Chapter 101 Take Money Or Take Advantage?

Seeing Mark remain silent, Lyla said, “Mr. Pattinson, don’t forget that you have a fiancee now, and she’s also pregnant with your child. I don’t want to be the homewrecker, and I won’t allow my children to be an illegitimate son and illegitimate daughter!” Lyla emphasized every word.

Illegitimate son and illegitimate daughter?

Those words provoked Mark. He raised his eyes to look at Lyla, who was sitting there.

As an illegitimate child himself, how would he not know that feeling?

Seeing him fall silent with his brows deeply furrowed, a feeling of guilt rose in Lyla’s heart.

She did not want to do this, but this was the best way.

Afterward, Mark spoke. “I agree with your suggestion!”

Lyla was stunned and looked at him. “Really?”

“However, I’m telling you, Lyla Lowe. This is only temporary!”

Temporary?

What did that mean?

Lyla was just about to ask when Mark continued. “I won’t let them become illegitimate children. You can rest assured about that!”

Although Lyla had some prejudice against Mark in some aspects, she had to admit that in the past two days, she could see that he was extremely attentive to Hansel and Gretel.

He was a good father.

Since he said so, there was nothing else Lyla could say. She nodded. “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Pattinson!”

“You don’t need to thank me. They’re my children. How could I let them become illegitimate children?!” Mark said matter-of-factly. From now onwards, he only had two children, Hansel and Gretel. There would be no other.

They were his only children.

Mark changed a little too fast and Lyla had trouble keeping up, but it was good that her goal was achieved.

Their ultimate goal was to ensure the safety of Hansel and Gretel.

Lyla was afraid of Kathleen Turner finding out, and Mark was afraid of Eileen Dawson finding out.

If that madwoman found out, who knows what she would do.

Therefore, Mark needed to guarantee their safety before announcing them to the public.

Thinking that way, Lyla’s proposal was the best method at this point.

“That’s good!” Lyla did not ask about Mark’s thoughts. He just said that he would not let the twins become illegitimate, and make them legitimate one day...

If they became legitimate children, then Lyla would also...

Lyla was still thinking about something at that moment, but Mark threw a cell phone in front of her.

“This… What is this for?” Lyla asked.

“Your phone broke. I bought one for you as I was passing by!” Mark said.

He bought one as he was passing by...

These two days, Mark frequently did things that were out-of-character.

Lyla looked up at him. “M-Mr. Pattinson. Have you been feeling unwell recently?

“Or, have I offended you?”

“Why are you asking that?”

“Why would you become so… strange otherwise?” Lyla asked.

Mark. “...” Being nice to her meant that he was unwell?

He suddenly bent over. His delicate facial features magnified in front of her and his deep eyes fixed on her face. “You have offended me a lot!”

Lyla. “...”

Looking at his face, Lyla’s heart could not help but beat faster.

She lowered her eyes. “I was overthinking. Thank you, Mr. Pattinson!”

Seeing Lyla’s face change faster than flipping a page in a book, Mark grew angry. “No need to thank me. The money for the phone will be deducted from your salary!”

That *ss!

Lyla glared at him.

Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

She was taking back the little compliment she gave him in her heart!

Mark smiled at her angry look and went directly to the washroom to wash his face without saying a word.

Lyla sat on the bed, looking at his back and cursing his ancestors.

However, looking at the phone, Lyla opened it up and checked it, and found that even the card had been repaired. It was her own card.

They had dinner together last night. Lyla did not even know when he did something like this.

The action still warmed Lyla’s heart.

She turned on the phone, and saw countless calls and messages on it.

Among them, Lily’s name popped up the most.

Lyla thought about it and gave Lily a call.

After exchanging a few words, Lily found out that she had been hospitalized and insisted on visiting her. Lyla could not stop her and had to compromise.

After hanging up, Mark also finished washing up and came out.

Just as he walked through the door, Hansel and Gretel entered.

The two were each holding something.

“Mummy!”

“Mummy!”

The two greeted Lyla obediently after seeing her.

Mark, on the other hand, was magnificently ignored.

“What are you two holding? Why didn’t you call me to pick you up?” Mark asked.

The two had actually not seen Mark, and only caught sight of him when they went in.

“Daddy, why are you here? Didn’t you go back since you had something to do?” Gretel asked.

“You didn’t spend the night here with Mummy, did you?” Hansel asked. Images unsuitable for children started to flash in his brain.

Lyla. “...”
