Chapter 781 I Don't Want to Lie to You
Lauren lay in Jasper's arms, her words sending a chill through Adeline's entire body.
She wanted so badly to rush over and hug Lauren, to tell her, "Mommy's here."
But... she could only turn her head and silently weep.
Willow noticed something was off with Adeline and quickly raised her voice, saying she needed to get more medicine for Dennis, and pulled Adeline out of the yard.
As they left, Adeline heard Nova's clear voice:
"Mr. Foster, it seems like Lauren's mommy really came."
"I just saw a car outside that looked like it belonged to Mr. Phoebe's family. Could it be Lauren's mom?"
Nova's words made Adeline's heart race with panic.
Once Willow got her outside, she immediately entered the car parked out front.
"Driver, go!"
Sitting in the back seat, she pulled down the partition, changed her clothes, and couldn't help but sob uncontrollably.
She wasn't a good mother, she wasn't! For the sake of her own mother, she had abandoned her children... She had failed them!
Back at Swan Villa, Nova's words left Jasper and Dennis stunned.
Lauren jumped out of Jasper's arms and ran towards the front door.
When she got outside, she didn't see the car Nova mentioned, only a vehicle driving off into the distance.
The car was already far away, just a small black dot in the distance.
Lauren opened her mouth, staring blankly at the dot.
"Mommy."
By the time Jasper caught up, the car had disappeared completely.
Jasper looked at Lauren, who was staring into the distance, and his voice turned hoarse.
"Lauren."
He knelt down and hugged her tightly. "Your mommy isn't coming back."
"In the future, don't look for her anymore."
Held in Jasper's arms, Lauren continued to stare in the direction Adeline had left, her voice trembling with tears.
"But Mommy came."
"Mommy must have been here."
"She wouldn't abandon us..."
Jasper held her tightly. "When you grow up, you'll understand."
"Your mommy didn't abandon you, and she doesn't not love you. It's just... she chose her own family."
He was grateful that when Adeline chose the Phoebe family, she left the children with him.
The Phoebe family cared about Blake, Bennett, and Lauren because they had Foster blood, but they didn't mind that they also had Phoebe genes.
Because he knew the children inherited Adeline's genes.
Nothing to do with the Phoebe family or Howard.
Thinking of this, Jasper carried Lauren back into the yard.
"Daddy promises you... once I handle everything, I'll bring Mommy back for you, okay?"
Lauren bit her lip, stayed silent for a moment, then nodded quietly.
"Okay."
Jasper sighed and carried Lauren back inside.
Not long after, Blake woke up.
Blake looked at Lauren silently. "She..."
Lauren shook her head, walked over, and held Blake's hand. "She didn't come."
"But Blake, don't be sad. Daddy promised me he'd bring Mommy back. He told us not to worry about grown-up problems anymore!"
Blake, pale-faced, closed his eyes and gave a bitter smile.
Mommy used to care about them the most.
But now, even when he fainted from coughing up blood, she didn't come to see them.
It seemed like Mommy was really determined to separate from Daddy.
She must truly believe Daddy was the one who killed Grandma.
He was only six years old, and there was little he could do.
If the adults didn't try, what could he do?
After thinking this, Blake sighed, holding Lauren and Bennett's hands.
"Then I'll take care of you from now on."
Thinking of this, Blake looked up at Jasper.
"We want to go back to Radiance Springs."
They were too young.
If Jasper stayed here to fight the Phoebe and Torres families, they would only become pawns for the enemy.
Back in Radiance Springs, even if their parents weren't around, at least they would be safe and not a burden.
Jasper paused, then nodded.
"Alright, tomorrow morning, I'll have Jason take you back."
Blake nodded and closed his eyes.
Bennett sighed, walked over, and gently patted Jasper's shoulder.
"Mr. Foster, we'll wait for you to bring Mommy back to Radiance Springs."
Even though Lauren didn't want to leave, seeing her brothers' determination, she could only cry and cling to Jasper.
"You promised me, you have to do it."
"If you don't bring Mommy back to Radiance Springs, don't come back either!"
Jasper held Lauren, feeling her trembling back, and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, Daddy promises."
A sleepless night.
Jasper spent the whole night talking with his three little ones.
By morning, Blake was asleep on the hospital bed, Bennett on a recliner, and Lauren in Jasper's arms.
In the morning, Jason opened the door, seeing Jasper with the three kids, and couldn't help but smile.
"You really look like a perfect dad."
Jasper didn't mind the title.
He gently woke the three kids and, with Jason, took them to the airport.
Outside Swan Villa, David had arranged two convoys to escort the kids safely.
Joseph and Nova stood in the hallway, holding hands, watching their cousins leave.
"It's quite a sight."
"More impressive than the convoy for our future wedding!"
Nova's face turned red, and she quickly let go of Joseph's hand.
"Who wants to marry you!"
Watching Nova run off, Joseph couldn't help but shout.
"Why are you embarrassed? We're only six or seven! We have many years to go!"
"And my dad hasn't found a new wife yet. I won't get married before him, so at least twenty years!"
Dennis laughed so hard he almost fell over.
"Joseph, are you cursing your dad to be single for twenty years?"
Joseph crossed his arms and huffed.
"If he doesn't find my real mom, he won't marry anyone else for twenty years!"
"I'll take responsibility."
At Magnolia Estate, Oliver took a drag of his cigarette, looking at Mia with red eyes.
"You can ask me for anything. If I can do it, I will."
"But I won't marry you, and I won't love you."
"I promised Joseph I'd find his real mom and marry her."
He stubbed out his cigarette.
"And I don't like you."
"I don't want to lie to you."
"I don't know why I was so impulsive last night."
Mia bit her lip, tears welling up.
But she picked up a pillow and threw it at Oliver.
"Jerk!"
"Get out!"
"Get out of here!"
