the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 736: Daddy Says, If Mommy Doesn’t Come Home, She Won
Delphine looked at the boy’s slender back, tilted her head slightly, and said hoarsely, "It’s my fault for not taking good care of him. I should have taken him with back then."
At that ti, she was too panicked. The day after being released from prison, she took Nicholas and hid away, completely forgetting about Isaac. By the ti she rembered him, she was too afraid to co back to get him.
"When he was little, he really liked Ignatius and ."
Nathan’s lips curved into a mocking arc that disappeared in the blink of an eye, then he smiled and said, "Don’t worry. I’ll take him in for now. Once you two siblings have resolved your issues, then we’ll discuss it. Sending him to boarding school forever isn’t a solution."
"Thank you."
Nathan gazed at the distant clouds, waved his hand, and smiled, "No need. I have nothing better to do anyway."
After picking up Isaac, Delphine noticed the edges and corners of his backpack were worn out, yet he kept using it. His clothes also appeared to have been worn for a long ti. At that mont, she couldn’t move a step further, so she asked Nathan to drive them to the mall. She treated him to a al, bought him plenty of clothes and daily necessities, filling up an entire trunk.
"You’ll stay with your second brother for now. Once I’ve made proper arrangents, I’ll co back for you." Delphine tried to reach out and pat the teenager’s head, but he impatiently dodged her.
"Just go already. Stop talking so much." Isaac slung his backpack over his shoulder and turned his head to the side.
Delphine hesitated, then finally hailed a cab ho.
Nathan lit a cigarette, leaned against the car, and leisurely smoked it. Afterward, he patted the dazed boy and said, "She’s gone far now. Stop staring; let’s go ho."
By the ti Delphine got ho, the sky had turned dark. She pulled out her phone and realized it was dead. A pang of guilt struck her—she had forgotten to tell Ignatius she wouldn’t be ho for dinner. At this hour, he should have already fed the two kids.
Delphine tiptoed into the house. Before she could change her shoes, she saw the man sitting on the sofa, his tone cold and dangerous, "You’re back?"
Delphine froze, placed her bag down, slipped on her slippers, and blinked innocently, asking, "Hmm, have you eaten yet?"
The soft sofa in the living room frad the man’s handso face, which was dark and brooding. Benjamin and Nicholas sat neatly on the opposite sofa, staring at her with wide eyes.
"Mommy, I’m hungry." Benjamin’s voice was barely audible, his lips trembling as he touched his empty belly, his big eyes on the verge of tears.
Nicholas secretly took a lollipop from his pocket and passed it to her. Then, his dark eyes quickly returned to the book he was holding.
Seeing this, Delphine was sowhat incredulous. She turned to Ignatius and asked, "Didn’t you make dinner for Nicholas and Benjamin?"
The man’s phoenix eyes narrowed, his striking features clouded with gloom. He pressed his thin lips together and said in a deep voice, "I called you seven or eight tis."
"My phone was out of battery." Delphine saw him rise, his tall and slender silhouette exuding a commanding aura, and suddenly felt slightly guilty. She had lost track of ti buying things for Isaac, and Ignatius must have called her many tis, draining her phone’s battery.
Ignatius lowered his eyes, looking at her delicate and beautiful face. Catching a faint sll of tobacco on her, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Go take a shower and change your clothes. I’ll cook."
After finishing his sentence, the man walked to the kitchen with a cold expression.
Delphine and the two little ones on the sofa simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Delphine sat down, and Benjamin and Nicholas relaxed on the sofa as well.
Nicholas tugged on Delphine’s clothes, while Benjamin nestled into her lap. The two little ones exchanged a glance and began complaining all at once.
"Daddy said that if Mommy doesn’t co ho, he won’t cook for us anymore."
"He also said I couldn’t play with Benjamin’s toys."
"He told us not to speak loudly."
"Benjamin didn’t even dare to play with her bunny."
Delphine: "..."
