Triplet Mommy’s Triumphant Return by Quinn Hart

Chapter 12

Melanie went back to the Harbour Villa.

From a distance, Melanie saw Angie and the three kids watching her at the door.

Melanie and the three kids hadn’t seen each other for almost a month since she came back to Zerivia, so she missed them very much.

“Mommy!”

As soon as the kids saw Melanie, Ethan and Elias immediately shouted and rushed to hug her. Elias held Melanie’s neck and wouldn’t let go. There were still tears hanging on his eyelashes.

“Do you miss Mommy?” Melanie asked.

Melanie held Elias in her arms, kissed Ethan on the cheek, and then looked at Edward who kept quiet.

“We miss you, Mommy. Do you miss us, too?” Elias said happily.

“Yes, I do,” Melanie said.

Melanie kissed Elias again and again and coaxed him.

As soon as Melanie put Elias on the sofa, she saw Ethan holding a glass jar with a butterfly in it.

“Ethan, show me what you’re holding, Melanie said.

“Mommy, I’m waiting for the butterfly,” said Ethan.

“What? Are you waiting for the butterfly?” Melanie was curious.

“I locked up the butterfly. I am waiting for its mother, father, and brother to save it so that I can have many butterflies, Ethan explained.

Hearing this, Melanie suddenly felt that as a mother, she didn’t know how to respond to Ethan at this moment.

The three boys were different in personality, but they looked alike.

However, they didn’t seem to take after her.

Despite their tender age, their remarkable good looks outshone even those of child stars

Edward was introverted and serene, while Ethan was smart and had an outstanding memory.

Elias liked to adorable.

play computer and have candies. As endearing as a little doll, he was the most

Melanie really didn’t spend much effort taking care of the babies these years.

There were so many people on the island, and everyone liked the triplets. In the blink of an eye. they were all six years old.

Looking at Melanie in a daze, Ethan came forward and hugged her, asking. “Mommy, aren’t you. happy?”

Melanie torched his pretty face.

“I am happy. I just think the butterfly will be unhappy if it can’t see its mommy,” Melanie said.

Elias, who was eating candy seriously, suddenly said, “Daddy Butterfly will be unhappy too!”

“Maybe.”

Melanie was speechless when she heard her son’s serious words.

She came back in a hurry not to talk about butterflies.

“Mommy. I also want our daddy.” Elias finished eating the candy and clapped his hands.

“We can look for him when you grow up. Now go brush your teeth,” Melanie said. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Melanie frowned and handed Elias to Angie.

“I want him now!” Elias shouted.

He wriggled in Angie’s arms unhappily.

Melanie waved at Edward and beckoned him over.

“Didn’t I tell you to wait for your Great–Grandpa to end his cultivation? Why did you follow me here? There is no suitable tutor here to teach you,” Melanie said.

“Mommy, Great–Grandpa ended his cultivation as soon as you left,” Edward answered honestly.

It was Melanie’s turn to be surprised.

It would take at least a month for Zander to end his cultivation. Why did he end it as soon as Melanie left?

“Forget it. I’ll let Luke take you home after a few days of play,” said Melanie.

“Okay, Mommy.” Edward lowered his head in disappointment.

Seeing that Edward was unhappy, Melanic hugged him and kissed his cheek.

“I don’t have the energy to care about you here. When things are all settled, I will go back to accompany you every day,” Melanie explained.

“Honey, I love you. You are the most sensible boy. Please help Mommy take good care of your brothers,” Melanie said softly.

“Okay,” Edward replied.,

Melanic felt much relieved when Edward agreed to her request.

Of these three kids, Edward was the most sensible and reliable one.

At such a young age, Edward was precocious.

If it weren’t for his pretty little face, people would have mistaken him for a CEO.

After the three children calmed down, Angie inquired about the events of the previous evening.

Knowing that Melanie had fallen out with Steve, Angie got outraged.

“That’s good. You should have fallen out with him long ago. Your father has gone too far,” said Angie.

Melanie declared, “I’ve ended my relationship with him, and he will no longer be my father.”

“I hope you really could, Angie said and sighed.

“Anyway, it doesn’t make much difference whether he is your father or not, Angie added.

“He didn’t want me first,” Melanie said.

Melanie held her forehead and played with the necklace that had been torn off Vanessa’s neck.

Suddenly, Melanie found something wrong with the necklace.

“It’s strange. The gloss of the connector seems weird,” Melanie murmured.

Did Vanessa break the chain and replace it?

Then Melanie took a magnifying glass to observe the necklace connector.

She found a few small words carved on the necklace.

“Thousand Snow Mountains!” Angic and Melanie read the words out loud.

Both of them were a little surprised.

Angie took out her computer and entered “Thousand Snow Mountains” into the search engine.

“Got it!” After a while, Angie shouted.

“But there is a different word. I only got Thousand Snowy Mountains,” Angie added.

Melanie leaned closer to see the result.

Why would there be such a slight difference?

It didn’t seem to be a wrong name engraved into the necklace.

Melanie took a closer look at the materials of Thousand Snowy Mountains and found the introduction was very simple even without a picture.

According to the introduction, Thousand Snowy Mountains first appeared in a dynasty more than three thousand years ago.

The legend had that someone named Wael painted it, but hundreds of years ago the painting was destroyed in a fire.

It was strange that the name of something destroyed hundreds of years ago appeared on a modern necklace.

“Melanie, do you think Aunt Sherry has engraved the words on the necklace?” Angie said curiously.

“It’s possible. Mom was good at painting and carving. It was not difficult for her to do that,” Melanie

said.

But what exactly did the difference mean?

If it was Sherry who engraved the words, why would she engrave a wrong word?

If Sherry made the mistake on purpose, what did her action have to do with the long–gone painting?

Melanie frowned and pondered. The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt.

Angie didn’t take it seriously. She put the necklace around Melanie’s neck and massaged Melanie’s shoulders, saying, “Melanie, you may be thinking too much. It’s just a painting that no one has ever seen before. Maybe it has nothing to do with Aunt Sherry.”

That’s the only way to think about it,” Melanie said and nodded.

“By the way, is there any news from Eric?” Melanie asked.

Angie patted her forehead.

“Oh, I almost forgot. Eric called last night and said that he got the news about the red pearls!” Angie said excitedly.

“Tell me, who is it?” Melanie asked.

“He didn’t know who bought it, but it was bought by someone from Zerivia at a high price,” Angie replied.

Melanic glanced at Angie.

“That’s it?” Melanie said with disappointment.

“Well, at least it points us in a direction. Maybe the buyer has something to do with those who killed those gangsters, Angie said.

As she spoke, she picked up a bunch of grapes and ate them.

Hearing Angie’s words, Melanie said thoughtfully, “Do you mean Vanessa asked someone to set me. up and then let another group of people kill those gangsters and take away that string of red pearls?”

13:50 Sat, 2 Mar GFR.

“That’s right, Melanie. You said those people were from Solustria. Vanessa or her mother might have hired someone to kill them so that they wouldn’t be exposed afterward. So the killers might come from Zerivia. It makes sense,” Angie said.

“But Vanessa and Tracy couldn’t do that with their abilities. They couldn’t afford the string of red pearls,” Melanie said.

“What if Steve was also involved?” Angie asked.

Angie seemed to believe that Steve must have something to do with the whole thing.

Melanie was stunned.

“It shouldn’t be possible. I am his daughter. How could he do that to me?” Melanie said in disbelief.

Seeing Melanie’s pale face, Angie quickly changed the topic.

“That’s right. Maybe Vanessa and Tracy asked someone else for help,” said Angie.

“Maybe it was the Smith family. Tracy and Vanessa set me up because of my engagement to Ryan back then. Maybe there was something in between,” Melanie pondered and said.

“It is very likely. The Smith family could do it. According to the information, Owen Smith especially likes collecting such things,” Angie said.

As Angie spoke, she looked through the information.

“There is indeed a rumor. It seems that we need to meet Owen later,” said Melanie..

As soon as Melanie finished speaking, Angie smiled and handed over the phone.

“Jeff said your father came to Rising Star early this morning and said he wouldn’t leave until he saw you,” Angie said.

“Ask Jeff to send the work here. I won’t go to Rising Star today,” Melanie said.

Then Melanie began to check the information of the Smith family.

Soon Jeff arrived.

“Ms. Robertson, there is news that Vision Museum will collect an item at a high price in the upcoming spring auction,” reported Jeff.
