Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Adan Nicholson had been closely monitoring Bianca's messages in the past few days hoping he would find anything about Lora.

However, the two women never talked about anything that could disclose Lora's secret. Adan was even thinking about giving up, thinking maybe they were just being paranoid.

He was at the engagement party when his phone suddenly buzzed and he saw the conversation that Lora had with Bianca.

His eyebrows furrowed when he saw the kids that were in the picture that Bianca had sent to Lora.

"These kids..." he murmured to himself, his eyes searching for Ryan.

This was big news! Lora had children and one of them resembled Ryan so much! This couldn't be a coincidence.

The MC called Ryan and Ivy to the stage and Adan's eyes widened. 'No. I need to show him this conversation before he goes up there.'

Adan rushed towards Ryan and showed him the conversation.

"What is it?" Ryan asked as he got the phone, his eyebrows knitting in confusion as he read the conversation.

"Read that and tell me what you think," Adan remarked.

Everyone was watching, wondering why Ryan had stopped to see something on the phone instead of proceeding with the event.

Ivy's face flushed. She smiled at the guests awkwardly, trying to look like this was normal. What was Ryan doing in front of all these people?

At the same time, Ryan's hand that was holding the phone trembled when he saw the photo.

Why was there a picture of kids that looked like Lora and himself?
