"What happened?" asked Abigail, after Shery and I arrived home. "Why did she get sick like that?

Abigail seemed to have heard that Shery was sick from David. She rushed to the house, two hours after Shery came home.

Meanwhile David had gone back to the office straight from the hospital, because his secretary kept calling him.

"It's okay, Aunty," I said while serving her hot tea. "According to the doctor, she caught a cold and her stomach was shocked, after eating late, then being crammed with a lot of food at once."

"Oh? It's not usual for her to be late to eat?" asked Abigail in surprise.

"I had a client come in and we talked a lot because he was interested in working with my company. I was late ordering dinner for the kids," I explained.

"Ordering? Usually, no matter how busy you are, you always make time to cook for them, even if it's just sausages and eggs. Could it be that Shery has a stomachache because the food you ordered wasn't clean enough?"

"Actually, I've been taking them

    "His name is Jansen Wang," David said. "He was one of my juniors in college and he happened to be working as an assistant for my Japanese client. So, we met and thanks to Jansen, I was able to approach my client and get his approval for our project."I looked at the man in front of me, who was wearing only a t-shirt and shorts, with his hair all over the place from sleeping on the living room couch.Jansen smiled and held out his hand. "Hi, Loreine, I actually got to know you through David. He always talked about you and your two kids. You guys are a really nice couple. Sweet marriage.""David and I do have kids together, but we're not married and not husband and wife," I replied flatly. I looked at the couch. "Please tidy up your bed and get dressed properly. The kids will be up soon."Jansen looked surprised by my cold attitude, as did David. I didn't care.David is the owner of this house, but is it appropriate for him to bring home a male friend while I am in this house and there

  • There's A Twins Between Us, Mr. Billionaire   Chapter 62 Proper Proposal

    David PoVF*ck!I don't know how to act in front of Loreine anymore. Her yelling this morning still rings in my ears and her angry face really shocked me.As far as I can remember, when she was a child until she was a young adult before she disappeared, until when we met again after almost seven years, she had never been angry to the point of saying rude things like this morning.Loreine tends to speak in a flat and cold tone when she feels disturbed or there is something she doesn't like. She never raises her voice and always keeps her expression emotionless.However, this morning, for the first time I saw her explode. Jansen even took a step back when she yelled at me after throwing the nougat candy wrapper at me."You're crazy, David!" Jansen snapped, after Loreine left while leading The twin to the car. "You almost made me the murderer of your children."I pulled my own hair in frustration. How could I forget about the twin who was allergic to nuts? Oh, it must be because I was s

    "Mommy, why are we bringing so many things?" Shery asked while looking behind her.In the back of my car, the back seat was folded so that I could put a suitcase filled with the twins' clothes and toys, which I had prepared beforehand so that I wouldn't have to carry them back and forth every time I went to the office.I also brought a thick folding mattress that I had bought on purpose, a blanket, and a pillow, so that the twins could sleep comfortably in my office."In the suitcase are your clothes as well as toys and books. Anyway, I still don't know how long it will be until Aunty Petra comes back, so it seems like I have to find a more effective way so that you don't get bored every day in my office."This morning after arguing with David, I immediately went to the office with the twins and asked Wendy to help me find an apartment that was not too far away and also a good daycare.Wendy's friend's daycare was a bit far from the office and it was a bit inconvenient in my current s

    I admired Wendy's house. It was about an hour from the office, because it was located a bit on the outskirts of town, but it was worth it for the tranquility and comfort that felt dominant.It was a beautiful house, a typical American dream house, with a white fence, a fairly large front and back yard, a front porch where a rattan swing was placed, and a clean neighborhood with neighbors who knew each other well, but didn't interfere with each other."My mother bought this house for cheap from someone who was in gambling debt. She fixed it up little by little and after I started working and earning money, then got married, my husband helped renovate the whole thing," Wendy said as she turned off the engine of the car, which was parked in front of the driveway."Is the neighborhood here safe?" I asked. "There are a lot of cars parked outside.""Yes, it's very safe. It's a neighborhood where most of the old people have been around since their grandparents' time. There are security guard

    "I'm so sorry, Damian," I said wholeheartedly. "And give my love to Petra. Lucas is on his way there, so don't worry. You can take care of your father's problems until they are resolved and let Lucas take care of Petra. She must be very sad, right?"Damian laughed. "Actually, it was only for a moment. She tended to feel relieved, because after our father died, our lives could be freer than when he was around."I couldn't help but laugh, even though I felt the irony of Damian's statement."Why do we always have problems with fathers," I muttered."Maybe, that's why I don't want to be one. I can't imagine raising a child, only to have to fight with me when their grows up," Damian replied.We laughed together and I ended the call with my colleague after once again expressing my condolences.Damian and Petra's father finally passed away after being critical and in a coma for three weeks. I took a deep breath as I calculated how much longer I would be in this troublesome situation.Althoug

    "Just a moment," Jared said. "I just want to say something proper to you."My brow furrowed even more hearing Jared's words. What did he mean?Finally I decided to follow him to a restaurant in the west corner of the mall. It was a fairly famous Italian restaurant because the chef who cooked there was a chef who won the television program The World Master Chef."Hi, Luigi," Jared greeted the waiter who was guarding the door as a greeting man. "Can I have my table?""Mr. Jared. There's always room for you," greeted the man named Luigi. He opened the restaurant door and gestured to let us in. "Please."Luigi led us to a special room. I read the VIP sign on the glass door leading to the room. It seemed that Jared was a regular customer of this restaurant so it was easy for him to get access."Please serve today's special menu, Luigi," Jared said, after we sat down. "And my usual order, for two people."Luigi came out of the room with Jared's order. I didn't intend to say anything, so I j

    David PoVI don't know what got into me lately. I couldn't sleep at all, found it hard to swallow food, and couldn't concentrate on anything.I was lonely. Alone. Ever since Loreine and the twins left my house, everything was not the same anymore.Before, I always lived alone in the house, ever since I bought and built it. After a busy day at the company, I would return to the house, clean myself, then go to sleep, wake up in the morning, and go to work again.Day after day like that, for years. The house was big and luxurious, but in fact, it was always empty and felt cold, because I only used it as a place to sleep at night for a few hours.Then, Loreine and the twins filled it with pleasant warmth and cheerfulness. The aroma of delicious cooking, Loreine's favorite perfume, laundry fragrance, and the twins' body cologne, were the most comfortable warmth.Not only that, the melodious voices filled the entire room, was the most melodious music at that time. The sound of the twins jok

    "Damian!"I stood up and came out from behind my desk to greet Damian. We hugged each other tightly. It had been a long time since I had seen him, since he had returned to Italy to take care of his sick father who had finally passed away."You've gotten thinner," I said, observing Damian closely. "Is everything hard there?"Damian sighed and walked over to the couch, then plopped down on it."My father was really an amazing man," Damian said in a gloomy tone. "He had prepared everything for me and my siblings who all came from different mothers.""Damian, don't tell me that you have to take over your father's business with the mafia?" I asked worriedly."That's what I wanted to say. My father has cut ties with the mafia, and I don't know what happened, it seems like he made a special agreement with them," Damian said with blank eyes. "When my father died, the Dons came and paid their respects, but they didn't bother me and my siblings at all.""Isn't that great?" I asked in surprise,

    "Too busy with the pattern.""The material is hot and stiff.""Ugh, the color makes me look pale like a living corpse.""Ooh... I don't like the model, it's too revealing."Petra, Marisa, and Erika, sighed together. They slumped on the sofa and leaned against each other. I glanced and grinned at them.I was still choosing a dress from the many wedding dresses hanging, with a frown and pursed lips. I started to feel annoyed because none of the dresses felt right for me.A very pale light blue dress, tucked between several white lace dresses caught my eye. I pulled the dress off the hanger and immediately fell in love.The dress had a cheongsam-like style, with a high collar, sleeveless, heel-length, and a high slit to mid-thigh.The beautiful silver peacock motif on the smooth pale blue satin material, would sparkle when the wearer moved."I want this dress," I said, to the three exhausted women on the couch, my future in-laws.Marisa stood up quickly. "Loreine, honey, it's too plain."

    "Oh my God, this is really amazing," Wendy said with tears in her eyes. "I've been anxious for days. I don't know what I'm going to do if you guys go back to Italy and I have to work with new people."I laughed and hugged Wendy tightly. Damian patted her shoulder gently. The results of the assessment from the head office had been announced. Damian and I were asked to continue leading the Los Angeles branch because we were considered to have achieved a lot. Several big clients who worked with us, were proven to increase the company's turnover with a fairly profitable value.There was a debate, seeing our good work, Damian and I, several higher-ups at the head office wanted us to be transferred to the London branch to fix the chaotic situation there.However, more people opposed the idea and thought that the London branch might be fixed if Damian and I were sent there, but the risk of the Los Angeles branch experiencing a decline in performance if it was not handled by Damian and I worr

    I felt restless. Since morning my mood had been messed up and I couldn't focus on anything."Calm down, baby, I'm sure you'll get through it just fine. You've worked hard all this time and the results you've gotten are also amazing," David said, trying to calm me down with his gentle words and his hand stroking my hair.I took a deep breath, convincing myself that what he said was true. But, I still felt nervous.The assessors from the head office had arrived last night and today they would assess me and Damian after lunch.I took a deep breath several times before getting out of the car in front of the office. David smiled and squeezed my hand gently."Dave, you want to pray for me today, right?" I asked while looking at him."Of course, baby, I always pray for you without you asking me to," David replied softly.I reached out and hugged his neck tightly, trying to absorb all the good energy and enthusiasm from David to face the examiners from the head office soon.Damian greeted me

    "Here's the plan," Abigail said, pushing a light blue folder in front of me and David. "Everything is written down in detail, complete with a cost breakdown and a backup plan.""But don't mind the numbers, because we've got it all covered. This is just to let you know that this is what we're trying to do for your wedding," my mother said quickly."I don't think we should have included any numbers at all," Abigail muttered."I told you before," snapped my mom.I nudged David's arm and he took the folder and opened it. I leaned in to read the contents.David held his breath and looked at me, then turned to my mother and his mother who were sitting side by side in front of us, waiting for our reactions."Mom, this is too... Uh, grand?" David said hesitantly."Of course not!" my mother quickly denied. "It was the simplest concept I could have chosen among the many other luxurious wedding options your mother offered, David. You'd be surprised if you saw the other options she offered me bef

    "We're going home, mom, to my apartment," I said while combing my mother's hair which had grown longer than before, when I first visited her.At first the doctor was optimistic that my mother could go home sooner because of the progress she had made during the treatment.But, it seemed that the divorce process between her and Alexander had a big impact, even though it was what she wanted, so her condition worsened again.Now, after being tested several times, the doctor said she was ready to go home. I've talked to David, I picked her up myself and took her shopping before going back to my apartment."Why to the apartment?" David asked last night before going home. "You guys should go back home, your mom too. Just leave the apartment. My home is your home, baby."I smiled and reached out, brushing away the hair that had fallen onto David's forehead."I'll take the kids and my mom there, but after we get married. I need to be sure first," I said softly."You're still mad at me," David

    Hailey's funeral procession was solemn. Quite a lot of mourners came, including grandpa Jameson, Alexander, and Liam.The Arshen family, not only Abigail and Gregory, but also several other relatives. The Reiner family, Jared was not there, all gathered in the hall of the Adam family's house, to release Hailey together.David and I brought the twins to attend the funeral. They looked a little confused but enthusiastic, seeing the process and atmosphere of the funeral. This was something new for them."Mom, does everyone here know each other?" Shery asked in a whisper.I shook my head. "I don't think so. I don't know some of the women in the corner over there, but all of these people are connected by one thing in common.""Hm? What is that?" Shery asked seriously."They all know Hailey and gathered together to release her to her final place," I answered.Shery nodded and then she whispered to Shane who seemed to be listening seriously.

    "I remember everything."David, Leroy, and I exchanged glances. Hailey's voice was soft and slow, but we could hear her clearly and what she said surprised us all."W-what do you remember, honey?" Leroy asked nervously.David held Leroy's shoulder. "Leroy, you should call a doctor first, to check Hailey's condition. Loreine and I will guard here."Leroy looked nervous and confused after Hailey opened her eyes. He looked like he could go hysterical at any moment, so David tried to take control.However, after hearing David's words, Hailey pressed my hand which she had still been holding since she opened her eyes five minutes ago."No, don't call a doctor," Hailey said in a hoarse voice. "I don't need a doctor. I want you guys to just listen to me for a moment."I rubbed Hailey's hand. "You need to be checked, Hailey."Hailey shook her head stubbornly. "No need.

    "I don't like him," David grumbled for the umpteenth time. "He looks like a playboy."I sighed, for the umpteenth time too. David continued to nag about Warren even after the man and Dwight had left and we were on our way to the hospital.Leroy Adam had let me visit Hailey at the hospital and David had come to pick me up when he bumped into Warren who was about to come back into my room after coming back from the bathroom.They bumped into each other in front of my room door and got suspicious of each other until they argued. Dwight and I could only shake our heads at their behavior."David, you're being unreasonable," I said in a tone of annoyance that I deliberately made audible. "Warren and I just met today. When you bumped into him at the door, he had only been in for about ten minutes and asked to go to the bathroom. He was with my client, Dwight.""He seemed very attentive to you, for only being in for ten minutes," David said. His voice was a little softer. Maybe because he sen

    "Can I visit her?"David looked at me. He seemed hesitant. I, myself, said that spontaneously, responding to David's story about Hailey being treated in the hospital because her condition suddenly declined, last night."I'll ask Leroy, I mean, Hailey's father. I have no right to decide because it's not my authority," David replied after a while."You didn't get enough sleep," I said while wiping under David's eyes with my thumb."Yes. Leroy doesn't want me to leave. He said he wasn't sure he could support himself if something happened to Hailey. I stayed with him until this morning," David responded in a tired tone. "I could only leave after I said I had to attend a meeting with a client."I adjusted my sitting position and turned David's body so that his back was to me and then started massaging his shoulders.David groaned softly, as I touched his stiff muscles. "Oh God, I really want all of this to end soon," David said. "But, do you know, baby, that kind of thinking makes me feel
