🏵️ CHAPTER 62 🏵️ It was later that same day. Lena and the kids had left to explore more of the beautiful island and its landscape. Denzel on the other hand had called down Gavin and the both of them were drinking, seated by the winery. The silence between them was already killing Gavin and all he was praying was for Denzel to say something. Finally, the cold man spoke up. " What brings you here, Gavin? " " Finally! " The young man blurted. " The silence was already killing me. Jeez, dude, drinking with you is so boring. I should have joined your wife and kids instead " Only one glare from Denzel was enough. Gavin let out a slight cough and gulped down the remaining wine in his glass. " Well, I came to check on you. That's not a crime, right? " " Out of a blue? " Denzel raised a brow at him making Gavin scoff. " Yeah, so? It's been long since we saw or spent time with each other. Did you even miss me at all? " " Enough of playing around, Gavin, and tell me why you're here

But the quadruplets were also sad when Denzel told them they were going to change schools. They didn't want to change schools, especially not Ava but they didn't want to disobey their father. " So which means, we won't be seeing you guys again after today? But...why? Why are you guys changing schools? " Lucas inquired with a sad pout. He, Ava, Aida, and Kelly were at their school playground. The quadruplets had visited their school for the last time to bid a proper goodbye to their friends. " Our Daddy wants us to change schools. He wants to take us to a better school " Ava replied. " Well, that's too bad " Kelly mumbled sadly. Aida saw how sad they all were and decided to cheer them up. " It's not that bad. We might not be seeing each other in school but we can still keep in touc
🏵️ CHAPTER 64 🏵️ "Before I say or do something worse, for the last time, Lena, get... the... fuck... OUT!" Lena stared at Denzel, who wasn't even sparing her a glance, with faint tears in her eyes. She bit her lips and swallowed back the painful lump in her throat. Without uttering any other word, she turn and left the study room. The closing of the door made Denzel let out a sad breath. He rested his head on the chair and closed her eyes, letting out a groan. It was happening again! Every time, by this period of the year, the cold man finds it very difficult to make it past each day. He finds it close to impossible to be happy and calm. This time of the year has always been the hardest for him to make it through because each passing day, reminded him of the two failures in his life. Every time, by this period, he tends to push away those very close and dear to him because to him, they didn't deserve to deal with his useless emotional distress, as he would always call it. And

May I know if you little ones know who she is “The quadruple’s mind wasn’t even on what the
🏵️ CHAPTER 66 🏵️ After spending some time with the kids at their grandmother’s place and helping them familiarize themselves with Mrs. Brenton, Lena headed back home. The short woman let out a sad sigh as she stepped into the house. She was worried. It is true that the kids will be staying with Mrs. Brenton and Lena was sure the old woman could take care of them. Yet, she couldn’t help but worry. She was going to stay away from the kids again and this time around, she wasn’t sure for how long they were going to be away from her.

After what seemed like an eternity, the cold man finally returned, drunk and wreaking of alcohol. Lena tried offering her help but the cold man ended up getting agitated. “ Why won’t you just fucking go away from my life, Lena?! “ Lena flinched in shock as Denzel yelled. “ Why won’t you just leave like they all did, huh?! What the fuck are you still doing here?! “ “ Get out of my life, Lena! Leave! Just leave like they all did! I don’t need anyone to help me! “ The cold man grabbed her shoulders and squeezed them harshly. “ Why are you still staying with someone like me? Why? Why are you still dealing with all of this? “ “ Denzel, you’re hurting me “ “ It’s because of the kids, right? You’re here because I forced you to because I used the kids against you. And you’re doing all of t
🏵️ CHAPTER 68 🏵️ Denzel woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. He reached out to the water and pill already waiting for him on the lampstand and took them. Denzel tried to recall what happened yesterday, wondering how he was able to drive himself home after drinking that much alcohol and how he ended up ok the bed with only his boxers. He couldn't remember anything. He was about to climb off the bed when the door opened and Lena stepped in with a tray of food. Seeing he was awake, Lena flashed Denzel a smile, walking up to the bed. " Good morning " She placed the tray aside. " How are you feeling now? " Denzel ignored her question but instead he demanded. " What happened last night? " His question made Lena remember every hurtful word he told her last night but she knew he wasn't in his right sense. Not wanting to bring it up again, " You came back drunk so I had to help you upstairs and undress you. It's nothing much. I'm your wife after all " Denzel frowned.
🏵️ CHAPTER 69 🏵️Lena and Denzel ate breakfast silently while the cold man tried to avoid Lena's gaze as much as possible. He finally looked up when he felt Lena's gaze transfixed on him. Her hands supported her face as she gazed at him with a broad smile and dreamy eyes.Denzel frowned." What? Why won't you eat? "" How can I eat when I can stare at your handsome face all day? I'm already full watching you eat "" Have I ever told you this, hubby? "" You're so handsome that if you were a lollipop, I will lick you a million times and bite into you, hundreds of millions of times without getting tired " Denzel almost choked on what he was chewing and his eyes widened." What? " It came out faintly as he gaped at Lena in shock." I said if you were a lollipop, I will lick you continually until you're no longer sweet but I would still keep licking you " The short woman pouted and blinked innocently.Denzel snorted in disbelief." Are you ok? Did you perhaps hit your head on somet
