A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 265

“Alex.”

Another pause.

“Rose.”

“And Iris.”

Jason’s eyes widened.

For the first time since I had met him.

He looked genuinely speechless.

I smiled nervously.

“I know it’s complicated.”

A pause.

“But they’re already my children.”

My voice softened.

“They just don’t have the paperwork yet.”

The silence that followed felt enormous.

Mrs. Sun was crying.

Mr. Sun looked emotional.

Grandfather looked proud.

Jason looked like he had forgotten how words worked.

Then-

CRASH.

A tremendous crash echoed from upstairs.

Everyone jumped.

The sound was immediately followed by silence.

Complete silence.

The kind of silence that only happened when children realized they had been caught.

Jason slowly closed his eyes.

tared at the ceffing.

Mrs. Sun stared at the ceiling.

Mr. Sun stared at the ceiling.

Grandfather stared at the ceiling.

No one moved.

Then, from directly above us, a very familiar voice whispered:

“I told you the floor would creak.”

Iris.

Another whisper followed.

“It wasn’t me.”

Alex.

A third voice.

“It was definitely you.”

Rose.

And finally Alice.

Loud enough for the entire dining room to hear.

“Do you think this means Amber wants to be our mommy forever?”

The silence that followed was absolute.

Then Jason buried his face in his hands.

And I realized the children had absolutely been spying on the family dinner.

Forever

Amber POV

The crash above us was followed by complete silence.

The kind of silence that only existed when children were trying very hard not to be discovered.

I exchanged a look with Jason.

Jason exchanged a look with Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun exchanged a look with Grandfather.

Nobody said anything.

We all silently agreed to pretend nothing had happened.

The children wanted to spy?

Fine.

We would let them.

For now.

I took a sip of water.

Jason resumed eating dessert.

Grandfather cleared his throat.

“Well.”

A pause.

“I don’t think your uncle will put up much of a fight if you want to adopt Rose.”

My eyebrows rose.

Grandfather looked entirely unimpressed.

“After all.”

Another pause.

“He hasn’t exactly been Father of the Year.”

Mrs. Sun snorted.

Mr. Sun nodded.

Grandfather continued.

“The bastard.”

No one disagreed.

Not even me.

Rose deserved better.

e always liad.

Grandfather leaned back in his chair.

“The more complicated issue is Iris.”

The mood shifted immediately.

Because we all knew he was right.

Iris already had family.

Complicated family.

But family nonetheless.

“Mr. Stevens might object.” 2

A pause.

“She’s his only heir.”

I frowned.

That part worried me.

I didn’t want Iris to feel abandoned.

Or stolen.

Or pressured.

I simply wanted her to know she had a home.

Mrs. Sun suddenly reached for her phone.

I blinked.

“What are you doing?”

She looked at me as if the answer were obvious.

“Calling him.”

Of course she was.

Why wait until tomorrow when you could create chaos immediately?

The call connected after only a few rings.

Mr. Stevens sounded surprised.

But happy.

Mrs. Sun spent several minutes updating him on the school.

The new castle.

The first day of classes.

Mostly Iris.

His relief was obvious.

Even through the speaker.

Eventually Mrs. Sun smiled.

Then handed me the phone.

“Your turn.”

I immediately regretted every life decision that had led me here.

“Hello?”

Mr. Stevens laughed softly.

“Amber.”

A pause.

“To what do I owe this honor?”

I took a deep breath.

Then decided honesty was probably best.

“I wanted to ask you something.”

His voice immediately became serious.

“Of course.”

I tightened my grip on the phone.
