Atasha's POVThe next morning I told the kids over breakfast my plan on going back to Kansas.I want to get them ready first before booking a flight back to Kansas. I don't want them to do things that they don't want. I want their opinion in this matter and if they are not ready to go to Kansas I will wait for them to be ready."Mommy Aunt Grace lives in Kansas right?" Alisa asked so I nod my head."Then let's go to Kansas Mom. Let's visit Aunt Grace I already miss her," Alisa uttered.Grace is busy at work so she only visits during Christmas that is why I understand where Alisa is coming from, she is close to Grace. They are always inseparable when Grace is her.I smiled at Alisa then nod my head then I turned my head on Asher."How about you Asher do you want to go to Kansas?" Asher looked at me and then nod his head."I miss Aunt Grace too and I want to see Grandpa," he said which made me smile."Will you come with us Uncle Sebastian?"

When we stepped outside our cottage I saw Grace setting up the table near the shore."Aunt Grace!" Alisa called her so Grace looked at our direction and happily waved her hands towards us."Good morning," she greeted.The twins started running towards her direction so Grace open her arms widely and welcomed the twins.She kissed them on the head then turned her head on me."Good morning," she greeted."Good morning," she greeted back and she has this teasing smile on her lips maybe this is about the conversation we had last night."What?" I asked suppressing my laugh.Grace simply shook her head then continued preparing the table so I helped her but she still has this teasing smile plastered on her face so I
Atasha's POVI watched Conrad as he talk to Alisa. He fell silent upon hearing his daughter's question so I walked towards him and decided to butted in."Alisa no appropriate question okay?" I asked. Alisa pouted her lips then nod her head and after that he continued playing with her toys.Conrad let out a deep breath then faced me."I think they are not yet ready to talk to you I will call you once they feel okay," I said.Conrad understandingly nod his head then after that he decided to leave.When Conrad was gone I called the kids to have a sincere talk with them."Asher," I called Asher's name so he slowly walked towards me.Asher sat in front of me and Alisa did the same."Why did he come here Mom?" Asher asked and his voice is filled with pain."Why did he come here he doesn't love us anyway," he said and I immediately held his hand when he said those."He loves you Asher. He loves you and Alisa," I said and I am sure of that.And while saying those work I was taken back to the
Atasha's POV It was getting late so we decided to head back home.I invited Sebastian to my father's house, he was hesitant at first but after a while, he agreed since he missed the kids and he wants to bond with them.When we reached the house, Dad welcomed us. He looked at Sebastian intently so Sebastian politely greet my father and extended his hand while introducing himself formally.I saw how Sebastian turned pale when my father didn't say anything. He just simply look at Sebastian intently but after a while, he spoke."Thank you for taking good care of my daughter and my grandkids," he said sincerely then pulled Sebastian into a tight hug.Sebastian was shocked and didn't have any idea how to respond. Dad tapped Sebastian's back then after a while he broke off the hug then flashed a genuine smile."Join us for dinner," Dad offered and Sebastian politely nod his head accepting my Dad's offer."Thank you, Sir," he said.After that, we headed towards the kitchen. I helped Dad in s
Atasha's POVI looked at Conrad intently I saw sadness in his eyes but he hides it by smiling."Join us Conrad," I offered and pulled the empty chair on my side.Conrad smiled at me and then nod his head. He walked towards my side and occupied the seat beside me."I will put this in a plate," I said then stood up to get a plate.I put the food on the table."This pasta looks yummy who wants to try it?" I asked while my eyes are directed at the twins.After a while, I saw them glancing at the pasta and I can't help but smile when I saw what they are doing. They are resisting but I can tell by their face that they won't last longer."I want to have a bite Mommy," Alisa said after a while so I happily put some pasta on her plate and then directed my eyes to Asher.Asher let out a deep breath as if he is admitting his defeat."Fine," he said which made me smile. I put some pasta on his plate as well and watch them as they happily eat their food.When I turned my head on Conrad I saw his e
Conrad's POVI watched the kids as they happily eat the food that I brought. I felt the happiest whenever I am seeing them smiling.I turned my head on Atasha and when I caught her staring at me she immediately look away and pretended that she is doing something.She looks guilty as if she has committed some crime or something.When we are done eating I volunteered on helping Atasha with the dishes but a guy named Sebastian stood up first and walked towards the sink not letting me have a chance on helping Atasha so I let them and focused my attention on the kids."Do you want to play?" I asked.Alisa looked at me intently then pouted her lips and shook her head."It's already late," she responded so I nod my head and smiled at her."Do you want me to read you some story before you go to bed?" I asked looking at Alisa and Asher."It's fine we are already old enough for that kind of stuff," Asher uttered then climb down his chair and stepped out of the kitchen.Alisa followed him so all
Conrad's POVWhen the kids went to their room I was left with Atasha and Sebastian in the kitchen.Timothy, Atasha's father went to his room as well to rest.We were enveloped by silence until Sebastian decided to speak."What's your plan Conrad?" he asked.I looked at him intently not sure what he is talking about."What do you mean?" I asked completely confused."You are just here as a father of the twins right and not Atasha's husband?" he asked."Sebastian!" My eyes shifted to Atasha's hand holding Sebastian's arm firmly as if giving Sebastian a warning to stop whatever he is saying."If you plan to take Atasha back then decide now Conrad, I won't be patient waiting for you to realize what you want. I am not saying this to guard Atasha or to claim her as mine I am saying this because I don't want you to give her mixed signals. I am in love with Atasha I admit and I don't want to see her hoping for something that you can't give," he said while looking at me directly in the eyes.Se
Atasha's POVWhen I heard those words came out of his mouth I felt like something inside me was shattered into pieces. I thought I am over him but I guess some part of me is still stuck from the past based on how I reacted upon hearing his response.But despite being in pain I acted like I didn't care at all."I'm sorry about Sebastian," I apologized.Conrad looked at me and then simply nod his head."I understand him, he just wants to protect you," he said then flashed an assuring smile.When I can no longer pretend I excused myself and headed towards my room.
