Chapter 136Alfred is a changed man. You should give him a second chance. Besides, every human deserves a second chance” Dina said and Lisa stared at her without saying a word. She wiped her tears and stood up from the chair. “I'll see how things are going outside,” Lisa said and walked out of Dina’s office. She walked out of the restaurant and stood in a corner watching people enter and leave the restaurant.Just then she caught a glimpse of Mr. Luke, walking toward her. “Lisa Cranston,” Mr. Luke smiled at Lisa who forced herself to smile in return. “Hello sir” Lisa smiled back and Mr luke smiled. He stood beside her as he joined her in watching people walk in and out of the restaurant. “You are a strong woman and I admire your bravery,” Mr. Luke said, breaking the silence between them. “Sir” she turned to Mr trying to understand what he was saying. “You are a survivor. After you had jumped off the bridge, everyone believed you were dead except for Alfred. He never gave up on y
Chapter 137After Lisa had picked up the children from school, she went home as usual and did her normal routine. It was late before they had gotten home because it was raining. She had to prepare dinner so she asked the kids to stay in the sitting room and do their assignments while she prepared dinner for them.Lisa walked inside the kitchen and stared outside through the kitchen window. It was rainy and heavy out there followed by the sound of thunder. She locked the kitchen window and walked toward her fridge. She opened the fridge staring at it not knowing what to cook. She then decided to cook spaghetti, Bolognese. She brought out some fresh carrots from her fridge and also brought some green pepper, cabbage, beef, onions, and garlic. She put them in the kitchen cabinet. She brought out two packs of spaghetti and a clean pot. Just then she heard her children's voices from the sitting room. She dropped the pack of spaghetti and the pot on the kitchen cabinet before walking out
Chapter 138When he was done cutting the carrot, he took the beef and diced it. He took the cabbage and washed it with salt before slicing it.Lisa stood at the corner of the kitchen watching him with keen interest. After he was done cooking, Lisa joined him as they both arranged the food on the dining table. Just then she heard her kids running down the stairs. “Careful kids,” Lisa said, almost yelling. The kids paid no attention to her as they rushed toward Alfred.“Mr. Alfred,” Arabella yelled and jumped on him roughly. “Oh my baby girl, I missed you,” Alfred said as he touched her pointed nose playfully, making her giggle. “Mr. Alfred carry me in your arms too,” Annabella said as she hugged Alfred’s leg. “Me too, me too,” Clarabella and Isabella said as they hugged his leg. Alfred laughed as he carried the four of them in his arms. The kids felt so happy as they played with Alfred. “You guys should come to eat, the food is gonna get cold,” Lisa said to her kids who were happi
Chapter 139“Why would you tell the kids that kind of story?” Lisa asked as she shot Alfred a deadly glare. “I'm sorry, I didn't know it would offend you,” Alfred said as Lisa walked away from him. “Lisa” Alfred called trailing behind her and swiftly Lisa turned to him. “Stop playing with my emotions Alfred. Stop acting like you're a good man and a good father when we both know you're a monster. I'm only doing what I'm doing for the kids. I let you in tonight because of the kids and I want you gone before day break” Lisa said and turned to leave but suddenly she paused and turned to him. “Thing can never go the way you want it to go with us. It can not. Not now, not ever so please know your boundaries” Lisa said and with that, she walked away from him. She climbed upstairs to her room. Locking the door behind her, she sat on the ground tiredly. She wondered what Alfred was trying to do by coming to her home and playing with the children. Maybe he thinks she will forgive him beca
Chapter 140She stared at the man who was lying in her bed. He had black circles around his eyes like he hasn't been sleeping at all but still he was looking as handsome as ever.She sighed softly. No matter how hard she tries to be, even though she tries to act like she doesn't care but deep down she does care.She removed the towel from his forehead and put it back in the bowl. She gave it a light squeeze and put it back on his forehead staring at his face. He looked so much like her kids. The quadruplets had so many features of his. When she noticed his body was a bit calm she dropped the towel in the bowl and kept it back in the bathroom. She walked toward the table in her room and took some drugs from it. She carried a cup and poured water into it. She walked towards Alfred and sat close to him. “Hey Alfred, wake up,” she said as she touched him and he opened his eyes. “You should take the drug, it will help calm your body temperature, “ Lisa said as Alfred sat properly on t
Chapter 141What daddy?” Daniel asked and just then Alfred walked out of the kitchen. “Alfred?” Daniel called in shock as he saw Alfred walk out of the kitchen. “Daniel,” Alfred called out in shock. Lisa stared at the both of them wondering how they knew each other’s name. Do they know each other, oh no this isn’t good, Lisa thought as she stared at Daniel who was already staring at Alfred Angrily. “Uncle Daniel, do you know my daddy?” Isabella asked and Lisa swallowed hard. “Kids, go wait for me in the car. Daddy will be there soon” Alfred said to the quadruplets and they nodded happily before running out of the house to the car. Daniel scoffed. He was surprised to see Alfred and the kids calling him daddy. “What the hell is going on here Lisa?” Daniel asked, trying to calm himself down. He was so confused.“And what are you doing here Alfred? What do you want with Lisa?” Daniel asked angrily“I should be asking you that question, “ Alfred said, looking as calm as ever. Even t
Chapter 142“But your leg is broken,” Dina said in reply “Then I’ll be needing your help,” Lisa said and Dina rolled her eyes. *************Lisa’s car screeched to a halt in front of Daniel’s company. Dina was the one driving the car. Dina alighted the car and helped Lisa out of the car since she couldn’t walk on her own. “Are you sure he's in his office?” Dina asked Lisa “Yes, he wouldn't go home when he's angry. He only comes to his office and pours out all his anger on his office work” Lisa said as she and Dina stood in front of the company. Lisa smiled as she stared at the company. Memories of when she started working in the company came running into her head. She remembered when they promoted her, they gave her a new office. According to Daniel the last time they talked about the company, he told Lisa someone else was already occupying the seat.“Let's go then,” Dina said as they both entered the company. They entered the elevator which was going to the 7th floor where Dani
Chapter 143That bastard!!” Daniel muttered angrily. He’s been the one all this while that made Lisa have restless nights and all. He was going to kill him when he next saw him.Daniel stared at Lisa. All he could stare, he didn't know what to say. He moved towards Lisa and tried hugging her but Lisa pushed him away. She was feeling hurt by what Daniel had said to her. “How could he call her a whore? He judged her without knowing the reason behind everything.“Lisa, I'm sorry. I didn't mean those words I swear. I was just feeling hurt and angry“ Daniel said, feeling remorse for what he had said. He was just so angry and he let his anger get the best of him. He had hurt Lisa. Lisa stared at him, tears sliding down her cheeks. “Lisa please” Daniel begged and tried holding her hands but she pushed him away. “Let me be Daniel,” she said and wiped her tears. She didn't even know why she was crying. If it was because her leg was hurting or the fact that Daniel had said mean words to her.
