Chapter 24
When Felicity heard of Christina's name, she immediately held her breath. On the day she returned to her home, she especially went to the Warner Family to retrieve her mother's remnants. Still, she wouldn't have thought that this woman would forcefully throw them out of the house.
Christina said bitterly that day that she wanted to burn all of her mother's things.
It had already been two days, but Felicity didn't know if she had really burned the things left behind for her by her mother. Thinking of this, Felicity's eyes grew hot, and tears of grievance and sadness rolled down on her face.
Seeing her tears, Edward frowned and said lowly, "You just need to tell me the truth, and I have no other intentions."
"I beg you... Can you please let me and the children go back home? Don't take them away from me." Felicity felt wronged in her heart, and even her tone became weaker and gentler.
She really had no other way. Facing this powerful and heartless man in front of her, she only had the idea to beg him.
"And if I say no?" Edward's voice was cold, without a single trace of mercy.
Felicity's tears were immediately withdrawn, and she stood up in anger, "Then I'll sue you."
"You can't sue me. I have a powerful team of lawyers behind me. Besides, in this city, even in the entire country, no one dares to receive your case, do you understand?" Edward arrogantly raised his eyebrows and sneered.
This woman was really overestimating herself, and she actually wanted to sue him?
Felicity knew that he wasn't just threatening her with these words, maybe it was the truth.
How could she, a woman with nothing, contend against the wealth and power that this man possessed?
Could it be that she was going to watch as he snatched away her children?
No, she couldn't unless she died.
Otherwise, she must get her children back.
Felicity lowered her head, remained silent, and was unable to speak.
Edward's fingers knocked on the chair's support, his deep and sharp eyes locked onto the woman in front of him.
She was still wearing a black job suit with a light pink shirt inside. She was wearing a tight skirt that wrapped around her straight snow—white legs. At the moment, she was sitting opposite to him. The light in his eyes shone.
Her long black hair was unbound and scattered around her shoulders. Due to the argument earlier, it was a bit messy right now.
She was still very young, barely in her early twenties. It was hard to believe that she was already the mother of two four—year—old babies.
The little snow—white face, a pair of clear black eyes and a pure appearance, were still very captivating and charming.
Just when the atmosphere was very awkward, a cell phone rang.
It was from Felicity. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Felicity was currently lowering her head in sadness, so she did not realize that the man opposite her had sized her up from head to toe.
She found her cell phone in her bag and pressed it directly to her ear.
"Brother Calvin?" Her beautiful face flashed with a trace of a surprise because of the man who made the call.
Edward's eyes lightly swept to another place, but he heard her sweet call. His gaze once again fixated on her.
She called him so sweetly, so their relationship must not be ordinary.
"At night? Alright, I'll try my best to get there." Felicity never thought that her childhood friend, Calvin, would actually call her at this time and even invite her to dinner together.
After not seeing each other for so many years, back then, when she had gone abroad, she did not even
say a single goodbye. Felicity felt really guilty.
If she ever had the chance to see him again, she really wanted to apologize for leaving but not having told him earlier.
After hanging up, Felicity once again asked Edward, "Quickly get my children back here. I still have things to do tonight, so I don't have time to waste."
Of course, Edward knew what urgent matter she had at night, and that she could not wait to see the man.
Hmph, to agree to meet with a man so quickly, he really doubted her pureness.
"If you're anxious, go and find them by yourself!" Edward did not know where he got bored, his hands spread out, as though he would do nothing to help her.
"You ... This is too rude of you!" Felicity was so angry that after cursing, she turned around and randomly picked a direction to run out.
She would find them by herself, even if she had to turn the place over, she would find the children.
Edward looked in the direction the woman ran in, and his thin lips interestingly lifted up.
She really intended to find her own daughter on her own. What an idiot.
Once Felicity stepped out of the living room, she immediately felt as if she had walked into a vast and mysterious palace.
Oh god, who would set up their own home to be like a mystery palace? This was too abnormal! Just like that bastard's character.
Since she had already run out, Felicity would definitely not going back and beg him.
She could only grit her teeth in anger. As she ran forward, she yelled out the name of her son and daughter.
However, no matter how long she ran and shouted, she couldn't hear the children's response. She couldn't help but already be in a panic.
It's over. Felicity was afraid that she couldn't even find the children and got lost.
Felicity was determined to not give up and walked a few more rounds. Her throat was already hoarse, and her legs were sore, but she still did not find the children.
She leaned against a white jade pillar in frustration and slowly squatted down.
With both hands on her face, she looked like she had suffered a setback. The sight of it was enough to make people feel sorry for her.
"Abraham, Arya, where are you? Hurry up and come here, Mummy misses you. "She sobbed softly, like a child.
Edward stood on the second floor's balcony and put his hand inside the pouch of his suit pants as he peeked at his own garden from above.
In the distance, he saw the woman who was curled up into a ball under the pillar. Her shoulders were heaving, and she was visibly crying again.
Sigh, why all women's lacrimal ducts so developed? Crying all the time, what a bunch of creatures!
Initially, he didn't want to deal with her. Let her cry on her own.
However, he thought of what the children had said. He had promised them that he wouldn't bully her.
If she cried until her eyes were swollen, then no matter how small the children were, they would be able to see that there was something that happened between them.
Thinking about it, Edward walked in front of Felicity with a serious face.
As if he was looking at a pitiful puppy, he used his foot to lightly kick her leg and said, "Stand up, I'll bring you to find them."
"Really?" She had been like a pitiful bug just a moment ago, but now when she heard the man's words, she immediately jumped up from the ground.
It was apparent that she was desperate. When she suddenly heard that he was willing to help her, that feeling of joy rushed into her brain. Felicity immediately forgot how despicable and shameless a man he was.
Edward's brows became even more furrowed, and he truly did not understand what the woman was thinking in her mind.
It was just that he was going to take her to the children, but she actually showed such a happy expression on her face.
Of course, it was only for a second, and Felicity's face tensed up again.
She felt foolish about herself. Why should she be grateful to him? He was the one who took the children away.
"Follow me!" Edward strode forward, quickly heading towards a corridor.
Although Felicity's legs were tired, she still quickly followed behind him.
Her heart was set on meeting the children, and she felt happy.
It was unknown if the man was doing that on purpose, and he suddenly stopped when he was walking.
Felicity was wholeheartedly thinking of children, so naturally, she didn't have the time to stop and directly crashed into the man's back.
Her nose began to hurt because of the hit. Was this man's body made of iron? Why was it so hard?
