Chapter 245: There was a brief pause on the other end of the line. Then Connor's voice broke the silence. "Why?" Marissa answered honestly, "The DNA tests cback. The kids are Tiffany's. If we stay married, it will only bring you unnecessary trouble and complications. It would be better for us to divorce before this becomes public knowledge." Connor fell silent again. After a moment, he said, “But the paperwork lists you as my wife, not Tiffany." Marissa responded, "But now I have to continue pretending to be Tiffany," she explained. After a short pause, she added, "And I need to look after her kids temporarily. Until she comes back, I am essentially Tiffany. If we don't get a divorce, you'll be seen as someone who's been cheated on." "Then I'll announce a divorce from Tiffany. No need to make it official at the court," Connor retorted gVlnovlsis a world of wonder "Why not just make it official with the divorce papers?" Marissa questioned, clearly confused "We should have divorced a long tago!" Connor's voice was firm. "I've said it before, I won't sleep next to someone who isn't my wife." "And I told you last night, there's no need for you to sleep next toanymore," Marissa reminded him "Why?" he asked "Well..." Marissa let out an awkward laugh. "I have a new sleep aid." Connor's face darkened instantly, a wave of abandonment washing over him. His fears from the night before were confirmed. The village girl had no gratitude whatsoever. In his eyes, no one could be more heartless. When she needed him, she clung to him relentlessly. But as soon as she found no use for him, she discarded him without hesitation. All his acts of kindness had been in vain! She mentioned a new sleep aid. Who was this person? Was he more attractive, wealthier, and more considerate? Connor was brooding like a spurned lover, his heart brimming with bitterness and complaints, unseen by Marissa After her declaration, she proposed, "Connor, are you available today? If so, let's finalize the divorce. We can then take our texplaining to Grandma, helping her cto terms with the situation, and then we...” She was cut off abruptly as Connor said coldly, "I'm not available!" With that, he ended the call Marissa stared at her phone, perplexed and murmuring to herself, "It's okay if you aren't available. Why the hostility?" As she set her phone down, she noticed the two little ones had stirred awake "Mommy!" "Mommy!" Their sweet calls filled the air, their voices cheerful and their faces beaming with innocence. Marissa felt her heart soften immediately. She lifted them into her arms and planted a kiss on each of their foreheads. "Are you hungry?" she cooed The kids nodded their heads, their expressions adorable. "How about we visit your grandma's place for sfood?" Marissa suggested "Grandma?" Lindsay's eyes widened in astonishment. "Mommy, do we have a Grandma?"
"Yes," Marissa explained with patience. "Not only a grandma, but also a great-grandma, a granduncle, and a grandaunt, plus an uncle and an aunt. Our family is quite large." Lawrence clapped his tiny hands together, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Wow, I didn't realize we had so many relatives. I'm eager to meet everyone."
Gathering the children in her arms, Marissa declared, "Then let's not wait any longer!" Deciding to take the children back to the Sanchez family's house was a deliberate choice. As Tiffany's children, they too were part of the Sanchez lineage. Entrusting them to the Sanchez family whenever she was occupied provided Marissa with a sense of security. The presence of the children was bound to bring joy to her mother, Caylee, and perhaps even aid in her recovery
Since it was not yet safe for the children to be seen publicly, Marissa exited disguised herself and stealthily the hotel through the rear door with the two children in tow. Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Sanchez family's residence
