Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Truly Worthy of being the Granddaughter-in-law I Admire
After the children were tucked into their own beds, Charlotte Thompson closed the bedroom door. She went to the living room where the maid was tidying up the toys left behind by the children.
But when Charlotte turned around, she noticed that Jasmine Clarkson was still sitting on the sofa.
It seemed she was waiting there for Charlotte, and as soon as Jasmine noticed Charlotte coming down the stairs, she waved her over.
Charlotte approached respectfully, "Grandma."
"Sit, sit."
Jasmine smiled and nodded, taking Charlotte’s hand and motioning for her to sit beside her. Next to Jasmine was a garland the children had made for her.
Charlotte knew in her heart that Jasmine must have something to say to her now.
However, Charlotte did not ask but quietly observed Jasmine, waiting for her to speak first.
Jasmine coughed once and then looked at Charlotte seriously, "Charlotte, what do you plan to do about Jack and Chad, those two children?"
Charlotte had not expected Jasmine to ask such a question when she began to speak.
Yet considering that it would only be a few days until Mr. Ross’s birthday, Jasmine could not possibly be unaware.
It seemed Jasmine’s current concerns were likely the same as Adam Ross’s.
However, what was unknown now was whether Jasmine knew that a woman who claimed to be the biological mother of Jack and Chad had already been to the Ross Family.
"Grandma, I have always treated Jack and Chad as my own sons, and to me, their meaning is just as important as it is for Cyrus and Hank."
Charlotte sat up straight, answering earnestly.
"But you should also be aware that these two children ultimately carry the Ross Family’s blood, and sooner or later, they will return to the Ross Family."
A glint of clarity passed through Jasmine’s eyes, but her tone remained unyielding.
"Grandma, I have always been very clear about this matter. If the two children wish to return to the Ross Family to trace their roots on their own, I won’t stop them."
Charlotte’s tone was calm, but her hands resting on her legs tightened continuously as she spoke.
"However, if these two children continue to see me as their birth mother and wish to stay by my side, I will do everything in my power to protect them. If the Ross Family cannot keep my children safe, then no matter what, I won’t hand them back over to the Ross Family."
"With the Thompson Family backing you, of course, you wouldn’t fear the Ross Family," Jasmine spoke lightly.
"No, Grandma." But Jasper did not expect that Charlotte would refute her words without hesitation.
"The identity of the miss of the Thompson Family is not important. What’s important is that I am the mother of these two children, and my duty is to protect them fully."
Even if Charlotte were an ordinary person and Jack and Chad were still of Ross blood, if the Ross Family tried to forcibly take them back against the children’s wishes, Charlotte would absolutely not agree.
"Grandma, you also know that a woman turns fierce when she becomes a mother. These children are the best parts of my life. I feel it is not only that I gave life to the children but that in a mysterious way, the children have chosen me."
A gentle smile lifted the corners of Charlotte’s mouth.
The children would always be Charlotte’s Achilles’ heel, placed in the deepest part of her heart.
Jasmine Clarkson looked intently at Charlotte in front of her, and suddenly, a smile blossomed on her previously expressionless face as she took Charlotte’s hand and gently patted the back of it.
"Good child, you truly are a good child, and worthy of being the granddaughter-in-law I approved of."
