A Billionaire Abandoned His Wife — Ten Years Later, He Saw Her on a Plane With Twin Daughters
Chapter 9
Elena didn’t celebrate.
She didn’t want revenge.
She only wanted the girls safe.
Adrian understood.
He sold several luxury properties to establish a trust for them.
Elena refused.
“I don’t need your money.”
“It’s not for you.”
“Then who?”
“The girls.”
She hesitated.
“This is their future.”
He nodded.
“Exactly.”
She agreed to the trust.
But with one condition.
She would control the funds.
Adrian agreed immediately.
That made her trust him a little more.
The girls began spending weekends with Adrian.
At first, they were nervous.
Then they became comfortable.
He learned how Mia liked pancakes shaped like stars.
Ava wanted to teach him chess.
He lost every game.
“You’re terrible,” she said.
“I’m learning.”
“Again.”
He smiled.
“Again.”
Elena watched from the kitchen.
She saw something she had never expected.
Adrian wasn’t trying to buy his daughters’ affection.
He was learning how to be their father.
Slowly.
Awkwardly.
Honestly.
And somehow, that was healing something inside her too.
