to your fiancée if the children’s identities vealed?”

Elsa was never one to be trifled with. There was no telling if she would harm the children.

Colton furrowed his brows.

Seeing that, Cynthia hurriedly continued, “You and Elsa will eventually have your own child. When that time comes, how will Lukas and Luna fend for themselves? Perhaps it would be better if-”

Her words were interrupted by the ring of her phone. The voice of the Phillip came through
