Chapter 465

She had two precious twins-a boy and a girl-as well as Gwyneth, if Gwyn still counted her as a mother.

"See, I told you, Gwyn really is adorable."

Victoria lowered her head, her expression calm, but something in her heart quietly softened.

"Yes. She was even cuter when she was younger, just like little Celia."

That old fox always had some scheme going, pulling every string he could for both the older and the younger one-as long as there was money involved.

She'd taken them all in. Her daughter was her flesh and blood, a bond that would never break in this lifetime. As for McNeil, he could do whatever he wanted; Victoria didn't interfere, didn't care, and certainly didn't bother herself with him. "Vicky, make the most of it. At least you still have a chance to choose in this life." Victoria knew her aunt was talking about Edith. Edith had never had the chance to choose whom she loved-or even the chance to grow old.

"Auntie, you should get some rest. When you're feeling better, I'll take you out for a walk. It's been years since you've seen the world outside."

Victoria changed the subject, and Emily didn't press her further about things that only brought sorrow.

When Victoria stepped out of Emily's room, McNeil was already in the kitchen, making food for the twins. Gwyneth was there, helping him-whether out of genuine interest or just the novelty of it, Victoria couldn't tell, but Gwyneth seemed more attentive to her little brother and sister than she ever was to her games.

McNeil, worried Gwyneth might get bored, had even brought her a tablet loaded with games. To his surprise, she'd rather help with the babies.

It was almost comical: a six-year-old playing "big sister" to two infants, all seriousness and focus.
