Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 492 Great-grandmother

Margaret couldn't resist her mother's persistence and ended up buying them an extra-large lock that most people couldn't open.

Now, the door was unlocked, indicating that everyone must be at home. Margaret found the doorbell and pressed it, waiting at the door with her two grandchildren. After a short while, light footsteps were heard from inside, followed by an elderly voice asking, "Who is it?"

The two little ones got excited upon hearing the old woman's voice and looked up to ask her, "Grandma, is that our great-grandmother's voice?"

Margaret smiled and nodded at the two youngsters while responding, "Mom, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, the footsteps inside paused briefly before resuming with much more urgency.

Margaret heard this and still smiling, said, "Mom, take it easy, be careful."

When the courtyard door opened, they were greeted by an elderly woman with graying hair, who despite her age, dressed in a casual European-style house dress, exuding an air of exceptional elegance.

Ruby and Dylan had been taught good manners since they were young, and Eva had instructed them to greet people properly, so without any prompt from Margaret, as soon as the door opened, they both called out in unison, "Great- grandmother!"

Lynn hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and had recently been missing her children, but she didn't want to bother and thus refrained from calling. To her surprise, her daughter had come to visit her.

She was delighted, yet just as she recognized her daughter's face upon opening the door, she heard two childlike voices calling out for their great-grandmother.

Great-grandmother?

Who were they calling? Or was she experiencing auditory hallucinations due to her old age?

She looked down following the voices and saw two adorable little tykes standing there, looking up at her in unison.

To her shock, these two little ones bore a striking resemblance to her well-behaved grandson Adrian Blackwood.

Lynn gazed at the faces of the two youngsters in amazement, then lifted her eyes to look at her daughter, Margaret, or simply Margaret.

Margaret was smiling at her, lightly lifting her eyebrows as if to say, "Look, I've brought your little great-grandchildren to see you."

"These are..."

It took Lynn quite a moment to process what was happening. She was about to reach out and touch the cheeks of the two little ones to see if they were real when two small hands caught hold of her fingers-one on each side. The warm, soft sensation instantly transmitted through her fingertips, the tangible feeling shaking Lynn for a moment before she regained her composure.

"These are Adrian's..."

Margaret nodded.

"Yes, twins, both the same age."

"Great-grandmother, my name is Ruby Hansen."

"My name is Dylan Hansen."

They were Adrian Blackwood's children, yet they bore the surname Hansen. The little ones introduced themselves without any indication to correct it.

Margaret felt a bit awkward, though she didn't mind the children's surnames. After all, it was the Blackwood family that owed Eva five years, and she herself had raised them for so many years. Now, she was happy enough that they were willing to call them grandma and grandpa.

As for the surname issue, neither she nor her husband minded too much.

What surname they had did not change the fact that they were the children of Adrian Blackwood and Eva.

However, while she might not care, she wondered about the opinion of the elderly, who, due to their age, tended to be more conventional.

Just as she thought about changing the subject, Lynn smiled and nodded in understanding.

"The names are nice, did your mommy give them to you?"

The two little ones nodded.

Margaret pursed her lips with some unease.

The next second, she saw her mother Lynn's face light up with a smile: "Come in, great-grandma has prepared some delicious food for you."

She stepped aside to make room, motioning everyone to enter. After the driver brought in their luggage and left, he said to Margaret, "Madam, I'll head back now and will return to pick you up when it's time." Margaret nodded.

After watching the driver leave and the big gate of the yard was closed and relocked, only then did the two youngsters really take in the scenery inside the courtyard.

There was a very large tree planted in the yard, which had lost all its leaves this season and looked quite bare.

The two ran over curiously to inspect it.

Watching the two little ones run off, Lynn took the opportunity to start a conversation with her daughter Margaret, keeping a distance from them.

"Is it just the three of you who came?"

Margaret nodded.

"Yes."

"What about the children's father and mother? Why didn't they come along?"

"They... they have matters to attend to and couldn't come for the time being." Margaret dared not tell her elderly mother about their troubles, fearing that such news might be too shocking due to her age.

"Young people always busy themselves without care for their health. When you go back, you should remind them not to work too hard. Otherwise, they might develop chronic issues. "

"Alright, I'll tell them when I get back, and we'll bring the kids to visit you another time."

"But..." Lynn paused thoughtfully, "Didn't the two of them divorce years ago? How come they have such grown children? Could it be...?"

Lynn had a suspicion forming in her mind.

Faced with her guess, Margaret nodded.

Even though Lynn already guessed, having it confirmed brought different emotions. She hadn't expected Eva to give birth to two children alone after the divorce. Now Lynn could probably surmise why both kids carried the surname Hansen. "Mom, what I mean is, since Eva raised the two children on her own, I don't want to say too much about their surnames..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lynn interrupted her: "Why are you telling me all this? Do you really think your mother can't distinguish right from wrong? Eva has had a tough time raising two children by herself, and now she is willing to bring them back. We owe her, and a surname isn't significant it doesn't represent anything."

Margaret, who had originally anticipated conventional views from Lynn due to her age, was relieved to hear that Lynn didn't mind and even lectured her about principles. Margaret's voice softened, almost cooing, "Oh mom, I wasn't suggesting you can't tell right from wrong. I just wanted to explain to you, don't be mad at me."

Having not heard her daughter speak affectionately for a long time, Lynn wasn't angry anymore and went ahead to greet the two children.

"Come on, there's nothing more to see here. Follow great-grandma inside, I've made something tasty for you. Do Ruby and Dylan have any dietary restrictions?"

Though it was their first meeting, the two little ones were already very comfortable with her and went into the house together.

Margaret stood still, taking out her phone to check for any new messages.

It had been one night, and Kim Blackwood had not called her. She was unsure how things were being handled on his end or how much longer it would take. She hoped everything would go smoothly without any complications.
