Hey, My Twins Babies

Chapter 222 The Man Who Has Been Waiting

Originally Brian wanted to end all this as soon as possible, so that everyone could settle down, but the

children were so resistant.

As a father, he thought he had owed the children too much. If he insisted on getting married regardless

of their feelings, he would literally lose his two children and have no way of repaying them. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

But he couldn't agree to their demands to live with Winnie, so he needed some time to figure out a way.

The two children began to wait for the news of Brian with full of expectation.

For the first time, the children learned that waiting was hard. They waited at dinner, they waited at

bedtime, they waited when they got up in the morning.

Their hearts were tired of waiting.

Isobel was worried that the children could not eat and sleep well and there was no laughter anymore.

She asked Winnie to negotiate with the father, but Winnie refused.

Two children sighed when they were watching TV in the living room. Isobel went to the children and

spoke softly.

"Luke, you know your grandpa's phone number? Auntie's will do, too. I want to meet them."

"You want Grandpa to persuade Daddy? I know Grandpa's number."

Luke took his mobile phone and made a call.

"Grandaunt, I made the call, you talk to grandpa."

Isobel was caught off guard by the call. She hadn't thought of what to say, but the phone had been

connected and she couldn't flinch.

Isobel had to bite the bullet and take the phone.

Before long, there came the voice of Grandpa of Luke.

"Luke, do you miss me?"

Rufus was happy to see Luke's call.

But his voice came into Isobel's ears. And she felt familiar.

It was much like that of that man, but it was older and deeper.

"Luke......"

"Hello, I am Luke's Grandaunt, Winnie's aunt, I am sorry to disturb you."

Isobel came to her senses and began to introduce herself.

Then Rufus tightened his eyebrows and began to doubt his ears.

"Hello."

"I want to meet you to talk about the children. Are you available tomorrow?"

Isobel thought it was better to say it face to face. Although she was reluctant to contact strangers, she

had to try for her two children.

"Yes, I am always available. You name the time and place, and I'll be there on time."

Rufus agreed readily. Even if it was not because of the children, he had long wanted to see Winnie's

aunt, after all, she helped bring up Megan, they should say thank you to her.

"Ok, I'll send you time and place. See you tomorrow."

Isobel hung up the phone, still thinking about the familiar voice.

For a moment.

"Megan, Luke, don’t tell Mommy, keep it a secret."

"Well, we won't tell her. We await your good news."

Megan and Luke were secretly happy that someone helped them.

At noon the next day, Isobel simply packed herself and went to the teahouse.

Isobel made an appointment for a private room in the teahouse. Standing outside the room, she tidied

up and opened the door with a mild smile on her face.

Walking into the room, she was shocked when she saw the person in front of her.

She couldn't believe they met. She thought she was hallucinating, thinking she was dreaming.

But there was the truth in front of her. This man was the same man she had been with twenty years

before. He was old but she knew for sure it was him.

Rufus was also shocked. He didn't expect to see someone he hadn't seen more than 20 years ago, let

alone that Winnie's aunt would be her.

"Isobel......"

Rufus said.

"I...You've mistaken me for the wrong person."

Flurried, Isobel turned around and was about to go, but was stopped by Rufus.

"Isobel, how can I make a mistake? Even if I mistake the whole world, I will not mistake you."

Rufus said painful. For years, he had been waiting for her. How could he make a mistake?

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. Let’s talk about the children another day."

Isobel suddenly pushed Rufus aside and strode away.

She never thought the two would see each other again in her lifetime, and although she delayed her

return to B City, she finally returned.

She thought B City is a big city and it would not be easy to meet, but it was the fate, they met again.

Isobel left the teahouse and took a taxi. She did not go home, and she could not go home with this

upset mood.

She casually found a seaside. In sea breeze, she thought of those unbearable memories in the past,

that so called love.

Rufus sat in a chair alone in the teahouse, thinking about that scene just now.

She was old, but still delicate, clean and tidy and elegant.

When hearing her voice on the phone, Rufus felt familiar, but he did not expect it was really her.

How could they meet in this way?

But it was good to know she was alive, to know where she was, to have a chance to say he was sorry.

Isobel got home when it was time to pick up the children. As the children saw her, they kept asking.

"Grandaunt, what did grandpa say? Will he help?"

Megan asked anxiously.

The three of them talked as they walked home.

"I have not seen him. Your grandpa had something unexpected today and couldn't keep the

appointment. He will contact me when he is available."

Isobel replied listlessly. This was an excuse she had long thought of, or she would not know how to

answer.

"Oh, I see. Then wait."

Megan was disappointed and took a look at Luke, who was also very disappointed.

It had been ten days and there had no news from Daddy. They thought they could hear good news

today, but they were disappointed.

"Luke, your grandpa only has two children?"

Isobel asked. In those days when Brian saw her, he was still small and he might not be able to

recognize her.

"Yes, only aunt and Daddy."

Luke answered directly.

"Where's Grandma? Why didn't you mention Grandma?"

Isobel asked, but she felt very regretful. If she had asked more about Rufus earlier, she might have

known Rufus. Then she could have avoided him. There would not have been such a sudden meeting

today.

"No grandma, I heard from aunt that grandma had died."

Luke did not know why, but he had not seen grandma. No one at home mentioned her.

Although she had already known Luke's grandma died, now hearing that, she was still shocked and felt

self-accusation.

Although he was also a victim, although she was unintentional, it was human life, because of her, she

died.

How could she not blame herself? How could she appear in front of Luke’s father?

Isobel returned the home in a bad mood. Winnie came back from work and found her aunt was wrong,

so she asked Isobel. Isobel said she seemed to catch a cold.

Winnie thought it was because of Luke and Megan, aunt became anxious.

Vanessa returned home and found the atmosphere at home was not as relaxed and cheerful as before.

It seemed that everyone had worry. She did not expect that Brian getting married would affect so many

people.

The next day was Saturday, and Vanessa had no classes. She left after breakfast on the pretext of

having an appointment with a classmate.

She came to the Bennet Group and wanted to talk with Brian, let him stop torturing her family. This time

Vanessa smoothly came to Brian's office. When seeing Brian’s dark and listless face, she noticed that

he was tortured too.

But she had come. She wanted to say what she needed to say.

"Brian, I don't want to interfere with your work. I know that every second you spend is money. But

compared with money, I think Luke and Megan's condition are more important."

Vanessa didn't mince words; she didn't want to disrupt Brian's time too much. Her sister and Brian's

relationship had ended, if she spoke in a roundabout way, she was afraid Brian would overthink.

"Brian, what used to have happy atmosphere at home, but not it had been deadened by the fact that

you are getting married.”

"The children don’t smile. My sister and aunt are worried about them. I can't be happy watching them

sulk."

“I am not here to prevent your marriage, nor did my sister send me. I just want to say, if you want to get

married, get married as soon as possible. I think the children will accept it after a long time, the wounds

will slowly recover. If you don't get married, just tell them and stop tormenting our family like this."

Vanessa said what she wanted to say. Although she did not want Brian to marry that woman, she could

not say so. One was that she was too selfish. The other was that Brian would think her sister had

selfish motives.

"Vanessa, it is not as simple as you think. I can’t decide my marriage. I love my children and I'm afraid

they'll be hurt."

"But..."

"I know it's hard for you, but grownups get over these things. The children are small and do not have

the ability to bear, if the heart is hurt, they will be distressed. Get married, Brian. The sooner you do,

the sooner this hurt will be over."

Vanessa could see that Brian had to get married, just because of the children, he delayed the marriage.

"Vanessa, I will think about it. Thank your sister for taking care of the children."

Brian's mission was to get married, but his heart conflicted. And because the children did not accept,

he was now contradictory.
