CHAPTER 156: CHAPTER 156: MOMMY, LET’S GO BACK TO THE LANCASTER FAMILY

These words deeply pierced Seraphina Kennedy’s heart, and she froze, "I’m your grandmother, how can you talk to me like this?"

"You’re not! We don’t have a grandmother!"

Tears kept falling from Seraphina’s eyes.

Meeting her grandchildren, she thought it would be a warm and harmonious scene.

But instead...

The children didn’t recognize her at all.

And how could two five-year-olds understand all this? These words must have been taught to them by an adult.

"Did Ivy Summers teach you to treat us like this?"

"Don’t slander my mommy, we have eyes to see for ourselves." Leo loudly refuted Seraphina’s words.

Seraphina climbed up from the ground, holding their hands, "Kids, the truth is not what you see, we have misunderstandings between us. Come home with grandma, and I’ll explain everything to you, okay?"

Seraphina wanted to take the two children home.

Gregory Lancaster also stepped forward, and after hearing the children’s words, he was somewhat angry.

Children are shaped by the adults around them. If these two children are treating the Lancaster Family like this, it must be because their mother has been saying bad things about them, causing such a misunderstanding.

Therefore, the children must come back to the Lancaster Family to be properly raised by them.

"Let go of us! Don’t touch us! Who wants to go back to the Lancaster Family with you?"

Gregory Lancaster kept a stern face, "The Lancaster Family can give you the best resources, the best education, things your mother can never provide. You need to think it through!"

"Why are you being so harsh with the children?" Seraphina anxiously scolded Gregory, but still held tightly onto Nathan and Leo, "Be good, come home with grandpa and grandma. The Lancaster Family is your true home."

Leo retorted, "Who cares about your Lancaster Family!"

Ella Morgan saw them constantly pulling at the children and wanted to step forward to stop them, but Damien Lancaster was quicker, pulling Nathan and Leo away from Seraphina’s grasp.

Nathan and Leo returned to Ella’s side.

Ella immediately sent a message to Ivy Summers, telling her to come back quickly.

She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to handle it later.

Seraphina was puzzled by Damien’s actions, "Damien?"

Damien said, "Don’t touch the children."

"These are Lancaster’s children, they must come back with us to the Lancaster Family."

Damien furrowed his brows, "They are also Ivy Summers’ children, children she raised. We have no right to take them without Ivy’s consent."

Damien’s words made Seraphina and Gregory feel as if he had lost his mind.

Meaning, if Ivy didn’t agree, they couldn’t take the children back to the Lancaster Family.

Of course, Ivy wouldn’t agree, which meant they could never be with their own grandchildren again.

"Damien Lancaster, do you know what you’re saying? How can Lancaster’s children be entrusted to that woman? Can she raise them well?" Gregory shouted furiously.

"Before we came, she and the three children were doing just fine, so why couldn’t she raise them well?" Damien countered coldly.

Gregory flared up, "I think you’ve lost your head. You get stabbed once and still side with her."

Seraphina, afraid the two would quarrel again and worried about not taking the children back, quickly persuaded, "Damien, they are our family’s children, coming home with us is only natural. We’ve already lost Sophie, do you want Ivy to cause all the children to be lost?"

Damien’s expression turned fiercely cold, "Sophie’s death wasn’t her fault, it was ours."

Seraphina said, "Yes, we were at fault, but what about her? She’s a woman raising three children, can’t protect them properly, can’t care for them well, and wouldn’t hand them over to us, leading to Sophie’s accident."

Ella couldn’t listen any longer, "Do you have no shame? During those five years in Yrador, those 1827 days, Ivy raised the children all by herself, and the kids never got hurt. After you forced them back to Aethelgard, the children got hurt repeatedly, and you say it’s all her fault? Now you want to take her children away—do you have any humanity?"

Gregory waved his hand, "No matter what you say, the children must come back with us to the Lancaster Family!"

The descendants of Lancaster Family cannot be raised by a woman! Only in the Lancaster Family can they receive a better education and have a better future!

There is no room for negotiation on this matter.

Gregory reached out to take the children but his extended hand was hit hard by a flying stick.

Gregory recoiled his hand in pain.

Turning his head, he saw Ivy Summers standing there.

Ivy Summers was back!

Ella felt both relieved and anxious.

Ivy Summers walked over quickly, her expression cold beyond words.

"No one is allowed to touch my children!"

The stick had hit Gregory so painfully that veins bulged on his forehead. Seraphina screamed in panic, "Ivy Summers, are you crazy!"

"Get lost!"

Gregory’s face darkened ominously, "Damien Lancaster, you see that, this woman in your heart attacked your own father, and you’re indifferent?"

Damien raised his gaze, "You deserve it!"

Gregory was so infuriated by Damien’s words that he nearly lost his reason, and if it weren’t for the children being present and not wanting to frighten them, he would’ve punished his son who’s siding with outsiders.

Gregory’s face turned red with anger, realizing it was impossible to take the children today, so he had no choice but to drag Seraphina away.

Seraphina turned back every few steps, full of reluctance.

With her long-awaited grandchildren right in front of her, not being able to be close to them, and unable to take them back to the Lancaster Family, Seraphina was heartbroken.

In fact, she understood the logic in their words.

The children were raised entirely by Ivy Summers, how could they just take them away?

Even though she understood this reasoning, she couldn’t resist the inner longing for family ties.

This step, they wouldn’t yield!

Sophie was already gone, these two children must be taken back to the Lancaster Family for proper protection.

Whether by force or through legal battles, they would reclaim the children.

Ivy Summers crouched down and hugged Nathan and Leo, "Don’t be afraid, Mommy won’t let them take you."

Nathan and Leo stayed in Ivy’s embrace, nodding vigorously.

Watching this scene, Damien Lancaster felt an immense heartache.

He had indeed made many mistakes.

If he had treated Ivy Summers a little better back then, she wouldn’t have been completely disappointed in him, nor would she have left with the three children, heartbroken.

Damien Lancaster knew that his presence would make them nervous, so after Gregory Lancaster and Seraphina Kennedy left, he quietly left as well.

...

Back in the hospital room, Ella Morgan was furious, "So shameless, it’s driving me crazy."

Ivy Summers knelt down to look at the two children, "Are you two okay?"

Nathan and Leo shook their heads, but there was a subtle trembling in their eyes, clearly a little frightened.

"Ivy, what are we going to do now?"

Ivy Summers lowered her head, "There’s nothing we can do."

"Send Nathan and Leo away."

Ivy Summers knew it was useless, she could never underestimate the Lancaster Family’s determination to take the children back. Even if they left, this time the Lancaster Family would not give up so easily.

The stronger the resistance, the harsher the response they would face.

"Then let us go to the Lancasters," Nathan said calmly and suddenly.

The three of them all looked at Nathan.

Leo’s little face was full of confusion, "Brother?"

Nathan raised his head, "They’ll definitely come to take us, so let’s go back ourselves. Mom, don’t worry, we won’t let ourselves get hurt, and we won’t let them succeed."

What the Lancaster Family wants the most now is for Nathan and Leo to acknowledge them, but Nathan and Leo will absolutely not recognize them.

Leo immediately understood his brother’s intentions, perhaps they didn’t need to wait until they grew up to avenge Sophie.

They could do it now.

Returning to the Lancaster Family wouldn’t just stop them from succeeding, it would turn the Lancaster Family upside down.

Leo snorted, "Mom, we promise they might get our bodies, but they’ll never get our hearts!"

...

In the evening.

At the entrance of Lancaster Manor appeared two little ones with small backpacks.

A servant rushed into the living room, forgetting decorum in her excitement, "Sir, Madam, the children! There are two children at the door!"

"What children?" Seraphina Kennedy, in the living room, didn’t react for a moment.

"Two little boys who look a lot like the eldest young master, they’re at the door now."

Seraphina Kennedy immediately thought of the two children she had seen at the hospital today and instantly stood up, jogging outside.

Gregory Lancaster, who was upstairs plotting to take the children, also came downstairs, quickly walking outside.

...

At the entrance.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!"

Zachary Lancaster, just returning, saw the two little ones at the door and was so shocked that he exclaimed thrice.

Those little faces were like cut from the same mold as his brother.

They were undoubtedly his brother’s biological sons.

Zachary Lancaster was completely stunned.

Who would’ve thought? Who would’ve thought that Damien Lancaster, who usually seemed so restrained, actually had such big children out there.

Yes, two of them!

Truly, appearances can be deceiving. Damien Lancaster, in his suits every day, turned out to be quite the actor.

The repressed man, incredible!

Zachary Lancaster squatted down and leaned in close to the two expressionless kids, "What are your names?"

Nathan and Leo didn’t speak, their eyes didn’t even shift.

Such coldness, such arrogance.

Just like his brother’s sons.

Zachary Lancaster stroked his chin, "Are you here to see my brother? Looking for Damien Lancaster?"

"Who’s your mother?"

"How did you find this place?"

"I’m your uncle, say something to me."

Zachary Lancaster asked them a series of questions, receiving no answer.

Zachary Lancaster couldn’t believe it.

They were actually two little deaf-mutes.

Gregory Lancaster and Seraphina Kennedy came out and indeed saw the little ones standing at the entrance.

Seraphina Kennedy was both surprised and delighted, immediately approaching the two little ones, "Have you really decided to come back?"

Nathan and Leo nodded.

They were indifferent, but at least they responded.

Seraphina Kennedy was overwhelmed with joy, unable to believe it was true.

Gregory Lancaster couldn’t believe it either; during the day they had been so resistant, and in a few hours, they had changed their minds?

"Have you truly decided to return to the Lancaster Family?" Gregory Lancaster asked.

"Isn’t it obvious?" Nathan lifted his little head, responding with a question.

Gregory Lancaster was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood, laughing happily, "Truly, you’re our Lancaster children, you’ve made the wisest decision."

Seraphina Kennedy was overjoyed, calling out, "Quick, come inside, come inside, Grandma will have someone get your room ready right away. My precious grandsons are back, this is a great day for the Lancaster Family. Oh, and what are your names?"

"Nathan Summers."

"Leo Summers."

"These names aren’t good enough, Grandpa will change your names later, Grandpa will give you nice names."
