Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 345

He never mentioned those two kids.

For him, Colton and Cormac were nothing but reminders of a betrayal, a stain on Drusilla's reputation that she could never wash away.

Drusilla herself had no idea how to even begin explaining the situation to her father.

Because he simply wouldn't believe her!

...

Leander said, "Since they're at school, go pick them up and don't you or they go back to the Taylor estate. You shouldn't return there either! These family squabbles shouldn't involve you.

Now that Odette is back, leave the rest to me."

Drusilla looked at her father, saying, "Dad, more than anything, I wish you'd focus on getting better. Look at you, your hair has gone so much grayer..."

Leander was momentarily caught off guard, averting his gaze.

Drusilla had always been the obedient one.

Intelligent and considerate.

Despite coming from a well-off family, she never grew up spoiled. She was always polite and mindful of others.

Compared to the havoc Odette brought, Drusilla was leagues ahead in maturity.

Father and daughter had always shared a good relationship...

Except for that one incident...

Leander remembered what Enoch had told him over the phone last night. Now, looking at Drusilla, he was filled with doubt.

Had he really wronged Drusilla?

The thought was unbearable!

After all she had suffered under his misjudgment.

Remembering this, Leander felt overwhelmed by guilt.

He said to Drusilla, "I spoke to Enoch yesterday, and from what he's saying, he doesn't seem keen on letting you go!"

For years, he'd been consumed by his business, leaving the household matters to Hestia to manage.

Hestia always seemed so gentle and caring in front of him, so he never doubted her.

But now, he realized, a stepmother could never truly see Drusilla as her own daughter.

He wondered if Drusilla had suffered any injustices without his knowledge.

Hearing her father's words, Drusilla replied, "Dad, what are you talking about? You haven't wronged me. It was me who was foolish. I was the one who was blind."

Thinking back, she regretted her decisions deeply.

Yes!

Marrying Harlan was her biggest mistake, mistaking a scoundrel for true love.

Her greatest error in life was failing to see people for who they truly were.

Hearing Drusilla's words, Leander asked, "What exactly happened between you and Harlan back then?"
