Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 789: However, Caylee's face took on a serious expression as she gathered the children close on the couch, speaking in hushed tones. "You both noticed Mommy's tears, didn't you?"

Zander nodded and said, "Yes, I'm certain. Mommy cried. I think she even looked at me just as she began to cry."

A shadow of concern crossed Zander's features. "Caylee, did I upset Mommy somehow?"

Zenia interjected earnestly, "If we did anything to make Mommy sad, we want to say sorry!" Touched by their sincerity and concern, Caylee felt a wave of affection and regret.

She ruffled their hair affectionately.

Drawing in a deep breath, she whispered, "Tonight, your mom and Gorman attended a significant event. She was cheerful at first, but their evening changed after an unexpected encounter."

Intrigued, Zander's eyes grew wide. "Who did they meet?"

Caylee felt a headache coming on as she pondered over the orders Gorman had given her.

He seemed to have grown even more unscrupulous, stooping so low that he used children to achieve his goal.

However, at the thought of her hospitalized grandmother, she realized that she was out of options.

"That guy must really be terrible. He hurt your mom then and made her sad. Tonight she saw him again, and this must be upsetting her."

Caylee paused shortly, then continued, "Tonight, Linsey wanted that necklace, and Gorman wanted to buy it for her, but that bad man took it away from her. He is a really awful man. Your mom wouldn't be upset if it weren't for him."

It was easy for Caylee to sound serious to two four-year-olds if she deepened her voice a little.

After all, the victim of this wicked man was their dear mother, Linsey.

As expected, Zander's face twisted into a look of anger, while Zenia seemed quite sad.

"That guy is so mean. Why does he bully Mommy?" Zenia asked, her voice trembling.

Caylee, seeing that Zenia was on the verge of tears, said soothingly, "Don't cry, sweetheart. Linsey would only worry more if you cry."

Zander nodded and said, "Caylee is right. We can't cry, or we'll make Mommy more sad."

This seemed to calm Zenia down. She sniffed and took Zander's hand.

"What can we do to make Mommy happy again?"

Zander looked to Caylee and asked, "Do you know who the guy is?"

Caylee took out her phone and showed them a picture of Collin. "This is the bad man, Collin Riley. He's the founder of CR Corporation here in Grester and is a very powerful man. That's why Linsey couldn't fight back even though he bullied her."

Caylee carefully watched the children's expressions as she spoke. Both Zander and Zenia stared at the picture with what could be said to be anger.

Zander seemed angrier than his sister.
