?Chapter 1024:


    To everyone watching, the identities of these two children were shrouded inplexity.


    They were Tiffany’s children, fathered by an unknown man, but now being raised by the Daniels family.


    Meanwhile, Tiffany and Connor had divorced, adding anotheryer of confusion to the story.


    A messy, tangled situation indeed.


    Marissa quickly knelt down, her hands reaching out to gently touch the children’s faces as she spoke in a soft,forting tone.


    Lawrence, clearly confused, asked, “Mommy, you said you had to go on a business trip for a while and couldn’t stay at home.

    But why did youe back and still not go home?”


    Lindsay, echoing his confusion, added, “Yeah, Mommy, why don’t you go home? We miss you so much.”


    The innocent questions, simple as they seemed, carried weight.


    To the adults listening, they hinted at secrets and sparked curiosity.


    Everyone assumed the children didn’t know that their mother had been kicked out of home by Connor.


    The only reason they were allowed to stay at the Daniels Manor was that Arabe had grown fond of them.


    But Marissa wasn’t concerned with what others thought or spected.


    She focused only on soothing the children.


    “Mommy had to pick up your grandpa, which is why I haven’te home yet,” she exined softly.


    “Grandpa?” Lawrence blinked, his eyes wide with confusion.


    “Do we have a grandpa?” Lindsay asked, her voice full of uncertainty.


    “I thought we only had a grandma and no grandpa.”


    Marissa chuckled softly, her voice warm as she told them, “Who told you that? You’ve always had a grandpa.


    He was working overseas before, so you never got to meet him.


    But now he’s back.


    Look, that man over there—he’s your grandpa.”


    She gestured toward Paul, and the children quickly turned to look in his direction.


    When they saw Paul—tall, strong, and with amanding presence—their eyes grew wide with surprise.


    “Wow, what a cool grandpa!” Lindsay gasped, her voice filled with admiration.


    “Grandpa looks like a god!” Lawrence added, his eyes sparkling.


    The innocentpliments brought a burst ofughter from Paul, his heart lifted by their pure, unguarded words.
