Chapter 299: Observing Connor's bewildered expression, Arabella 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.
Arabella 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 Arabella'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 accept 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 a laugh, surprised by Arabella's progressive stance. The others shared his amazement, realizing they paled in comparison to Arabella's exceptional outlook.

"No, Grandma, I didn't." "Then why did she depart in the dead of night?" "Well, you see..." Connor struggled for a plausible explanation 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?" Arabella suggested.
"Consider it done, Grandma." "Quickly now!" "Understood, Grandma." "It's a wise decision to welcthose 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 Arabella might not support the idea of taking in the children, potentially leading to a divorce with Marissa. But now, those worries had vanished, given Arabella's exceptional understanding and foresight. At that moment, Connor burst into laughter.
"What's amusing you, you mischievous rascal?" Arabella inquired, her tone serious.
"Oh, nothing. Grandma, your integrity, open-mindedness, and wisdom radiate brightly. I admire many commendable traits in you that I aspire to possess." "Pah! Enough with the flattery! Don't assyou can always deceive me! Hurry and bring my daughter-in-law and the two kids back. If you fail to retrieve them, there's no need for you to return heither!" "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 playful smile.
