Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 A long–planned scheme to kill two birds with one stone.

Watching Hugo lead Scarlett and the three little ones down the stairs, Henry had every

reason to suspect that the party’s early start was more than just to vent Scarlett’s

frustrations. It was a well–planned move that killed two birds with one stone.

Not only did it punish the Lowe Family and support Scarlett, but it also publicly announced

the identities of the three little ones. As for Scarlett, everyone knew she had children with

Hugo, so what else could she be?

Hugo doted on her so much, what else could she be?

Who would dare to make a move on Scarlett after this?

Even if they knew about the divorce, no one would dare…

It’s like blocking her path to any other suitors!

Thinking about this, Henry couldn’t help but shake his head.

Such strategy, such cunning!

He couldn’t help but applaud.

And once again, he reminded himself never to cross the boss, or who knows how he’d end

up!

With that thought, Henry maintained a mysterious smile.

At the banquet, Scarlett mostly stayed out of sight, resting upstairs, while Grandpa took the

three little ones to socialize downstairs.

Even though Scarlett didn’t say much about these things, she was fully aware of what was

happening.

Since she had allowed the kids to reconnect with the Hodges Family, she wasn’t bothered by

it and didn’t plan to interfere.

Although she gave birth to them, Scarlett believed they were individuals with their own lives.

As long as they were happy, she was content.

Besides, co–parenting could only benefit the three little ones, with no downsides. Scarlett

understood this clearly.

Upstairs, William was also present, having been invited.

Earlier, when Scarlett had a confrontation with Irene downstairs, William missed it. By the

time he returned, the situation was mostly resolved. Otherwise, given their audacity, he would

have surely stepped in to give them a piece of his mind!

However, seeing how Grandpa and Hugo stood up for Scarlett and the kids, he couldn’t find

any words to add.

Though reluctant, William Adler had to admit that they had done a good job.

Currently, Old Hodges was downstairs with the children, and William felt a bit uneasy.

“That Old Hodges, those kids are part of the Adler Family, yet now they’re showing off with

the Hodges Family!” William said with a hint of jealousy.

Scarlett Adler didn’t respond, her eyes fixed on her phone.

William frowned and looked at her, “Girl, don’t you have anything to say?”

Scarlett put her phone away and looked at William calmly, “Grandpa, the kids are ours, but

they’re theirs too.”

“What do you mean?”

“This outcome is better than we imagined, isn’t it? At least the Hodges Family isn’t trying to take them from us, and the kids are happy. That’s enough for me,” Scarlett said plainly.

“But, but I feel like the kids aren’t part of the Adler Family anymore…”

Scarlett smiled, “Grandpa, the kids‘ belonging is ultimately their own choice. Their surname or who they’re with is just a formality, and it’s temporary. They’ll grow up and leave us eventually. We only have the duty to raise and educate them. Are we supposed to keep them

tied to us forever?”

“That’s true, but…” William wasn’t sure how to put it into words.

“At least they’re happy now, and that’s enough. Let them choose their own paths, whatever kind of life they want,” Scarlett said.

Looking at Scarlett, William couldn’t argue with her. He pressed his lips together and stayed

silent.

Seeing William’s disappointment, Scarlett spoke up, “Grandpa, don’t worry. No matter where they go or who they become, you’ll always be their great–grandfather, and nothing can change

that!”

Thinking about it, William nodded, “You’re right…”

Scarlett smiled at him, “You’re also my dearest and most beloved grandpa.”

William finally smiled genuinely, taking a deep breath before speaking, “You’re right.

Co–parenting is indeed better than raising them alone. At least with the Hodges Family as a

support, no one can bully them in the future.”

Scarlett’s lips curled into a smile, but she said nothing.

Just then, the door swung open, and the three little ones came in, followed by Mr. Hodges.

“Scarlett!” Fourth called out.

As soon as she entered and saw William, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to him,

“Great–grandfather!”

William’s face broke into a wide smile. Scarlett was right; as long as they had their family

bond, it didn’t matter who they belonged to.

Thinking about this, William felt a sense of relief.

“So, are you happy?” William asked.

Fourth nodded vigorously and then said, “If great–grandfather is here, Fourth would be even

happier!”

William chuckled, “Alright then, whenever Fourth wants great–grandfather around,

great–grandfather will be here, okay?”

Fourth’s eyes sparkled. As a little girl, she was sensitive and worried that William might be

upset. But hearing this, she glanced at Scarlett and then back at William, “Really?”

“Of course!”

“Great–grandfather is the best! Fourth loves you the most!” Fourth snuggled back into

“What about great–grandfather?” Grandpa Hugo asked, stepping forward with a hint of

jealousy.

As soon as he spoke, William shot him a look. “You’re second!”

Grandpa Hugo was about to say something but thought better of it. After all, his grandson

would eventually marry William’s granddaughter. So, he held back. “Second is fine, I can live

with that!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted in laughter, including William.

When Hugo walked in, he saw this scene and paused, his eyes filled with warmth.

This was what life was all about.

“Grandpa,” Hugo said as he walked in.

Grandpa Hugo turned around, “Is everything done?”

Hugo nodded.

William checked the time. “Alright, it’s getting late. We should head back.”

Grandpa Hugo, not quite ready to end the night, quickly suggested, “It’s so late already. Why

not come back to the old house with us? You can head home in the morning.”

After all these years, William knew exactly what Grandpa Hugo was thinking.

But before he could respond, Fourth spoke up, “Great–grandpa, come with us. Grandpa said

he renovated new rooms for us. I’d love for you to see them.”

“Didn’t Great–Grandfather just say that when Fourth wants you around, you should be there?”

Uh…

Is he really using what he just learned like that?

“You promised the kid just now, you can’t go back on your word!” Mr. Adler hinted.

William furrowed his brows, his gaze shifting to Scarlett.
