?Chapter 247:


    Marissa hesitated before responding to Ruth’s question, unwilling to lie in front of the children. Instead, she decided to introduce them. “Sweethearts, this is your great-grandmother. Say hello!”


    “Great-grandma!” The children cheerfully greeted Ruth


    Noting Marissa’s pause, Ruth tactfully redirected the conversation. Engaging warmly with the children, she asked, “Could you kindly share your names with me?”


    “I’m Lawrence.”


    “I’m Lindsay.”


    “Those are splendid names!” Ruth eximed with delight. Regardless of paternity, both children were cherished members of the Sanchez family, weed with affection


    ???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    Ruth had wanted to be a great-grandparent for a while now, but Le was still too young, and Shaun, despite being of suitable age, remained unmarried. The unexpected arrival of these two great-grandchildren filled Ruth with immense joy


    With a cheerful chuckle, Ruth asked, “Are you hungry, my dears? Shall we proceed to breakfast?”


    “Yes!” the children chimed in their sweet, innocent voices


    Taking their hands, Ruth led them toward the dining room. As they disappeared, Le yfullymented, “Looks like Grandma’s found new favorites! She’s fully focused on her great-grandchildren now; I fear I’ve lost her favor.”


    Rachel chuckled, affectionately tousling her daughter’s hair. “Oh, Le, you’re all grown up. Don’t envy those children. Your grandmother showered you with affection when you were their age!”


    Le grinned. “Those little ones are just irresistible. I want to join in on the fun! Grandma shouldn’t hog all the fun.”


    With that, Le dashed into the dining room. Rachel followed close behind, muttering, “Le is quite a handful. I’d better keep an eye on her so she doesn’t startle those two darlings!”


    Observing Rachel and Le depart, Daryl and Shaun, as if drawn by a maic force, proceeded into the dining room as well, leaving Marissa alone. Amidst the family’s attention and affection for the enchanting children, Marissa chuckled and gently tapped her nose, feeling she had lost their favor


    The arrival of the two kids had brightened the mansion, their presence like radiant sunshine lifting everyone’s spirits. Marissa followed the group into the dining room, but upon entering, she realized there was no ce for her close to the children. The family was wholly engrossed in pampering and conversing with the kids, leaving only a solitary corner for her. Despite her desire to be closer to the children, finding a way to fit in proved futile. With a resigned smile, she settled into the final avable seat and quietly enjoyed her solitary breakfast


    After the meal, Le discreetly led the two children outside, suggesting a stroll in the garden. However, her true motive was to enjoy theirpany for some recreational activities


    As the chatter andughter faded, tranquility settled upon the house. Ruth gently asked Marissa once more, “Tiffany, who is the father of these little ones?”


    “Well…” Marissa paused, carefully considering her response. She refrained from fabricating a tale that could potentially harm Tiffany, the biological mother of the children


    Observing Marissa’s hesitation, Rachel intervened. “Ruth, let’s not pressure Tiffany if she’s not prepared to disclose. No matter who the kids’ father is, they are still part of the Sanchez family, and we’ll cherish them.”


    “Indeed. The details of paternity are inconsequential. We will shower them with affection regardless,” Daryl added, agreeing with Rachel. Understanding the unspoken message, Ruth decided to abandon the topic of the children’s father. However, after a momentary pause, she asked another question. “Tiffany, when do you n to divorce Connor?”
