Forbidden Passion

Chapter 813 I Can't Leave

Evelyn rushed downstairs, and seeing her in such a hurry, the four children stood frozen by the door, too scared to even breathe.

Evelyn glared at them, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

With that, she opened the door and went out, heading straight for the iron gate. She opened it and stood arrogantly in front of Harper.

She snatched the four baby bottles he was holding and scolded, "Seriously? Stealing baby bottles from kids? Is there anything you won't do?"

Harper felt awkward and tried to explain, "I didn't steal them; the kids gave them to me."

"f kids give you something, you just take it? You're an adult, taking things from kids. People will laugh at you!" Evelyn was furious.

Harper was scheming. She hadn't forgiven him yet, and he was already trying to use Hubert, Boris, Noomi, and Ethan to make her compromise. No way!

Evelyn finished speaking and didn't want to waste any more words with him. She turned and walked back through the iron gate, closing it behind her. Harper followed, nearly getting his nose hit by the gate.

He stood outside the gate, helplessly watching Evelyn's back as she walked away.

Evelyn returned to the living room with the bottles. Hubert, Boris, Noomi, and Ethan exchanged glances and rushed to her, hugging her legs and holding her hands.

"Grandma, don't be mad," Hubert said in her sweet childlike voice.

Noomi chimed in, "Grandma, getting angry will give you wrinkles. We don't want that, do we?"

Evelyn was amused by her words, "You really know how to sweet-talk."

The four children pushed her to sit on the sofa, massaging her legs and shoulders, busy as bees. Seeing them like this, Evelyn couldn't stay mad.

She placed the bottles on the table and looked around. Seeing the kids still massaging her, she felt very happy, "You guys are worth all the love."
