Chapter 1349
Surprised to see her children’s reactions, Stella grew distressed. She had always assumed that she was enough for
Elias and Emma, that she could love them so much
that they would never feel the absence of their father.
But now, it seemed they were really curious about who their father was. Only now did she realize that they had
never asked her anything about their father, not because they did not care about him, but because they didn’t want
to hurt her.
After all, they must have noticed that everyone had a mommy and a daddy.
The light in her eyes dimmed. She had no idea what to say to them now.
Marcus sighed and began to explain to the children. “This man in front of you is your daddy, he’s…”
“Grandpa!” Roger suddenly cut him off, evidently disapproving of what Marcus was about to do.
He wondered how his grandfather could just blurt out something like that in front of the children. They did not even

truth!
“They’re almost four now,” Marcus reminded Roger in a
grave voice. “They’re at an age when they’re beginning to understand things. Now’s the perfect time to let them
know since it might be easier for them to accept the truth. Who knows, they might even forget in a few days and
start to enjoy their mommy and daddy’s company. If we keep hiding the truth from them, it might be harder for
them to accept once they get older…”
All this sounded very sensible, but the truth was that Marcus also had his selfish reason for revealing the truth.
He was well aware of Weston Ford’s strengths and talents during these three years–Weston’s wealth and influence
expanded steadily, and his empire had only been
growing. He even became a very powerful figure in the delta. In his hands, Ford Corporation spread its influence
across many different countries, making Weston Ford one of the most powerful men in the world.
Naturally, Marcus would love to get this man to work with the Garcias, as this would undoubtedly bring enormous
benefits to the family.
Besides, it looked like the man had genuine feelings for Stella, so as long as she was there, she could strengthen
ties between the Garcias and the Fords.
Elias and Emma were shocked. Their eyes widened to the size of saucers, and they stared silently at Marcus, unable
to react for a long time.
“I’m sorry,” Stella told them in a serious voice, kneeling
in front of them. “Mommy has not been honest with you. The truth is that this man here is your daddy…”
Elias was the first to react. He lightly shoved Stella’s hand away and cried, “I don’t believe you! Mommy would
never lie to me, so I’m sure you’re all joking, right?”
Stella’s heart was broken when she saw how her son reacted, but now that she had already told them the truth, she
could not possibly go back to lying anymore.
“I’m not lying to you,” she told Elias in a grave voice. ” He really is your daddy, but if you can’t accept this truth,
then we’ll…”

His response was surprisingly more dramatic than they expected. He pushed them all away and ran into his room.
They were all on the second floor then, and they watched as he flew up the stairs.
Stella’s heart dropped like a bag of rocks. It hurt just as much as being cut with a knife.
Only Emma was standing there silently, not reacting yet. She stared stiffly at her mother and then at her father. It
was much easier for her to accept the truth since she liked Weston in the first place, thanks to how handsome he
was.
“Daddy?” she cried, stretching out her arm.
Weston paused, immediately pulling her into his arms, his eyes reddening.
But his joy was quickly tempered by the memory of his son’s reaction, which had nearly smashed his heart into a
thousand broken pieces.
“Thank you for accepting me,” he whispered into Emma’s ear, patting her back gently.
But Emma gently pushed him away and turned towards the direction that Elias had run in. She put her thumb in her
mouth and asked, “What about Elias?”
“Elias is angry right now,” replied Stella. “Mommy’s going to try to cheer him up, so will you help me?”
“Sure!” Emma quickly put up her little hand and agreed.
