Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Biological Father
They actually didn’t want Charlotte Thompson to return to Druarus, they could better take care of her if she stayed in Ashton.
But there was no use, Charlotte’s stance was firm, she insisted on going.
Her doting family members have always been helpless against her wishes, and so they had no choice but to agree.
"Brother, could you help me investigate that middle-aged man’s information again? Especially his connections, who he used to interact with and so forth, the more detailed the better."
Pressed for time, Charlotte stumbled out her words.
"Why do you suddenly want to investigate him again?" Henry Thompson was somewhat perplexed, not understanding the change in her behavior.
Even though she hadn’t mentioned a name, Henry immediately knew who she was talking about.
After the man passed away years ago, they had promised to keep this matter buried within their hearts, never to be mentioned again.
One reason was to prevent the child from feeling inferior for being adopted.
The second reason was that they had the capability to raise two children.
Now that the two children had grown smarter and more endearing with age, everyone tacitly refrained from bringing up the topic.
"I suspect I’ve found the child’s biological father." Charlotte paused briefly before dropping this bombshell.
Hearing her say this, Henry was shocked.
They had searched for so long back then without any leads, yet Charlotte stumbled upon one as soon as she returned.
Henry’s fingers began to fidget.
Another reason they had given up searching was that they couldn’t bear to return the child if they did find the biological family.
If they truly confirm the identity of the child’s biological father, they cannot stop them from returning to their true home.
A trace of melancholy appeared in Henry’s eyes as he sighed, his heart truly cared for all his children.
Within the Thompson Family, none of them treated the children any differently because they were adopted.
Every child received the same treatment, the love for the two children never diminished.
"Alright, I won’t tell the children. I’ll have someone start the investigation immediately, and I’ll inform you as soon as there’s news."
This was a serious matter, and Henry responded gravely.
A glint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, although he was deeply resistant, He knew they owed the children the truth.
No matter if they finally chose to stay or leave, they would support their decision.
If they did not wish to leave, no one could take them away, the Thompson Family was not to be trifled with.
"Let’s not tell the children about this for now, I’m afraid they’ll overthink it," Charlotte sighed.
The two children were both sensitive and would definitely overthink things if they found out.
Henry understood her concerns and only replied with a grunt.
Henry hung up the phone with hesitation and heaved a heavy sigh.
Just as he was about to have his assistant investigate the man’s information.
He turned around and was rooted to the spot. Speechless, not knowing what to say.
Two pairs of pure, innocent eyes stared at him, a hint of sadness in their gaze.
He had just been lost in thought, not noticing that they had already appeared behind him. He was struck with surprise.
"Uncle, was Mommy just talking about our biological father?" the two children asked him tentatively.
Their sincere gaze made it impossible for Henry to lie. He pursed his lips, at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain to them.
They had already heard the whole conversation. They just couldn’t believe it and wanted to confirm it once more.
Their small hands clenched together slowly. The children couldn’t accept this news.
