I Asked for a Baby Six Years and He Gave Her Two Instead Chapter 05
The snacks fell from Ethan’s hands, scatteringÂ
across the floor. He stood frozen in the doorway.Â
“What are you doing here?”Â
Chloe turned to me in confusion,Â
“What are you talking about? Who are you calling?”Â
I stood smiling in the living room, fixing my gazeÂ
on Ethan.Â
Chloe rushed over and pushed me,Â
“Who are you! What do you really want?”Â
I pushed her back easily, my voice dripping withÂ
mockery. “I’m Elena. Your sister–in–law.”Â
“You and your kids have been living off me, using everything that’s mine–how could you notÂ
recognize me?”Â
I glanced up at Ethan sneeringly,Â
“Isn’t that right, brother?”Â
Ethan stepped forward quickly,Â
“…”Â
I waved a hand, sitting down on the sofa like IÂ
owned the place, “Come in and talk.”Â
Mrs. Bennett also stood stunned, staring at theÂ
chaos,Â
“Ethan, what’s going on here?”Â
Ethan remained rooted to the spot, his faceÂ
darkening.Â
I couldn’t help but laugh at his expression, “Come here, brother. Introduce me to them properly.”Â
At that, Mr. Bennett forced a smile,Â
“So you’re Ethan’s sister. We’ve truly benefited. from you all these years–your nephew and niece wouldn’t have their government benefits withoutÂ
you.”Â
His words made Ethan’s expression even moreÂ
grim.Â
Chloe stood frozen, her smile rigid,Â
“Zoe… you, you’re not dead…”Â
I smiled,Â
“I could be, couldn’t I, brother?”Â
“My life or death hangs on your word, doesn’t it?”Â
Tension thickened in the air.Â
Veins bulged on Ethan’s forehead,Â
“That’s enough.”Â
“Stop talking!”Â
My voice sharpened,Â
“Enough?”Â
“How could it be enough?”Â
“Ethan, dare you tell everyone what you’ve done!”Â
“Tell your beloved family who I really am–andÂ
what kind of disgusting liar you are!”Â
I sat on the sofa, my fingers clenched white, myÂ
body trembling slightly.Â
Chloe’s eyes turned red,Â
“Honey, what’s really going on? Why isn’t ElenaÂ
dead? Who is she!”Â
“Ethan, say something.” Mrs. Bennett steppedÂ
forward, tugging at his arm. “Just explain. We’reÂ
family.”Â
I said flatly, “He’s family with you. I’m not.”Â
Mr. Bennett sat in his chair, gazing at me solemnly.Â
I spoke calmly, my voice soft but clear,Â
“That’s right, husband. Why don’t you tell them?”Â
At that address, everyone’s faces filled with shock.Â
Tears streamed down Chloe’s face. She grabbedÂ
fistfuls of Ethan’s shirt.Â
“Why… why is she calling you that?”Â
“What is happening?”Â
Ethan took a step forward, looking exhausted,Â
“Elena, let’s drop this.”Â
“Don’t make a scene here. Let’s talk outside.”Â
I bowed my head, holding back the tightness in myÂ
throat,Â
“My voice trembling, “A scene? I traveled all thisÂ
way to surprise you, only to get the biggestÂ
surprise of my life. And now you want me to dropÂ
it? To stop making a scene?”Â
“Tell your family right now–who am I!”Â
When he stayed silent, I glanced around the room,Â
“Should I get our marriage certificate to show your new family?”Â
Chloe stumbled backward, tears pouring harder,Â
“Is she the reason you never married me officially?”Â
Seeing her pain, a flicker of regret crossed Ethan’s face.Â
He turned to pull Chloe into his arms,Â
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll never leave you.”Â
Then he looked at me over her head, hisÂ
expression pleading.,Â
“Elena, please. Stop this. I’m begging you.”
