Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1618

The thought made Emmy's chest tighten painfully, and she instinctively squeezed the soft little hands she was holding. Yet she also knew she could not stop the children from meeting their own grandfather. Emmy lowered her eyes, looking down at the two toddlers who were still blissfully unaware of the situation. Right now, her only option was to find an opportunity to persuade Jared and make him abandon the idea of taking them away.

Taking a deep breath, she led the children forward. As they walked, she softly instructed them. "Joey, Dolly, do you remember your grandpa? Grandpa came to visit you today. When we go inside, make sure you say hello to him, okay?"

The two toddlers tilted their heads up, their eyes wide with confusion.

"Who is Grandpa?" Dolly asked, blinking her big, curious eyes. "Is it the sweeping grandpa outside?"

Hearing those innocent words, a wave of indescribable sorrow washed over Emmy. There was an old man who swept the fallen leaves on the main road outside Cloudrest Peak Castle every day. Because the two children were so outgoing, they would always sweetly call out 'Grandpa' whenever they saw him. Yet, they did not even recognize their own flesh-and-blood grandfather. Or perhaps, even if they had seen him before, they had completely forgotten him.

As the President, Jared spent his days managing the affairs of the nation, constantly busy to the point where even sleep was a luxury. Over the past two years, the number of times he had found a moment to visit these children could be counted on one hand. Back when they were still living at Moonlight Bay, he would usually send someone to bring them to the Executive Mansion, look at them for a bit, and send them back the very same day. They were so young back then, so naturally, their memories of him were entirely blurred.

Emmy crouched down and patiently explained. "No, not the sweeping grandpa. He is your daddy's daddy. He is also a very powerful leader, a very important person."

The twins had absolutely no concept of what a 'powerful leader' meant, but they understood 'daddy's daddy'.
