Chapter 118But there was something weird about the quadruplets that Daniel kept on thinking about. Their eyes and most of what they do remind him of his old best friend, Alfred.He quickly shook off the thoughts, maybe he was the one overthinking things. He coughed slightly and the kids turned to him. “Uncle Daniel, where is mommy?” Isabella asked “She’s outside taking fresh air, “ Daniel said as he walked toward the kids and sat beside them. “How’s your leg?” He asked “It’s okay, At least better than yesterday, “ Isabella said with a shrug“Why didn’t you let your school or your nanny call your mommy? Don’t give me that look, Isabella, I know how convincing you can be” Daniel said and Isabella sighed sadly “I didn’t want mom to be worried about me. I know how she acts when she’s worried about us. It makes her cry sometimes” Isabella said and Daniel exhaled deeply. He could understand the kids cared for their mommy so much and they hate to see her in tears. “But at least, you c
Chapter 119I’m serious Lisa, you don’t have to tell me how you feel about me. I know you don’t feel the same way I feel nor are you ready for anything I understand. I just want you to know I’ll be right here waiting for you till you’re ready” Daniel said and pecked Lisa on her forehead before moving away from her. Lisa sighed as Daniel moved away from her. She was speechless as she didn’t know what to say or do. Daniel has been the best kind of man to Lisa. He’s stood by her when she needed him, he’s always supported her, her dreams, and her kids. He’s been like a father to them. What more could she ask for? He’s stood by her and waited for her for close to 7 years now. God!!! She didn't deserve such a sweet, caring, and kind-hearted man. She then began why she hadn’t developed any feelings for him for the past few years. No matter how hard she tries to love him the way he wants, it just isn’t working. She’s tried. She sighed softly. She didn’t know what was wrong. Maybe it was he
Chapter 120You don't have to if you don't feel like it. I know you don't feel the same way for him. You only see him as the brother you never had” Dina said and Lisa sighed softly. “Sometimes, I begin to wonder. After all these years you still didn't fall in love with him. There are 1 million reasons for women to fall in love with Daniel. What if your heart belongs somewhere else or rather someone else” Dina said and Lisa rolled her eyes at her. “You must be joking” Lisa scoffed“You don't need to love him out of pity. It's gonna hurt him. This is a matter of the heart” Dina said and Lisa sighed softly. She then decided to change the topic of discussion.Aria called me this morning that someone wants to book our restaurant for a business meeting” Lisa said to Dina“Uhm, yeah. It's not a business meeting. It's like a funding party for the CEOs. They do it every year. I guess they picked our restaurant this time” Dina said and Lisa hummed“When are they holding it?” Lisa asked“Next
Chapter 121Do not hurt her. She’s a good woman. You both deserve each other” Daniel smiled at Williams and he nodded in response. Meanwhile, Lisa is seen in Dina’s office with both of them laughing together. Lisa felt happy for Dina. At least she was able to move on from Charles.She never thought Dina would be able to move on after everything but she was glad she did move on. “Clara, can you go check on Isabella in Lisa's office?” Dina said to Clara and she nodded before leaving.“She's so happy Williams is now her dad” Lisa smiled as she stared at Clara till she was out of sight. “Yeah,” Dina said and she stared at Lisa who was smiling at her.“What??” Lisa asked as she scoffed“Daniel” Dina raised her eyebrows. “What about him?” Lisa asked “Tell him how you feel,” Dina said“He knows. He fucking knows and guess what? he said he's going to wait” Lisa said and Dina opened her eyes wide. “Woah, you're lucky, “ Dina said and Lisa scoffed.“Clara said something today. She said sh
Chapter 122The car screeched to a halt in front of Lisa’s compound. Lisa opened the door from inside and alighted the car. She opened the passenger seat and carried Isabella out of the car then closed the door. She walked inside the house and noticed everywhere was so damn quiet. She helped Isabella sit on the couch in the sitting room. “Bella’s” she called out and suddenly she saw Arabella running down the stairs at full speed.“Arabella careful!!” Lisa heard her nanny scream at once. “Oh my goodness” Lisa quickly stood up and rushed to the stairs. Just as Arabella was about to slip, Lisa was quick enough to hold her. She had almost hit her head on the ground. “Oh Jesus! Arabella what were you thinking by running down the stairs “ Lisa yelled at her. She felt so scared when she saw Arabella running down the stairs that way. She was sure Isabella was running that way on the school stairs and broke her leg. “I’m sorry mommy,” Arabella said and pouted. Her eyes were already teary
Chapter 123For you Lisa nothing is too much. I'll do absolutely anything for you just to see you and the kids smile” Daniel said and Lisa felt her heart soften. Daniel was the best person she's ever seen. There's no one like him, Lisa thought as she smiled at him. “You should eat breakfast. You don't want to be late for work” Daniel said jolting her out of her thoughts. She smiled at him before sitting on the chair. “Kids, let's get going. You don't want to be late for school” Daniel said as he untied the apron dropping it on the dining chair. “Yes, uncle,” the kids said as they stood up. They walked towards their mommy Lisa and kissed her on her cheeks one after the other. They walked towards Isabella and kissed her on her cheeks one after the other. “Get well soon. Love you” they whispered into her ear as they kissed her cheeks. Isabella felt her heart leap in joy. “Love you guys forever” she whispered to them and they smiled at each other. “Love you mommy” they yelled as t
Chapter 124What? Is there something on my face?” Alfred asked and Isabella scoffed. “Yes. You have the same eyes as me and my sisters. I'm just surprised. Well, I'm Isabella” Isabella said as she brought forth her little hands for a handshake. Alfred chuckled as he stared at Isabella's little hands. God!! He wondered where this little kid got her courage from. “I’m Alfred kings,” Alfred said as he accepted the handshake. Isabella smiled and Alfred’s mind quickly went to Lisa. That smile looked so familiar. Even though Lisa never smiled at him in the past, he’s seen her so many times smiling at Andrew and this smile was just exactly like Lisa’s. “I would love to meet your mom, “ Alfred said looking around “Oh!! I’m not sure she would want to meet you. She must be really busy right now” Isabella said as she picked up her newspaper from the table. “Oh!! Seems like your mom is the busy type” Alfred said and Isabella nodded “What about your dad?” Alfred asked “Oh, I do not have a
Chapter 125It was evening and working hours were almost over. Daniel had come to the restaurant after he had picked up the children from school. The restaurant would close soon, so there were just a few people inside. The rest of the quadruplets walked in looking around with Daniel behind them. Just then they caught a glimpse of Dina walking toward them. “Aunt Dina” they yelled as they ran towards Dina and hugged her. “Sweethearts, how are you?” Dina asked as she bent to their level touching their hairs. “We are fine aunty” they echoed at once and Dina smiled.“Aunty where is Isabella?” Annabella asked “Oh!! She's over there” Dina said as she pointed towards a table at the extreme end where Isabella was sitting. The kids immediately ran away from Dina and went to meet Isabella.Immediately, the kids left Dina stood up and smiled at Daniel. “Welcome sir,” she said and bowed her head making Daniel scoff. “I have told you times without numbers, not to address me as sir. I would
Chapter 219I’m going to miss grandma…. I wish I could divide her into two pieces so one can go to Singapore and the other would stay with us” Clarabella said and the quadruplets exhaled deeply.“I just can’t wait for mommy and Daddy’s wedding to come so grandma can come back here,” Arabella said “Same here but come to think of it we will be starting a new school here,” Annabella said and the quadruplets opened their eyes wide in shock. “Oh my goodness! I had forgotten too. I just hope the people here are nice and else I’m going back to Singapore “ Isabella said and Clarabella laughed. The rest of the quadruplets stared at her wondering what was funny.“Are you going back to Singapore? Who’s going to take you back there, except you are planning on entering grand ma’s luggage when next she comes? Besides, you are so small, I’m sure you can enter her luggage and nobody would know” Clarabella said and they all burst into laughter. Isabella rolled her eyes at Clarabella.“You must be in
Chapter 218“I love you,” he said and then he lay on the bed beside Lisa. He moved her petite body towards himself as he cuddled her. Lisa who was already feeling weak from the sex closed her eyes and suddenly drifted to sleep.**********************The sound of her phone’s ringing tone disrupted Lisa from her beauty sleep. She groaned softly and opened her eyes. She sat up properly on the bed and stared at the other side of the bed only to see Alfred wasn’t in the room. Lisa began to wonder where he had gone to. She decided to answer her phone call. She picked up her phone and saw it was a call from Dina. Just as she was about to answer the call, it ended.“I’ll call her later,” she said out loud and dropped the phone beside her on the bed. She sighed softly, scrutinizing the room but Alfred was nowhere to be found. She tried listening properly if she would hear any sound from the bathroom, thinking Alfred is there but no sound was coming from there, meaning Alfred isn’t there
Chapter 217Lisa opened her eyes wide at the sight of his well-built body and then her eyes moved to his lower area.“Blood of god...” Lisa muttered and quickly turned around. “Don't you have any shame, Alfred? Try to put on some clothes” Lisa said and she heard Alfred chuckle. She scoffed wondering what was funny in what she had said. “You entered my room without knocking and you are asking if I have no shame,” Alfred said and Lisa scoffed.“Whatever!! I'm leaving” she said and held the handle of the door. Just as she was about to open it to leave, she felt Alfred's hands on hers. She swallowed hard as a cold shiver ran down her spine.“Where do you think you are going to go?” Alfred said in a seductive tone as he moved his face close to her neck, sniffing her scent, and just then he brushed her neck with his tongue, sending close shivers down Lisa’s spine.“What are you doing Alfred?” Lisa managed to say but Alfred didn't say a word as his tongue kept doing wonders in her neck.
Chapter 216Mom, I’m so hungry. What did you cook?” Lisa said as she walked past her mom and walked inside the kitchen.********************Lisa and the kids are seen sitting at the dining table waiting for Alfred and Daniel to come to join them before they start eating. Alfred had gone to his room to take his bath and change his clothes, just like Daniel. “Are they not here yet?” Mrs. Rebecca asked, holding a tray of food as she walked out of the kitchen.“No, and I’m not waiting. I’m so hungry” Lisa said and was about to eat when Isabella screamed no!!!“No, mommy we should wait for daddy,” Isabella said and Lisa turned to her mom who shrugged. “Fine then,” Lisa said and rolled her eyes. Just then Alfred and Daniel are seen climbing down the stairs and talking to each other while laughing so hard. They looked so happy together. She then noticed Alfred holding some files in his hands. Lisa rolled her eyes. She was sure it was working again. He hasn't fully recovered yet and he
Chapter 215Lisa walked inside Alfred’s ward looking as angry as ever. Alfred whose eyes were fixed on his phone turned to Lisa wondering why she was angry and her mom wasn’t with her.“Lisa, what’s wrong?” Alfred asked. “I just saw uncle Damon’s wife and then she’s asking me to forgive Uncle Damon that he’s in the hospital, that he has cancer. I’m never going to forgive him, not after everything he did to me and my mother. He fvcking shot my mom. Even when I was pleading with him to help my mom. He paid a deaf ear to my pleas and all he did was hit me telling me to shut up. I can never forgive him, he’s so heartless” Lisa said and Alfred sighed softly.“Remember I paid your uncle to get you for me. He sold you to me if he’s a monster so I’m i” Alfred paused and Lisa rolled her eyes.“At least you were not my uncle. I trusted him, Alfred. He was like a father to me, I even looked up to him like a mentor” Lisa said. Alfred could understand how she was feeling.“Lisa, no matter what
Chapter 214It's been two days and Alfred is still in the hospital, recovering. Lisa has been by his side, while he recovered.Lisa and Alfred had just gotten off the phone with the quadruplets. They missed their parents. They just can't wait for them to come back home.Lisa sat beside Alfred going through her phone when she saw a video of Williams proposing to Dina. Lisa yelled happily and Alfred turned to her wondering why she was yelling.“It's Dina. Williams proposed to her already....” Lisa said and Alfred hummed.“Seems like they've sorted themselves out already,” Alfred said and Lisa nodded in response. Lisa had told Alfred what transpired between Dina and Williams.“I'm so happy for both of them. I need to call her now and congratulate her” Lisa said smiling. Alfred stared at her and then noticed how happy she truly is for her friend. “Why don't you call her later? Can you please go tell the doctor to discharge me, I'm tired of staying in this hospital bed already. I hate the
Chapter 213Meanwhile, Lisa is seen outside Alfred’s ward speaking to Dina on the phone.“I’m so sorry I left without telling you. Alfred was shot and I had to come to see him” Lisa said and Dina sighed softly “It’s fine, you shouldn’t apologize. I'm glad you are with him and he’s okay” Dina said in a sad tone. Lisa then noticed from her voice that she sounded sad.“Is everything alright Dina? Have you told Williams the truth? Have you guys sorted things out?” Lisa asked concerned.“Well, he found out before I told him and he broke up with me, “ Dina said“Oh my goodness!! I’m so sorry Dina. Do you want me to talk to him for you? I can do that if you want” Lisa said “No, it’s fine. I’m serious, I’m okay. Besides, Richard is back in prison now, so I’m okay” Dina said “What about the pregnancy?” Lisa asked “ I’ll just have to keep the baby. I can’t kill an innocent child because of what happened “ Dina said and Lisa sighed softly“I’m sure Williams is going to come around, I know ho
Chapter 212“Lisa” Alfred called, jolting her out of her thoughts.“I didn’t know you were still flirting in the hospital bed. How many nurses have you slept with here?” Lisa asked, obviously jealousy washing all over her veins.“Whatever you see, it isn’t what you think. We were just talking” Alfred sighed“Who is she?” Lisa asked“Rhoda, my ex” Alfred said “Oh wow. I thought she was dead” Lisa said “Same here” Alfred responded “I never knew people were starting to rise from the dead. I’m not surprised “ Lisa said and Alfred exhaled deeply. “How are you feeling?” Lisa asked“I’m feeling better now that you are here with me,” Alfred said and tried sitting up properly on the bed but Lisa held him.“No, you should be resting, alright, “ Lisa said and Alfred smiled at her.“What happened? Daniel told me Andrew shot you” Lisa said“Yeah? And he’s dead” Alfred said as sadness swept through him.“Why are you sad? You should be happy he’s gone and everything is over” Lisa said and Alfred
Chapter 211 You should save the explanation for your ex-husband. If you still love him, you can go back to him and you know what?? It’s over. This relationship cannot work anymore. We are done” Williams said with tears in his eyes as he walked out of the room leaving Dina In tears.Dina sat tiredly on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She began to wonder how Williams had found out about it. She hadn't told anyone apart from Lisa and Lisa would not do such a thing to her, never, she thought as she wiped her tears. She brought out her phone to call Lisa but then on second thought, she dropped the phone. She knows Lisa has been going through a lot lately. Maybe it's high time she learns to fix her problems herself and stop depending on someone, she thought. She would give Williams some space and when he's ready to talk they can sort things out but at first, she needs to think of a way to get rid of Richard for good before he ruins her life. she thought.She stood up from the b
