I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 114 A few seconds later , Adrian clenched his teeth , puffing out his cheeks . He yelled , " You're not our dad ! Our dad would believe us , not someone else ! " As soon as he said that , George pulled both the children behind him . Still seated , he said , " Since the kids say that they don't know you , I think it's best if you leave . " Carter took a step forward , his voice low and heavy . " Mr. Snider , was stealing my woman not enough ? Now you want to steal my children , too ? " In his eyes , George had taken Rhea from him . " They just said they don't know you .

Forcing them to go with you is kidnapping . " George turned to the police . " It's getting late . Is there anything else ? " Indeed , that was true . Since the children had denied knowing Carter , they couldn't just take them away . But Carter could prove that they were his biological children . Lauren quickly said , " Officer , they're my kids ! We have the records ! " ! " Your kids ?" The officer raised a brow . Lauren froze . The officer sighed . " You know where the kids are now , so stop making a scene . They're with their mother . So , why call the police ?

" " She's not their mother ... " Lauren was desperate to prove her identity . " Legally , she is . Besides , the children have their own will and can choose for themselves . " George's voice dropped . " If you have something to say , take it outside . We're having dinner . " Upon hearing that , the officers quickly started ushering them away from the door . Chloe protested , " She kidnapped the kids , and you're not going to do anything ? " One officer checked his phone before replying , " Ma'am , kidnapping is a serious charge . You need evidence . From what I know , Mrs.

Jamison raised those children herself . She's their stepmother . How does having dinner together count as kidnapping ? But if you try to drag them away by force , that's another matter entirely . " " I'm their birth mother ! " Lauren said innocently . " Why can't I take them ? " " Do you think you get to abandon them and take them back whenever you please ? " the officer shot 1/2 Chapter 114 +25 BONUS back . Lauren's face went pale . She had no retort . " Go back now . Outsiders aren't allowed to wander here . " With that , the door shut in their faces .

Carter stood outside , staring at the villa in frustration . He questioned how they could be a family . They hadn't given birth to his children or raised them , yet now they got to keep them ? Arielle and Adrian were his kids . " Bring them out , " Carter said coldly . " I'm their birth father and legal guardian . I'm not letting them stay here . " The officer sighed . " But they're with their other legal guardian . " On paper , Rhea was still their mother . That fact couldn't be erased . Carter pulled out his phone and called Rhea . She let it ring a long time before answering . " What now ?

11 " The kids are mine , " Carter said sharply . " Bring them out here . I'm taking them home . " " Lauren hit them , and you didn't even care ? " Rhea shot back . Carter frowned , recalling the children's words and attitudes . Had he misunderstood them ? But how could Lauren possibly hit the kids ? " Let me in . I'll ask them myself , " he said . After a pause , Rhea replied , " Come in alone . " With that , she hung up . Carter turned and walked toward the villa . Lauren tried to follow , but he stopped her . He told her , " You wait here . " She hesitated , nervously clenching her palms .

" Okay . " Inside the villa , Carter ignored George completely . His gaze was fixed on the children as he said , " Arielle , Adrian . " Chapter 115 Chapter 115
