Chapter 2375:

In the end, she said, “Then this matter must be handled by several of us. I can’t bring it up alone. I can only show my sincere intentions. If I personally tell her our request, she will definitely refuse. She may even kick me out in a fit of anger.”

Bruce thought about it and felt Erica’s suggestion made sense. Indeed, the relationship between Erica and Annabel had never been good.

Their conflict had even escalated to the point of physical confrontation. So, if Erica approached Annabel, she would probably not give Erica any chance to talk to her.

Besides, it would only worsen the conflict between them. So Erica was not a good choice to negotiate with Annabel. There were only a few other candidates left, but everyone chose to ask Tyson about it.

In the Benton family, Tyson was the most suitable person to deal with Annabel. He could just pretend to mention it inadvertently.

After everyone agreed on one idea, they all drove straight to Annabel’s place.

They were so enthusiastic that they did not mind Annabel’s cold demeanor.

“The babies are so adorable. It would be great if they could spend more time with Bruce.”

Hearing this, Bruce deliberately said, “Taking care of the babies is not a problem. But unfortunately, I’m too old and not in good health. If I have to travel back and forth, I definitely won’t be able to do it.”

Erica chimed in, supporting Bruce’s words. When she spoke about how much he loved the babies, she was looking at Annabel out of the corner of her eye.

She observed Annabel’s reaction, hoping for some sign, but to her dismay, Annabel remained cold and expressionless.

Annabel said nothing, her face devoid of emotion. Even when she did speak, she deliberately avoided making eye contact with Erica, leaving Erica feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

But this matter had to be resolved. If it wasn’t, Bruce would not be satisfied.

Erica felt she wouldn’t be able to withstand Bruce’s anger when they returned home.

“Everything is fine now. The two lovely babies are back with us, and they will surely grow up healthy.”

I agree. They’re adorable. With so much love surrounding them, how could they not thrive?”

As they spoke, their shared sentiment was clear — they held a deep affection for the children and longed to be closer to these two little ones.

They continued their conversation, but Annabel remained aloof, her expression icy and her words few.

She occasionally exchanged a few polite remarks with the members of the Benton family who usually treated her with warmth and were not cold toward her.

Annabel stayed indifferent to those who had harbored past grievances against her, choosing to ignore their presence altogether.

Meanwhile, Bruce attempted to signal Tyson multiple times, hoping he would broach the subject he had in mind.

However, Tyson found no suitable moment to raise the issue. Although he had agreed to Bruce’s request, he wanted to prevent further escalation of tensions within the family.

Still, Tyson was determined to find the right opportunity. If it never appeared, he would rather not bring up the topic at all.

Observing this, Bruce seized a moment to approach the matter indirectly, attempting to gauge Annabel’s response.
