"To not alarm the other Yvonne, I still didn't dare to ask your mother for a picture of you when you were a child.
"Isn't that enough to prove that they are our children? Besides, even if they are not our children, so what? It's enough as long as you're back."
"Marcus…" Yvonne leaned into Marcus' arms and cried inconsolably.
Even if they were only going to be apart for a short span, both of them were still reluctant to leave each other. Even Aino, who was looking at them from the side, was also feeling very saddened. However, the three of them knew that they had to be separated at that moment. When Marcus left, he did not even dare to look back at Yvonne. He was afraid that Yvonne would cry.
After he got out of there and got into the car, Marcus took a while to adjust his emotions in the car before he drove back to the company. Nobody knew that Marcus had gone out in the morning. It was after he returned to his office that he took off the facial hair glued on and the wig, and then he continued working. After he got off work, he drove home on time. The fake Yvonne was waiting for him at home. The fake Yvonne was very good at making conversations, so she talked to Marcus' parents very well. The whole family liked her very much. The two little children were the only exception. When the two little children saw that Marcus had returned, they competed with each other to run toward Marcus while crying. However, when they almost got to Marcus, Felis would give way to Dulcie.
"Dad, Dad…" Dulcie felt extremely safe in Marcus' arms. Marcus felt that his heart was bleeding.
However, he pretended that he was fine on the surface. "Were you guys well-behaved today?"
Both the little children nodded.
"If you're well-behaved these few days, after I've handled all of my business in these few days, I'll take both of you out to play, alright?" Marcus asked.
Both the little children immediately nodded very quickly.
Marcus turned his head and looked toward the fake Yvonne. "Yvonne, I've thought about it. For the sake of our happiness in the future, I planned to…
"Let's talk inside," Marcus said again. The fake Yvonne instantly understood his meaning.
After both of them went inside, Marcus asked for her opinion sincerely. "I planned to give these two children to someone else, so you have to be nicer to them these few days. Otherwise, if word got out, people would say that the Shaw family have mistreated the children. You have to leave yourself a good reputation. Even if the two children disrespected you, just put up with them for a little, alright?"
"Of course, I'll listen to you, silly. I will certainly be nice to the children." They were only going to stay at home for a few days, of course, she could put up with them. She certainly would be very, very good to the children.
After he had reached an agreement with the fake Yvonne, Marcus started to display his affection for Yvonne in a very high-profile manner in public. After a few days, everyone in South City knew that Marcus' wife had returned, and they would be having a very grand replacement wedding soon. The fake Yvonne's face was covered with smiles of happiness. She was extremely happy. Her happily-ever-after has already started. Even if she got to where she was by stepping on the real Yvonne's back, so what?
"Yvonne, you've been wandering out there for so many years and so many people have helped you. For our wedding, do you want to come up with a name list and invite all of them?" Marcus asked for the fake Yvonne's opinion as if it was done unintentionally.
