Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 71

Lilith sighed, "There's nothing I can do about my uncle's antics! He's all protective over Drusilla now, especially since my great-grandfather has taken quite a liking to her."

It seems Wendell mistook Drusilla for Odette, and that's probably why Enoch has been so defensive of her!

If only Wendell knew Drusilla was an impostor and didn't rely on her so much, things would be so much easier!

...

Downstairs, as Harlan escorted his mother away, Oberon turned to Drusilla and said, “Ma’am, please go ahead with your plans. Mr. Taylor and I will be heading off now.”

“Thank you,” Drusilla glanced at Oberon, feeling a bit embarrassed remembering how much time he had spent dealing with her issues.

“It’s no trouble at all. You’re Mr. Taylor’s wife, and it’s my duty to assist you in any way possible,” Oberon reassured her.

Drusilla felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

After saying that, Oberon got back into the car.

Drusilla caught Enoch’s eye and gave him a friendly smile, recalling the afternoon they had spent looking at wedding dresses without feeling annoyed. Being with this man, after all, came with its rewards.

Noticing her gaze, Enoch's eyes softened considerably before he hurriedly rolled up the car window.

Humph, women, always trying to charm him! Give her a cookie, and she thinks she is entitled to the whole bakery!

...

Drusilla arrived at the daycare a bit late due to the hassle with Saskia’s issue. Most of the kids had already been picked up, leaving only Colton and Cormac. Before she even entered, she heard the teacher’s exasperated voice, “Colton, why did you dismantle my laptop?”

Colton’s response was stern, “Your laptop was broken!”

He seemed to have completely forgotten about getting hurt the night before and was back to his lively self.

Although he was usually cute and sensible, the teacher couldn’t help but feel angry over his actions.

Drusilla apologized, “I’m sorry for being late today. I was held up. I’ll make sure to have a talk with him when we get home.”

The teacher, frustrated, glanced at Colton, unsure of what to say.

Colton, seeing the adults flustered, said, “I can fix it.”

“Colton,” the teacher said with a hint of resignation, looking at the little boy’s earnest face. “You can’t dismantle my things anymore, okay?”

Though he claimed he could fix it, the teacher couldn’t take a child’s word as gospel. She had no choice but to accept the situation.

To everyone’s surprise, Colton didn’t pay much heed to their conversation and instead focused on reassembling the laptop with serious dedication.
