Chapter 161

When I heard Lynda, I was completely taken aback.

I stood up and asked, "What?"

Getting to her feet, she gave a slight nod of her head.

'Yes, Adrian. You heard me right. I will be their mother."

I shook my head. No, she was unable to comprehend it. She was just going with the flow without thinking for herself.

"Adrian, it's a good thing if she handles your kids. Why are you opposing it?" My mother asked me with a forceful smile.

"Mom, you are not getting it."

I did not love Lynda, and even if I were to tie the knot with her in the future, it would only be a marriage of compromise.

When I looked over at my father, he was staring at me with a blank expression.

"I wanted to give you another option, but your girlfriend gave you a choice. Therefore, the decision rests with you, as I have ceased interfering with your affairs," my father said to me.

I knew what he wanted at that time. He wanted me to get back to Natalia.

But that was impossible.

That woman deserved my rejection, not my acceptance, for entering my life once again.

I left the living room with a gloomy face. As I was walking by the garden, I paused my steps and cast a glance in the direction of my children from the door.

I witnessed Noah acting like a big boy, patting Aria on the head.

"We will go back to Mommy. Don't worry."

Noah spoke with an air of self-assurance. My gaze was fixed on him. He was truly a momma's boy.

I tightened my fists as I mind linked with one of my officials.

After speaking with him, I walked towards my children. When they noticed me, they stood up from the bench and started to make their way toward the door.

I grabbed their hands and made them sit on the bench again.

I came down to my knees and sat there looking at them. They were trying to avoid looking at me.

"Are you two angry with your dad?"

Noah uttered in a choppy voice, "You are not our dad."

It made me mad at him. But I tried my best to control myself.

"I know it's tough a situation for you two, but you will get used to this life soon, I will admit you to the best school

in this pack. Soon you will make friends and forget about that woman."

Aria looked at me with teary eyes.

"She is my mom."

When I saw her crying, it put a damper on my mood. I wiped away her tears. 'Don't cry."

At that moment, Delta Julian arrived in the garden carrying a tab and a phone.

I handed them to my children and said,

"You two can play with them. I really hope that it will help you let go of some of your anger." I had seen how Aria liked to use my phone when she was with me in the hotel room.

In an instant, Noah's eyes brightened up as he snatched the tab and smiled while looking at it.

Aria slowly held the phone with a lightened face. I chuckled at them and patted their heads.

When I was leaving the garden, I spotted Lynda at the door.

After giving my children a quick glance, she turned her attention back to me.

"You love them."

I turned my gaze away from her. "Of course I do. They are my blood."

"If only their mother loved you. I can't believe how she has been deceiving you all these years, Adrian."noveldrama

The realization that her words were true caused me to clench my jaw.

But I was shocked when she spoke out again.

"Adrian, have you understood her plans? The first thing she did was drug you, and then she slept with you. After that, she made you marry her against your will.

As soon as she realized that you were not going to fall into her trap and that you would never allow her to be your Luna, she divorced you and ran away with your children. She devised a strategy to get your children ready to fight against you. She had a scheme to destroy you in the future so that her brother and her so-called fiance, Eric, could easily obtain your pack."

It brought to my attention that Natalia had been plotting against me for all of these years.
