The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The Lucky Draw

"Thank Miss Young for this."

After saying that, Harvey carried on, and the Summit Partners entourage drove away without wasting another second. Derek, meanwhile, stared at the retreating vehicles in stunned silence.

Harvey’s words had reached everyone’s ears, and slowly, all eyes turned to Melissa.

"Oh, Lisa!" Jasmine grasped her daughter’s hand. "What did you do, hmm?"

Melissa bit her lip, having no idea what Harvey meant. But with everyone looking at her and Derek rushing to her side with pride and joy in his eyes, she couldn’t help but smile.

"Surely, my daughter is a godsend!" Lawrence laughed, his earlier worries evaporating like smoke. This was better than anything he’d hoped for.

"Dad, it’s not much..." Melissa tucked her hair behind her ear, feigning modesty. "I just tried following up with Summit Partners about the proposal."

"Melissa..." Derek clasped her hand, his gaze swimming with affection. "You really are a blessing to me."

Whatever tension had been in the air from Lola’s earlier appearance was quickly forgotten. The Lancasters exchanged glances and then turned their attention to Melissa.

Whatever she had done, they were grateful for it.

As for Lola, she quietly watched how the atmosphere shifted. The Lancasters’ mood had visibly changed.

Well, it’s Summit Partners, she thought, eyes following the cars driving out the gate. Even if they disliked the engagement, this is something they can’t ignore.

She tilted her head, still puzzled.

But why?

Lola thought about it but came up empty. With a shrug, she turned and walked back inside, where Chairman Lancaster was still seated. She had come with her own agenda. Whatever "blessing" came to Melissa and Derek was no concern of hers.

Little did she—or anyone else—know, the answer to Summit Partners’ unexpected appearance was much simpler than they thought.

The answer... were just sitting in a convenience store, feet swinging beneath the table, waiting patiently for their "mommy."

Meanwhile...

Silo sat across from the adorable duo, Chacha and Second, who were quietly watching people walk by through the glass wall of the convenience store. They were just outside the subdivision where Lola had gone.

Their faces, like Lola’s, were painted as if Halloween had arrived early. When Lola had done her makeup in the car earlier, the twins had wanted to copy her—and here they were, decked out in full Halloween glam.

"Uh... kids," Silo cleared his throat as they looked at him with those big, curious eyes. "Why do you keep calling Lola your mother?"

He couldn’t shake it. It had been nagging at him since earlier. They had clearly mentioned having a father, but when it came to a mother, only Lola.

The twins blinked, then looked up as if trying to recall something. Chacha pouted.

"Uncle, because our mommy is our mommy!"

Second nodded seriously. "Our dad told us so!"

"Your dad... told you Lola is your mother?" Silo repeated, confused.

The twins nodded enthusiastically. The truth was, they hadn’t thought much about having a mother until recently. As they grew older and noticed other kids calling someone "Mommy," curiosity grew with them.

Why did other kids have mommies... and they didn’t?

So, they had asked their father if they had one.

His answer?

"You didn’t come from a tree."

And that meant they had one. But when they asked where she was, their father had no idea.

"Huh?" Silo frowned. "Your father didn’t know where your mom was?"

Second shook his round little head. "He said we were delivered to him."

Silo’s face contorted. He didn’t know if he should laugh, cry, or call someone. This was borderline absurd.

"But our Father Sir told us what our mommy looked like!" Chacha chimed in proudly. "He said she’s the prettiest soul! Super attractive and has a really nice voice too! He said we’d know her when we saw her!"

"Yep!" Second added. "So even if Father Sir didn’t know where she was, we found her already! So it’s fine!"

They beamed, grinning from ear to ear, their painted faces glowing with pure joy.

Did she add another layer of eyeshadow? She actually looked more decent when she left.
