Chapter 13 Six years had passed. Emerging from Gare de Lyon, a young woman of slender figure and fair complexion donned a lace sun hat and a simple moon white dress. Her graceful steps exuded an air of cool nobility, giving her an extraordinary presence. She was none other than Rachel Morris. Flanking her were a pair of adorable toddlers. The young boy, dressed in French jeans and a white shirt, possessed an incredible charm with his porcelain-like, delicate skin and a demeanor so poised it seemed as if water might flow from his eyes. His tilted sun hat crowned a head with one hand nonchalantly slipped into his trouser pocket, giving him an air of cool confidence. The baby girl boasted thick, ebony hair, large almond-shaped eyes, and two endearing dimples that appeared whenever she smiled, making her utterly kissable. The trio immediately garnered the attention and admiration of onlookers. "Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Christopher, and this is Jennifer." The two little ones greeted passersby with sunny smiles, walking like pint-sized celebrities. Rachel furrowed her brow. These twins carried an innate charisma from the moment they were born, effortlessly commanding attention wherever they went. Their presence was like an indelible spotlight, making them impossible to overlook. Six years prior. After being pushed into the sea, a wave eventually washed her ashore. Fortunately, someone sent by her grandmother came to her rescue. However, the twist of fate was that, on that very night, she discovered she was pregnant! And she was carrying not one, but three babies! Ten months later. At the H?pital Necker-Enfants Malades, a maternity hospital, she successfully gave birth to Christopher and Jen. But her ordeal wasn't over; her stomach pained her again, leading to the birth of a third child. Sadly, this baby passed away shortly after birth. In pursuit of a brighter future for her children and a break from the memories of that somber city, she decided to leave Paris and set her sights on the United States. Her grandmother, now eighty-five and gravely ill, yearned to see them one last time. Grandma was the sole elder in the world who truly cared for her. She hurried back with the children, eager to grant her grandmother's wish. Suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief. If she hadn't witnessed it herself, she would never have thought it possible. Not far in the distance, A tall, muscular man, impeccably dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was striding toward her. Despite the passing of six years, one look was all it took to recognize him, Arthur Bridgewater! He possessed a cold, handsome countenance, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. One hand slipped casually into his trouser pocket, his long legs moving gracefully, radiating a powerful presence. In the six years they'd been apart, he had become even more handsome and self-assured. His every move carried the maturity of a refined man. Rachel's heart raced, making it hard to breathe. Chapter 13 What a stroke of bad luck! To avoid attracting undue attention with her two beautiful babies, she had intentionally disembarked the plane in Brussels first, transferring to a high speed train to Paris with her final stop at Gare de Lyon. She'd assumed the high speed rail station would be less conspicuous, only to be met with this scoundrel as soon as she stepped off the train, "Christopher." Her heart leaped, her complexion paling as she promptly pulled her son closer. Her son, Christopher, shared the exact likeness of Arthur. Given Arthur's sharpness, he could quickly piece everything together if he spotted him today. The Bridgewater family belonged to the upper echelons of wealth, and their progeny could not be overlooked. In due course, he would undoubtedly vie with her for custody of their son. Christopher was her entire world, and she couldn't bear to lose him. But it was already too late. Beside her, young Christopher had one hand in his pocket and was making his way toward Arthur with his little legs. Father and son approached each other, mirroring each other's stride perfectly. Indeed, he was Arthur's biological child, impossible to mistake. In an instant, Rachel's face drained of all its color.
