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
