Chapter 430: Chapter 430: It’s Best to Let Him be the Father
"Mummy..." Hank Thompson saw that Charlotte Thompson’s expression was somewhat ugly. Tearfully, he looked at her. Noticing that something was amiss, the other children immediately gathered around Charlotte.
Impatient Grace Thompson quickly opened her mouth, fearing that Charlotte would be angry.
"Mummy, actually, several days ago, Uncle Battleson came to look for us when you weren’t home. He brought us food every day, played games with us, and said he would be our father in the future..."
"No, no, he’s not our father. Our father should be Adam Ross."
Chad Thompson hurriedly responded, his face blushing.
Although Justin Battleson had been treating them very well these past few days, in his and Jack Thompson’s hearts, Adam Ross was the most suitable person to be their father.
"You can’t say that. Uncle Battleson has been so good to us, and he wasn’t at fault for any of the incidents that happened before. It was all that evil woman’s fault. It’s actually most suitable for him to be our father considering how well he treats us."
Hank Thompson tearfully refuted Chad Thompson’s argument. Grace Thompson immediately applauded him, as though he was right.
"Not at all. Even if it was the fault of that evil woman, he still hurt our mummy. But Adam Ross didn’t. Adam Ross is the most suitable person to be our father."
Jack Thompson, his voice soft, spoke nonchalantly. However, his face was serious.
His uncanny maturity couldn’t help but bring a faint smile to Charlotte’s face. She sighed, seeming not to care about the children’s argument.
"No, no. Adam Ross as our father won’t do. Only Justin Battleson can. They’re not the same. Only Justin Battleson is suited to be our mummy’s partner."
Grace Thompson quickly shook her head, arguing vehemently.
Cyrus Thompson, who had been silent all along, couldn’t help but speak. "I’ve calculated it with Morse code and probability theories before, and Justin Battleson is actually the most suitable to be our father."
Cyrus Thompson looked at Charlotte, her expression calm and composed. He spoke in a low, yet clear voice, pronouncing each word distinctly.
"From every aspect, Justin Battleson is more suitable than Adam Ross."
"You’re talking nonsense." Chad Thompson was a bit upset. He had always adored his older brother, but he did not think so with the current situation. His eyes seemed to darken a bit.
"Exactly, nonsense."
"No, you’re the one talking nonsense."
The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned lively. Charlotte called out with a stern face.
"Okay, are you all really so concerned about this matter?"
Charlotte understood in her heart that these children were very much in need of a father’s love. However, she knew that they should not be hasty about it.
Hearing Charlotte’s voice, the noisy children became quiet.
They looked at Charlotte in silence, and saw that her eyes were calm, and that there was a frankness in her gaze.
"Actually..." Olivia Thompson, who had been in the corner the whole time, suddenly spoke. Her voice was childlike, but there was a firmness in it.
"In fact, mummy should be the one to make the decision."
"Whoever mummy likes should be our father."
After Olivia Thompson finished speaking, she looked softly at Charlotte in front of her. Charlotte was somewhat surprised.
The surrounding older brothers and sisters also began to ponder. Olivia Thompson tilted her head and laughed.
As Olivia Thompson’s voice faded, everyone fell silent. It seemed as if the entire surroundings had quieted down. Olivia Thompson nestled into Charlotte’s arms, her face showing a hint of vulnerability for a moment.
