🏵️ CHAPTER 30 🏵️ Little Ava was being bullied and laughed at by her female classmates. It was break time and the little girl had gone to the bathroom to relieve herself but on stepping out she was surrounded by six of her classmates. The little girl wasn't given a chance to say a word when she was pushed to the ground. She landed hard on her butt and let out a wince. Looking up and seeing Kimberly along with the girls, fear engulfed her. " What do you want? " The little girl muttered with trembling lips. " Oh, are you hurt? Do want to cry? Or should I call your daddy for you? " Kimberly ridiculed with a disdained look. " Oh, looks like I forgot. You're a bastard! " The little girl snapped. " Do you know what I just found out? " She turned to her other accomplices who nodded negatively, their eyes shining in expectation of what Kimberly wanted to say. " I just found out that Ava and her siblings don't have a father. I learned from a movie that someone without a father is a bast
🏵️ CHAPTER 31 🏵️ After sending his warning to Mr. Rivers, Denzel left the office of the middle-aged man who was still shivering his fear. He met the quadruplets who were still waiting for him. Evans and Aida couldn't stop staring at the handsome man who looked like them. Little Ava and Ryan ran and hugged him in the leg. " You came " The little girl mumbled. The bodyguards with Denzel made to step forward and pull the kids away from him but Denzel signaled them to stop. " Wait for me outside " The bodyguards bowed at his command and left. Denzel squatted to their level with a faint smile. Before he could say anything, the little girl hugged him. The cold man froze for a moment. His heart gradually started thumping and a weird calm feeling washed through him at the feeling of Ava's body pressed to his. It was a familiar feeling, one that felt as though there was something that connected him with Ava. Like he knew who these kids were. " Mr. Brenton, how did you know our school? "
🏵️ CHAPTER 32 🏵️ " You're our mommy's strict and evil boss! The one who didn't let her come back to us for two days straight and the one who made her not come pick us up that other day! " Little Ava had just fired and pointed accusation fingers at Denzel who frowned in confusion. " Huh? Me?! " He gaped at the little girl he was carrying. A gasp left Evans, Aida, and Ryan's lips. " You're our mommy's boss?! " " I am but..." " You're a bad man! Put me down " " So you took us out so you can bribe us with treats, huh? So we can forget about protecting our mommy from you, is that it? " " No, he did it so we can choose him over our mommy! " " What?! " Denzel was being attacked by the kids without being given a chance to defend himself. " Listen, Mr. Brendon, no matter what you do, we can never choose you over our mommy and you can't bribe us! Because we will make you pay for giving our mommy a hard time " " Woah, woah, calm down kids " Denzel got to his car and placed Ava on i
🏵️ CHAPTER 33 🏵️ Weeks flew by really fast and things both at home and in the office were going fine for Lena. She, Aria, and of course Susanna become pretty close. During break or after work, the three go out for lunch or dinner and have some girls' talk. And as for Denzel, things had become pretty hot between him and Lena. The cold man has been trying hard to fulfill the deal between him and the quadruplets. He was trying to be a little bit nice to Lena without being really nice to her. Most time whenever he noticed that Lena was getting exhausted due to too much work, he would either order food for everyone just so she can eat or order a treat specifically for her with the identity of a secret admirer. And if Lena was going to work overnight and he was less busy, he would leave and pick up the kids from school and then run overnight just so he can keep an eye on Lena. Whenever she falls asleep during work at his Paint House, he would order Roxy to carry her to his bed and al
🏵️ CHAPTER 34 🏵️ Lena was about to enter her office, chuckling to herself because of what Aria said. Well, not until she was asked not to move by a certain someone, and a gun was pointed right at the back of her head. Lena froze on the spot in shock and didn't even move a finger. The cup in her hand fell to the floor and shattered into a million pieces. She was still trying to digest the fact that she was held at gunpoint when the person circled his arms around her neck and gripped her tight, now pointing the gun at her temple. Lena's eyes widened in horror and her heart digested into her stomach in fear because of what the person holding her said. " Now, you better do whatever I ask you to if you don't want me to render your quadruplets orphans " It was then Lena's fear tripled. She recognized the voice of the man holding her and was shocked that he knew about her babies. " J... Jeremy? " A smirk drew up the man's lips. " So you recognize me without even seeing my face, h
🏵️ CHAPTER 35 🏵️ Still at the office. Everyone watched in fear as Lena was still held at gunpoint. " How old are you, Jeremy? " Everyone was surprised at Denzel's question. Even Jeremy was confused. " Wh...why are you asking me that... in such a serious situation? " " Hmm. Based on your profile, you're probably 35, right? " " What is this man doing? " Aria mumbled to Susanna who was only gaping at Denzel. " Yeah and so? " " Which means you're old enough to be married and if possible, have probably two kids, am I right? " " And so what?! " " Then, why are you whining like a child who has been denied his favorite toy? What's the difference between you and your two-year-old son? " " I'm whining? You call this whining? After what the both of you did to me?! " " What did we do to you? " The cold man raised a brow at Jeremy. " You two ruined my life! How can you fire a man who has a family to take care of? How did you expect me to take care of my two sons and wife, huh?! "
🏵️ CHAPTER 36 🏵️ Lena went to the Paint house but didn't see Denzel. Roxy informed her that he hadn't come to the Paint House yet, at least not since this morning. Having no other option, the short woman headed to his main house. It was a huge mansion that was heavily guarded. The short woman wasn't allowed in at first. Not until the cold man was informed about a visitor and he ordered the guards to let her pass. Lena's jaw dropped to the floor at how ecstatic the mansion was. Looking around, there was not a single soul in sight. No cooks, cleaners, or maids. Only well built robots, that looked exactly like Roxy, doing the household labor. The cold man was living in total solitude. " Welcome, Miss. My name is 0079. How can I be of help to you, please? " One of the robots approached, flashing Lena a wholesome robotic smile. " Erm, I'm here to see, Mr. Brenton " " Oh, Master is in his study room and doesn't like to be disturbed " " If you won't mind coming back later " Just t
🏵️ CHAPTER 37 🏵️ " Just so I will remind you..." " You won't be able to walk, Lena " Lena's eyes widened and she jerked off Denzel's laps, chuckling nervously. " Hehe. Since I'm here, why don't I help you out with anything you want, Sir? That's what I meant. Not that... side you're thinking of " She mumbled the last part but the cold man heard it. " What side? What were you thinking I meant? Where did your mind wander off to? " He raised a brow at the short woman. " Nowhere! My mind was right here. Secured in my head " She tapped her head confidently. Denzel snorted. This woman was stupid. She puts literal meaning to everything he says. " So..." " How about I cook something for you to eat? You probably need to eat breakfast and who knows, take your medicine, right? " " That's the work of the robots " Denzel rolled his eyes. " Then, I will go supervise them to make sure your breakfast is perfectly cooked " " They cook way better than you would ever " The cold man hissed.
