Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 

After a night’s rest at home. Rebecca set off the next day with her parents and brothers, taking the two babies on a whirlwind tour of Alagua City. 

Every day in Alagua City meant indulging in the delicious local cuisine, with different dishes changing so often that they never got bored. 

On paths adorned with blooming blossoms, Lily and Kev were placed on the ground. The two little ones wobbled. precariously but managed a few tentative steps forward. 

Everyone retrieved their phones as they joyfully captured the babies‘ first attempts at walking. 

This Christmas, they stocked up on fireworks and firecrackers. When Christmas Eve arrived, the night sky erupted in an array of dazzling fireworks, big and small. 

As fireworks echoed in the skies, Rebecca and Charlie each cradled a baby, shielding their cars and enjoying the spectacle together. 

Lily and Key were initially startled but soon captivated by the breathtaking fireworks display. 

However, their young age meant they couldn’t watch for long. After just a minute outside, they were swiftly whisked indoors, their ears covered and protected until the fireworks concluded. 

Now at nine months old, Lily and Kev could toddle a few steps on their little feet. They couldn’t get enough of the fireworks and, unable to hear the commotion outside, eagerly grabbed the adults‘ hands, wanting to join in the fun outdoors. 

Charlie simply scooped up Kev and headed outside. 

Adrian approached, glanced at Rebecca, then bent down and lifted Lily high above his head, setting her on his shoulders for a ride. 

Rebecca jumped in surprise, instinctively reaching out to steady Lily 

Adrian proved to be remarkably strong as Lily quickly settled securely on his shoulders, her tiny hands gripping his head, “Becky, let them watch the kids for a bit. You should rest,” Patrick suggested. 

After looking after the children for a while, Becky was understandably tired, and Patrick felt for his daughter. 

Rebecca chuckled and agreed, “Okay.” 

The Christmas Eve feast was lavish, and Rebecca enjoyed every bite. From childhood to adulthood, this was perhaps her most joyous Christmas celebration yet. 

The next day, they gathered under the Christmas tree in the morning and exchanged gifts with each other. Lily and Key received many gifts, with each one larger than the last. 

Even Rebecca found herself showered with gifts, supposedly everything she had rightfully earned from her youth to adulthood, all given to her at once. 

Rebecca blushed as she hesitated to accept the gifts, but despite ber reluctance, everyone insisted and shoved the gifts into her arms, making her gifts pile into a small mountain on their own. 

However, in contrast with the joyous atmosphere there, things felt somewhat awkward at Edwards Villa. 

Everyone kept asking about Rebecca and the two children, and were particularly set on knowing where Lily and Kev were.

Chapter 101 

+ BUX 

Naturally, everyone assumed that even though Theodore and Rebecca had divorced, Theodore had custody over the kids. So, not seeing the kids at the Edwards family’s during Christmas was quite puzzling to them. 

No one dared to bring it up, which was just as well. Whenever the children were mentioned, except for Michael, the atmosphere turned sour for the whole family. 

Sam and Melissa were adamant about wanting grandchildren. In this case, they were strongly against Michael forcing Theodore to divorce Rebecca and marry Jenny. 

Helen couldn’t get Michael’s affair with those illegitimate children out of her mind. While others might accept the mistress, her husband had raised so many. During this time, she had become the laughingstock of high society. She was even nervous about meeting acquaintances when she went for her beauty treatments. 

Despite all this, Helen couldn’t confront Michael head–on or even mention the divorce directly. When they married years ago, they had signed a prenuptial agreement. If they divorced, she wouldn’t get a penny from the Edwards family. 

Her only hope lay in her son. 

Theodore was the first in line to take over the Edwards Group. Only if her son succeeded could the entire Edwards family fortune become theirs in the future. 

Theodore’s expression turned even more grim as he had already realized that he loved Rebecca. If it hadn’t been for his father’s coercion, he would never have considered divorcing her Those two children were undoubtedly his treasures, and they would still be a part of the Edwards family now if he hadn’t done what he did. 

However, Rebecca had stopped caring about the situation with the Edwards family 

At this moment in Alagua City, the Carter family was gathered on the living room sofa, watching a show together. The show they were watching was Lovey Princess starring Rebecca in a historical romance role. 

When Rebecca was filming, she took her role seriously. But now, sitting together in the living room watching the romance drama she starred in, Rebecca…felt embarrassed! 

Sitting among everyone, Rebecca felt like his hands and feet were not his own and was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to do. 

Eventually, she simply pretended to use the restroom and slipped away quietly. 

Charlie caught sight of his sister sneaking off, and with a slight grin, he let out a chuckle at her embarrassment. 

With Rebecca joining him now, he wouldn’t be embarrassed all by himself anymore. How wonderful! 

Lily and Kev recognized their mom on TV, and the two babies were overjoyed. They reached out with their tiny hands, trying to grab their mom from the screen. 

Kev even toddled over, wobbling slightly, and with arms outstretched towards the TV, he gleefully shouted, “Mommy, hug 

The whole family was enchanted by the adorable little boy before the nanny hurried over and scooped him up into her
