NovelTrueChapter 1232:
Truthfully, Freya had never dreamed of piling on so many after-school classes. With the combined backing of the
Briggs Group, Anita International, and the Lambert Group, the twins were set for life whether they excelled or
not. But after hearing their classmates list off soccer, robotics, and ballet, Jesse and Nina chdetermined
to do it all—and promptly signed up for half the offerings themselves. That was how the oversized schedule had
landed in Alan's hands—at the kids’ own insistence.
Fortunately, a handful of classes only met once a week, so there was still space for games and lazy afternoons.
Alan's gaze drifted to the two pint-sized children, their heads barely reaching his thighs. For a moment, he
simply gaped, completely thrown. Since when did kids turn into tiny overachievers?
Freya tried to keep her voice gentle as she assured Alan, “If things ever get out of hand, just call my dad or
Ellis’s parents. Sheila would be happy to take them too.”
“Got it,” Alan gave a casual nod, already knowing he would never let them out of his sight. For him, these two
kids were pure sunshine, and nothing would convince him to send them away.
Nina edged closer, clutching the hem of Freya's shirt, her round eyes brimming with unshed tears. “Mommy,
can’t | cwith you?” she whimpered, her voice trembling with hope.

moment, Freya hesitated, searching for the right words while Nina's small hands clung desperately to her.
Alan, watching Nina's tears spill over, felt a pang of helplessness. “Hey, sweetheart, don’t cry,” he soothed,
gently dabbing at her cheeks with a tissue. “Uncle Alan’s right here. We're going to have an amazing time
together, | promise.”
Just then, Jesse called out, his quiet voice breaking the heavy silence, “Uncle Alan.”
Alan knelt beside the twins, forcing a bright smile. “What is it, Jesse? Do you miss Mommy and Daddy too?” he
asked softly, still cradling Nina close as he tried to lift the mood.
Jesse's calm little face didn’t so much as flicker. “Nina practiced her crying for ages,” he announced, his voice
steady and unnaturally mature for his age. “You wiped her tears away too soon, so now she can’t keep up the
act.”
Nina, still blinking, let her watery eyes go wide with innocent sincerity. “That's right!” she chirped, nodding
eagerly.

Alan stared, stunned. Had he just heard that right? Was Jesse calling Nina's tears fake? He stood there, at a total
loss—what kind of children were these?
Ellis cleared his throat, sweeping the twins with a sharp, warning look. “You two had better behave for me,” he
said, his tone brooking no argument. “Understand?”
Nina bobbed her head, her lips curving into a brilliant crescent-eyed smile. “Okay!” she promised, her mischief
barely concealed.
