The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Hestia paused, "Let's move somewhere else." Move out?

Hestia was stunned.

For Eltham, the decision was long overdue. The royal family valued its reputation above all, and the Queen using Twila's identity to spite Brittany had already made a laughingstock of the royals. It was high time to set things right or face dire consequences! "But you said before-"

The Queen had explicitly stated they could always stay.

"Ms. Bennett."

The butler, sensing her thoughts, timely interjected, "Prince Eltham is soon to be engaged to Ms. Lynette. It's inappropriate for you and Miss Twila to continue living here."

Hestia's lips thinned. She had known all along that the Queen never really approved of her, even despised her background!

"I understand."

Eltham was pleased with this development.

That very afternoon, Hestia and Twila were relocated to a villa complex, a mere five-minute drive from Star Elementary School.

Twila was both crying and making a fuss, "Daddy, don't send me away."

"Daddy-"

Twila clung to Eltham, refusing to let go: "Daddy, did that mean lady say something? Why don't you want me?"

Why was Daddy abandoning her?

Eltham was never fond of children, but over time, he had grown attached to Twila. However, faced with her relentless crying and the public's watchful eyes, he felt a twinge of irritation. "Twila."

Hestia, realizing his mood was souring.

"Twila."

She quickly pulled Twila away, signaling her to stop the tantrum.

Twila, used to getting her way, shrugged off Hestia: "Daddy, why don't you want me? Are you going to leave me and Mom?"

"Twila," Eltham's gaze lowered, "I'm not abandoning you."

"This is a royal residence, not a place for everyone. Your status doesn't suit a permanent stay here."

Twila seemed to half understand: "So, do you still want me, Daddy?"

"Of course Eltham, seeing her teary eyes, tried to soothe her despite his annoyance: "You need to behave, study hard, and I'll visit you every month." NovelDrama.Org

He wouldn't neglect his own child.

Twila was still unwilling: "Daddy, can't you marry Mommy?"

Other kids' parents were married; hers should be too.

Eltham withdrew his hand, the warmth in his eyes completely gone: "Twila, tye told you many times, your mother and I have been separated for a long time. I have someone I love."

He paused: "And Ms. Lynette is already pregnant."

Twila was shocked.

Pregnant?

No wonder Grandma wanted her gone. It must be because that wicked woman was pregnant, probably with a boy, or else Grandma wouldn't abandon her! Twila trembled with anger but forced herself to calm down.

She couldn't make a scene.

She needed to be a good child.

Otherwise, she would be punished, abandoned!

Twila forced a smile, "So she's pregnant."

She dropped her previous defiance: "Daddy, will I get to see Ms. Lynette again?"

"You will."

Eltham, seeing her acceptance, softened considerably: "You and your mother will always be together, and your mom will find her own happiness someday."

Who in the world could compare to Eltham?

Without a word, Twila let the bodyguard lift her into the car, watched Hestia get in, and the black car took off towards the villa complex.

Throughout the ride, Twila remained silent.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Hestia, worried, asked, "Twila, are you okay?"
