Sylvia burst into tears of overwhelming affection.
"What a wonderful girl! I knew it. I knew we didn't misjudge you!"
"Come here, let me look at you," Sylvia sniffled, reaching her arms out.
Winifred stepped forward, her vision blurring with unshed tears, as Sylvia wrapped her in a warm, tight embrace.
"You've worked so hard all these years. Working full-time, going through a pregnancy, raising two babies..."
"And she's a brilliant researcher on top of it all!" Shannon chimed in, wiping her own tears. "The new pharmaceutical firm the group just acquired is already using her exclusive formulas for production."
The Lockwood Group had recently made a massive move, acquiring a traditional pharmaceutical firm to build their own manufacturing supply chain alongside their private hospitals.
Winifred was the lead technical developer for the entire project.
Shannon’s husband, Warren, often discussed business with her before bed. They had a deeply loving marriage, and she always paid attention to his work. Just a few days ago, they had talked about inviting Dr. Shultz to dinner to officially welcome her into the company's inner circle.
Who could have guessed that fate had something even better in store?
This brilliant, hardworking woman was going to be her daughter-in-law!
"Come here, let me give you a hug too," Shannon said, laughing through her tears.
Winifred turned and hugged her.
Sylvia was buzzing with excitement. "Leland!"
"Yes, Sylvia?"
"Go get the babies! Bring them here so the family can meet them!"
Leland pulled out his phone and opened his photo gallery. "Let's start with photos. It's freezing outside and they're still so small. It takes a lot of preparation to take them out. Winifred and I will coordinate and bring them over properly soon."
"Yes, yes, of course! You can't just drag babies out in the freezing winter wind. We don't want them getting sick," Sylvia agreed instantly, waving over a maid. "Quick, get my reading glasses! I need to see them clearly!"
Seth's personality was nothing like his. The kid was cool, collected, and had a very intimidating aura for a toddler.
"What is he like?" Sylvia asked, her smile stretching from ear to ear.
"He's... very mature for his age. A bit of an old soul."
Sylvia let out a delighted laugh. "He sounds exactly like your father! Warren was just like that when he was little—always so serious, walking around with that stoic little face. He skipped grades, started college at thirteen, and had his Ph.D. by twenty."
Wait, what?
Leland was stunned.
Spinning a lie about Seth being his son was crazy enough. But for his grandmother to look at the kid and decide he took after *Warren Lockwood*?
This was spiraling entirely out of control.
