Surprised Wife With Twins
Chapter 208 I'll Never Let Her Carry the Burdens Alone

Jordan squatted in front of the kids, patting on their shoulders. "Couldyou knock on the door? Mr. Marsh's hand is bleeding. I want tobandage it for him.” He sounded like he was asking them for theirpermission.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened.

Ivan appeared at the door. "Come in." He didn't want to worry hischildren as he had heard them call him earlier.

"Daddy!

"Ehn,"” he answered.

The children had no idea their mother was gone and asked himworriedly, "How did you get hurt, Daddy?"

The wound on his right hand was scabbed partially, but blood was stilloozing. The children could feel his pain by just looking at it.

Without answering them, Ivan walked into his bedroom.

Jordan followed him, and so did the children.

Sitting on a couch next to the window, Ivan looked depressed, althoughhe had tried to repress it in his children’s presence.

Jordan squatted in front of him, opened the first-aid kit, and held hisbloody hand. He started to sterilize the wound.

“I'l be gentle," said Jordan with concern.

Ivan replied, "I wouldn't mind if it was not bandaged.” The little pain wasnothing compared to the pang in his heart.

The children stood beside him, boldly holding his arm to cooperate withJordan while watching.

"Daddy, what happened? Did you fight with someone?" Alfie looked athim in confusion. "Did you lose?"

Ivan stared at him, rubbing his head. "I didn't have a fight." Then heasked gently, "Alfie, Diana, where has Mommy gone? Do you know herwhereabouts?"

Alfie thought for a while and exchanged a glance with Diana.

Diana asked, "Is she gone?"

Alfie asked, "That's really quick, isn't it?"

Ivan frowned, realizing the children might know her whereabouts. Hopeappeared in his eyes again.

"Mommy must be on a trip," Alfie answered calmly, “A few days ago,she asked if we would prefer to go with her or stay with you when shewent to travel to a faraway place."

lvan's heart sank, realizing that Jennifer was saying goodbye to them inthat way.

He whispered, "How did you guys answer her?"

"Mommy has suffered a lot in these years, so we decided to let her takea break. We didn't want to be a drag.”

"Right. We chose to be with you, Daddy. Daddy, you should take us outto play every day."

lvan's heart tightened.

He wondered whether Jennifer would have taken the children away ifthey chose to travel with her.

Jordan bandaged his hand and knotted the white gauze.

Ivan said, "Jordan, can you take the children out and ask Marry to sendthem to bed?"

"Good night, Daddy."

The children were sensible, leaving the room with Jordan.

However, Finnley entered.

Ivan didn't expect him to come. He reminded Finnley, “Please close thedoor."

Finnley followed his order and walked toward Ivan. Seeing hisbandaged hand, he asked anxiously, "What happened, sir? Why didyou get injured?"

"Nothing. Found anything?"

Finnley answered, "Not yet so far. I can't get the boarding informationor any bus records. The surveillance cameras on the road fromEmerald Bay were all broken."

It was evident that Jennifer's traces were erased purposely.

lvan's eyes became icy and sharp. "Go on the investigation. Even if wehave to turn Arkpool City upside down, I must replace her. No matter whathappens, I'll confront it with her. I'll never let her carry the burdensalone.”

"Yes, we are still investigating.” Finnley sighed. "Sir, Madam Aubreeasked me to come to see you. She's worried about you."

Worried?

Ivan found it utterly ridiculous.
