The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 211: Aiden and Sawyer ~ Jacob ~ It was hard to see his wife go through so much difficulty delivering the twins, but witnessing it himself made Jacob appreciate Soraya even more. Aiden Steel, weighing 5 pounds, was born at 12 PM earlier that day. Sawyer Steel, weighing 5.2 pounds, was born at 12: 20 PM. Both were healthy and could breathe on their own. He praised the heavens for that. The twins had rested on their mother's chest for a while, but afterward, they were transferred to Jacob for more kangaroo. care. With his chest bare, the twins lay on both sides of him.

Jacob held them carefully, kissing their heads now and then. He hadn't seen their eyes properly yet, but so far, the signs pointed to the possibility that the twins looked a lot like him. They both had dark hair, and while they were still babies, Jacob could already tell they had stronger features, unlike Soraya's angelic face. Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. His mother was taking multiple pictures of him, tears welling in her eyes. "Introducing the heirs of the Steel family,' Veronica quickly typed on her phone.

Clearly, Jacob's mother was either posting it on social media or sharing it with her friends. "Mom, | think you've taken enough photos and videos. Time ---- to go back to Angela," Jacob said. "Don't worry. Jaxon and the maids are home. She'll be fine, but you're right." Veronica beamed. "It's time for me to go." Then her eyes brightened as she looked at the sleeping Soraya. "Do you want to call Sage?" she suggested. Jacob thought about it. He and Sage hadn't formed a special bond of any kind.

When Sage was in Burnell, he had kept his distance to give Angela and Soraya space to reconnect with her. He sighed and said, "| suppose. We can call Amanda instead." It was already afternoon, and they knew Sage would be home. So, Veronica made the video call, and very quickly, Amanda answered. "Oh my god, my grandkids!" Amanda exclaimed. Jacob couldn't help but laugh. Because of how close Amanda and Soraya were, in their hearts, they were still mother and daughter. Hence, Jacob's kids were still Amanda's grandkids. "They're so handsome. | think they're going to look like Jacob.

Soraya has lighter hair," Amanda commented. "Have you shown the twins to Philip and Emily?" "Yes, Amanda. We called earlier when Ara was still awake," Jacob said, and Veronica panned the phone alittle to show Soraya still fast asleep. "Oh, my poor Soraya. She must be exhausted. Let her sleep. Tell her we're so happy she delivered safely,' Amanda said. "Actually, Amanda, we were wondering if we could talk to Sage too," Veronica suggested. "Let her see her brothers." ---- "That's a good idea," Amanda said, and on the video call, she seemed to be rushing toward where Sage was. "Sage! Sweetie!

Guess what? Your brothers are born. They're so cute!" Amanda positioned her phone so the camera faced Sage. Sage seemed to be drawing something on paper when she looked up. Her eyes went to the twins and then to Jacob. She smiled faintly and said, "Hello, Uncle Jacob." "Hi, Sage. How are you? Say hello to your brothers. Meet Aiden and Sawyer," Jacob said, smiling. It must have been because of the names that Sage's smile brightened. "Sawyer? Thank you for using my name suggestion, Uncle." "Of course. You're their elder sister, and we value your suggestion," Jacob said with a smile.

"By the way, Angela asked about you a few times." It was true. His daughter had genuinely wondered if he'd seen Sage while he was away. He regretted that he hadn't. Work had kept him too occupied to build that connection with Soraya's daughter. But now that Soraya and Sage had reconciled, and the two children were getting familiar with each other, he knew it was time for him to do the same. "Would you like to visit your brothers for a while? There's a holiday coming up, and you'll have a long weekend," Amanda suggested. Sage thought about it, then said, "Yeah, I'd like that.

| miss Mommy too." Before Jacob could react, he noticed Sage turning to the right. "Daddy's here," she murmured. ---- It didn't take long for Calum to stand behind Sage. Jacob watched as Calum stared at the twins for a moment longer. His expression showed a hint of pain, but he quickly swallowed it down and masked whatever he was feeling. "Congratulations, Jacob. You're a very lucky man," Calum said. Well, Jacob knew luck had little to do with ending up with a beautiful wife and twins.

But he didn't feel like rubbing salt in Calum's wounds, so he simply said, "Thank you, Calum." Calum excused himself from Sage, taking the phone and walking somewhere more private. "I can't go with Sage to Burnell, but Mom will. The verdict for the Rowans is out today. Every one of them pleaded guilty. Marvin was sentenced to twenty years. Roger got ten, and Aunt Camilla and Claire got one year for cooperating with the investigation. There's a mountain of work waiting for me and my dad, along with the lawyers, especially with the retrieval of funds." "Good. That's justice for you, Calum.

And | understand if you are not coming to Burnell. Do what you must," Jacob said. " How's your annulment going?" "We have a scheduled pre-trial meeting next week," Calum shared. "I'm hoping that with enough evidence in my hands, Rose will cooperate, because I'm tired of going to court. | don't want my life wasted, fighting battles this way." "Lwish you the best, my friend," Jacob said, and he noticed how Calum seemed surprised by his words. "I know things are difficult for you now, but on the bright side, you still have Sage. Life evens things out eventually.

I'm sure you'll find your share of peace too." Calum looked as if he were on the verge of tears, but he held ---- himself together. Instead, he massaged his temples. "Thank you, Jacob. Despite everything, thank you for helping me." Jacob just nodded. When the call ended, warmth spread through his chest. Jacob wasn't sure if broken friendships could ever truly mend, but Calum seemed to be changing, and that was enough for Jacob to believe that maybe, in time, things could be right again
