Chapter 1638
Adrian looked puzzled as he tilted his little head in confusion. âWhy not? Dad, donât you want to see
Tristan?â
Tristan was his own flesh and blood. How could he not want to see him?
However, the current situation was unpredictable. Especially with these two disruptive kids around.
Marcus said in a deep voice, âDidn't I tell you not to let anyone find out you're not Tristan? How
come Lea figured it out so quickly?â
Adrian hurriedly waved his hands, trying to express his innocence. âNo, no, I didn't tell her anything.
Aunt Lea figured it out by herself.â
In truth, he had let his secret slip a little, but he was afraid his father would be angry, so he didn't
dare admit it.
Lea didn't want Adrian to be blamed, so she confessed. âMarcus, donât blame him. He really didn't
tell me. I figured it out on my own.â
Marcus looked at Lea. "How did you figure it out?â
âWell... I guess I noticed it from his attitude towards Sophia. The real Tristan might not be fond of
Sophia, but he wouldn't be so disgusted with her to the point of hostility. And there's also my sixth
sense, which is usually spot on.â
Marcus squinted. âWho else knows about this?"
Lea shook her head. âNo one. I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone. I always keep my word.â
Marcus frowned. âYou promised him you wouldn't tell anyone, but now you're taking your parents
and Sophia to meet his mother. What do you think they'll think when they see another boy who
looks just like him?â
Ah...
Lea was stumped.
"So, what if they see? Who cares?! Marcus, I guess you've probably figured out by now that Sophia
tricked you into staying with her.
Why donât we just clear the air today? Let Sophia's true colors be revealed. You can use this
opportunity to return to that good lady. She's your real wife and your childrenâs birth mother!â
Marcus gave Lea a wry smile upon hearing this.
He wanted to do that, but was it as simple as she made it sound?
If Thaddeus and Sophia were the type of people who could be reasoned with, he wouldn't have
been deceived and imprisoned for so many years. They would never let him go peacefully after
being exposed. They were not the type to reason or act logically.
His biggest worry was that they would do something irreversible when they saw the two children
with Ellinor upstairs.
And he, in his current state, couldn't do anything.
He couldn't even stand!
What could he do? He needed to think of a plan quickly. As his mind raced, he pulled out his phone
to send a message to Ellinor.
Just then, someone took the vacant seat across from him.
Marcus instantly became alert, thinking it was Sophia. He quickly put away his phone, which he
hadn't finished typing on, and looked up.
His pupils contracted in shock.
Her?!
