GETTING THE HEART OF THE CEO
Chapter 48

Upon reaching the entrance of Grandpa Hugo's mansion, Lindsey informed her bodyguards that they were safe there and would call them when they were ready to return to their mansion. Sussan welcomed them gently, and upon seeing their grandmother, the kids didn't hesitate to run to her.

Outside the mansion, someone observed them from a distance. "So, the prude had three kids. Interesting!"

Inside the mansion, people were joyous with the children. Grandpa Hugo was captivated by his great-grandchildren, looking at Lucas and Leno with devotion, as they resembled his son Kyle. He listened to Lucas speak, feeling like he had his young Kyle back. Luna stuck to her grandmother Sussan, who spoiled her, and Lindsey watched the scene with joy.

The atmosphere was interrupted when Kyle entered. He couldn't believe what his eyes saw-Lindsey with them confirmed his discovery. He stood still as his heart tried to escape his chest from the shock. He scrutinized each child, the boys identical to him at that age. The girl was the one who stole his heart, with her mother's facial features but his eye color and hair. He didn't know why, but he felt happy to be there. His eyes welled up with emotion, and he took a few steps towards them, softly pronouncing,

"Grandpa, you're a traitor!"

Everyone turned to look at him; they were so engrossed that they hadn't noticed the man in front of them. Kyle approached the children and bent down. Luna looked him in the eyes and sweetly smiled, a gesture that broke down the barriers around his heart. Tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Why cry, handsome boy?" Luna said with a tender voice.

"Because I have a beautiful lady in front of me," he mumbled, wiping his face with his fingers.

Lindsey was impressed, unsure of what to do. At some point, she had to tell Kyle about the existence of their children, but not like this, especially not in front of the kids. She sighed deeply to gather strength, stood up.

"My beloved grandson, it wasn't my place to tell you. Tell me, what are you doing here? Why didn't you let us know you were coming?" Grandpa asked.

He was about to respond but was interrupted by Lindsey.

"Kyle, can we talk privately?"

He smiled gently, stood up, and walked towards her, embracing her delicately, whispering in her ear,

"Thank you, my love, for this beautiful gift. I know I deceived you, and I had to face the consequences." He sighed several times and continued, "Do you tell our children who I am, or do I tell them?" Lindsey was startled, not expecting this reaction, let alone what he expressed. She anticipated complaints and shouts.

Kyle pulled away from her, running two fingers down her cheek, looking at her intently, waiting for an answer.

"I'll tell them! I thought you were going to kill me," she whispered softly.

He brought his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Of course, I'm going to kill you, but in a different way."

The grandfather cleared his throat, not hearing anything but observing the expressions of his great-grandchildren fixed on the couple. Kyle, with a smile, positioned himself next to Lindsey.

"Children! Do you remember what we talked about your dad?" she kept an eye on her children's reactions. All three nodded.

"This man beside me is Kyle Pratt-your dad!" Lindsey felt like a weight had been lifted off her, more so than she had imagined.

Kyle sat on the sofa without taking his eyes off his children. Luna was the first to take a few steps and stood in front of him. She got emotional upon hearing he was her dad, whispering with a sweet smile,

"I'm Luna Pratt! We have the same last name. Finally, I have a dad like my friends."

"Yes, my princess, I'm your dad." He stretched his strong arms and pulled the girl toward him, cuddling her against his chest while looking at his grandfather. "Thank you, Grandpa," he expressed his gratitude, suspecting that the children having his last name was the old man's doing.

"Yes, you are our father! You have to explain. Where were you all this time?" Leno asked, crossing his arms.

Kyle was even more surprised to see Lucas with his chin raised, gazing at him with cold and distant blue eyes. He arched an eyebrow, feeling like he was seeing himself.

Grandpa Hugo burst into laughter, knowing that his two great-grandsons wouldn't make things easy for his stupid grandson.

"Oh, Kyle! Leno and Lucas are your mini versions."

"Children! There are things that adults do that are not right. I can only tell you that I'm your dad, and I apologize for not being in your lives since you were born."

"I forgive you, Dad," whispered Luna softly, passing her little fingers over Kyle's face to wipe away some silent tears rolling down his cheeks.

"I forgive you too, but don't leave again," responded Leno with a firm voice, happy to know about his dad. He approached and leaned against his side.

Kyle wasted no time and hugged him to his chest, looking up to see Lucas. A sadness started to invade his heart due to the rejection of his other son.

"Alright! I hope you take care of us and Mom, or I'll make sure to do it and be the man who takes care of my family."

Everyone was surprised by the boy's response. Another laugh echoed in the room.

"That's my Lucas. Kyle, they didn't make it easy for you," Grandpa Hugo enjoyed the situation.

"Yes, my children, from today on, I'll take care of you and watch over you. Your siblings will be happy to know they have little brothers. Come and give me a hug." The boy walked toward him and allowed himself to be pampered.

Lindsey was startled when she heard the word 'siblings.' During her time in Florence, she prohibited her family and friends from mentioning anything about Kyle's life. The only thing she learned from her grandfather was how he unmasked Catrina and that his grandson didn't sleep with her; it was just a trap. A shiver ran down her spine as she mentally speculated, 'Did he get married? Does he have children with another woman? Why did he tell me those things in the office if he has a family?' She felt her chest tighten.

Kyle observed Lindsey's expressions, gesturing with his eyes to his grandfather and his mom not to say anything. He took out his mobile phone and called Max.

"Max! Take the kids out of the party and bring them urgently to Grandpa's house."

"As you command, boss."

"When the kids arrive, we'll move to the dining room for lunch," Sussan said.

Lindsey just sat in a chair, wanting to confront Kyle. If he has another family, why did he take advantage of her? For the sake of her children, she held back the urge to protest.
