Since they were attending Mr. Hugh Austin's birthday celebration, Rebecca knew she couldn't go empty-handed.
The next day was Saturday, so Rebecca took the four little ones shopping at the mall.
She recalled the old gentleman enjoyed fine collectibles, so she bought a handsome set of antique worry beads. Afterward, she selected some rare tea leaves and a handcrafted teapot to go with them.
Thinking Dylan might not have prepared anything, she also purchased some premium health supplements and a bottle of vintage brandy.
After making her purchases, she had the bodyguards take the gifts to the car while she took the four little ones to a restaurant for brunch.
But just then, Katherine and Jane happened to walk into the same restaurant.
Ethan, with his sharp eyes, quietly tugged on Noah's sleeve. "Noah, look. That's Mom's old foster mother and her daughter."
After Rebecca had mentioned them, Noah had already done his research on Katherine and Jane Foster, learning how they had thrown their mother out of the house when she was pregnant with the four of them.
If it weren't for their godmother, Bella, and Uncle William, their mom would have been homeless.
The four little ones were furious.
Noah's brow furrowed, his eyes turning cold.
Aiden and Evan also glared in Katherine and Jane's direction, their small hands balling into fists.
At the same time, Katherine turned and saw Rebecca with the four children.
Her expression flickered before she immediately strode over. "Rebecca, are these four... all your children?"
Rebecca didn't answer, simply watching her in silence.
