Chapter 161 The Only Son of the Keaton Family
“Hello,” Savion answered the phone quickly.
“Savion, this is Julianna. Can I speak to Grandma, please?”
“Please wait a moment.”
“Mrs. Keaton, it’s Ms. Reece.” Savion handed Melina the phone while she was having her
physiotherapy.
“What’s the matter?” Melina said as she took the phone. “Hello, Julie.”
Julianna hesitated for a few seconds and said bluntly, “Grandma, I… want to bring the children back.”
“They are fine here. You don’t have to worry.”
“Grandma, I heard that you want to change their surname. Is that true?” Julianna asked tentatively.
“It’s true. After all, they are from the Keaton family. How can we let them have the surname Reece?”
“Grandma, I want to bring the children back. As for changing their surname, we can talk about it
later…”
Before Julianna could finish her words, Melina directly refused, “That’s impossible. They are from the
Keaton family. I can’t let them live outside.”
“Grandma, they are my children.”
“Julianna, thank you very much for giving birth to the three children of the Keaton family.
“There are not many members in our family. Now that we have these three children, they are the future
of our family.
“Although you are excellent, you lack experience in educating children. If the children stay in the
Keaton’s house, we can provide the best environment for them to grow.”
When Julianna heard this, she became even more anxious. “Grandma, you can’t do this. No matter
what, the three children are
mine.
“I will educate them well. You don’t have to worry about this. If you want to see the children, I will ask
them to see you at any
time.
“But you can’t keep them in the Keaton’s house for a long period, and you can’t change their surname
either.”
Melina said with a hint of contempt over the phone, “Julie, I admit that you are their mother. You can
also come to the
Keaton’s house to visit the children at any time.
“However, the children can not stay with you. They are the future heirs of the Keaton family. If the
children stay in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeaton’s house, we can provide the best environment for them to grow.”
“Grandma, you can’t make such a decision…”
Before Julianna could finish, Melina interrupted her, “I’m going to have physiotherapy now. Let’s drop
this subject.
“Regarding the children, if you don’t agree, you can find a lawyer to discuss it with me.”
Melina made it clear on the phone that no matter what, she had to keep the children in the Keaton’s
house.
“Hello, hello,” Julianna shouted anxiously.
Melina directly hung up the phone.
Julianna was a little stunned.
She had never expected that Melina would do such a thing.
Melina had always been decisive and resolute. It was difficult for others to change her mind after she
made a decision.
Now, Julianna had no choice but to discuss it with Edwin.
Julianna hurriedly entered the ward and stared at Edwin with red eyes. “Edwin…”
“What happened?” Edwin froze and quickly stood up.
“Grandma wants to keep the children in the Keaton’s house and also wants to change their surname.”
Hearing that, Edwin rolled his eyes. They were his children. Sooner or later, they would have to rename
it back to Keaton.
However, Edwin knew that Julianna was stubborn and could not force her. He had to convince Julianna
bit by bit.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Edwin’s tone was gentle and his expression was as calm as he
could.
Julianna’s heart sank. She said angrily, “They are my children. How can she change the surname of my
children without my permission?
“I was kind enough to let the children get close to Grandma because she is old.
“But it doesn’t mean that I gave the children to the Keaton family. How can she change my children’s
surname?”
Seeing that Julianna was agitated, Edwin spread out his arms and tried to hug her. “Julianna, calm
down. I’ll go back and ask
Grandma about the situation.”
Julianna took a step back to avoid Edwin’s embrace. Her eyes were red.
In these four years, who knew how much she had suffered?
How could the Keaton family take her children from her like this?
“Edwin, you can’t take my children from me. They are as precious as my life. If anyone dares to take
my children from me, I will fight him to the death.”
Edwin took a few steps closer. He gently and forcefully hugged Julianna and comforted her, “I know.
Don’t be so angry.
“Grandma probably likes the children so much that she made this decision. No matter what, Grandma
won’t hurt them.”
“But her actions have hurt me,” Julianna said, unable to control her emotions.
“Julianna, don’t worry. I’ll go back and persuade Grandma.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let Grandma do this.
“No matter what, I won’t separate you from the children,” Edwin comforted Julianna while he had
another plan in mind.
When Julianna heard this, she looked at Edwin doubtfully.
“Really? Don’t lie to me. I hate it the most when others lie to me.”
With a faint smile on his face, Edwin said in a coaxing tone, “Silly girl, how can I lie to you?
“You are the children’s mother and the closest and most important person to them. How can I bear to
separate you and the children?”
In fact, Edwin wanted Julianna to live in the Keaton’s house as well, not for Julianna to take the
children away from the
Keaton’s house.
Hearing this, Julianna calmed down a little.
Now, she did not dare to argue with Edwin. She still had to wait for him to donate his bone marrow to
save Ann.
After Ann was done with the operation, Julianna could think of a way to get the children back.
“Be good. Don’t think too much. Ann’s illness is the most important thing now,” Edwin gently hugged
Julianna and comforted her gently.
Beep… Beep…
Edwin’s phone rang again.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from his grandma.
“Julie, I need to pick up a call.”
“Alright.”
Edwin lightly kissed her forehead and walked out of the ward.
“Hello, Grandma.”
“Edwin.”
“What is it, Grandma?”
“Come home tonight. I have something to talk to you about.”
Edwin frowned slightly when he heard that. “Alright. I also have something to talk to you about.”
“Well, come back early tonight.”
“Okay.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was six o’clock in the evening.
Edwin returned to the Keaton’s house punctually.
“Grandma, I’m back”
“Edwin, you’re back.” Melina sat in her wheelchair, her face slightly rosy.
It looked like she was energetic.
Edwin looked around the living room and did not see the two children. He asked doubtfully, “Grandma,
where are the
children?”
“They’re upstairs. I’ve asked Savion to take care of them.”
Edwin paused for a moment, then said with a smile, “Grandma, I heard that you want to change the
surname of the children?”
“Yes, they are the descendants of the Keaton family. They must have the surname Keaton.”
When Edwin heard this, he sat down beside Melina and held her hand. “Grandma, they are the children
of the Keaton family.
“But Julianna has always been the one taking care of them and raising them..
“Before doing this, should we discuss it with Julianna?
“Now that you suddenly made this decision, she could not accept it for the time being.”
When Melina heard this, she said angrily, “She has no choice but to accept.
“She was lucky enough to give birth to the children. It’s been four years, but she still refused to let the
children return to the Keaton family. She even kept hiding the truth and almost made me regret it for the
rest of my life.
“Because of this, I am very angry. It is impossible to let her continue to raise the children.”
After Melina finished speaking, she was so angry that she kept coughing.
Edwin patted Melina’s back gently to calm her down. Then he continued, “Grandma, no matter what,
you have to respect her. Let me talk to her about this bit by bit.”
“Edwin, you don’t have to worry about this matter. Let me handle it.
“If she has any complaints, let her negotiate with me in person.”
Edwin frowned when he heard this.
Melina was aggressive when she was young, and when she got older, it was inevitable that she would
be more stubborn.
If it was anything else, Edwin would probably be able to convince her, but regarding the Keaton family’s
descendants, Melina would not give in.
Edwin was the only son in the Keaton family, and his father died young. Therefore, Melina wanted
Edwin to make the Keaton family thrive.
Now that Melina finally had two great–grandsons. She treated them as the apple of her eye. How could
she allow anyone to take them away?
With a sigh, Edwin did not dare to persuade Melina anymore.
Melina was not in good health, so he could not go against her wishes.
