?Chapter 286:


    As Melinda spoke, she pulled out a photo. “Take a look at this. It’s a picture I snapped at a mall earlier today.” In the photo, Le was strolling around the mall with two children, Lawrence and Lindsay. Since the children were new additions to the Sanchez family and hadn’t brought any belongings with them, they were still dressed in the clothes they had worn on the Sunrise. Rachel had asked Le to buy new outfits for them.


    Le, who was quite fond of the children, decided to take them shopping at the mall. It was their first time out in public, and as soon as they stepped into the mall, they were fascinated by everything, joyfully running around. Le indulged them, letting them choose whatever they fancied and swiping her card without a second thought. With her charm and the two adorable kids by her side, she naturally turned heads. Melinda, who happened to be at the mall as well, witnessed the entire scene.


    Handing the picture to Aelfric, Melinda asked, “Can you guess who these little ones’ mother is?” Aelfric nced at the photo and then looked back at Melinda. “You’re not about to tell me it’s Tiffany, are you?”


    “Bingo!” Melinda eximed. “When someone asked Le whose kids they were, Le imed they were her sister’s. I was right behind Le and overheard everything! Le only has a brother, Shaun. So, where on earth did this mystery sister spring from? I think she was referring to her cousin Tiffany! Riss has imed she’s never had children, yet Tiffany has two of her own. Therefore, Tiffany can’t possibly be Riss!”

    Derek’s mind buzzed with spection about whether Marissa had been hiding the existence of the children from him.


    Aelfric furrowed his brow thoughtfully, methodically assembling the pieces of the puzzle. “These little ones seem to be around four years old. If they were Tiffany’s, she would have been just eighteen when they were born. However, by the time she turned twenty, she was engaged to Dennis, and there was never a hint of any children.”


    Neil, equally baffled, chimed in, “I never heard a whisper about her having kids. When she was eighteen, she was betrothed to a young man from the McCoy family. Could these children be his? No, that’s not possible.”


    Dismissing the idea immediately, Neil added, “If she had been pregnant with his children, the engagement wouldn’t have fallen through, and the McCoy family wouldn’t have just ignored two kids. Perhaps she raised them in secret during those years? No, that doesn’t add up either.” Neil shook his head in disagreement. “If she had been pregnant back then, the gossip mill would have been in overdrive. There were no signs of a baby bump, no rumors of her giving birth anywhere.”


    After pondering for a moment longer, Neil turned to Melinda. “Did Le ever mention where these two little ones came from?”


    “Not really,” Melinda replied, shaking her head. “But remember when Tiffany was eighteen and her engagement was called off? Sansa sent her away to the countryside to reflect on herself. Could it be that she had these kids during that time, with someone else?”


    Neil knitted his brows in contemtion before nodding. “If those two little ones were indeed hers, they must have been born during her time in the countryside. Otherwise, Sansa kept such a close watch on her that there was no opportunity for her to end up in that situation.”


    Rubbing his chin, Neil was still lost in thought. “I’m itching to find out who the father of these kids is now. Haha. Oh, this is too hrious! If these kids truly belong to Tiffany, Connor’s in for a big surprise. I’m eagerly anticipating his reaction! Haha… I’m going to scoop up those kids and head straight over to my grandma’s to spill the beans!”


    With that, Neil was about to dash out the door
