Chapter 6. Nathan And Raylene

Elle was now sitting in Archie's car, the scenery outside the window on the right and left quickly passed by, my heart was still in disarray.

Galant's last words in the basement "Eleonora ... let's take it slow" and just passed by, I didn't understand what he meant, but his smile when he said those words was like a mouse that caught its prey, but didn't eat it right away.

What was he really going to do ....

Elle frowned, squeezing her hands tightly, the fear in her heart grew.

"Let's get off."

Hearing Archie's words, Elle was silent for a moment. When she raised her head, it turned out that the car had stopped in front of her house. Elle was still awkwardly silent, all along the way her heart felt chaotic, really not caring about Archie.

"Archie, I ...."

Archie smiled. "I understand, no need to explain. Now sleep well, it is likely that Galant will do something else in the next few days," Archie said in a voice that sounded very soft while holding Elle's hand.

For a moment, Elle's restless heart felt comfort. However, a few seconds later Elle said anxiously, "Does he know that I have given birth to two children? Will he take my children?"

That was what Elle was most worried about. Galant knew where she worked, it would be unreasonable if he didn't know that she had given birth, but today she had met him twice and Galant didn't mention the matter at all. Elle really didn't understand what Galant's appearance meant.

Archie who was staring at Elle slowly took a deep breath, he unbuckled his seatbelt and approached Elle, then hugged her. "Don't worry, I will definitely help you."

But Archie's words did not reduce Elle's worries at all. Elle tightly gripped her clothes and said softly, "He... already knows, right?"

Archie nodded his head. "The matter of you being pregnant must be easy to find out. With the power he has, he can find out everywhere including the company and definitely knows that you have just finished maternity leave."

Elle's heart was broken, even though she had guessed it, but Archie's words that were the same as her prediction made Elle feel that even the slightest hope was now destroyed.

"How is this ...," said Elle who was currently about to cry.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. You are the mother of your children," said Archie who wanted to calm Elle down.

"But he is also the father of my children!" Elle cut off Archie's words quickly. No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, it was a reality that couldn't be changed.

"Galant has great power. His family is also very powerful, if he wants to seize custody, can I beat him?"

Archie's face showed a slightly unusual expression, but he quickly returned to normal.

"He is the father of your children and that is true, but you are also their mother. Right now they have just been born and still need breast milk for a long time. During that time everyone also knows that the two children need attention from their mother.

You don't need to worry about Galant who has a strong background. Although you can't beat his money, but you still have a job so you can guarantee the lives of your children. And also you are an educated person, your school and work achievements are all very good so the court has no reason not to believe that you are more suitable to take care of the children."

Listening to Archie's explanation, Elle's heart smiled and felt happy. "Really?"

"Yes." Archie nodded his head while gently stroking Elle's face, then he smiled and continued his words, "Besides, isn't there still me? We can give the children a complete family and also my ability to earn money is not bad so Galant won't be able to take the children just like that."

Elle lowered her gaze, the meaning of Archie's words was very clear, making her unable to answer. However, based on Archie's analysis earlier, Elle became calmer.

Elle promised in her heart, no matter what she would not let Galant take her two children away.

After the conversation in the car, Elle and Archie got out of the car, then stepped into the house. Just as they entered, the sound of a baby crying was heard. Elle's heart immediately became chaotic and she immediately stepped quickly inside.

The aunt who helped Elle after giving birth was seen carrying her older sibling. "You must miss Mama, even though you've been given formula milk, you're still crying," said the aunt who saw Elle's arrival.

Elle immediately changed clothes and washed her hands, then took her baby from her aunt's arms and rocked him in her arms. The baby seemed to feel the presence of his mother so it didn't take long for him to stop crying. Archie, who had also washed his hands, took his little brother and carried him in his arms.

His face was smiling, his expression looked very gentle, his strong and powerful arm was carrying the child, the other hand was holding a baby rattle and shaking it, this scene looked very warm.

When feeling the warmth of the atmosphere, Elle's heart suddenly felt a little scared again and at that time Elle felt a little gloomy.

Elle stared blankly at Archie who was holding one of his children. She could see that Archie was very good to both of his children, Elle also really believed that he would be a good father.

"Have you thought about the children's names?"

Elle's daydream was brought back to her senses after hearing Archie's voice. She wet her lips, then nodded, "The older brother is Nathan and the younger sister is Raylene, what do you think?"

"Nathan, Raylene ...." Archie softly said the names of Elle's two babies, then his face smiled widely. "Yes, good."

Then suddenly Archie looked at Elle, "Then the family name? Has it been decided?"

Elle was silent and bit her lip, unable to say a word. Her two children had been born a month ago, but until now their names had not been decided, the crux of the problem was because she was hesitant about the family name.

They were Galant's children. The fact about that could not be denied, but now she had divorced him. These two children, Elle did not know whether to use the Galant family name? Because Elle was always worried that one day Galant would come back to find her and use various means to forcefully take the children from her.

If her two children returned to the Devereux family home, they would definitely not let their surname be Esmond—Elle’s last name. Elle actually didn’t care much about this surname, but many people said that if the child didn’t follow the father’s surname, then the father’s family wouldn’t be close to the children.

Moreover, Elle was also worried that when Galant returned and the children were adults, at that time they would have to change their surnames, she was afraid that it would be difficult and they wouldn’t be able to protect the children’s feelings.

Maybe Elle was thinking too much, but she still couldn’t help but care about it.

“It’s better not to think about it for now, besides having to go back to the home country to take care of the family card is also not easy,” Elle said. She sighed and didn’t want to continue this conversation.

Elle’s two children were born abroad, having to go back to the home country and take care of the family card was also very troublesome. For now, Elle allowed herself to be a coward. And she actually had other thoughts, now that Galant had come, sooner or later they would talk about the children.

Or....

Should we find an opportunity to talk about it with Galant later?
