Taking Alpha's Twins Away After Divorce by AlisTae

Chapter 83

I was at a loss to understand whether or not

I should believe this little child's words. It seemed to me that she was not aware of the truth. On the other hand, how could Natalia even hide the truth from her children? How was it possible for Eric not to call hi After heaving a sigh, I shook my head. "Didn't Eric go to your parents' meeting?"

As a response, she gave me a slight nod. "But that was because Mommy had an exam that day. Uncle Eric told her not to worry, and he then accompanied us."

"She had an exam? She is studying?"

"Mommy has just finished her studies. Don't you know that?"

I was not aware of it. Did Natalia continue her studies? She had even completed her graduation?

It was then that I recalled how she had given up her schooling in order to marry

me. At that time, her adoptive father told me that she had decided not to continue her education. I thought she was not a good student, so I did not ask her about it.

While I was thinking about it, Aria's mumble reached my ears.

"Uncle Eric once told us to call him dad. But Mommy hushed us and told us that we should not refer to another man as our dad. He just loves us a lot, so that's why he said that to us; we should not take it seriously."

I was stunned by her words. I lowered my head to look at her face and asked,

"Then who is your dad?"

Her eyes were filled with tears as she gazed at me. "He is not with us. He is no more."

I was shocked. "What?"

"Mommy said our dad is no more. She said not to talk about him in our lives. So Noah and I never talk about him."

"He is no more?" I muttered while repeating her words.

I straightened my back and sat up as my thoughts began to mess up. Her words blew my mind. If Eric were really their father, Natalia would not have said that to her children. It was impossible for her to destroy an image of their father when he was still in their lives.

Somewhere, I felt a heaviness move from my chest. Despite the fact that I was unaware of the reason behind it, the news that their father was not alive left me feeling strange. "Tell me something more about your dad," I told her.

She shook her head. "No. Mommy said not to talk about him."
