The lobby become quiet and everyone stared at the children and the laughing man infront of the reception desks.
Lilian was beginning to panic if they couldn't meet Alphonse Monroe today they would be in big trouble.
"What is going on here?" a deep voice disrupted the silence. The three people infront of the reception desk looked at the 3 men approaching them. In the middle of the trio was a old man he had a striking aura around him that exluded aura. On each of his side were probably his bodyguards wearing black suits and matching black ear pieces in there ear.
The mister beside them immediately straighten his posture and bowed. "CEO Monroe good afternoon" he greeted. "Lu Zhipeng what is going on here? why are you laughing like a monkey in my lobby?" CEO Monroe stated staring at the young master Lu.
"I am sorry CEO Monroe but this children are trying to play a prank on Brother Alphonse they are telling me that he is there father" Lu Zhipeng explained pointing at the two children besides him.
CEO Monroe upon hearing his son's name looked at the two kids. He looked at the two bun they seem not older than 5 years old and looked at there worn out clothes. He couldn't but sneered at them.
"If you are truly my son's children do you have any proof?" CEO Monroe questioned them. Little Lilian and Little Alec exchanged looks before Lilian closed her eyes to think.
If she answers this grandpa with random information like birthday and such it was common knowlege. She needed to answer with something unique that only a handful of people knew about.
After a few seconds she smiled "I know he is my father because my mother told me my father has a Bear shaped Birth marked on his left butt cheek" she proudly stated.
In her previous life she loved Alphonse Monroe more than the ML as an avid fan she read all the information she could about him. She knew his favorite color, his favorite food, and almost all random facts about him.
Lu Zhipeng looked at the girl coughing as he tried to stop himself from laughing again. As the lobby was silent everyone heard what the little girl said. They all couldn't stop thinking of President Alphonse with a bear shaped birth mark.
Unknown to them at the top floor their beloved President Alphonse Monroe sneezed. 'Someone must be thinking something bad about me' he thought before continuing reading the report of the investigation his Secretary Li delivered.
'I need to take the next few weeks off and look for his newly discovered children' he thought to himself. As he read the more disturbing part of the investigation. Time was ticking he needed to prevent the tragedy he read on those document 13 years in the future.
Meanwhile unknown to him downstairs CEO Monroe still stared at the twins and said nothing. The birthmarked isn't a well known fact but it still wasn't a definite proof.
"Also I have this..." Lilian pulled out a necklace she was wearing. This was the only memento that her mother left her. It was taken the day of her conception when Yui Sato escaped the hotel room she took this from Alphonse Monroe thinking it was the ML's.
Upon first look it was just a normal necklace but there was a secret button that opens the pendant inside was a picture. It was a small picture of a family of 4.
From her memories the mother of the ML and the second ML was a jewelry designer. She created this for the ML and SML as a memento that they carry around everywhere.
Lilian opened the pendant and walking towards her grandpa she showed the picture inside.
CEO Monroe took the pendant from the little girl. He smiled as he looked at the photo it was one of the rare family pictures they have as a family. He glanced at the little girl and the boy upon closer inspection they do look similar to Alphonse.
Without a second thought he nodded at his bodyguards and the two children were lift up and carried. The bodyguards followed him as he walked towards the Presidential Elevator with the two children in tow.
Lu Zhipeng was left dumbstruck in the lobby. He looked at the beautiful receptionist behind the reception desk.
"What just happened?" He asked and the receptionish just gave him a courteous smile.
The door of the Presidential elevator opened and the twins were carried to a big office with two big wooden doors. They were gently placed in a black leather coach by the bodyguards.
CEO Monroe sat behind the big wooden desks. He pushed the button to connect to his secretary "Call Alphonse in my office now" he ordered.
A few minutes later the door opened and Lilian stood up and beamed with happiness. She couldn't help pinch herself as she stared at the man walking towards her grandpa.
It was second male lead Alphonse Monroe before her eyes. Her inner fangirl screamed inside the man infront of her was so much more than she could imagine.
The striking aura, the handsome face, those silky black hair cut just around his nape with his fierce expression her heart felt like it was about to explode.
"ALPHONSE YOU BASTARD...." Ceo Monroe suddenly stood up and started to hit his son. "DID YOU THINK OF ME AND YOUR MOTHER....YOU BASTARD.....MY HEART...OH MY HEART" CEO Monroe touched his chest and slowly walked backwards to the couch. "You...you....how dare you make a girl pregnant!!! Did i teach you to be this shameless"
Alphonse Monroe looked at the two children seating in the sofa. He walked towards them and bend down until they were eye level.
"Are you Lilian Yui Monroe and Alec Yuki Monroe?" He asked when the twins nodded there head he immediately wrapped them in an embrace.
CEO Monroe stared at the scene in disbelief. He didn't know if he should be angry or be touched at the scene.
Alphonse stood up and looked around when his eyes landed on Bodyguard Zhao. "Uncle Zhao do you mind bringing the kids to my office to rest and asked Secretary Li to bring them some food? I think both of them would be hungry" He requested patting both of the kid's head.
Bodyguard Zhao looked at CEO Monroe when the old man nodded his head. He walked towards the twins and ushered them outside.
CEO Monroe and were the only once left inside the big office.
"Yuexin explain to me what just happened?" CEO Monroe demanded as he sat on his chair. Alphonse walked toward him and smiled. "A miracle happened father" was his only answer.
Alphonse Monroe pulled a few documents from his pocket and handed them to his father. As his father took the documents and scanned them.He observed as his father clench the papers. "This is the intial information Secretary Li gather he would investigate futher in the next coming days" he explained "I would like to ask for leave father for me and Secretary Li? I need to take care of my new found children and for Secretary Li to investigate and dug up some things for me""If this is all true then tell Secretary Li I want everything he finds out too" his father stated his cheeks slowly turning red from anger."Take Zhao and the children home you could start your leave the day after tomorrow. Tie loose strings here and you can take 3 weeks off."His father instructed "Thank you father then I will take my leave" he excused himself.Alphonse Monroe closed the door and looked at his secretary who was waiting patiently for him at the side."I g

"My love welcome home" CEO Monroe greeted his beloved wife walking towards the trio. Madam Monroe slowly let go of the twins and embraced her husband. "I am home dear" she said giving CEO Monroe a kiss on the lips.Alec looked at her grandmother as she tried to recall her storyline. The mother of the ML and SML was said to be kind and gentle.
