NovelEnglishChapter 298: Connor had concealed the truth about his marriage to Marissa from Arabella. He knew that if she discovered the truth, it would seriously affect her health. However, he couldn't keep the existence of the two children a secret. Marissa's nature wouldn't allow the kids to live hidden lives, as she couldn't bear to make them suffer that way. Therefore, Connor didn't agree with Domenic's suggestion to clear the rumors online or to ask Marissa to conceal the children's identities—Marissa would never agree to that.
In response to Arabella's inquiry, Connor chose honesty, saying, “Grandma, the news online is true. The two children are indeed Tiffany's. Based on their ages, they were born when she was eighteen." "So?" Arabella asked eagerly.

I won't bring the two children into the Daniels family, nor will I..." Discover fresh chapters galHowever, before he could finish, Arabella patted him on the forehead. Connor was stunned, unable to grasp her meaning. In fact, he didn't resent the two children. As long as Marissa hadn't had them with another man, he was willing to raise them. It didn't concern him if Tiffany had a baby with someone else. The children were related to Marissa by blood, and he was willing to love them despite any ridicule or gossip about his reputation or image. Previously, he hadn't brought the children into the Daniels family mainly because he believed Arabella wouldn't accept them. She usually prioritized the bloodline, and the Daniels family's children couldn't be left outside while children from other families couldn't stay in the Daniels household.
Connor had assured Arabella he wouldn't bring the children back because he feared she might becupset and ill. However, after his promise, Arabella grew angrier and slapped him on the forehead. Besides Connor, Domenic, Marc, Terry, Cade, and the servants were also bewildered.
After a moment of silence, Connor cautiously said, "Grandma, if there's anything you want, just tell me. I'll do it." "Will you really listen to me?" Arabella asked, glaring.
"Yes, as long as it makes you happy, I'll do anything," Connor replied.
Arabella immediately demanded, “Then bring Tiffany's two kids back to the Daniels family. Treat them well!" Connor's astonishment was palpable. A collective shock rippled through the others. Was Arabella becoming senile? Did she understand the ramifications of bringing the two children back to the Daniels family? This implied that Connor accepted his wife's romantic involvement with another man before marriage and was prepared to take on the role of the children's stepfather.
The idea of an average man marrying a woman who had been previously wed and embracing her children was awkward enough, let alone for someone of Connor's stature. He risked becoming the subject of widespread ridicule.

Connor didn't know how to respond. His own desires seemed secondary to Arabella's intentions. Aftera M moment's hesitation, he asked, "Grandma, I'm struggling to comprehend your perspective. Could you please elaborate on your thoughts?"
