Yet, Ashton said nothing and merely shot him a glare before striding back into the kitchen. It was a warming sight.
The moment he walked away, Gregory and Audrey immediately resumed their chatter. They took the tray and returned to their toys.
The villa used to be deathly quiet, but it was lively because of the children chattering and clinking noises from the kitchen.
I chuckled. All my life, I wanted to lead a peaceful life just like this.
If nothing had happened six years ago, the twins wouldn’t be separated for such a long time. As parents, we had let them down.
I suddenly recalled something. “Where is Summer? Is she alright now?” I asked.
If I wasn’t mistaken, the time I gave Jared was up. Summer must’ve grown up to be a cheerful teen by now.
“Don’t worry. I need to tell you something, Letty.” John crossed his legs and leaned back into the sofa, his expression stern.
I couldn’t get used to how rigid he was. “We’re siblings, so just say it. There’s no need to hesitate.”
John inclined his head. He stared at the ground before meeting my gaze. “Emma and I have a three-year-old child.”
I didn’t know it was about his child. It took me a while to process the news before I flashed a warm smile. “That’s great. Is it a boy or girl?”
“A boy,” replied John shyly. “His name is Drew.”
“Drew.” I repeated the name happily. “It’s a great name. I hope he will be wise as his name.”
