Their expressions froze, and the anticipation that lit up their faces disappeared instantly.
"What do you mean by this?" Wrenn asked with immediate dissatisfaction.
Jean walked over to the sofa and took a seat, his expression unchanging. novelbin
"What do I mean? I think you should know very well. I've mentioned before that now is not the right time toacknowledge the children."
Wrenn couldn't suppress her frustration and challenged him, "Why do you need the right time to acknowledge thechildren? If they are truly part of our family, we can acknowledge them and bring them back to the Beauvortfamily at any time!"
Upon hearing this, Jean glanced at her coldly.
"Do I need to remind you how you rejected them back then? You slandered them, saying that they're putting up anact in front of you, and hurt the children deeply. Now that you want to acknowledge them, it depends on whetherthe children are willing to see you as their grandparents or not."
Wrenn was left speechless, fully aware that she had been in the wrong.
"At that time, your father and I were unaware of their true identity. How could we be blamed? If we had knownthey had the Beauvort family's blood, they're our grandchildren and we'd be their grandparents, we would havecertainly acknowledged them! This time, your father and I flew here just to verify their DNA. After all, testresults can be manipulated, and this involves the bloodline of the Beauvort family, so we can't be careless."
Jean's face darkened significantly at these words, and an intense chill spread all over his body.
"Are you saying that you don't trust me at all?" he asked sharply.
Wrenn realized her mistake in her moment of impatience and quickly denied it. "No, that's not what I meant..."
"No?"
Jean snorted, "But it seems your actions and words are always the same!"
The tension in the room skyrocketed, filling the air with stiffness.
"Ever since I chose to be with Neera, you've constantly questioned, opposed, and obstructed me in every possibleway. You harbored all sorts of prejudice and disdain towards her. I've tolerated you numerous times becauseyou're my mother. I've let her endure unfair treatment and suffering because of you! Now, when I say that thosethree kids are mine, you still doubt it, going so far as to demand a retest! If that's the case, you don't have toacknowledge them as your grandchildren anymore. After all, I'm sorry for Neera."
He paused for a moment, his lashes drooping slightly, and a trace of sadness flickered in his eyes.
"What happened back then inflicted severe psychological trauma on her. She endured countless judgmental gazesand accusations, and I didn't know how to help her heal those wounds… She still doesn't know the truth. I'm notsaying anything now because I want to find a way for her to gradually come to terms with it. If you expose thisnow, she might not be able to handle it, and there's a chance she'll disappear with the children! Besides, it's notlike you two lack grandchildren. There's no need to pin all your hopes on me in the future!"
With that, he rose from the sofa and left.
Wrenn was left stunned, her mouth agape, utterly taken aback.
Frederic, on the other hand, hadn't expected Jean's resolute response. He quickly stood up and called out to Jean,trying to ease the tension.
"Jean, please wait a moment. Your mother and I really didn't mean it that way. We just wanted to double-check. Ifyou don't want the test, there's no need for it. We trust you, but... as for the grandkids, we still need toacknowledge them, so please don't be upset with us, okay?"
Wrenn also recognized that her previous words had deeply upset her son, and she promptly admitted her mistake.
"Son, it's all my fault. Please don't hold it against me..."
Jean came to a halt but remained visibly angered, his expression still unyielding as he replied coldly.
"I'll say this one last time, now is not the time to acknowledge the children! I have my own plan for when andhow to do it. I hope you two won't meddle and mess up my arrangements. Otherwise, you can forget abouthearing them call you grandpa and grandma in this lifetime."
After saying that, he left.
