Wasn't there a saying that sons often resembled their mothers? She couldn't spot any trace of herself in them. They seemed like Little replicas of their father.

“How can they look so much like him?" Raegan whispered under her breath.

Erick overheard her but chose to ignore it.

After the children were taken away, Raegan had a healthy meal, and then the doctor told her to take a rest.

Erick stayed, not leaving her side.

Raegan asked, “Erick, what about him?"

She didn't need to specify who she meant, as Erick undoubtedly knew she was referring to Mitchel.

Mitchel had professed such deep concern for their children, so why hadn't he visited the babies since the birth? Was it possible that their exchange in the park had hurt him? Raegan refused to believe that Mitchel would become that sensitive. Besides, the confrontation in the park had been his fault.

Erick paused and chose to lie. “He's probably busy working on the project these days."

Raegan frowned. Even with his busy schedule, couldn't he find a moment to visit their children?

“Don't hold it against him. He's probably just really tied up right now." Erick attempted to speak for Mitchel.

Raegan gave Erick a skeptical look. “Erick, what had him bribed you with?" Why was even Erick making excuses for Mitchel now?

Erick replied, "He hasn't given me anything. I'm just being realistic. He does care about you."

Raegan raised her eyebrow. Something felt off. This was a complete reversal of Erick's previous staunch opposition. Although Erick had softened a bit later, he still maintained a stance of keeping Mitchel at a distance from her. Now Erick had completely changed his tune.

“Erick, what's going on with you? What has he given you?" Raegan pressed further.

Erick cleared his throat. "Actually, I just feel that he's the children's father and having a better relationship with him wouldn't hurt you or the children. And he's surely more committed to you than any others.”

Raegan's mind raced. She grasped Erick's arm and asked, “Erick, tell me the truth. Is our family in financial trouble? Are you trying to push me and the babies away because we can't afford to support us?"

Erick was shocked. "What are you talking about? Our business is thriving. I could support ten more children and ensure they all live like royalty."

"But you're making me worried. Don't stress. I have my funds. If you run into financial trouble, I don't have much, just a few billion, but feel free to use it."

Eric was at a loss for words. “Stop overthinking things. I've got plenty of money, and your money is yours. You also get half of the profits from the Foster family business. No need to fret about it.”
