You Are My One and Only

Chapter 256

Chapter 256

Sylvie took the lollipop and removed the wrapper before stuffing it into Hendrick's mouth. "Have a taste. It's sweet."

Hendrick was a haughty man, but at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to be stern. The other kids soon familiarize themselves with him.

Everyone was furious when they saw that. They were there to watch Patricia make a fool of herself, but the show they were hoping to see never took place. Furthermore, as they looked at the harmonious sight, they felt that the kids would replace Patricia and become Hendrick's new favorites.

Meanwhile, Patricia took a seat beside Zachary and eyed him. "Why are you here?"

She didn't think the Selwyns and the Anistons were good friends, and the two families rarely came into contact.

Why is he here? To see my grandfather? Nope. Is he into one of the Anistons? That's not possible, either. He just expressed his love for me a while ago. He's not really a jerk, so he wouldn't do such a thing.

With a smile, Zachary took her hand. "I'm here to explain to Old Mr. Aniston that I'm the kids' father, and I'm the one who has been taking care of you over the years."

He was joyful as he spoke.

In fact, he felt he should've done it a long time ago, but he had been waiting for her to bring him back to her family. However, with Isaac by her side now, he felt he had to take the initiative to do that.

Hearing that, Hendrick turned to look at them. "You know what, Patricia? If you had told me you were with Zachary, I wouldn't have been against it. Now, he has apologized to me, and I've forgiven him. Both of you are mature enough to get married, so it's time to talk about your marriage."

Patricia was stunned. How did things turn out this way?

She was just there to let the kids see their great-grandfather, but they were already discussing her marriage.

Zachary leaned close to her and said in a small voice, "It's the best solution, Patricia. I love the kids. If you let me be their father, your grandpa and the others will stop saying that they are illegitimate kids."

Patricia batted her eyes. There was no doubt that Zachary had a point, but she had never considered marrying him before. There's no way the Selwyns will agree to it. She pressed her lips into a line. With the Anistons around, she couldn't turn him down. Therefore, she just remained silent.

Seeing that, Gwen put on a smile. "You've certainly found the right man, Patricia. Zachary is a promising young man, and you've done the Anistons proud."

She secretly gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Adeline had a chance to marry a bright man, but the wedding was called off eventually. Hendrick was infuriated, saying he felt extremely humiliated. Now, he was vexed whenever he saw them.

On the other hand, Patricia's kids had gained Hendrick's favor, and she was going to marry one of the Selwyns.

Gwen was worried that Patricia would become important again in the family, so she was increasingly displeased. Then, she rose from the couch and shuffled toward the kitchen. The moment she entered the place, she fished out her phone and called her cousin.

Angie was married to Zachary's uncle, Craig Selwyn, so she knew the affairs of the Selwyns very well.

Gwen had to find out whether the Selwyns were aware of what was going on between Zachary and Patricia as well as the kids. She knew where the kids came from, but she couldn't tell anyone about it.

Just by letting the Selwyns know that Zachary was fooled, they would be infuriated. Why would Zachary marry Patricia when the kids were not his own?

"What's wrong, Gwen?" Angie was embarrassed during an outing with the other wealthy ladies the other day, and she was reprimanded by her sister-in-law when she returned home. Therefore, she wasn't willing to pick up the phone when she saw Gwen's number.

"There's something I need to tell you, Angie. Zachary is in my house now. He says Patricia's kids are his own. Do the Selwyns know that?"

Angie's interest was piqued when she heard that. "What did you just say? Are you talking about that woman who gave birth to kids out of wedlock?"

"Yes, it's her. Now, Zachary says those are his kids, and he wants to marry Patricia."
