Chapter 674: Your Mommy Gave Birth to Triplets
Olive was sleeping. Elvis shook her, and she pouted her red lips in displeasure. โHmm, go away, donโt disturb my sleep!โ
โOlive, how can you still be sleeping now? Get up and explain what you mean by Levi being my son!โ Elvis felt like he was going crazy. Heโd never considered it, never dared to.
โLeviโฆโ Olive murmured, โLevi, you need to take care ofโฆ Ivy, oh, you, as her big brother, should take care of little sisterโฆโ
Elvis suddenly remembered the small, soft, cute girl heโd seen at the airportโa porcelain doll, a miniature Olive. Her presence had melted his heart.
He knew Ivy was Leviโs sister; fraternal twins. Ivy, Levi, and his son, Nathan, were all three years old. Could it beโฆ?
A possibility struck Elvis. His deep eyes surged with emotion. He realized he might have been living a lie. Tonight, heโd uncovered a shocking secret.
Little Nathan was brought back to the villa. โYoung Master, Master is waiting for you in the study.โ
โI know.โ Little Nathan went upstairs and entered the study.
It was late; the world outside was asleep. But the study was brightly lit. Elvis hadnโt slept; he sat at his desk, slender fingers holding a cigarette, smoke curling around him.
The ashtray overflowed with butts. Heโd been smoking for a long time; the room was thick with smoke.
Little Nathan calmly opened a window, letting in fresh air. He looked at Elvis. โDaddy, whatโs wrong?โ
Little Nathan had been summoned. For three years, father and son had depended on each other. This was the first time Nathan had seen his father so desolate, so chillingly despondent.
Amidst the smoke, Elvisโs brow furrowed. He stubbed out his cigarette and spoke in a low voice, โI need you to find Levi. Find him quickly and bring him to me.โ
โLeviโs a top-notch hacker. Iโve clashed with him before; heโs clever, difficult to track. It will take time,โ Little Nathan explained objectively.
Elvis produced a photograph and slid it across to Nathan.
Little Nathan looked at it; his bright eyes widened. The photo showed Ivy, her delicate face mirroring Oliveโs, a tiny, adorable dumpling.
Due to their close bond, Nathan almost instantly recognized her as his motherโs daughter. โDaddy, what does this mean? Did Mommy have twins? Did she give birth to Levi and a little sister?โ
โHeh,โ Elvis took another drag of his cigarette, a plume of smoke escaping his lips. He glanced at Nathan. โWhy donโt you say Mommy gave birth toโฆ triplets?โ
Triplets?
Elvis and Nathan were both highly intelligent; they rarely needed lengthy explanations. The word โtripletsโ sparked instant understanding in Nathanโs eyes.
โDaddy, thatโs not funny!โ
Elvis withdrew his gaze, his voice devoid of humor. โIndeed, itโs not.โ
Father and son fell silent; the studyโs atmosphere grew heavy.
After a while, Elvis said quietly, โKeep Levi occupied. Make sure he canโt interfere.โ
โDaddy, are you going toโฆ get this little sister?โ Little Nathan grasped his fatherโs intent. Elvis nodded. โYes. Once we have Ivy, Levi will come looking. Then the truth will come out.โ
Little Nathan agreed. โUnderstood.โ
Ivy attended kindergarten. Beautiful and adorable, she was a star. Everyone loved her. But today, an incident occurred.
A pretty girl, Sophia, stood with her hands on her hips, pointing at Ivy. โIโve never seen your daddy. Do you even have a daddy? My mommy says kids without daddies are illegitimate, and nobody likes them.โ Before Ivyโs arrival, Sophia had been the kindergarten princess. Ivyโs arrival had relegated her to a supporting role.
Sophiaโs father had once picked her up from school, encountering Olive. Heโd been captivated by Oliveโs beauty, and now came every day just to see her.
This led to jealousy. Sophiaโs father despised his wife, calling her plain, an embarrassment. Sophia had seen her mother cry in secret.
Sophia disliked Ivy and her mother intensely. She believed Ivy had stolen her spotlight and her fatherโs affection. Her mother had called Olive a โseductive vixen,โ a husband-stealer.
Sophia knew Ivyโs father never picked her up. Sheโd heard Olive was unmarried, a single mother. Ivy was illegitimate, a tool for seducing men.
โIvy, you donโt have a daddy, huh? So pitiful. But your mommy probably has lots of unclesโฆ lovers! She changes daddies every day!โ
Ivy, gentle and sheltered, had never faced such cruelty, such attacks on her mother.
Her face fell. She stepped forward, glaring at Sophia. โI do have a daddy, and my mommy is not a vixen!โ
Sophia pushed Ivy. Ivy fought back.
