In the following two days, Deanna stayed home to rest.
During this time, people came to visit her, but she refused them all.
Although she appeared no different from usual, she had not yet recovered from the incident in which the old lady returned kindness with ingratitude..
She wasn't an extremely kind and unselfish person, and could not remain indifferent and act as if nothing had happened.
As a result, she had been feeling unwell during this period, lacking energy and vitality.
The only times she seemed spirited were when Lance came to visit.
And the two little ones noticed this and were very worried.
They didn't know what to do, so they secretly sought help from their Godmother.
On this day, Julia came to visit Deanna and was later mysteriously pulled into the children's room by the two little ones.
"What's going on?" Julia asked curiously, looking at the two little ones.
The two little ones explained the problem they had noticed recently. "Mommy has been feeling down lately, but she seems happier when Uncle Lance is around. However, most of the time, Mommy lacks energy. Godmother, do you have any ideas to make Mommy happy?"
"In that case, let Lance take your mommy out to play or travel. It's also an opportunity for them to bond and maybe even deepen their relationship," Julia suggested without hesitation.
But the two little ones hesitated, especially Gregory, who furrowed his small eyebrows.
Seeing their expressions, Julia couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Gregory and Chloe, what's wrong with you? Don't you like Lance anymore?" she asked. It was understandable since they had previously wanted to match their Mommy with Lance. Now they seemed hesitant about it, which was abnormal.
Chloe pouted and said in a low voice, "We like Uncle Lance, but Uncle Lance's family doesn't like us."
Hearing this, Julia sensed that something was wrong.
What did she mean by Uncle Lance's family not liking them?
She clearly saw that Mr. Mercer doted on these two children.
Wait a minute, family...
"Gregory and Chloe, has something happened? Tell me everything, and I'll help you come up with a solution," Julia said, pulling them to sit by the bed.
The two little ones didn't hold back and explained what had happened when they met the Mercer family elders.
After hearing their story, Julia felt sorry for them.
At the same time, she was also displeased with the Mercer family elders whom she had never met.
No matter what, they shouldn't have said those things in front of the children.
The only thing that comforted her was that Mr. Mercer didn't neglect the two children and Deanna because of the elders' attitude. It seemed that he was serious about Deanna.
Thinking of this and seeing the sad expressions on the two little ones' faces, she gently rubbed their heads and reassured them, "I don't think you need to worry about this matter at all. Since Lance hasn't distanced himself from you and your Mommy, it means he is serious. Don't overthink it. Just let things happen naturally. As for Lance's family, it's not our concern."
"If Lance truly wants to be with your Mommy, he will find a way to resolve these issues."
Upon hearing these words, the two little ones found some sense in them and finally let go of their worries.
Chloe couldn't help but brighten up her eyes and said, "Then can we ask Uncle to take us out to play?"
"Yes, but we need to plan it carefully so that your Mommy doesn't suspect anything," Julia said as she pinched Chloe's cheek playfully.
And so, the three of them plotted in the room.
At the same time, Lance finished dealing with work matters and prepared to visit Deanna.
But as soon as he got into the car, he received a call from his mother.
"Come back to the mansion for dinner tonight. It's been a while since you've been home with me and your father."
"I understand," Lance couldn't refuse and could only agree.
After hanging up the phone, he instructed Xavier to change the route. "Go back to the mansion."
Xavier nodded and changed direction accordingly.
Before long, Lance arrived at the old house.
After some simple greetings among family members, they went to the dining room to have dinner.
During the meal, Samantha brought up the reason for calling Lance back tonight.
"Your father and I have discussed it. Since you don't like Bella from the Cody family, we won't force you. But Dr. Deanna is absolutely not acceptable. So we've come up with a plan. Starting tomorrow, we'll help you arrange meetings with other heiresses from Cloudmere. You can get to know them."
"With so many heiresses for you to choose from, you can't possibly dislike all of them," Logan added in a serious tone.
Lance's face immediately turned cold, his eyebrows furrowing tightly. "So this is why you called me back?"
"That's right. I've already arranged for you to meet one of the heiresses from the Chan family tomorrow night," Samantha admitted without denying it and revealed tomorrow's plan.
Lance directly refused, "I'm busy tomorrow."
But before he finished speaking, Logan exposed him. "Don't say you're busy. I asked your assistant, and you have no engagements tomorrow night!"
Lance tightened his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "I don't have any engagements tomorrow night, but I have a therapy session."
