Chapter 3 They Are Xander’s Children
“No, I shouldn’t trouble you with such a trivial task!” The manager dared not let her run his errand. “Mr. Youngblood is on a business trip, so I’ll just give it to Mr. Hex.” “Alright, then.” Sofia forced a polite smile and watched the manager leave, allowing anxiety to swallow her whole. Following that, she quickly left Cloudscent Tower, feeling her heart about to jump out of her throat. After looking into the information on the resume, she almost broke down. “Mom, what should we do… She’s back! And she has two children with her! They’re… They’re…” They’re Xander’s children! There was no need for proof because she immediately knew their identities after looking at the pictures. The little boy looked almost identical to Xander! Wendy nervously remarked, “We can’t let Yolanda join Cloudscent Enterprise, and we can’t let them see each other either!” If Xander discovered the truth, the Xavier Family would be doomed. Sofia tried hard to calm down as a plan seeded in her mind. She could not let that woman join Cloudscent Enterprise, so she had to do something before Xander returned! … After school, Yolanda arrived to send her children home. The kids were each enjoying their lollipops while chattering about their day at the kindergarten. When they passed by a park, she suddenly heard a depressed voice. “Young lady, I lost my purse while strolling around. I’m having a migraine. Can you help me call my family to get me?” Yolanda looked in that direction and saw a forty to fifty-year-old woman sitting on the bench, looking pale while supporting her head. Noticing her situation, she quickly took out her phone and dialed the number the woman gave her. Meanwhile, Ethan and Emma approached the woman, each giving her a lollipop while speaking in their cute voices. “Have some sweets. Having something sweet when you’re feeling sick always makes things better.” “I can give you a massage!” Although Avelyn Laurent felt utterly uncomfortable, seeing two cute babies surrounding her brightened her mood, and her headache seemed to have subsided. “You’ll feel better after taking a whiff of this.” Yolanda took out a small glass bottle she always had and offered, “I know a little about massages. Why don’t I give you one?” The Rose Family used to be a family of alternative medicine practitioners. Yolanda’s adoptive mother, Nina, was a great masseuse, so she learned a few things from her mother. During these four years, she relied on her friends’ help and her talent in massaging to provide for her two children. A while later, Avelyn surprisingly noticed her migraine had subsided! “Young lady, what kind of medication is this?” The light purplish liquid’s fragrance filled her nose with a pleasant smell. “It’s a type of herbal perfume that helps calm the nerves and improve sleep. It can also help with migraines.” Yolanda observed the woman before her and noticed she seemed to have taken good care of her skin because she did not look her age. When she spoke, her eyes filled with sophistication, which meant she must have been a resolute career woman when she was younger. Meanwhile, Avelyn stared fixedly at the perfume. “Where did you buy this?” This is more useful than any medication the doctors have prescribed! “I made it myself, and it’s not for sale anywhere. Since you need it, I’ll just give this to you.” That perfume was a product of hers and Nina’s joint efforts, so she never sold it to anyone for personal reasons. At that moment, a luxury car stopped a distance away, and Joe, her butler, rushed over. “Mrs. Youngblood, are you alright?” “I’m fine. I was lucky that this young lady helped me.” Avelyn smiled and put on the glasses the butler gave her, but just as she was about to speak, she noticed Ethan’s appearance and became shocked. Joe exclaimed in shock, “This child looks just like Mr. Xander when he was young!”
