Chapter 163 Don't Worry, Mommy. We Can Do It!
Hugo whispered, "Mommy doesn't want Dennis's daddy to see us because she's worried that if we look like Dennis, he might overthink, right?"
To prevent Isabella from overthinking, Hugo deliberately gave her a reason.
Isabella awkwardly moved her lips. She didn't want to lie in front of the children, but she also didn't dare to tell the truth.
Before she could answer, Hugo immediately said, "It's actually easy to solve. Did Mommy forget about Paul's special skill?"
Isabella was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Paul. Her eyes blinked and suddenly brightened as she uttered, "You mean let Paul..."
"Yes!" Hugo nodded knowingly.
Isabella quickly wiped her tears, questioning, "Will this work?"
"It will. Trust me, and trust Paul."
Paul held Isabella's hand and said in her sweet, childlike voice, "Mommy, I can do it."
Dennis also wanted to comfort Isabella, but his lips moved for a long time without saying a word. He could only give her a firm and confident look!
If Isabella didn't want Frederick to see them, he would do everything he could to fulfill Isabella's wish!
He didn't want Mommy to cry, nor did he want her to be sorrowful or anxious, constantly living in fear.
Looking at the children, Isabella felt much more at ease. She hugged all three children together, saying, "Tonight, I'll rely on you!"
"Don't worry, Mommy; we can do it!"
Hugo, Dennis, and Paul said in unison, full of confidence.
Isabella nodded repeatedly, quickly instructing the three children on what to say and what not to say when they saw Frederick. Then she said, "Hurry up and get ready, Elliot will be here to pick you up soon."
"Okay."
A few minutes later, Elliot rang the doorbell.
Isabella nervously brought the three children to Elliot.
They were all wearing masks, so Elliot couldn't see their faces and wasn't surprised.
But looking at their clear eyes, Elliot still stared at Hugo and Dennis for a while, especially Dennis!
Dennis and Hugo, and Justin had identical eyebrows and eyes. Even with masks on, they looked very similar.
And Elliot had been around Dennis for so many years, watching him grow up, so even without seeing the face clearly, he had some doubts.
"This child..."
Before he could finish, Isabella quickly interrupted him, "This is my Justin, what's wrong?"
Seeing Isabella's unease, Elliot didn't want to scare her and said kindly, "He looks a lot like Dennis."
Isabella explained, "He is not Dennis! He is my son Justin!"
She was so distracted tonight that she didn't recognize Dennis.
Elliot replied with a smile, "I know."
Dennis was at home, making Frederick angry. How could he be here?
Elliot would never have thought that the Valdemar family, which had only one descendant for generations, would have other children besides Dennis!
Elliot instinctively looked away and smiled at Hugo, Justin, and Paul, uttering, "Don't be nervous. I'm taking you to meet an uncle. He just wants to talk to you."
Isabella protected Hugo, Justin, and Paul behind her and said to Elliot, "I want to go with them!"
Elliot hesitated, "Ms. Beniere, Eric..."
Isabella interrupted him, "I won't go upstairs. I'll wait for my children downstairs! If he doesn't agree, I won't let my children see him tonight, no matter what!"
"Alright, let's go together then."
Isabella secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Being closer to the children made her feel a bit more at ease.
On the way, Elliot kept chatting with Isabella and the children, comforting them not to be nervous.
Yet, among the mother and her three children, all were tense except for Hugo.
Paul, like Isabella, was timid and scared when something happened.
And Dennis, having lived with Frederick for so many years, was very worried about being recognized and making Isabella nervous.
Elliot almost recognized him just now!
So among the four, only Hugo squinted his eyes slightly, looking calm and relaxed, showing no signs of nervousness.
In stark contrast, the other three wore expressions of deep concern, their brows furrowed and fists clenched, with tension clearly etched on their faces. It was like going to the battlefield!
When they got out of the car downstairs, Isabella quickly called Hugo, Justin, and Paul to the side, squatted down, and looked at them, seriously instructing them again, "Do you remember what Mommy said before?"
"Yes."
"You must remember the purpose of tonight, not to let him find out you look like him. Don't give it away.
And no matter what he says to you, you can stay silent, especially when he asks about your daddy."
"Okay!"
"And the most important thing, if he tries to hurt you, scream. Mommy is downstairs, and I'll rush up to save you. Don't be afraid."
Hugo lovingly tucked Mommy's hair behind her ear, saying, "Don't worry, Mommy. I won't let you down. You wait for us downstairs, we'll be down soon."
"Okay."
Isabella watched as Elliot took the children into the building, feeling a lump in her throat!
How could she not worry? She never thought the three children would meet Frederick one day!
Although the children had thought of a way to deal with it, she was still extremely nervous!
If he found out about the children tonight...
"Isabella," Someone suddenly called her from behind.
Isabella quickly turned around but saw nothing, only darkness behind her.
She thought she had misheard, but as soon as she turned back, the same male voice came from behind again, "Isabella..."
He seemed to be savoring her name, relaxed and joyful, with a hint of delight.
The voice was alluring, deep, and pleasant to the ear.
Isabella was suspicious. This time, she was sure she hadn't misheard; someone was indeed calling her name from behind.
She quickly turned around again.
