Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: In Love
No matter for Charlotte or anyone else, some things had now become a foregone conclusion, with no other means of change.
Not long after, the Ross Family issued an online statement declaring that Jack and Chad were indeed blood of their family.
It turned out that Adam and the children’s mother had separated due to some accident after giving birth to the two children, and upon the mother’s death, the children were adopted by Charlotte.
Later on, the Ross Family had contacted Charlotte to learn about the children’s situation but still chose to have the children stay with Charlotte, all the while claiming they were her children.
Now that this incident had stirred up trouble, the Ross Family intended to quell the online rumors by clarifying the children’s identity.
At the same time, Adam publicized that he and the mother of Jack and Chad had been in love and married early on, but tragically, the two were forced to separate after having children, and ultimately, he received news of the children’s mother’s death.
Regardless of how many people believed this account from the Ross Family or Adam, it was accepted as the truth by everyone.
And, of course, Charlotte knew what the real truth was.
But to her, that no longer mattered.
Afterwards, Charlotte immediately responded to the Ross Family and Adam, acknowledging that the two children were indeed adopted by her.
With such a statement, online discussions also calmed down.
Charlotte’s only worry was that, with the children’s identities now revealed, it meant they could likely be taken back to the Ross Family’s home.
Since this possibility had crossed Charlotte’s mind, Mr. Ross naturally thought of it too.
So, he had Adam contact Charlotte, telling her that the children would still live with her but would return to the Ross Family on weekends, everything else remaining as it was before.
These words undoubtedly served as a reassurance for Charlotte, comforting her troubled heart.
However, to deal with the online situation, the Ross Family still needed to have Jack and Chad officially recognize their ancestry.
Of course, such matters were not urgent, as what mattered most now were the children’s emotions.
After that, Charlotte stayed by Jack’s side since the day’s events had greatly distressed him, causing even his sleep to be restless, his little face almost completely wrinkled up.
"Mommy, I’m so scared... Mommy..." He murmured softly in his sleep, and as soon as Charlotte saw this, she immediately grasped Jack’s hand.
"Don’t be afraid, mommy is here, mommy will protect Jack." Charlotte placed the palm of Jack’s hand against her face, whispering softly at his side.
Then she gently patted Jack’s body and hummed a lullaby, lulling him back to sleep.
This was a lullaby Charlotte had learned when the children were born, which she always used to soothe them to sleep, and only stopped singing as the children grew up.
Soon, Jack’s emotions returned to a peaceful state, but he kept holding onto Charlotte’s hand, unwilling to let go.
Charlotte did not struggle and just watched Jack, gently stroking his cheek.
"Mommy..."
Suddenly the door was opened slightly, and when Charlotte turned her head, she saw the other children appear at the entrance.
"Can we see Jack?" Grace asked softly.
