Chapter 2768
When Mila heard the pause in Helena's sentence, she felt incomparably disappointed. However, she became open-minded again in a blink of an eye. It was right for Helena to not acknowledge them.
"However, Vincent and I love these two children. If you're willing, we can also take these children with US, and we can take care of them for you." Helena's tone was incredibly sincere. That was the only way she could think of to compromise, she wanted to acknowledge the children as her grandchildren very badly.
However, she also knew that Mila was not Yvonne. If she were to acknowledge that Mila was her daughter, if Yvonne was still alive, then Yvonne would be truly too pitiful. Therefore, she could not do it.
"Thank you. Thank you very much. We're already very grateful." Mila shook her head to reject. "I really don't need you to help me take care of my children. It's quite good for me to leave my children here."
Mila then looked at the elderly couple who took care of her children for her. The elderly man had already returned from buying food. At that moment when he heard Helena say that she wanted to help take care of the children, he was actually feeling nervous. However, once he heard that Mila said she would not let the children leave them, the elderly man smiled happily again. He put all sorts of food that he bought in the living room, sat on the couch, and then sighed.
"My wife and I have lost our only child. If it weren't for Mila, we may have survived all these years. It's Mila and the two children who gave US the hope to continue living. The children are precious to us. Don't worry. My wife and I will certainly take care of them very well—"
"How about this?" Marcus cut off the elderly man. "I'll bring both of you to my house and let you stay in the annex. Both of you can then take care of the children and also stay a little closer to Mila. What do you think...?"
The elderly man looked at the elderly lady. The elderly lady looked at the elderly man.
After a long while, the elderly lady said, "As long as we can be together with the children, it's fine by US for US to go anywhere. South City is not far from here, to begin with. We're not going to be traveling the distance to go to a foreign place, so why not?"
"Alright! It's all set then!" Marcus said gladly. He truly liked the children from the bottom of his heart. He was thinking that no matter who Mila was, the children were innocent. Even if Mila was not Yvonne and the children were not his, if Marcus were to take care of the children, it would be considered as him asking for blessings for the missing Yvonne. He was wishing that someone would also help Yvonne in some corner of this world.
After the matter regarding the children was all set, one thing was taken off all of their minds. All of them shared a meal at the elderly couple's house, then the elderly couple brought some clothes to change and followed Marcus back to South City. The elderly couple took the children to the annex of the Shaw Residence and stayed there. When the children saw such a big courtyard, they were so happy that they ran around in the courtyard. The laughter of them playing startled Marcus' parents. They were old as well. Also, the Shaw family has such a big business but they had never had any heirs.
The courtyard was so big that it was enough for ten children to run back and forth to play, let alone two children. When Marcus' parents saw the children, they were just as happy as Vincent and Helena did. They interacted with the children almost immediately.
