Chapter 29 You Suspect Ms. Beniere is Dennis's Biological Mother?
However, as they approached the Valdemar manor, she changed her mind.
Back when she had secretly married Frederick, no one from the Valdemar family had even seen her.
Would it be breaking the terms of their secret marriage if she just showed up unannounced?
'What if Frederick becomes even more reluctant to divorce because of this?'
After much contemplation, Isabella instructed the driver to turn around.
On the taxi ride back to her residence, Isabella felt a pang of regret.
She had spent quite a sum on transportation these past few days.
"And yet, the divorce hasn't gone through. It's so frustrating!"
But soon, her sadness was dispelled by the laughter coming from inside the house.
Freya exclaimed, "Quick, tell me, am I beautiful?"
Hugo, Justin, and Paul chimed in unison, "Beautiful!"
"Haha, and am I cute?"
"Cute!"
"Am I like a goddess?"
"Yes!"
Freya's laughter filled the room.
Isabella couldn't help but join in.
When Freya learned that Isabella had given birth to and raised her children alone for five years, she cried for a long time.
Although Freya was still a single young woman, she understood the difficulties of raising children, especially as a single mother, so she felt sorry for Isabella.
While feeling sorry for her, Freya also felt a deep affection for the children.
So, when Isabella received a call from Nicholas and went to meet him, Freya came to look after the children.
Isabella opened the door and entered the room.
As soon as Hugo, Justin, and Paul saw her, they immediately got up from the floor and rushed over, "Mommy!"
Isabella responded with kisses and hugs for each of them.
Freya was overjoyed, "Hugo, Justin, and Paul are so adorable, and they're so handsome. I really like them!"
Isabella smiled and said, "You should have a few of your own."
"No, giving birth is painful, and I'm afraid. Besides, I care a lot about appearance. What if my children aren't as good-looking? I can't put them back."
Isabella said, "You're your parents' only precious daughter, and they're looking forward to having grandchildren. You'll have to have children sooner or later."
"I won't have children. Whether you agree or not, I'm already their godmother. When my parents come back, I'll bring Hugo, Justin, and Paul to meet them and tell them that these are my three children!"
Isabella smiled helplessly and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I've decided, Wavecrest Restaurant, my treat."
"Go there? It's expensive."
"A cheap place wouldn't match the looks of my three precious ones. Let's consider it a family gathering! After my treat, they'll be like my godchildren! I've already booked a private room, so hurry up and get ready."
Isabella felt sorry about the money, but she didn't want to dampen everyone's excitement.
She turned to Hugo, Justin, and Paul and said, "Go change your clothes. We're going to have a feast with your Aunt Freya."
"Yay, a feast!"
Hugo, Justin, and Paul were thrilled.
As soon as Hugo, Justin, and Paul went back to their room, Freya said, "Congratulations on getting rid of that scumbag. Show me your divorce certificate."
Isabella's face fell, "I didn't get divorced."
"What?"
"The children don't know that I want a divorce."
Freya asked anxiously in a lowered voice, "What happened? Wasn't it supposed to happen this afternoon? Why didn't it go through?"
"He stood me up."
"What is he thinking? He obviously doesn't like you, yet he's still clinging to you! Could he be trying to get back at you in this way? If that's the case, he's really twisted."
Isabella couldn't understand why Frederick refused to divorce her.
Logically, Frederick should dislike her and want to be far away from her, completely cutting ties with her.
Instead, he was avoiding the divorce.
It was strange and unreasonable!
"I think he's just bullying you. Tell me who he is, and I'll have my parents stand up for you."
Freya's parents were both university professors, so they had a wide network of connections. These students have developed careers in various fields, giving the family a wide network.
While the Rivera family was not a prominent one in Teronica, they were highly respected there.
If they were not so modest, they would definitely be a prominent presence in Teronica.
Currently, Freya's parents were also prominent figures in their field. If someone needed help, reaching out to them would surely get things sorted out.
However, Freya didn't know that her husband was Frederick.
Back then, not even the Beniere family knew that the Valdemar family, with a lot of expensive gifts, was proposing marriage.
It was only after she got married that she found out that her husband was actually a member of the Valdemar family, named Frederick.
She heard that because Frederick's birth chart was unfavorable, the Valdemar family chose Isabella based on his numerology and horoscope to change his fate.
The Valdemar family didn't reveal their identity when they proposed, they just offered a huge sum of money.
They also mentioned that Frederick was disabled and wanted Angelia to marry him.
Angelia immediately refused when she heard that the other party was disabled. She cried and said she would rather die than marry him.
But the Beniere family couldn't bear to part with the expensive gifts, so the situation of Isabella being a stand-in bride arose.
The Beniere family was afraid that the truth about the stand-in marriage would be exposed, so they forced her to sign a confidentiality agreement.
She was forced to compromise, considering it as repaying the Beniere family's kindness for raising her for twenty years.
Freya and Eleanor didn't know about these things.
They only knew that she was studying well, and suddenly dropped out of school to get married. Two years into the marriage, her husband accused her of infidelity and not being a good wife.
