A bolt from the blue!

Anthony thought it was a hallucination. Did he see a mini-version of Ivan?

Did he transgress?

"Anthony, you're back."

Someone noticed the return of Prince Charming, rushed over gleefully, and spoke sheepishly, "Those are Dr. Shelton's kids. Aren't they cute?"

"Mm, indeed."

Anthony nodded absently. Back when they were in kindergarten, Ivan was the most handsome kid. As his childhood buddy, Anthony certainly knew what little Ivan looked like.

He couldn't tear his eyes away from the boy and held his breath out of excitement.

They looked the same.

Jasper obviously noticed the fervent gaze of the man and found him weird.

He tactfully took his sister out to the corridor, trotted back to his mommy, and lifted his little head, "Mommy, a weird man is watching us."

"Weird man."

Mia echoed and nodded, though she didn't know what it meant. Nevertheless, her brother was always right.

"Where is he?"

Ariella frowned instantly and stopped her work. In the clinic, patients were coming and going.

She added immediately, "Stay here with me."

There were crazy patients out there. They might get hurt.

Anthony lost sight of the mini-version of Ivan and followed him.

He wanted to figure out the information about the boy.

"Mommy, weird man."

As soon as Jasper saw the incomer, he called out in alarm.

Ariella involuntarily lifted her head and spoke in bewilderment, "Sir?"

"No, I'm not a weird man."

Anthony felt sad about the misunderstanding.

He explained hastily, "I just find the kids cute."

"Okay, kids are sensitive."

Ariella stroked Jasper's head, "He is the dean here and not a weird man. Don't make random remarks, okay?"

Jasper didn't answer but still found him weird. The man stared at him like he saw a new toy.

Anthony slightly narrowed his eyes, "No one has brought her kids to the office before. Just now, nearly everyone stopped working and gathered here."

Um, this wasn't good.

Ariella glanced at her kids and stood up, "My children are well-behaved and won't cause any trouble. People saw them for the first time and found it rare."

The children noticed something wrong and eyed their mother.

Anthony felt terrible about himself and waved his hand helplessly, "I know about your situation; just pay more attention."

"Thank you, sir."

Ariella finally rested her mind at ease. Thankfully, it was fine.

"Well, how old are your kids?"

Anthony pretended to ask randomly but calculated in his mind. If the boy were really Ivan's seed, he probably formed on that night four years ago.

"About four years old."

Ariella looked at the little ones, and her eyes were filled with gratification.

"You're a great mother. Wasn't it hard to bear twins?"

Anthony's heart convulsed, and his breathing accelerated when he heard the age. It was a match.

But was Ariella really their biological mother? Back then, the girl sent over was trained.

"It's alright; I had a cesarean section."

Ariella found it strange that the dean talked so much. It looked like he was very interested in her children.

Anthony could hardly contain his emotions and pushed his glasses several times, "You did a good job."

He was aware that he couldn't press anymore. Now he found himself strange to show so much interest in kids.

Outside the office, his brilliant mind somehow went blank.

Most likely, the twins were Ivan's kids.

There were still some discrepancies. He needed to do some digging about Ariella and figure out what happened back then.

In fact, they had been searching for the girl all these years but to no avail.

No wonder Ivan was not allergic to Ariella. The girl back then was like her in this aspect. Otherwise, she wouldn't have slept with Ivan.

God indeed gave people hope.

...

The cute kids solved the office crisis, and she was ready to compensate the cold male chauvinist with the advance on her salary. She didn't want to owe him anything.

Because of the cold male chauvinist, she couldn't pick up her kids from school that day, but he did help them and brought them to the hospital.

She flipped through the compensation contract but found no bank information.

Ariella called the lawyer, "Hello, this is Ariella; give me your bank account. I'll make the transfer right away."

"Hello, Ms. Shelton, according to our boss, you're no longer required to compensate. The debt is over."

"What?"

Somehow, the indifferent face of the man crossed her mind. She grasped the phone and spoke with feigned composure, "No, this is my responsibility. I should compensate."

"It's fine, Ms. Shelton."

The lawyer was shocked by her resolute tone. He had never met such a person before.

Moreover, he knew about the woman's poor financial condition. It was hard for her to raise the money, but she still insisted on paying.

This was really rare.

"As a mother, I should set a good example for my kids, so please help deliver the message to your boss."

"Oh, okay, I'll keep you posted."

"Thanks."

Ariella hung up the phone and unhappily kicked a chair nearby. What did this mean?

Charity?

She didn't need it!

While she was depressed, a court summons reached her. Sure enough, the accuser was Rainie.

Ariella rubbed her temples and left her friend a WeChat message. When the lawyer was ready, she would be in court.

On the weekend, she preferred to rest at home.

Bzzt... her friend soon called her back and spoke in an urgent tone, "Ariella, check out the trending topics on Weibo."

"What is it? You sound so anxious."

While speaking, Ariella opened Weibo and saw the headline, Scandalous Woman of Shelton Family Showed up with Her Kids!

She instantly widened her eyes, sat up, and tapped the screen.

There were daily-life pictures of her kids and her. The content was about her reemergence with her children.

"The paparazzi must have stalked you. Who the hell is so boring to publish such things? It even includes the kids' pictures. They went too far."
