Chapter 1192: Chapter 1195: His Name is Noelle, Isaac Coldwell Chapter 1192: Chapter 1195: His Name is Noelle, Isaac Coldwell Lily turned to look at Erina, slightly perplexed.
Just now, amidst the chaotic crowd, it was the gentle Erina who quietly moved behind her and told her that calling Richard Coldwell could easily resolve the trouble they were facing, and the matter was swiftly settled.
But on reflection, Martha Barnes was Erina Coldwell, recognized by the military as Brigadier General Coldwell, and must have been acknowledged by Charles Coldwell and Richard Coldwell as one of Coldwell's family.
If she had stepped forward, she certainly could have dealt with that impostor who was using the Coldwell name for his own ends, the 'Benjamin Coldwell.'
But why then did Martha not intervene, instead choosing to hide in the crowd with the little boy?
Seeing the confusion in Lily's eyes, Erina smiled sweetly, “The real name of Benjamin Coldwell is Clark Barnes.”
Clark Barnes… Martha Barnes…
Lily's eyes widened in astonishment, “You and that person just now, you two are…?”
Erina's deep, radiant eyes dimmed for a moment, “Yes, we are siblings.”
“Erina, do you want me to let him go?” That was Lily's first reaction upon learning the truth.
“No.” Martha shook her head, “I…”
She suddenly paused and glanced at the little boy beside her, “Let's go sit over there and have the doctor treat the child first.”
Erina clearly had something to say to her, but it wasn't convenient with the child present.
“Alright, let's go over there.” Lily also saw the doctor approaching, so she took the three children to the sofa area prepared by the manager.
Erina followed with the little boy in tow.
Lulu, who had been quietly sobbing, immediately stopped crying when she saw the handsome little brother arrive, her tear-stained peachy eyes drying up.
Lulu decided to be brave and strong, to behave well and not let the little brother look down on her.
The doctor quickly administered the medication to Lulu, and Lily then had the two brothers stay with their sister.
Erina let the little boy she was with go to play, but he seemed to be rather shy. Although he obediently went over, he sat by himself in a corner and did not speak to the three adorable kids.
Lily noted briefly that the boy, though not having deep blue irises, definitely possessed a distinctly noble and striking appearance, strongly reminiscent of Richard Coldwell.
She couldn't help but ask, “Is this child your son?”
Erina smiled and did not answer directly, merely saying, “His name is Noelle, Isaac Coldwell. Your three treasures are very adorable as well.”
“The eldest is called Ben, and the two younger ones are fraternal twins, Abbie and Lulu.”
Lily introduced the three kids to Erina and really wanted to ask if the little boy was Erina and Richard Coldwell's child, but remembering how Richard felt about Martha,
If the child truly was Richard's son, he probably would have taken both mother and child back long ago.
Lily decided to subtly probe Richard about it when she found the time and changed the subject, “By the way, Erina, you said Clark is your brother, so how come he got mixed up with Hannah Ford? Hannah is someone from my past, she once took my place…”
Lily briefly recounted the grudge between herself and Hannah Ford.
“How strange,” Erina said after listening, a puzzled look on her face, “You said she's the young mistress of the Ford family, so why would she come to the Coldwells' to be an illegitimate daughter without any legitimate status?”
“I did hear recently that another illegitimate child came knocking. But both father and big brother have been busy and haven't had the time to meet.”
The father she referred to was Charles Coldwell, and the big brother was naturally Richard Coldwell.
“The circumstances of the Coldwell family are complicated, Lily. You wouldn't understand. However, I can assure you, that Hannah Ford who wronged you wouldn't easily get to see father or big brother. Even if she actually did manage to see them, she wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.”
Such individuals claiming to be illegitimate children of the family would pop up every few years.
It wasn't just Richard who disdained them; if Charles was in a good mood, he might give some money and send them away; if not, he might just have them killed and thrown into the moat surrounding the property.
Charles Coldwell was never known for being kind or soft-hearted.
