CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 157: AN ENGAGEMENT GIFT FOR THEM

Nathan and Leo immediately stopped in their tracks, "We won’t change our names, this is what we’ll be called."

"This name isn’t good, you should have the surname Lancaster, not Summers."

Nathan said, "We don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, if you insist, then we’ll just leave."

"You’re Lancaster children, you should naturally have the surname..."

"Enough." Seraphina Kennedy interrupted Gregory Lancaster, "The kids just got back, we can talk about changing names later, let’s go home first."

Seraphina understood that Gregory Lancaster was stubborn, and Nathan and Leo also had strong wills; neither side would compromise.

Nathan and Leo had just returned, and she didn’t want to argue over this matter.

Gregory Lancaster pressed his lips tightly, "Fine, we’ll discuss it later, let’s go home first."

Nathan and Leo showed no signs of yielding, and Nathan’s voice was cold and deep, "This will be our name, we won’t change it in the future either."

Looking at Nathan and Leo, they indeed had a bit of Damien Lancaster’s shadow, especially Nathan.

"Alright, alright, no name change." Seraphina agreed, planning that it wouldn’t be too late to change it later once their relationship with the children softened.

Gregory Lancaster didn’t say anything more.

Nathan and Leo turned to look at the distance, then when they turned back, a mischievous glint flickered in their eyes.

Ivy Summers and Ella Morgan’s car was parked in the distance, and Ivy watched Nathan and Leo go back to the Lancaster Family with Seraphina, feeling mixed emotions inside.

She wasn’t sure if this was right.

Ella started the car, "Don’t worry, Nathan and Leo are very smart and won’t let themselves suffer, but it’s fortunate they found out about the kids after your divorce from Damien, otherwise a custody battle would have been inevitable."

"Yeah." Ivy nodded.

Thankfully, they were divorced.

Ivy’s phone chimed, Leo had sent her a message: "Mummy, don’t worry."

...

Inside the Lancaster home.

The return of the children was a huge cause for celebration, everyone in the Lancaster Family was very happy.

Zachary Lancaster called Damien Lancaster back.

When Damien returned and saw Nathan and Leo, he was quite surprised.

Then his face turned cold, "Did you go over there and snatch the kids again?"

"We didn’t, Nathan and Leo came back on their own." Seraphina said, her voice carrying a hint of laughter.

Damien was skeptical until he saw Nathan and Leo sitting quietly on the sofa.

They didn’t look like they were forced back.

Zachary was still buzzing around them, as if he had discovered a new continent, excitedly saying, "Call me second uncle."

"..."

"Little darlings, call me second uncle."

"..."

"Just say it once, second uncle."

Nathan and Leo glanced at Zachary.

Nathan’s little expression was very serious, "Second uncle, you’re very noisy."

Because Zachary had never bullied Ivy, the two little ones were willing to call him that; it was a respect even Damien didn’t receive.

Hearing the first "second uncle," Zachary was overjoyed.

Suddenly having two big nephews, Zachary was lost in this surprise for a long time.

"Brother, listen, your sons are calling me second uncle."

Damien’s face was stern as he approached Nathan and Leo and squatted down, "Your mummy agreed for you to be here?"

"Even if Mummy didn’t agree, wouldn’t you come and take us back anyway? So we came back ourselves, hoping you won’t bother our mummy."

Damien understood what they meant, and lifted his hand to touch their heads, but they dodged.

Damien didn’t try again, "Alright then, stay with Daddy for a few days; when you want to go back, Daddy will take you."

Nathan and Leo didn’t want to engage further, "We’re going to sleep."

The room was already prepared, Seraphina wanted to show them the room, but they declined.

Seeing the kids’ indifferent attitude towards them, Gregory Lancaster was a bit annoyed, "These two kids have been spoiled by their mother, no manners at all, they need proper discipline."

Zachary chuckled, "Dad, it’s not that they lack manners, they just simply don’t want to engage with us."

Gregory frowned, "Not talking, do they think you’re mute?"

Zachary saw that as Gregory aged, he became more stubborn, insisting on using his methods to educate.

Damien walked to the window, about to call Ivy Summers.

Just then, Julian Jacobs called.

"Sir."

"Speak."

"Miss Shaw has already moved into the villa, she’s asking when you’ll be back?"

Damien’s cold lips pursed, "Did you handle everything I asked you to?"

"Yes, everything’s arranged."

"Alright."

Damien hung up without saying when he would return.

Julian informed Rachel Shaw, for whom the servants had meticulously prepared a candlelit dinner, "Miss Shaw, sir said he’s not sure when he’ll be back, no need to wait for him."

Rachel was a little disappointed, but she knew Damien was busy with work.

But it didn’t matter, no matter how busy, he would return, and her main purpose tonight wasn’t just dinner.

After dinner, Rachel returned to the bedroom.

She purposely had her belongings moved to the master bedroom.

Which was once Ivy and Damien’s marital bedroom, and now it belonged to her.

Rachel changed into a sexy lace nightgown, sprayed herself with a light sweet perfume, and danced around the room.

She had smelled this perfume on Ivy before and searched a long time to find the same one.

Even though she was using this method to seduce Damien, she didn’t mind, as long as Damien liked it.

A car’s sound came from downstairs.

Damien had returned.

Rachel Shaw’s heart was pounding, and she hastily put down the perfume and took out a special box of incense from the drawer.

This incense was given to her by Nina Summers, who said it was very potent; just smelling it would stir uncontrollable emotions.

Thinking about tonight, Rachel couldn’t help but smile shyly.

Damien, tonight you will be mine.

Rachel placed the incense in an inconspicuous spot, lit a few candles, turned off the lights, and took off her nightgown to reveal a more seductive lingerie.

The room was dim, filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Click."

The door opened.

A tall figure paused slightly, then walked in.

At this moment, Rachel was already stirred up by the drug, unable to control herself, her heart racing, and she rushed forward to embrace the man who had come in.

"Damien, you’re back."

As the man walked in, he instantly smelled the strange fragrance. After a moment of silence, he nodded, "Hmm."

Hearing the response, Rachel was even more excited, gently wrapping her arms around the man, seducing him like a water snake, "Damien... do you know? I’ve been waiting for you for so long, you’ve finally returned..."

Saying this, she boldly stood on tiptoe, lightly kissing the man’s lips.

In the darkness, she realized the man did not reject her, making Rachel even bolder. She guided his large hand to her waist, "Damien, hold me, won’t you?"

The man’s hand embraced her waist.

Receiving this response, Rachel’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.

She just knew it.

She knew Damien Lancaster had feelings for her.

Rachel’s breathing became more erratic, "Damien, carry me to the bed."

The man’s body also heated up continuously, picked Rachel up, and the wind blowing through the window extinguished the candle, as he pressed Rachel down, breathing heavily.

Rachel’s excited body trembled as she actively removed her clothes.

The man’s kisses fell upon her.

Rachel felt his urgency and responded even more intensely.

A night of indulgence...

The next day.

The room was in disarray.

When Rachel woke up, she felt as though her body was falling apart; the man from last night was already gone.

Thinking about last night, Rachel shyly covered her face.

Last night, Damien Lancaster pampered her to the extreme, yet was also wild beyond measure.

She didn’t realize Damien loved her this much.

Rachel went to the bathroom, looked at the marks on her body in the mirror, and smiled blissfully.

From today on, she was Damien Lancaster’s woman.

No one could shake her position anymore.

Thinking of this, Rachel took out her phone and snapped a few photos of herself, then went to the room, capturing the clothes scattered all over the floor, and sent them via text to Ivy Summers.

Ivy Summers had just finished her discharge procedures.

Noah Scott had come to pick her up, holding her bag with one hand, standing a short distance away. His nearly ethereal beauty attracted multiple glances from the surrounding nurses.

Once done, Ivy walked over, "Let’s go."

"Hmm."

"Did you send Nathan and Leo to the Lancaster Family?"

"Hmm."

"When do you plan to bring them back?"

"Once I’ve thought of a foolproof plan." Saying this, Ivy also wanted to see Old Master Lancaster. Since the children had already been discovered, she should tell Old Master Lancaster.

However, thinking about it, it wasn’t her place to say; Old Master Lancaster probably already knew.

Putting these thoughts aside, Ivy left the hospital with Noah.

At this moment, several text messages popped up on her phone.

Ivy opened them to take a look and her face darkened.

Rachel Shaw had her phone number, but she didn’t expect Rachel to send her such disgusting things.

A few photos of Rachel with kiss marks on her neck, a few more of the messy clothes all over the floor, and there was even a photo of a pair of men’s underwear.

And she was very familiar with the decor of this room; it was the room at Imperial Bay Villa that she and Damien used to have.

So Rachel moved into Imperial Bay Villa?

Immediately after, Rachel sent her a message, "Last night, Damien was really amazing; I couldn’t handle it. Ivy Summers, has Damien ever loved you this much?"

Ivy’s heart sank.

Damien Lancaster knew Rachel Shaw was the one who killed Sophie, yet he’s still with her!

Heh, she just knew! Damien Lancaster’s tolerance for Rachel Shaw had no limits.

Ivy found it very ironic and felt incredibly pained inside.

Seeing her stand there, Noah doubled back, glanced at her phone, and saw that she was staring blankly at a picture of men’s briefs.

And those briefs were of the triangle kind.

Noah raised an eyebrow, "Do you like this style?"

Ivy snapped back to reality, looked up, "What are you talking about?"

Noah gestured at her phone screen.

Embarrassed, Ivy explained, "These are Damien Lancaster’s."

"You like Damien Lancaster’s triangular briefs and are staring at them in a daze?"

Ivy bit her lip hard, "You... you’re crazy, who likes his underwear."

Ivy saved those photos and turned off her phone.

Noah frowned even more, "You even save them, to enjoy?"

Ivy was so angry, she wanted to bite this outrageous person.

"Aren’t Damien Lancaster and Rachel Shaw about to get engaged? Consider this my engagement gift to them on their big day."
