Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: Establishing the Ancestral Hall
"I’m really sorry for being late."
After dealing with the media outside, Adam Ross looked at Charlotte Thompson with an added touch of guilt in his eyes.
"I didn’t expect there to be so many media and paparazzi camped outside; had I known, I should have come out earlier to meet you."
"It’s alright, it just scared the kids a bit," Charlotte shook her head and looked down at Chad Thompson, who was tugging at the corner of her clothes.
Jack Thompson also peeked out quietly from behind Charlotte, looking curiously around before saying to Charlotte, "Mommy, are those people gone?"
"Jack and Chad, don’t be afraid, it’s safe now." Charlotte nodded to the two little ones.
Only then did Jack breathe a sigh of relief, patting his chest, "I was really startled when those people suddenly ran over."
Then he looked up at Adam Ross and sweetly called him daddy.
Adam’s lips curled into a smile; he picked up Chad in one arm and took Jack’s hand with the other, nodding to Charlotte with his chin.
"Let’s go, Mr. Thompson has been waiting for you for a long time."
Charlotte nodded and followed Adam Ross into The Ross Mansion.
Charlotte thought she would see some of the Ross Family elders that Adam had mentioned before, but the only one in the living room was Mr. Ross.
Upon seeing Jack and Chad, his face immediately brightened with a smile, and he eagerly waved the children over.
The children obediently went over to Mr. Ross, encircling him.
After comparing the children’s height and playfully pinching their cheeks, Mr. Thompson raised his eyes to Charlotte.
"Charlotte, I really appreciate it, and I apologize for all the trouble it’s caused you."
Mr. Ross’s voice had a note of apology in it.
Charlotte was well aware of the ’trouble’ Mr. Ross was referring to, but she didn’t mind, casually shaking her head.
Mr. Ross valued the children so much, and so did Charlotte.
But as long as she could keep them safe, what did it matter if she encountered more troubles related to herself?
"Let’s go, grandpa will take you to the ancestral temple."
As soon as Mr. Ross finished speaking, Adam Ross moved behind him and began pushing his wheelchair.
Jack and Chad followed hand in hand beside Adam Ross, with Charlotte walking on the other side.
Behind The Ross Mansion was a vast estate, and within it was the Ross Family’s ancestral temple.
After a series of left and right turns, they finally reached the ancestral temple.
Several people were standing outside the temple, seemingly waiting for Mr. Ross and the others.
But their gazes unanimously fell upon Jack and Chad beside Adam Ross.
Suddenly under such scrutiny, the two children naturally felt awkward, yet they stood tall and proud, showing not a trace of fear.
Mr. Ross’s eyes swept over the scene with a touch of relief and admiration.
"This is only my second time coming to the Ross Family’s ancestral temple."
Looking at the ancestral temple before him, Adam Ross spoke softly next to Charlotte.
Charlotte had also heard Mr. Thompson talk about the Thompson Family’s ancestral temple, but she had never really been there. However, after returning to the Thompson Family, Mr. Thompson had shown her the family genealogy.
"Open the ancestral temple!"
At Mr. Ross’s command, the temple doors were slowly pulled open.
