Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 229:

Not only had Marissa and Connor managed to rid themselves of Amiri, but they also ensured everyone’s safe departure. The expedition had been a resounding success. However, unexpectedly, they returned with two four-year-olds in tow. From the moment they boarded Connor’s private jet, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the children, treating them almost like exotic specimens

Having endured a series of ordeals recently, the children found the scrutiny of these strangers overwhelming. Clinging to Marissa’s legs, they sought comfort and a sense of safety in her presence. Connor, in particular, seemed to intimidate them. His eyes, cold and piercing, felt threatening to them, as if he harbored intentions of harm. Each time their gazes met his, a shiver of fear ran through them

She suspected that his displeasure might stem from a deeper issue. If the children were indeed Tiffany’s, it would suggest to everyone that he had been betrayed, a notion undoubtedly humiliating for him

Connor would have been overjoyed to have children with Marissa himself
