I looked at Evan with hatred in my eyes.
At this moment, I hated him more than ever before.
My gaze met Evan's in the air, and I didn't flinch, ready to fight him if necessary.
He stared at me intensely for a long time, and just as I thought he was about to strike again, he turned around silently and went downstairs.
"Grant." I hurriedly rushed to Grant.
Holding Grant tightly in my arms, my anxious heart finally settled.
It was then that I noticed Liliana had been staring at Biggie's face since he appeared.
Actually, my three babies resemble Evan quite a bit, and although Evan seems oblivious, others can definitely tell.
Like Ciara, and like Jaime, who looked stunned.
I shielded Grant's face and looked at Ciara. "Evan's gone, why don't you scram!"
"You..." Faced with my rudeness, Ciara was furious. After hesitating for a moment, she still went after Kev.
"Kevin, you're drunk, let me help you." Ciara said in a coquettish tone, preparing to support Evan.
Evan pushed her away. "Don't touch me!"
"Aah!" Ciara fell to the ground when he pushed her away, crying out in pain.
But Evan didn't even turn back.
As if feeling embarrassed that I had seen her, Ciara turned back and glared at me viciously before chasing after Evan again.
Watching this scene, I felt speechless.
A scoundrel is a scoundrel, even with his beloved back, he doesn't treat her any better.
I picked up Grant and prepared to return to the room, but Cassius spoke up. "Well, actually, these past five years, he hasn't been doing well, he..."
"He's doing well or not has nothing to do with me." I interrupted Cassius and headed back to the room quickly.
I patted Grant gently, relieved that he had always been brave and didn't dwell on what had just happened.
Soon, Grant fell asleep.
I habitually took out my phone and saw Ciara's post on social media.
In the photo, she was wearing casual clothes, and the drunk Kev was sleeping peacefully next to her.
For the past five years, I had seen such photos almost every day, with Ciara tirelessly flaunting her relationship online.
Previously numb from seeing such photos, my heart now ached.
Maybe it was because I was holding Grant in my arms, or maybe it was because not long ago... Evan was holding me.
Cassius said that Evan had been having a hard time these past few years, but had I been doing well?
When I almost died giving birth to the three babies, Evan was having a candlelit dinner with Ciara. When Little had to stay in an incubator and was given critical condition notices multiple times, Evan was celebrating anniversaries with Ciara. When the three babies asked me about their father, I didn't know how to explain it, but Ciara was posting online about how Evan had thought of names for their future children, and...
There was too much, all of which made it impossible for me to forgive Evan.
That night, I slept restlessly.
The next day, I woke up with dark circles under my eyes, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Konner, my mom, and Jaime waiting anxiously.
I had the servants take the triplets out to play in the yard, and we moved to the living room.
"Are the children Evan's?"
Though it was a question, my mom's tone was full of certainty.
Knowing that denial would be useless, I nodded. "Yes, but I won't let the children acknowledge Evan. He already has Ciara by his side, and I don't want my children to be hurt. If you consider me family, I beg you to keep this secret for me."
Saying this, I looked intently at Cassius.
This was mainly directed at him, after all, he was Evan's good friend.
Under my steady gaze, Cassius nodded. "Alright, I promise you, I won't say anything."
After Konner and Jaime had breakfast and left, my mom shed her pretense of elegance and danced excitedly around the house.
"The children are actually Evan's, ha ha ha..." My mom's smile was lopsided.
I was speechless. "Mom, why are you so happy?"
"How can I not be happy? You don't know, Ciara's mom has been so smug in front of me, and yet Ciara hasn't even married Evan, while my daughter has given birth to three kids for him."
"Ciara and Evan aren't married yet?" I was quite surprised.
