FULL NOVELXO Chapter 61
Chapter 61 Our Children
Early the next morning, Phillip had cleverly disguised himself and arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten.
Unaware that they were being watched, Lukas and Luna hurriedly rushed toward Marcus, who was waiting for them.
“Mr. Lewis, where’s my mom?” Luna asked Marcus in a cheerful tone.
A couple of days ago, Cynthia took the initiative to reveal the identities of Lukas and Luna to Marcus. She sidestepped the topic of the children’s father, simply informing Marcus that both Lukas and Luna were her children and asking him to keep it a secret.
After the initial shock, Marcus quickly came to terms with the reality and willingly signed the non–disclosure agreement.
“Ms. Shelley is still in a meeting. Why don’t you come with me to the office and wait for her?” With one kid on each side, Marcus suddenly felt like he was on top of the world.
He had barely taken two steps when he felt as if someone was watching him. Marcus quickly scanned his surroundings but didn’t spot anyone suspicious. With no other choice, he hurriedly led the two children away.
As he watched their retreating figures, a storm of emotions surged within Phillip. The two children I just saw bore a striking resemblance to Colton when he was a child. Even their gestures and expressions when they spoke were similar to Colton’s!
“Go investigate! Find out who this so–called relative really is!” Phillip practically roared the command, his mind racing with countless speculations. He even reached for his phone, contemplating calling Colton.
When it came down to it, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Before things are settled, it’s better not to tell him just yet.
Upon returning to the Zeller residence, Phillip paced anxiously back and forth. He even began to circle the mansion, leaving the housekeeper utterly bewildered.
By the afternoon, the other party called. “Although the Shelley family has been keeping a low profile for the past couple of years, our investigations have confirmed that no such person. exists in the Shelley family.”
Phillip’s heart suddenly leaped into his throat.
“Are you certain that this person truly doesn’t exist?” Phillip repeatedly sought confirmation, and the other party kept affirming.

Just as Phillip was on the verge of ecstatic joy, the other party’s subsequent remark instantly dampened his mood. “However, according to the records, those two kids are only three years old now.
“Three years old?” Phillip’s smile instantly fell. “Are you sure it’s not four years old?”
The records show the children as being three years old, but as you know, it’s hard to tell children’s exact age just by looking.” the other party said, their voice filled with unease.
After hanging up the phone, Phillip pondered for a long time before finally making a decision.
He immediately called Cynthia, inviting her to meet up.
Cynthia cheerfully showed up, oblivious to what had transpired. It wasn’t until Phillip presented the photos of Lukas and Luna that her expression instantly changed.
A thought struck Phillip, and he deliberately said, “I’ve come to know the true identities of the two children. They are not the so–called relatives‘ children you claimed them to be.”
Cynthia’s heart gradually sank.
She dared not imagine what kind of reaction Phillip or Colton would have if they discovered the true identities of Lukas and Luna. Even more so, she couldn’t fathom how she would react if they were to take the children away from her.
Cynthia didn’t want to reveal the truth to Phillip, nor did she want to deceive him.
Phillip squinted his eyes, his expression turning stern. “Secrets will eventually be disclosed. Even if you carefully conceal it, you will inevitably leave traces, and I will naturally be able to find them.”
Just as he was about to probe further and inquire whether Colton was the children’s father, Yoel appeared out of nowhere. He wrapped his arm around Cynthia’s shoulder, grinning at Phillip. “You’ve figured it out? Actually, Lukas and Luna are our children.”
“What!” Phillip slapped the table and immediately stood up. “How could they possibly be your children!”
“Not long after Colton and she, divorced, I met her and was instantly smitten. However, it took a considerable amount of time and effort to win her over. Eventually, we had a slip–up and ended up with Lukas and Luna. Otherwise, how could my parents have possibly accepted her?”
