Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife

Chapter 342 - 341: I’m Sorry for Coming So Late

In the future, Ethan and the others will forget their life in the orphanage and start a new life.

Preschool, elementary school, junior high, high school, college... Falling in love, getting married, having children...

This is true happiness for Ethan and the others.

Bella suppressed the reluctance in her heart and asked, "Aunt Sienna, are both families adopting two children together, or are they adopting two children separately?"

"Separately." Aunt Sienna sighed and said, "Besides Ethan, the other four who are younger will be adopted by one family. They’re already home preparing the children’s rooms and will come to complete the adoption paperwork in a few days."

"I..." Bella was just about to say she’d come back for the adoption, but Aunt Sienna interrupted.

"You should focus on your work; don’t take time off to come back." Aunt Sienna said, "Watching is hard, and sometimes not watching is easier to bear."

These children came to the orphanage as infants, and they were raised bit by bit. Now, giving them to others is naturally difficult.

But the children cannot stay in the orphanage forever, even if she could earn money to send them to school, she can’t replace the love that parents give.

Bella believed that Aunt Sienna must have already checked on these two families, and the children won’t suffer going there.

"Okay." Bella was silent for a moment, then said, "Please call me on the day of the adoption."

"Mm, okay." Aunt Sienna nodded, "All the other children have been adopted, only Ethan is left. Ethan is a bit older and can already remember things, which makes many families unwilling to adopt, fearing they won’t bond. But don’t worry, I will surely find a good family for Ethan."

"It’s fine, if no one adopts Ethan, we can just keep him with us." Bella laughed.

"It’s still not ideal." Aunt Sienna shook her head, "Children should grow up in a complete family; it’s better for them."

Of course, Bella understood this truth, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so reluctant to have the children adopted.

Both remained silent, and after a while, they sighed together.

Afterwards, they didn’t speak again; Bella wiped the headstone while Aunt Sienna rested beside her. When Bella finished wiping it clean, Aunt Sienna grabbed her hand and they knelt before the headstone.

Aunt Sienna said, "Mr. Rhodes, Mrs. Locke, I’ve brought Bella to see you. She’s doing great; she’s been sensible and obedient since she was little, never making us worry. You have a wonderful daughter."

"Dad, Mom." Bella hadn’t expected to cry as soon as she spoke. It’s as if there’s a bloodline-connected emotion that strikes the heart even without memories of interaction.

Tears welled up, and Bella pressed her lips tightly and waited for her emotions to settle a bit, then continued, "Dad, Mom, I’m sorry I misunderstood you before. I always thought you abandoned me because you didn’t love me. It’s only now I’ve come to know the truth. I’m sorry to visit you this late."

Many things in this world can be replaced, but blood-connected family ties remain closely linked no matter what.

Bella wiped the tears from her face, forced a smile, and said, "Dad, so your name was Ronan Rhodes, quite handsome. Mom’s name is beautiful too, Laura Locke. Laura Locke. Such a lovely name and even more beautiful person, but unfortunately, I don’t seem to have inherited any of your good genes."
