Chapter 1243
“After giving birth to you two, I wasn’t in good health. He took care of you. Since I saw that he treated you two well, I didn’t stop you from treating him as your daddy. But he’s really not your daddy. He and I aren’t husband and wife, either. We’re just friends.”
Adrian and Irene were stunned.
Fia was worried that the children couldn’t take it, so she held their hands and gently said, “It doesn’t affect my love for you, alright? I love you two. I can’t lose either of you.”
“What about Daddy?” Adrian and Irene asked sadly.
Fia lowered her eyes. “Can’t you feel his love for you?”
Adrian said, “Daddy has always treated us very well.”
Irene also nodded. “You’re always so busy, Mommy. Daddy took care of us, and he never yelled at us.”
Fia let out a smile of relief. “That’s right. Even you know that he loves you, and that love isn’t fake.”
“But...” Adrian and Irene trailed off.
“But what?” Fia patted their little heads. “Why don’t you tell me, and I can explain it to you.”

Irene also nodded and asked, “Why don’t we follow your last name?”
Fia didn’t know how to explain it all to the kids. It was just too complicated.
“Who’s our daddy?” Adrian and Irene asked at the stime.
“Well...” Fia was stunned. She didn’t know how to answer that question just yet.
Adrian suddenly made a shocking conclusion. “Since you hate Uncle Maxwell and he has the scolored eyes as I have... Is he our daddy? Did he do something to you? Is that why you don’t want him?”
Fia looked at him with wide eyes and quickly rubbed her hands on his head.
“Adrian, you can be a movie director next time. You’re so good at making stories! Is this head of yours filled with so many dramas?”
“Mommy, I think so too,” Irene said as she looked at her pitifully. “Otherwise, why would you dislike Uncle Maxwell so much?”
“Because he’s not normal!” Fia could feel her mind getting overheated. The two of them were too mature and they could cup with anything.
But she wasn’t ready to lie to them yet.
Every tshe lied, she had to get herself prepared.
She looked at the twins’ earnest eyes, and she smiled with her eyes red.
“Why do you two think that he’s your daddy?”
The two children were silent.
Fia then said, “Think about it. He’s very rich since he owns a huge company! If he’s your real daddy, why did I leave with you after a divorce?
“A lot of girls wish their husbands were rich. Who would I abandon such a rich and powerful husband?”
The two children were slowly getting convinced.
Fia sighed and then massaged their heads.
Adrian suddenly yelled out, “Then why do our eyes look the same?”
Fia frowned and then said earnestly, “I don’t know why his eyes would look like that too. But baby, your eyes are because of a genetic mutation.”
“Really?” Adrian looked sad.

Her tone was full of self-blame.
The twins didn’t want their mom to be unhappy, so they chose to believe her and stopped talking about it.
...
Nighttime. Fia opened the door to the kids’ bedroom. She saw that they were sleeping soundly, and their blanket was neatly covering them.
She quietly closed the door and then sat in the living room.
When she took the children from Lucifer, he had already taught them well and she didn’t have to worry too much about them.
They would eat on their own, wash up, and wouldn’t even kick their blanket away at night when they slept.
She owed Lucifer too much. Without him, just the twins alone would force her to a corner.
She drank a glass of wine and then walked over to the corridor, and called Lucifer.
“Do you like me?”
Lucifer’s hand that was holding the phone instantly shook, the light in his blue eyes instantly extinguished.
