Chapter 1749 Sad Goodbyes -2
Thinking of the past, Letivia sighed.
Even now, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it since making them too soft could lead to her children getting accidentally killed by the enemy.
No… what she regretted was that she didn't input herself more frequently than before.
Baymard had a good balance, teaching the children about the cruel realities of life while also keeping a part of their innocence intact.
Children here did not fear their parents to the point of trembling whenever they saw them.
No… children here used rational thinking and other trained abilities to ensure they stood firm no matter the challenges.
They didn't believe in putting others down to succeed.
They were taught the world is big enough for many geniuses. So why fight and scheme when you can use your brain for other things?
They were taught to never provoke but fight back hard when provoked.
These per se, might be the true differences between them and the children of the outside world.

"Sister Letivia!"
"Sister Letivia!"
"Sister Letivia!"
(^_^)
Looking at the little ones, Letivia wished she could have spent more time with them growing up.
Ironically, it was only when her husband brought in a Baymardian TV to his room back in Soma, that all of them gathered and acted freely for the first time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was the first time she saw childish expressions on their faces.
Thinking of it like this, can she say she was grateful to Baymard? Yes...very grateful.
Her time on Baymard taught her that life was too short to keep regrets.
She always wanted to get very close to them, so why not start now? There are more important things than wealth and power in this world.
Letivia was glad she followed her heart because her daughters and nephew were now closer to her than ever once she put in the effort.
Her Twin sister, Gordon's first wife, also had the same results with her cute little son.
Unlike other households that had wives tearing themselves apart, Letivia and Octivia were Twins who had always been inseparable when they were younger.
That's why they wanted to marry Gordon, ensuring they stood close.
So why would they ever fight themselves over him? Sure they both fell in love with him, but so what?
It's TRUE that 99% of twins in these times turn against each other, sometimes killing the other to get a man's attention.
But not them.
They worked together, ensuring peace reigned in their new home.
And sure enough, Gordon never married another woman.
Only they were his brides.
Although they were twins, Letivia had black hair with golden highlights while Octivia had golden hair with black highlights instead.
Letivia's eyes were dark blackish-brown, while Octivia's were very pale and very light brown.
She had a mole on her upper left brow while her sister had a mole on her lower right brow.
Their eyebrows were also slightly different shades of black.
Again, her voice was a little deeper than Octivia's.
So even though they had exactly the same face, it was quite easy to tell who was who.
She treated Octivia's children like hers, and Octivia did the same with her children too.
Before Baymard, she thought she was complete and satisfied.
Only after spending time in the orphanage did she know how much she missed during their childhood.

"Sister Letivia..." A soft voice called out from within the crowd. It was her favorite little girl.
"Sister Levitia... Is it true that you're going away?"
Tears hung in the little girl's big googly eyes, as she couldn't believe what she overheard.
Why? Why does sister Letivia have to go? The other children were also shocked, soon feeling their eyes turn moist too.
"This..."
Letivia was helpless, and also a little unwilling to leave too.
It was strange how these children all had places in her heart in such a short time.
"Alright. You caught me. I'm coming, but not for good. You see, I have family to take care of back home, so I must rush and do that fast. And when I have time, I will return... So this isn't goodbye, right?"
Woooooooo~
Everyone hugged her hard, crying till they began choking on their tears.
Sigh...
Letivia said nothing, rubbing the backs of some.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThese children were 3~5.
All very cute and warm.
After putting them to sleep, Letivia quietly went to back her things from her workstation.
She wanted to spend more days with them, but she knew that if she did, parting might be harder on their little selves.
Luckily, during these past 5 days, she has even worked closely with her replacement, telling them what the children like and what to do when they're naughty.
Once she was done, she quickly headed to the bank and completed her final gifts for them.
With Landon's aid, she was able to open a trust fund with all their names written on it.
Only when they turn 15, will they be eligible for their percentage in the fund.
Every year, she will try to send in more.
They won't even know they have it till they turn 15.
She wrote letters for each of them and even bought their favorite toys too.
When they get older, they might no longer play with toys, but the memory will always be there. She also left several pictures of her and all of them during Christmas time.
With everything set and done, Letivia went to pick up her daughter from Part-time Stable caretaker duties.
Her sister should still be attending lessons at the Baymardian Theatre, Arts, & Beauty Academy.
As for her nephew, the little brat was working in the place she seemed not to be able to get go of.
That's right. He was working on the set of Fear Factor!
Every day, he would watch people eat worms and complete ridiculous challenges to win big bucks.
Her little nephew was already drawn to the world of movie and TV making.
Anyway, with 4 days left, the family planned to go shopping and visit several sites for the last time before leaving for good.
Indeed, their time here was the best they've ever had in their lives.
Looking up to the dull sunlight piercing through the clouds, Letivia let out a warm smile, feeling blessed.
'Thank you, Baymard... Thank you, Your Majesty Landon for making our family grow closer than ever.'
