?Chapter 299:
Observing Connor’s bewildered expression, Arabe admonished him, “I’ve invested so much in raising you and instilling important life lessons. Is this the extent of your understanding and tolerance?” Exhaling a frustrated sigh, she added, “You’re a disappointment.”
Connor absorbed the rebuke in silence. Meanwhile, the others remained silent.
Arabe continued, “Tiffany endured so much hardship, growing up without parental affection and suffering under the cruelty of that dreadful woman, Sansa. She likely had the two children due to being ensnared in Sansa’s wicked scheme.”
Just mentioning Sansa ignited Arabe’s righteous fury. She resumed her counsel to Connor. “It’s evident you’re quite taken with her now. But if your feelings are genuine, you must ept all aspects of her, including her past. No matter how many children she bore with others before, you must embrace them as your own.”
Connor suppressed augh, surprised by Arabe’s progressive stance. The others shared his amazement, realizing they paled inparison to Arabe’s exceptional outlook.

Not entirely content with her previous reprimand, Arabe yfully tapped Connor’s forehead. “You cunning rascal! You deceived mest night, didn’t you? nning to abandon the children and keep their mother, hmm? And did you strike Tiffany when she rejected you?”
Connor couldn’t contain his amusement. “No, Grandma, I didn’t.”
“Then why did she depart in the dead of night?”
“Well, you see…” Connor struggled for a usible exnation and blurted out, “One of the kids woke up in the early hours, missing their mother, so she returned to the Sanchez family’s house.”
“In that case, why don’t you hasten and bring those two kids over here?” Arabe suggested.
“Consider it done, Grandma.”
“Quickly now!”
“Understood, Grandma.”
“It’s a wise decision to wee those two kids into our home. Then, I’ll have great-grandchildren to spoil, and you won’t need to fret about your wife leaving you unexpectedly. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?”
“Absolutely, Grandma!” Connor wholeheartedly agreed. Initially, he feared Arabe might not support the idea of taking in the children, potentially leading to a divorce with Marissa. But now, those worries had vanished, given Arabe’s exceptional understanding and foresight. At that moment, Connor burst intoughter.
“What’s amusing you, you mischievous rascal?” Arabe inquired, her tone serious.
“Oh, nothing. Grandma, your integrity, open-mindedness, and wisdom radiate brightly. I admire manymendable traits in you that I aspire to possess.”
“Pah! Enough with the ttery! Don’t assume you can always deceive me! Hurry and bring my daughter-inw and the two kids back. If you fail to retrieve them, there’s no need for you to return home either!”
“Understood. I’ll bring them back. Even if I must plead on my knees, I’ll ensure they’re back under your roof,” Connor said with a yful smile.
Arabe finally appeared content and let out a big yawn. The chaos caused by Marissa the previous night and the early morning awakening had left her weary from sleep deprivation.
Connor promptly offered his aid, stating, “Grandma, allow me to escort you back to your room for some rest.”
Fatigued, Arabe acquiesced as Connor guided her towards the main building. Along the way, she cautioned, “Don’t you dare attempt to deceive me.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma. When have I ever deceived you?” Connor responded, appearing slightly amused. After calming Arabe in her quarters for rest, Connor exhaled a sigh of relief. He no longer had to fret over Marissa broaching the divorce topic. If she dared, he could ask his grandmother to feign illness. Furthermore, there was no urgency to bring Marissa back. She would likely return to him in her sleepwalking state, a notion that amused Connor.
Meanwhile, Marissa had no idea what Connor was plotting. When she arrived at the airport with Le and the children, Rita had just disembarked from her private ne
