One hour later,
Jade appeared at the old house.
Upon hearing that he came to pick them up to return to Chelsea Creek, Alexander and Noah were overjoyed and immediately clamored to go back.
Although the old master was reluctant, he did not forcefully detain them, allowing Jade to take them away.
The car slowly entered the Chelsea Creek garage.
Before the car even came to a stop, the two couldn't wait and opened the car doors, running down eagerly.
When Noah suddenly stopped upon seeing Samantha sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, he stood a few meters away from the sofa, looking timidly at Samantha. His eyes were full of longing, yet he dared not approach.
Ms. Samantha had previously treated him as Alexander, which was why she had been kind to him.
Now, the truth was revealed.
He was the son of her enemy, Suzy.
He was afraid she would dislike him.
Alexander, however, did not have as many concerns. Upon seeing Samantha, he sprinted over, jumped onto her, and forcefully planted a kiss on her face, excitedly saying, "Mommy, I missed you so much. I thought I would never see you again."
Looking at her son in her arms, Samantha felt a sense of being transported to another world.
She gently stroked Alexander's head and smiled, saying, "How could that be! Although you are not my biological child, my feelings for you are genuine."
"You will always be my mommy, and I only have you as my mommy."
Alexander was moved to tears. He held onto her neck tightly and refused to let go.
Greedily, he savored the scent on her body.
This was the scent of his mother.
A comforting scent for him.
Watching the interaction between them, Noah felt extreme envy but still hesitated to approach.
When Ethan came downstairs, he saw Alexander nestled in Samantha's arms, and Noah stood not far away, looking full of admiration. His heart tightened suddenly, and he called out, "Noah."
It was then that Samantha noticed Noah was also there.
Reluctantly taking his gaze away from Samantha, Noah walked over to Ethan, lowered his head, and respectfully called out, "Father."
Their demeanor was more like that of a superior and a subordinate than that of father and son.
Samantha unconsciously furrowed her brows, placed Alexander on the sofa, and walked over to Noah. She took the initiative to hold his hand and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
Noah didn't expect Samantha to approach him so willingly.
Suddenly, he felt nervous and didn't know what to do.
Sensing his nervousness, Samantha, like petting a cat, affectionately rubbed his head and teased, "What? Am I not your mommy, so you won't get close to me?"
"I... I..." Noah stuttered, experiencing this situation for the first time and not knowing how to respond.
After some hesitation, he awkwardly asked, "Can I?"
Didn't she say she disliked Suzy's son before? He was afraid she would dislike him for that reason.
Samantha smiled. "Of course! If you don't mind, you can call me mommy just like Alexander. If 'mommy' doesn't work, 'godmother' is fine too."
After saying that, she playfully teased him, "Unless you don't like me!"
Noah's eyes suddenly reddened. Excitedly and choked up, he denied, "No, no, I like you... I don't dislike you..."
How could he dislike her? He so wished she could be his biological mother.
Samantha gently embraced him, stroking his back with a soft hand. "Then, from now on, just like Alexander, you can call me mommy!"
Noah nodded desperately.
In a tentative tone, he called out, "Mom, mommy!"
Because of nervousness, his voice trembled slightly.
This was the first time he called Ms. Samantha 'mommy' as Noah.
In the past, he had always basked in Alexander's glory.
How could this not make him excited?
Alexander watched the two tightly embracing individuals, and unconsciously, his eyes reddened.
He and Noah were identical twins, and no one understood Noah's inner desires better than him.
So, he sincerely felt happy for Noah.
Ethan stood quietly on the side, a strange thought crossing his mind.
What if Alexander and Noah's biological mother were really Samantha? That would be wonderful.
In that case, Alexander and Noah could fulfill their wishes.
And he could openly keep Samantha by his side forever.
...
At the Miller family residence.
Suzy looked as if she had experienced a near-death situation, her face pale, and her eyes unfocused, returning home in a daze.
Seeing her in this state, Sarah rushed over to support her, anxiously asking, "Suzy, what happened? What's going on?"
Mechanically, Suzy turned her head to look at Sarah.
At this moment, she felt a wave of fear and hugged Sarah tightly, her body trembling slightly.
"Mom, I almost... I almost killed Samantha..."
It was all because of her overwhelming anger that she had exposed a flaw that led to today's failure.
Otherwise, no matter what Samantha did, she wouldn't be able to wash away the guilt.
Sarah pulled her away from her embrace, puzzled, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Suzy calmed her mind and explained the whole story.
After listening, Sarah was shocked beyond measure.
"We had that illegitimate child killed back then, didn't we? How could he end up being raised again by Samantha?"
Was there really such a coincidental turn of events?
Then, a thought occurred to her, and her eyes narrowed dangerously as she said, "Someone must have meddled. Otherwise, how could a child who was clearly dead suddenly reappear? And Charlotte... The doctor who performed the surgery for her clearly said she gave birth to twins. The firstborn died at birth, and the second one, we took away. There was never any mention of a third child."
Back when Samantha prematurely gave birth after being pushed down the stairs by them, the doctor they bribed performed the surgery.
They couldn't enter the operating room, so they waited outside.
Not long after, the doctor came out and told them that the firstborn was weak and died shortly after birth.
Feeling unlucky, they didn't ask to see the body.
Following that, the doctor carried out the second child, who is now Noah.
To take away Samantha's shares, they brought Noah back to the Miller family.
As for Samantha, they planned to create a medical accident to get rid of her.
Later, the doctor told them that Samantha miraculously survived.
But she disappeared without a trace.
Back then, they didn't raise suspicions, thinking that since Samantha was gone, she posed no threat to them.
Unexpectedly, four years later, she not only came back but also brought two illegitimate children with her.
Fortunately, Samantha didn't know that the man from that night was Ethan, and she was unaware that Alexander was her biological son, and Charlotte was actually Ethan's biological daughter.
Everything was still under their control.
Suzy suddenly brightened, "Are you saying someone helped her back then?"
Sarah nodded, affirming, "Certainly, someone must have helped her; otherwise, how could she escape from our grasp?"
The two sat on the sofa, carefully recalling the past.
After a moment, Suzy boldly expressed her speculation, "Could it be the doctor we bribed?"
Sarah thought her guess made sense, "That doctor went abroad three years ago! I'll send someone to find him now. I want to see who dares to play tricks in front of me."
A trace of murderous intent appeared in Suzy's eyes, "If it's really him, then he can't be spared."
Sarah narrowed her eyes, "Of course, if you don't cut the grass and remove the roots, it will grow again in the spring..."
