"You know, now that you mention it, I'm actually quite excited. I should really find a chance to catch up with Enoch," Verena said. "Do you think, just maybe, Enoch could be the father of the twins? If that's the case, you've got to seize the moment. Imagine tying the knot with the Taylor family and making Harlan, that jerk, eat his heart out."
"No way," Drusilla replied with a dismissive wave of her hand. "Enoch and I? That's just not happening, Verena. Drop the wild ideas! Oh, and if Blythe ends up calling you about Colton and Cormac, just say the kids are yours and your ex's. Don't spill the beans, okay?"
"But why?" Verena's brow furrowed in confusion. "Don't you want to find their dad?"
"Find their dad and then what? Have his family find out and take the kids away from me? What would I do then?" Drusilla retorted.
The Taylor family had been oblivious to the existence of the twins until now.
But for Drusilla, those twins had arrived in a world in her anticipation.
For them, she had endured countless hardships, and it was because of them she had transformed into the epitome of a strong mother.
She couldn't bear the thought of losing them!
"Come on, it might not go down like that! Imagine if they really are the Taylor's kids. They might be thrilled, and you marrying into the Taylor family could be a win-win. You know how many people dream of that?" Verena said.
"Are you joking?" Drusilla looked at Verena sternly. "Do you really think marrying into the Taylor family is that easy?"
Even though she was technically Enoch's wife, Drusilla knew that Enoch looked down on her deep down. Their marriage was nothing but a contract. Enoch would never truly agree to marry her!
Besides... wasn't her life with the twins good enough as it was? Why bother trying to fit into a world where she was always looking over her shoulder?
Perhaps it was because of Harlan, but Drusilla was now unwilling to trust anyone anymore.
Verena looked at Drusilla, her voice softening, "Sweetie, haven't you ever thought about finding someone who truly loves you and letting him take care of you?"
