Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 254

After dealing with Emily's funeral affairs, they decided to pick up her child.

Terence didn't want to step into the place that made him sad

Mrs. Youngren fell ill because of her little daughter's sudden departure.

Terence had been taking care of her at home.

He left this matter to Zelda.

She was the only daughter in the Youngren family, and she was supposed to be in charge ofeverything in the family.

Zelda came to the Langwell family and wanted to take the two children back.

Before that, Lan had already told Mr. Kim that Emily had passed away because of dystocia.

He had not recovered from his illness at that time, and he hurriedly flew back to Birmingham fromHolland.

He lived in the Langwell family and did not show up outside.

Mrs. Langwell led Zelda to the living room to talk.

"Mrs. Langwell, I came here today to take the children back. I made an agreement with yourhusband before,” Zelda said.

"Wait a moment. I'll call him over right away."

She ordered her servants to get Langwell over.

Zelda once met Mr. Kim in an annual chamber of commerce event in Birmingham with her father. Atthat time, the Kim family was in its prime in Birmingham.

Zelda was stunned and worried that if he showed up to fight for custody of children.

She was regretful for believing Langwell's words and leaving the children here because of theurgent situation.

The Langwell family sided with the Kim family.

She knew that she had done another thing she felt sorry for her sister.

"Miss Youngren, I'm Gavin's father," Mr. Kim said, looking up at her.

As a junior, she was supposed to salute Mr. Kim.

But Zelda couldn't do it.

If her sister hadn't given birth to children, she wouldn't have lost her name.

The son of the Kim family had been hiding far away.

The Youngren Family was left with endless pain.

Especially their parents, who suffered from the loss of their daughter at such an old age, wereunable to get over it.

Her mother was lying on the bed, calling Emily's name every day.

"Mr. Kim, didn't you leave Birmingham long ago? What brings you here?" Zelda asked deliberatelywith a gloomy face.

"Miss Youngren, to tell you the truth, I came back especially for the children.”

"The babies are ours. My sister gave her life for them. I won't leave them to you.”

"Miss Youngren, I understand your feelings. The Kim family owes too much to yours. I apologize formy son."

"I don't need your apology. I will never forgive Gavin. My sister died because of him."

As she spoke, she couldn't control her emotions and began to sob.

Mrs. Langwell stood aside and quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

Langwell followed suit.

"Miss Youngren, Mr. Kim didn't come back to fight for the custody. He came back to discuss it withyou for the sake of the children,” Langwell said.

"I have nothing to discuss with the Kim family. The children are ours, and my sister was not relatedto the Kim family. They are in no position to take them away."

Langwell glanced at Mr. Kim. He didn't say anything but listened attentively.

"Miss Youngren, I hope you'll think about it. If outsiders replace out that these two children are fromthe Kim family, they might cause trouble for yours, especially there's a boy."

At that time, boys were especially important to the rich and powerful families. They were seen as thesuccessors of their family’s business.

Bringing up the babies was the only thing in Zelda's mind, so she almost forgot the fact that theKim family was a thorn in the eye of many families in Birmingham. They managed to drive the Kimfamily away. Once knowing that the descendants of the Kim family were in Birmingham, perhapseven the Youngren family would be in trouble by then.

She knew something about the Kim family. In order to save Gavin, Emily asked Terence and her forhelp, and many people were involved.

The thought of this sent a chill down Zelda's spine.

Emily lost her life because of her relationship with Gavin. She didn't want the entire Youngren Familyto be sacrificed because of the Kim family.

Seeing that Zelda was a little touched, Langwell then took advantage and continued, "MissYoungren, since there are two children, each of us family take one. What do you think?"

Zelda had to make a decision today because she had promised her father that she would take thechildren back home.

If she failed, she was afraid that Terence would overthink.

She looked suspicious.

She knew that Mr. Kim and Langwell were both old foxes and she was young in front of them.

She was in no hurry to agree.

She said, "Please allow me to think about it again. I'm just going to my sister's place later andpacking up her belongings. When I come back in the afternoon, I'll give you an answer."

With that, she stood up and left.

She refused the invitation from Mrs. Langwell who wanted her to stay here for lunch before leaving.Zelda had just found an excuse to leave and then seated herself in a quiet place to sort things outbefore making a decision

She must be careful this time, for fear of endless trouble because of her decision.

The driver found a small hotel for her to rest in.

Seeing that it was almost time, she returned to the Langwell family.

Mr. Kim asked, "Miss Youngren, are you ready to make the decision?"

"Yes," she said.

"I'm okay with you taking the boy away, but I hope all of you who know about it will keep it a secret.If the two children are separated today, I hope that they will never meet again. And they will havenothing to do with each other. I don't want our families to be involved in anything else, and I don'twant my parents to know. They were sad enough to lose their daughter. They didn't want to be in apanic for the descendants of the Kim family. No matter what, I can't let my parents know about this.I will raise the girl. I hope your family will never disturb us. "

Zelda knew that the Kim family would not give up if the Youngren family brought both childrenaway.

By then, her parents would probably know, and everyone in Birmingham would know, making iteven harder to end.

Mr. Kim understood what Zelda meant.
