Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: When Has Mommy Ever Deceived You?
"Alright, my darlings, let’s go."
Just at that moment, Charlotte Thompson came downstairs, but was greeted by the cries of several children rising and falling in turn.
Coming down with Charlotte was Jonathan Thompson, who remembered that today Charlotte was going to send Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson back to the Ross Family, so he wanted to come down and see.
Normally a bit groggy, he became fully alert upon hearing the children’s cries, and even rushed down the stairs faster than Charlotte.
Although Jonathan often teased the little boys, his affection for the children was in no way inferior to that of Justin Battleson and Charlotte.
"Hey, why has everyone started crying?"
Jonathan quickly moved to Chad Thompson, who was crying the hardest, and immediately picked him up.
"Who bullied you? Tell Uncle Jonathan, and I will stand up for you."
"Everything was fine, why the tears now?"
Not just Chad, even Grace Thompson started crying now.
On the side, Jack Thompson and Hank Thompson both had red rims around their eyes, quietly wiping away tears, leaving only Cyrus Thompson beside them with furrowed brows, not knowing what to think.
"Mummy, why don’t you want us anymore? You clearly promised you wouldn’t leave us behind... How could you lie to us?"
While hugging Jonathan’s neck and sobbing, Chad directly addressed Charlotte with these words.
Charlotte, suddenly accused, was taken aback.
"Mummy, please don’t send Jack and Chad back to the Ross Family, just let them stay with us, stay by our side."
Grace clutched at Charlotte’s clothes, her grip relentless even as she crumpled the fabric.
Soon, the children’s crying filled the entire villa, and Mr. Thompson and James Thompson also came out.
Meanwhile, Justin Battleson, who had been waiting outside for a while, entered upon seeing that Charlotte had still not brought out the children, and he saw this scene.
The children were sobbing bitterly, the adults looking at each other in bewilderment.
Charlotte was even more puzzled in her heart, wondering what age these children had reached, becoming so suddenly sentimental?
Normally, they wouldn’t cry like this unless they had been greatly frightened or something similar.
"My darlings, behave, when did I ever say I didn’t want you? And sending Jack and Chad back to the Ross Family today is just to get their names into the family register, they will be back this afternoon, right? Didn’t we agree that Mummy would take you for some delicious food?" Charlotte was really confused now.
"Mummy, you’re lying, you won’t bring Jack and Chad back in the afternoon. I won’t let you go to the Ross Family, I don’t want to, you send Jack and Chad back!"
Grace shook her head repeatedly, then pulled Chad even closer, without any intention of letting go, and she kept crying, starting to be somewhat unreasonable.
"Grace."
Charlotte pressed Grace’s hand, rarely serious when speaking to the children, but she did so wanting to stabilize their emotions.
As expected, Charlotte’s somewhat cooler voice somewhat calmed Grace’s emotions.
She kept sobbing, her eyes and nose red.
"Mummy... Grace doesn’t want Jack and Chad to leave us."
Charlotte hurriedly said, "Who told you Mummy won’t bring Jack and Chad back? When has Mummy ever lied to you?"
