"Mommy, you read too many novels." Mike finally spoke when his laughter had subsided. The corners of his eyes were watering. "We're not that good."
Well, not that great by any stretch of the imagination, but you're still amazing kids.Fay just muttered it to herself. They would get a big head if they heard her.The girl then resumed her intention to take a bath. At that moment, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. So, were the two kids going to leave soon? Why was she feeling sad? Shouldn't she be happy that she didn't have to support the children any longer?The morning before breakfast, two days later, Fay was mostly silent. She didn't react to any of Mike and Mika's ramblings that tried to pick a fight with her."Stop talking nonsense!" Fay put down two plates of cereal for the twins' breakfast that morning rudely. She herself only had a glass of milk. Their money was running low. She had to save it for at least these two days."Mommy's not eating?" Mike observed the way Fay greedily finished the glass of milk. He was holding his own glass of milk."I'm on a diet." Fay lied. To be honest, there was only enough cereal left for the two children."Mommy is already very thin. What diet?" Mika interjected cleverly. She pushed her glass of milk over. "Mommy seems to really like her milk. Just drink mine. Lately I don't like the brand of milk Mommy buys."Fay glared in annoyance. Didn't like the milk she bought, huh? If she hadn't remembered that both of them needed adequate nutrition, she wouldn't have bought milk. She bought the cheap one. It didn't taste much different. But Mika complained that she didn't like it."Don't complain. Just drink it. If you don't drink milk, how can you grow fast? I can't wait to see you gone from my life.""Mommy actually loves us, our Mommy always said so before. Mommy just doesn't want to admit it." Mika put on her sweetest face. Her dark curls fell smoothly around her adorable face."Don't be so confident. Your mommy just wants to cheer you up." Fay got up from the chair and placed the glass in the sink. She ignored the urge to pinch both of Mika's cheeks"I don't think so. Our mommy is always right. Just like about daddy. Our mommy said we would meet him. We finally met him." Mika spoke between mouthfuls.Daddy again. Daddy again. How proud they are! Fay felt annoyed at this."I hope when your daddy comes, I'm not at home. Just call me to let me know so I don't think you've been kidnapped.""Mommy doesn't want to meet daddy?" Mika's eyes rounded. She couldn't believe Fay refused to meet their wonderful father. She was over the fact that Fay hated her father."No.""Why? Daddy is very handsome. He's also very rich." Mika was still curious."Just don't want to!" Fay said curtly. Like she didn't know why she didn't like their father."Does Mommy have a boyfriend?" Mike, who had been listening, spoke up.Eh? How could this kid ask him that?"Still a kid. No need to meddle in adult matters." Fay didn't say that she had never been in a relationship. She had been too busy with herself."I wouldn't agree if daddy married someone else." Mika said suddenly. "I will only allow him to marry Mommy.""I wouldn't agree either." Mike said. He always seemed to have more restraint than his sister.Fay felt dizzy listening to him. At this rate, she wanted to get rid of them and never see them again. Cade Goldwin would definitely think the worst of her.That's when there was a knock on the front door.Everyone looked at each other. They rarely received guests. Mrs. William, who always looked after the twins when Fay was away at college and work, would call out when she knocked.Fay got up from her seat and walked to the door. The two little heads behind her peeked through the kitchen door curiously.Another knock.Grumbling, Fay turned the door handle and pulled it open.Two men in expensive suits stood in front of her. The taller and more handsome one stood slightly behind. He wasn't looking at Fay but at his surroundings."Miss Willmer?" The one in front spoke. He, Langdon, Cade Goldwin's assistant spoke."Right. What's the occasion?" Fay knitted her brows. She didn't recognize either of them. But she had a hunch that they had something to do with Audrey's children."This is Mr. Goldwin." Langdon told her the identity of the man who now stepped inside first.Fay glanced unhappily at the man who had barged in unbidden.Cade Goldwin, huh? Fay did not hide her annoyance. Her face took on a sour look."I am Langdon, Mr. Goldwin's assistant. You must already know our purpose for coming here." Langdon spoke very politely. He was a little surprised by this girl's reaction which clearly showed her dislike for her master. All this time, the girls of Axton city had adored Mr. Goldwin."So you came here to pick up the children. That's good. I thought you would be here sooner." Fay went inside without asking Langdon to come along.But he followed her inside as well.Cade Goldwin glanced around the small room. He had no intention of sitting on the sofa. Fay who saw Cade's cold and dismissive attitude sneered behind him as he passed by."Mike. Mika. Look who's here!" Fay called out towards the kitchen. She knew the boys had seen their father coming.Pretending not to know, huh? You're so happy!Fay suppressed the feeling of sadness that suddenly crept into her heart.There was movement from inside the kitchen. Then Mike and Mika were seen stepping outside slowly."Say hello to your daddy," Fay said as she walked into the room. "I'll pack your things."Mike looked at Fay who had disappeared behind the door. Her expression was complicated."Hello, Daddy. You're finally here." Mika greeted first while giving her best smile.Mike remained silent. The boy seemed to be busy thinking.Cade felt mesmerized for a moment. He hadn't realized how beautiful and cute this girl was before.The great man of Axton lowered his body, bowing to Mika who was closer than his reach. His hand moved to touch the dark curls.This felt magical. Suddenly he was a father of twins. Without a test, he wouldn't argue that the blood flowing through them was his. Instead, he was worried that they were not related at all."Hello, dear. How are you? It's good to see you again. This time Daddy promises we won't be separated again." Cade's previously cold demeanor had melted away. He
The check was torn into several pieces and left to fall to the floor unceremoniously.Langdon could not hide the shock from his face. Cade was suddenly grim to see how the girl had slapped him once again in such a dramatic way. Meanwhile, Mike and Mika could only grimace at the fire of hostility that was beginning to burn between the two.They wanted to cheer when they saw what Fay had done to the check. It looked cool. They were sure that Mommy had never seen that much money let alone had it. But they still thought it was lame. Their daddy is not an easy person to provoke. Fay was like a moth trying to put out a fire. “You think everyone is the same, you can buy. Don’t dream. If necessary, I’ll keep bringing up your crimes and how I’ve suffered because of them. I’ll keep talking until you wish you were dead instead of listening.”Perhaps it was only Langdon who felt how the air in the room turned colder. He glanced at Cade Goldwin who was frozen where he stood. He couldn’t imagine h
“I’m sure you guys will feel at home in your daddy’s house,” Fay replied to Mike’s words. She closed the car door quickly so she wouldn’t have to listen to the boy’s babbling. Then she turned back to her apartment.Cade himself felt no need to look at the girl again. When he signaled Langdon who was driving to start the car, the vehicle moved slowly away from the place.Mika had been crying since she got into the car. But the child didn’t say anything. She was upset with everyone. According to him, no one supported his wish to invite Mommy to live with them. Not even Mike, her brother.Cade tried to talk to the little girl, but Mika was sulking and angry. Only Mike replied occasionally with short answers that made Cade think about how much harder it was to deal with a child than an adult.After driving for twenty-five minutes, they arrived in front of a towering high-rise building. Floyd’s apartment was the most expensive in Axton, one of the Goldwin family’s assets. Cade occupied its
“Can Daddy cook?” Mike finally spoke up.Cade laughed at the boy’s question until Mike thought it meant his father wasn’t much of a cook.“I’ll cook for you when I have some free time. Trust me, Daddy’s cooking will not be inferior to that of a five-star hotel chef.” Cade said smugly.Mika’s response was flat. “You’d better be. At least you have something to show us.”Cade could only scratch his head which wasn’t itchy. He was running out of ideas to make these two kids admire him. Maybe he would think of another way later.When the ordered food arrived, two waiters were serving them the meal. They arranged the dishes on the table and cleaned up when they were done.“I’m going to the company for a while. I have some business to attend to. Langdon will keep you at home until the afternoon.” Cade changed into something more formal. “Is Daddy bringing Mommy home later?” asked Mika as she followed Cade into the room.
“Mommy is very pretty. If she would just dress up a bit and wear nice clothes, she wouldn’t be inferior to Daddy’s previous girlfriends.” Mike defended their choice.So he was right!Langdon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this. Fay Willmer was not his type of boss. Moreover, in their first meeting, the fire of hostility had already been lit. What would Cade Goldwin say if he knew these boys were setting him up with that girl?And what magic could this pair of twins create to unite those two opposites?“Uncle, there’s no need to worry. Even if they don’t like each other at first, they’ll get married eventually.” Mike seemed to be able to read Langdon’s mind. “Well, although I have to admit, Mommy’s temper is a bit bad.”Oh my! Looks like Langdon will have to start being careful with these two kids. Don’t let him be the next target.“We know when someone is matched with someone else in just one look,” Mika announced proudly
“Have you seen Langdon?” Cade asked the two kids who were having a riot in his living room.“Uncle went to the bathroom,” Mike said, running his miniature car across the table.Cade frowned and went to his room. He needed to talk to Langdon about something, but he would wait first.But when Cade had finished showering and changed, he didn’t find his assistant in the living room. Had Langdon gone home without saying goodbye to him?“Uncle’s still in the bathroom.” Now it was Mika who told him. She looked nonchalant when she said that.Cade became suspicious. He moved back towards the bathroom located outside the bedroom.In front of the tightly closed bathroom door, he listened for a moment. There was no sound. He knocked.“Langdon? Are you in? Is there a problem?”There was the sound of water splashing in there.The bathroom door opened. A pale face emerged from behind it.“Mr. Goldwin—“ Langdo
Mike and Mika looked at their father and were curious about the phone call.“Daddy looks happy,” Mike said as Cade turned off the phone, leaving only a complimentary comment for the caller. “Did Daddy manage to persuade Mommy to stay here?”Cade wouldn’t be happy if she stayed. But he was satisfied that he would soon be able to conquer Fay Willmer’s stubbornness. That girl wouldn’t be able to refuse his offer anymore.“The deadline isn’t up yet. There are still two days left. I’m trying. But I’m sure Miss Willmer will be happy to be your nanny.” Cade told the kids who almost cheered at the news.It might be a good thing if the girl became their nanny. Didn’t Miss Willmer say that she had a hard time taking care of Mike and Mika? She would give that trouble once again even with the lure of Fay’s favor.“How did Daddy persuade her?” Mika asked while resting her chin on both arms.“Do you think Miss Willmer can be persuaded?” Cade s
It was still raining heavily almost an hour later. Fay across the street still hadn’t moved from her position.The man in the car started the engine, steered it across, and stopped right in front of Fay.The girl was initially indifferent to her surroundings. Not even the driver who got out of the car and hurriedly walked towards Fay to avoid the rain.“Miss Willmer. I went to your place, but you weren’t there.” Cade Goldwin greeted Fay. The girl was surprised by Cade’s sudden presence next to her. A little rainwater made the man’s dark hair wet. How could this damn man be around her? In this rain? Fay looked unhappy with the presence of the father of the twins. She only glanced at Cade and then refocused on the less crowded street.“Mike and Mika kept insisting that you be their nanny. So I went looking for you. Just tell me if you have any requests other than the offer I made.” The handsome face showed not
The fifth day of the honeymoon. The sun had begun to rise by a quarter. Inside the spacious and luxurious bedroom, it was quiet. The sound of the hanging ornaments on the balcony blowing in the wind, tinkling faintly, was the only thing heard. On the floor of the room, men's and women's clothes were scattered. The scene was a little chaotic and ambiguous. Meanwhile, the bed was even messier. It was as if a storm had come into this room last night and then left after it was satisfied with destroying everything. Fay's eyelids twitched before opening. The first sight she saw was the exposed muscles of her chest. And the scent of last night's intimacy immediately entered her sense of smell. She became dazed for a moment. Every time she woke up for several mornings, she still felt unfamiliar with this scene. The man holding her, the smell of his body, the whole room, all new and unfamiliar. Fay wanted to refuse to believe that this was real, but she was helpless. She had become the prop
Cade Goldwin and Fay Willmer's wedding was closed to the public. It was held on a private island with no more than a hundred guests. Reporters from various mass media could only wait around the shoreline and harbor as dozens of helicopters took turns picking up guests. The Goldwin family even banned live coverage and did not permit a single media outlet. They would only run a story on the Goldwin Group's official web page.The person who was most relieved about it was Fay Willmer. She didn't care about her status and what people thought of her. But the Goldwin name was too heavy to carry. She felt it would be troublesome if she had to go everywhere with that special identity. With a closed marriage like this, her identity was only known to a handful of people.Besides a few relatives and close friends, there were also government officials and business associates as well as a few high-class families. From Fay's side, not having any close friends other than Callie who was now her sister

Callie rolled her eyeballs. "Idiot. Do I look like a bride-to-be?"Mrs. Goldwin's brow furrowed. Had Fay forgotten that she was the one getting married? Last night Cade had informed her that Fay had agreed to marry him. So, he told the Goldwin family to come for the wedding formalities. The celebration itself would be arranged later. Cade is worried that she might change her mind. So he planned to get the marriage book first.Fay scratched her head with a puzzled expression. "I think you do look like a bride-""Talking nonsense again? Aren't you guys getting married today? Don't say that you don't remember." Callie was a little annoyed by Fay's inaction in using her brain."Huh? I-I-" Fay looked at the children for someone to explain."Mommy, Daddy is done getting ready. But you haven't even taken a shower yet. Hurry up." Mika also looked impatient.Fay instantly panicked. "Who said I'm getting married? This must be a misunderstanding.""Mommy, didn't you agree to marry Daddy yesterda
Fay's brow furrowed. "Talk about it later. Come on, get up. I'll help." Cade held Fay's hand, he held it tightly. "Listen first. If the results are bad, I want you to promise me to take care of the kids. I might die. Who knows?""Don't talk nonsense!" Fay suddenly felt her throat tighten. It reminded her of Audrey before her death. "You're not going to die.""Everyone dies." Cade reminded."At least you won't die that quickly." Fay felt her tears about to fall. "Let's get up!""Promise me first-""Promise what?" Fay's voice almost broke. "You won't die. So I don't have to look after those two annoying kids."Cade silently glanced at the eyes that were starting to fog up. God, this was a bit much. He was quite aware that Fay would probably go berserk if she found out she had been played.He took Fay's trembling hand. "Promise to marry me if it's all right," Cade spoke the words carefully word by word, as if afraid she wouldn't hear him.The two kids in the back snickered silently. Da
Fay didn't want to see Cade, but the children whined and kept insisting. She couldn't stand hearing the whining of a child. Reluctantly she went too to the man's room with two pairs of tiny hands dragging her along."I hope you guys aren't tricking me," Fay warned.Arriving at the room that Fay was familiar with having been trapped in all night, she saw Cade lying pale under the covers. His eyes were tightly closed. "Daddy's body is hot. Looks like a fever. Mommy check it." Mika knew that Fay suspected they had lied.Last night Mika and Mike slept in his father's room. In the morning Mike woke up to the feeling of his father's burning skin. When Mike tried to wake him up and ask how he was, all he got in response was a sigh. His father's eyes had opened a little, but then closed again and did not open again.Fay reluctantly touched the man's forehead. Just for a moment, she pulled her hand away again. It was really hot. Not a trick. But how is this? Was it because of the rain at Trix
Mike and Mika were still awake. They had eavesdropped on their grandmother and father's conversation earlier in the day, wondering when their father would have a serious conversation with Mommy.Mike curled his lips, defending his pride. "I'm not curious. I can confirm that Daddy will talk about their wedding plans.""But I am curious. I wonder if Mommy will blush when she says she agrees to marry Daddy." Mika giggled softly at the thought. That sounded interesting. Mike couldn't resist the temptation to take a peek."All right, let's go." Mike finally agreed.Mika gave a thumbs up, praising his brother's decision. The two walked hand in hand, sneaking along in the direction the two adults had gone.The door to the balcony was open, signaling that someone was out there. A cold breeze blew in, sweeping away the two small faces poking out silently from behind the shutters.There was only a long chair outside. There was no shadow of anyone. Both children were astonished. "Where are th
"Stop feeding me. I can do it myself." Fay kept saying that, but Cade also kept aiming the spoon filled with porridge at the girl's mouth. Fay wanted to dodge, but Cade had made a threat that made her ears turn red.Half an hour ago she was awakened by a warm touch on her lips. When Fay opened her eyes, a charming face was very close to her.Fay pushed. With just one hand. While her other hand, which turned out to be wearing an IV needle, was held by Cade."What are you doing?" Fay stammered.Cade's breath hit her face, making Fay dare not breathe air. She remembered this scent once upon a time."What do you think?" Cade smiled seductively.Fay was confused. "Stay away from me. You can't be impudent!" She then remembered her confession in front of Audrey's grave. Cade Goldwin must have heard it and become very bold."Even if I like you, that doesn't mean you can act impudent.""Even to your future wife?" Cade tilted his face. Still not moving away. His fingers even traced Fay's cheek,
Fay Willmer arrived in Trixie just before lunch. The friendly husband and wife offered her to stop by their house for lunch, but Fay quickly declined. She remembered a café near the park and planned to visit it.After a late lunch, the weather suddenly became gloomy. Fay went to the former house where she used to live with her parents. It had been taken over by an uncle because her father owed the family money. She stood for a long time in front of the small house with a patch of garden next to it, reminiscing for a while and then leaving.By evening, Fay felt very tired and intended to find an inn. She clearly remembered a few places and chose to walk to a small inn. After taking a shower, she remembered her cell phone and found that its battery had run out of power. It occurred to her that she might have caused a big commotion in Flyod by leaving without telling anyone. While her cell phone was unreachable. There would be many predictions. But Fay was too tired to think about it.
