My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444 

Steffan was quite a sentimental man. He was still using the same phone number he had five years ago. 

“Steffan, it’s me. Can we talk about adopting Sunshine…” 

Esther added from the side, “And Twinkle…” 

Steffan’s light, mocking tone reached Esther’s ears. “Xara, you couldn’t even be a good 

mother to your own son. Now you want to be a mother to others?” 

Xara’s pretty face flushed with shame. “Steffan, Esther only wants us to adopt them in name. It’s not like we are really adopting them-” 

Before Xara could finish her sentence, Steffan coldly interrupted her. “Has Jacob agreed?” 

Xara was momentarily startled, her grip tightening on the phone as she sought Jacob’s opinion. 

“Jacob, can we temporarily help Esther adopt Twinkle and Sunshine?” 

Esther was also watching Jacob anxiously. “Jacob, I’m begging you….” she said pleadingly. 

“I agree.” 

Those two words from Jacob were like music to Esther and Xara’s ears. 

“Thank you, Jacob.” Esther was incredibly grateful. Jacob was truly a good child. 

“Steffan, did you hear that? Jacob agreed. Can we go and adopt Sunshine and Twinkle now?” 

“Xara, what time is it now?” Only then did Xara realize that it was already dark outside. 

“So, first thing tomorrow… Can we go to the church and adopt Sunshine and Twinkle?” 

Steffan grunted in acknowledgment and hung up the phone, his demeanor still cold and indifferent. 

Facing Esther’s worried gaze, Xara was ecstatic. “Esther, it’s all settled. You don’t have to worry about Sunshine and Twinkle. Steffan still has some influence, and I’m confident the adoption will be successful. 

“However, the process probably can’t be completed in a day. Do you want to wait until it’s finalized before returning to your country? Or would you like to head back first?” 

“I’ll wait until tomorrow when you guys go to adopt them before returning home,” Esther said. 

She wanted to ensure that Xara and Steffan could fully adopt Sunshine and Twinkle. Returning home without confirmation would only leave her more anxious.
