"Thank you guys for your support, and patiently waiting for new updates."
Chapter 98 “I can’t believe that it is already Christmas,” Ella said excitedly as she looked at the decorations going around the house. Daniel hugged her from behind and nodded, “Time has gone really fast. Another year has come to an end just like that.” “There was a time that me and the kids could not even afford a Christmas tree. Looking at their excited faces now, fills my heart with joy.” “I am sorry, it was all my fault.” Ella turned around and looked at the man. “Why are you apologizing? That was in the past. This is going to be one of the best Christmas for me and the kids.” “Are you happy?” “Absolutely. I have so much to be grateful for this year, how could I not be happy?” “I am glad that you are happy.” Paul and Jane came over in the evening. Ella had also invited Tony and Sandra, so the house was fully loaded. They say that celebrating Christmas with your family and loved ones was the best feeling, and that was probably true. The only thing that could be heard in t
Chapter 99 A few weeks later at the City Hospital… Daniel was gently rubbing Ella’s back as she whined in pain. His face was filled with worry and he wished that he was the one going through the pain, instead of his wife. “Doc, it has been like this for three days, what is going on?” Daniel looked at the doctor and asked coldly. That was right, Ella had been in labor for three whole days. Daniel had taken her to Paul’s clinic, but after seeing that the complication was beyond his knowledge and equipment, he told Daniel to take her to the hospital. The doctor rubbed his nose in exasperation when he heard Daniel. “Master Edmond, your wife wants to have a natural birth and there is nothing we can do about it. If she was willing, we would have already operated on her.” “No.” Ella shook her head. She better endure the pain than be operated on. “What do you want, honey? I can’t bear to see you like this.” Daniel gently said. His heart was practically bleeding at the moment. Ella loo
Chapter 100 Ella held the little girl in her arms and her face was filled with gentleness and warmth. She looked at Daniel and tried to hand him the baby. Daniel shook his head, “She is so tiny. I am afraid that I might squash her with my strength.” Ella did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. Newborns are always tiny. It was hectic to take care of them, but as parents, some things just came naturally. “Come on, give it a try. If you miss this chance, you will definitely regret it when she is all grown up.” Daniel could never refuse any of Ella’s requests. Although he did not know what to do, he stretched out his long arms and Ella passed him the baby. The moment he held her in his arms, Daniel felt a strange feeling that he had never felt before bubble in his chest. He looked at the little girl whose eyes were closed, and a warm and fuzzy feeling filled his heart. He gently carried her, afraid that he might squeeze her to death if he applied any pressure. Ell
Chapter 101 Three months passed by in a blink of an eye and everyone could not wait to find out baby D’s name. The quintuplets had tried everything they could but, they had not been able to crack the mystery. Carl had even created a software, designed specifically for name search, but even after a million searches, they had not been able to tell baby D’s name. And today also happened to be Daniel’s birthday, so the combined celebration made the mood in the Edmond family joyous. They had moved to a bigger and spacious penthouse that could accommodate fifteen people, and they were overexcited. These past three months have been a roller coaster for Ella. Baby D was not as obedient as the quintuplets, when they were young, and although she had Daniel to help her take care of their baby girl, she still felt exhausted each day. They had even employed a few nannies, but that little girl was not easily coaxed. Like yesterday night, she had spent the better half of the night crying. They
Chapter 102 People were already making connections as they waited for the host family. They were amazed by Daniel’s luxurious penthouse and they could not help but click their tongues in admiration. “This must have cost a fortune.” “I remember that when this land was put up on a lease, I was among the bidders. We were not many as people thought that it was too secluded. But Mister Edmond offered to pay triple the price without even blinking.” “At that time, I even thought that he was just throwing away money, but looking at how he had transformed the once barren land into a beautiful home, I have to say that I would not have been able to do it, even if I had gotten the land.” “This house is so big and beautiful. He must have spent a fortune here.” “Well, the man himself is filthy rich, and maybe this is nothing to him.” As they were conversing, Daniel came in with Ella holding his arm intimately. The firstborns were leading the way as their parents followed. The family of seven
Chapter 103 A few months after Daniel’s birthday, Tony and Sandra were set to wed. As the maid of honor, Ella spent the night with Sandra in the executive hotel where the wedding was going to be held. She looked at Sandra who was being dolled up and smiled, “I can’t remember the last time I attended a wedding. I am kind of nervous” Sandra was stunned when she heard Ella. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Boss, if you say that you are nervous, then what about me? My heart hasn’t stopped thumping since I knew that I would be wedding soon.” Ella chuckled, “What is there to be nervous about? You will be the most beautiful bride I have ever seen.” Sandra and her braids maid did not sleep a wink as they got ready. The quintuplets and Samantha were the flower boys and girls and they had also spent the night at the hotel. Samantha and Clarissa were over-excited. They loved weddings and they could not wait to get on the red carpet. On the men’s side, Tony was nervously fastening his tie
Chapter 104 “I can’t believe that time has moved so fast. You guys have been crawling around not long ago, and now you are ready for college? I don’t want to stay away from you.” Carl looked at his mother and felt his heart break, “Mom, we will be back often. We are not going away forever. Besides, you still have our baby sister to keep you company.” Daniella snorted when she heard that, “I am not a baby anymore.” Caleb looked at his sister who never admitted that she was a child and he did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Daniella, how old are you?” “I am nine years old, mature girl, alright. How can I be a child when I am almost in high school?” “Enough, everyone,” Ella said. They all shut up and looked at their mother. Ella spoke, “I just want you guys to be safe, especially you Caleb, Clare, and Carl. You are going to the military college, and although I don’t know why you want to be soldiers, I just hope your safety will be your first priority.” “Castro, I know that you
Chapter 105 Castro looked at Samantha and his face blushed a little, “Are you excited that we are going to the same college?” he asked. Samantha looked listless as if her mind was elsewhere. After not getting an answer from her for a while, Castro nagged her, “Candy, are you all right?” Samantha came back to her senses. She looked at Castro and forced a smile, “What?” Castro gently removed the strand of hair that was hanging on her face and repeated the question, “Are you excited that we are going to the same college?” When Samantha heard that, an unknown light shifted in her eyes. Looking at Castro’s face which looked similar to someone she was missing, she nodded her head, “Yes, I am excited. I am super excited.” Castro frowned when he heard Samantha. He knew that she was forcing her emotions but he did not know why. Ever since his brothers and Clare left, she has not been herself. She looked like someone whose soul had been hollowed out, and that was why he wanted to console
