S31 20. A Bait for the Twins

Emily blinked in confusion. Her lips pursed. “Why are you sad,

Sophia? When you have children later, I’m sure they will be amazing, because their mothers are great too!”

Sophia shook her head helplessly. “Don’t you guys know yet? I’ve separated from Finnic. We’re no longer husband and wife.”

“Then, just find a new husband who is better than him. Later you can have good children too,” Louis replied lightly.

“Yes, you can meet another man and remarry, like Grandma Melanie and Mr. Harris. Look! They have a daughter as beautiful as Auntie Barbara.” Emily cupped her cheeks and made a sweet expression.

Sophia’s smile turned stiff. She hoped the twins would ask why, but why were those toddlers thinking forward?

“Finding a husband is not that easy, Kids. Not everyone is as good as your father.” She tried to dig another hole.

“Uncle Jeremy is nice and he’s still single.” Louis nodded confidently.

“Yeah, do you need our help to get close to him? If you two get married, your children will be as cute as us.” Emily tilted her head. Her tone was sweetened.

However, Sophia was untouched. The corners of her lips even

twitched in disgust. Only when she caught a shadow near the door did she quickly let out a bitter laugh. “That will never happen. Jeremy hates me.”

The twins furrowed their eyebrows. “Why?”

“Maybe he thinks I’m deliberately cornering your mother. He thinks I’m the reason Grandma keeps scolding Kara.”

Emily’s face changed. “Uncle Jeremy couldn’t possibly think like that.” “Yes, that’s just your feeling, Sophie. Uncle Jeremy may seem cold and indifferent. But actually, his heart is soft and kind.”

Once again, Sophia shook her head. “It’s not just Jeremy, Barbara and Philip too. They see me as an enemy. My presence is seen as the cause of Grandma’s bad attitude to you.”

“I didn’t know they thought like that” Louis shook his head seriously.

“That’s because they hide it from you. They don’t want you to know that they’re sad.”

Emily tilted her head. “Who’s sad?”

“Barbara and Philip. If their relationship with Grandma is bad, their mission will be hampered. I don’t know for sure what they were talking about at that time. But, Barbara will be very sorry if Philip fails to claim his prize. Do you know about that?”

Louis and Emily exchanged glances. Their blinking eyes conveyed
