Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Meeting with Biological Father
Cyrus Thompson heard him clearly, glanced sideways at Hank Thompson, and said nonchalantly, "What do you know?"
Hearing his own older brother confront him like this, Hank immediately became timid.
He touched his nose sulkily and sat down to play with Lego blocks with Grace Thompson to hide his awkwardness.
Olivia Thompson, who likes to nap, was now lying in bed asleep.
In less than half an hour, Jack Bryant stopped the car at the entrance of the Riley Group. Seeing this, Charlotte Thompson opened the door on the passenger’s side and got in. As the car started again, she fastened her seatbelt and took out her phone from her bag. After looking for a while, she finally found Adam Ross’ number.
Upon making the call, Adam answered almost immediately.
"Miss Thompson, have you changed your mind?"
It was Adam Ross’s annoying tone again on the other end of the phone call.
Charlotte Thompson was in no mood for pleasantries right now.
She turned her head, smiled at the two children in the back seat, and then spoke into the phone.
"I’ll send you the address later. If you want to see them, come in half an hour. If you’re even a minute late, don’t bother."
Upon hearing this, Adam Ross’s breath hitched. He obviously knew who the "they" Charlotte Thompson was referring to.
He paused to catch his breath, feeling slightly unusual.
By the time he regained his composure, Charlotte Thompson had already hung up the phone.
He decisively stood up from his chair, grabbed his suit jacket, and quickly walked out of the building.
Half an hour later, inside a coffee shop.
Adam Ross walked in right on time, but by the time he had settled in his seat, he was still a little out of breath.
Charlotte Thompson took her time sipping her coffee, she was quite surprised to see Adam looking so flustered.
She put down her cup and with a smirk she couldn’t contain, she said, "Mr. Ross, were you so worried that if you were a minute late, I wouldn’t let you see the children?"
She paused, looking as Adam Ross’s gaze slowly fell on both the kids.
The man’s throat tightened, his fingers which were resting on the chair armrest curled slightly, the knuckles turning white, his beautifully elegant hands were slightly trembling.
His eyes were filled with waves of shock he could not suppress.
Despite preparing himself adequately before coming here.
But the moment he saw the two kids, his heart was beaten by a storm.
Both children looked so much like him, whether it was their eyebrows, eyes, or certain features on their faces.
Even the unique aura they exuded seemed to have been carved out of him.
In contrast, the two kids had their eyes down and did not look at him.
Adam Ross looked a bit dazed.
Watching his reaction, Charlotte Thompson shook her head and sighed. She suddenly felt that Adam Ross was both pitiable and pathetic.
If he knew he’d end up here, what was the point of everything he did in the past?
Could the love the children lacked be made up overnight?
Charlotte Thompson pointed to Chad Thompson and said softly, "This is Chad, he is a bit more serious."
Chad slightly frowned and finally raised his head. He glanced at Adam Ross, his eyes full of alienation and even a hint of doubt.
After introducing the two children, Charlotte Thompson signaled Adam Ross with her eyes for him to talk to them.
Adam Ross was somewhat in a daze as he observed the features of the two children in detail. Suddenly, something seemed to have harshly hit the softest part of his heart.
Even Charlotte Thompson, who sat opposite him, felt as if a gentle light suddenly enveloped Adam Ross.
Charlotte Thompson moved her fingers that were resting on her lap slightly, letting out a sigh of emotion.
If these two children had been raised by his side, then perhaps Adam Ross would not be so cold-hearted and indifferent today!
