Surprised Wife With Twins
Chapter 443 Children Are Not Always Honest

Linda returned to the vice president's office with a bright smile as shehad found a common hobby with Finnley.

Since childhood, she had been fond of cartoons and sketching cartooncharacters in her spare time.

When in middle school, Linda sketched cartoons on her textbooks,which annoyed her teachers.

If she had won the fierce competition to replace a job in the cartoonindustry in the past, she wouldn't have worked for the Marsh Group.Recalling the cartoons she had seen just now, Linda thought Finnleywas adorable as he drew them in his company, which didn’t match hispublic image.

Linda was delighted to know more about her crush.

Rowan’s villa.

The pale moonlight fell through the window. The room where Ivan andSpencer stayed was lit brightly.

The night was deep.

Staring at the calendar on his phone, Ivan was lost in thought.

Seeing him furrowing his eyebrows, Jennifer asked tentatively, “What'swrong?”

He answered in a low voice. “It's my mother’s birthday today.”Spencer was also slightly taken aback, turning to check on him.

The room was blanketed by silence for several seconds.

They all recalled the scene filled with the gunpowder smell earlier inunison.

Squatting before Ivan, Jennifer gripped his hand and stared at him.“Why don't you call her and send your blessings? It'll help you improveyour relationship.”

Ivan thought about her suggestion for almost half a minute.

Finally, he dialed Aubree’s number.

After a short beep, the call was connected.

“Hello, Mom,” Ivan greeted her actively.

Aubree was in the study on the second floor. She had just told thebedtime stories to the children and sent them to sleep.

“Ehn,” she replied. What happened earlier in the daytime still upset her,as her son defended Spencer.

She had never liked Spencer.

lvan's expression eased. “Happy birthday, Mom.”

His words raised a slight pain in Aubree’s chest. She choked in sobs asshe didn’t expect him to remember it.

There was only silence on the phone.

Ivan didn’t know what else to talk about, his mind blank. “It's gettinglate. Good night.” Then he ended the call.

Aubree pinched her phone while standing in front of the window,stiffening.

She was about to ask him how he was doing and tell him about herworry.

However, seemingly Ivan couldn't wait to hang up the phone.

Aubree put her phone away tearfully, wondering when their relationshiphad become like this.

When Ivan was 17, he rushed into the fire to rescue her. Over theyears, he had looked for good doctors to cure her. He never gave up.They relied on each other. However, somehow, they had become notas close as before.

They never fought fiercely, and she failed to stop him from marryingJennifer.

Ivan won the battle.

However, the family affection between them was heavily impacted.Living room, Rowan'’s villa.

Jennifer calculated the time differences and dialed Alfie’s number,wondering if the children had gotten up.

The children’s room, Kelsington Bay.

Alfie and Diana lay on the bed after listening to the bedtime stories,almost falling asleep.

The sudden ringing tone woke Alfie up.

He raised his phone watch and checked the ID, realizing Jennifer wascalling.

Instantly, Alfie sat up and sobered. Holding his breath, he swiped toanswer, “Hello, Mommy."

“Are you still sleeping?” Jennifer was pretty sensitive, realizing theywere still in bed. “Auntie Madeleine made breakfast. Haven't you hadit?”

“Auntie Madeleine warmed the food in the pot for us.” Alfie explained, “Istudied till very late last night, so I slept in this morning.”

“Get up now!” Jennifer ordered, “You must go to bed and get up early.Auntie Madeleine made breakfast for you, so you must have it with her.Understand? It's the rule.”

“No. 10 of our family teachings. I got it. I'm getting up now,” Alfieanswered in a loud voice.

“Where's Diana?”
