Before Theodore left, he made an agreement with the four children: they were not to go near the water, they had to listen to Brandon, and they had to wait obediently for his return.
The children happily agreed and obediently squatted by the water bucket, watching Brandon fish.
When Theodore returned to the vi and was about to get into his car, he saw Grace standing anxiously by his car. He looked at her gently and asked, "Grace, what''s wrong?"
Grace bit her lip and asked, "Theodore, can I go to the hospital with you?"
"Get in the car," Theodore said, tilting his head to indicate she should get in.
The car drove off towards Eternal Love Hospital. Inside the car, Grace''s hands were tightly sped together.
Theodore chuckled, startling Grace.
Since Phoebe divorced him, she had rarely seen him smile. "Theodore, will you me me? I didn''t push her just now."
"I know," Theodore said.
Grace was surprised this time. She stared at Theodore in a daze and stammered, "I thought you would be like Mom and unhesitatingly choose to believe Madison."
"Madison has be increasingly irritable and domineering over the past two years. You usually avoid her and wouldn''t confront her directly, let alone push her down the stairs in front of everyone," Theodore said.
Grace''s eyes immediately filled with tears, as if she had been wronged and finally understood. Tears streamed down her face.
"Theodore, thank you for believing in me."
Theodore hesitated for a moment but then reached out to pat her shoulder. "Grace, Madison has lived with us for twenty years, and taking care of her has be a habit. We may have overlooked you, but don''t take it to heart. We do care about you, understand?"
Grace sobbed, "I''m afraid I''m not doing well enough to be epted by you. I..." The Sullivan family wasn''t her home, and neither was the Reynolds family. Although she lived there, she could feel that they hadn''t truly epted her.
Especially the way Taylor looked at her just now, which made her sad and disheartened.
Theodore sighed helplessly, "Don''t overthink it. You are my sister, and we will definitely stand by you."
Shortly after Theodore''s car left the estate, Edward''s car arrived. He got out of the car, and Riley quickly approached him.
"Mr. Vanderbilt, you''re here. Madison is not at home right now," Riley said, her expression a bit evasive.
The incident of Madison being pushed down the stairs by Grace was a family scandal, and with the owners not at home, she didn''t want to mention it to Edward.
Edward said gently, "Is that so? What about Theodore?"
"Theodore is not here."
Edward frowned slightly. "This morning, when Theodore dropped Evelyn off at our house, I heard he was bringing the kids to the estate to y. I thought I''de to see them. Hasn''t he arrived yet?"
He looked around and indeed didn''t see Theodore''s Maybach.
Riley cleared her throat. "Mr. Brandon Reynolds took them to fish by theke.
Theodore had something to do and left. By the way, Madison..."
"Is that so? Then I''ll go to theke to take a look," Edward interrupted Riley and turned to walk towards theke.
Riley opened her mouth but swallowed the words "went to the hospital" and quickly followed Edward to theke.

At theke, Edward saw Hubert, Boris, Noomi, and Ethan sitting on a nket, eating snacks and chatting with Brandon.
Brandon wasughing at their cute remarks, and the scene was warm and harmonious. Edward squinted his eyes, finding the scene particrly ring. Noomi turned around and saw Edward. She immediately got up and ran over.
"Uncle Edward, you haven''t visited us in a long time. I missed you so much."
Edward bent down to pick up Noomi and affectionately kissed her cheek. "I missed you too, but I''ve been busy and couldn''t find the time to visit you."
Hubert and Boris sat on the nket, smiling at Edward and calling out to him.
Edward, holding Noomi, walked over to Brandon. "Mr. Reynolds, you''re in a good mood. Wow, you''ve caught so many fish. We can make fish soup tonight."
"Why would we make fish soup? The fish are so cute," Boris said, puzzled.
Edward paused, and Brandonughed. "Boris is right. The fish are so cute. I''ll release themter. We won''t eat them." Boris smiled.
Brandon looked up at the tall Edward. "By the way, didn''t you go to the hospital? Why are you here at the estate?"
"Hospital?" Edward was puzzled.
Brandon nodded. "Madison fell down the stairs and was reportedly seriously injured. Aren''t you two dating? Shouldn''t you go see her?"
Edward really didn''t want to see Madison. He came to the estate today specifically to annoy Theodore, but he wasn''t there.

He bent down to put Noomi back on the nket. "I didn''t know. Brandon, which hospital is she in? I''ll go see her."
"Eternal Love Hospital. You should go," Brandon said, turning back to watch theke.
Edward looked at the back of Brandon''s head, a cold glint shing across his face. When he looked at Hubert, Boris, and Noomi again, he wore a warm smile.
"I have to go now. You all listen to Brandon and don''t be naughty, okay?"
"We''ll be good," Boris immediately replied.
"We won''t bother Brandon," Noomi said obediently.
Edward straightened up, said goodbye to Brandon, and walked towards the vi. After
a few steps, he stopped and looked back at the backs of the kids, and Brandon,
clenching his fists.
He hadn''t expected Theodore to ept the triplets so quickly and bring them to the estate. But from Brandon''s attitude, it seemed he didn''t suspect that they were Theodore''s children.
Only he knew this secret, and he wouldn''t let them reunite.
He turned and walked away quickly. After he left, Brandon suddenly looked back at his retreating figure. After a moment, he looked at Hubert, Boris, and Noomi.
Hubert, Boris, and Noomi sat in the same posture, their eyes bright as they watched theke, seemingly hoping he would catch a big fish.
He smiled. Last night, he had thought Taylor was crazy for being too excited to sleep. Today, he experienced the joy of spending time with the children.
Hubert, Boris, and Noomi were indeed very well-behaved. They had promised Theodore they would listen to him and had been sitting there without moving. For children their age, they were unusually obedient.
But they weren''t the kind of dull children. Give them a deck of cards, and they could y simple games for hours. They were really easy to take care of.
Brandon suddenly found himself very fond of them!
