The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Wish Were Mine

Lola ran back to pick up the small pouch she had left on her seat in the family room. It was a pouch the twins had bought for her. It was the reason she had this look to begin with — all to match that small orange pouch.

But as she ran out of the family room, her steps halted as someone emerged before her out of nowhere. Melissa blocked her path.

The usual meek and gentle smile Melissa wore was nowhere in sight. Not surprising, because that mask was only for others to see. This one? This deep frown, matched with a malicious glint in her eyes, was reserved for Lola alone.

What a privilege.

"You told them, didn’t you?" Melissa crossed her arms. "That’s why they were more accepting of your circumstances. Did you do that on purpose to put us in a bad light? Do you really have to do this to your family after everything?"

Lola tilted her head to the side. "Melissa, what are you talking about?"

"Lola, you of all people know that the Lancasters are very traditional in many senses. A pregnancy out of wedlock? Even the chairman would have been angry about that no matter how fond he is of you," Melissa scoffed. "The only reason he didn’t get angry is because he was already made aware... or you already told him lies to make him pity you."

Melissa took a step forward. "Lola, what did you say? Did you blame our family again for your failures?"

Lola fluttered her big, thick eyelashes, scanning the malicious look on Melissa’s face. Even though she had seen this countless times, it still amazed her. After all, she had to admit Melissa was a very different person in public versus in private.

It was almost hard to distinguish if she was even the same person.

"Melissa, what are you talking about?" Lola smiled, sighing shallowly. She took a step closer, and her smile faded. Her eyelids drooped slightly, thin brows rising. "I didn’t have to tell the chairman beforehand about a pregnancy out of wedlock for him to remain calm."

"Who would be surprised? Why would they? It runs in the family. I mean... look at you." She leaned forward, whispering. "If the Lancasters would be angry just because I got knocked up, that means they’re secretly angry at your mother and father... or at you, right?"

She raised a brow. "After all, you are the product of Lawrence Young’s infidelity."

Melissa froze and paled. Her pupils dilated as she watched Lola draw back her head. Her hands balled into tight fists, trembling.

"What did you say?"

"I’m saying, infidelity is a crime," Lola shrugged. "Getting pregnant out of wedlock is just... a bad decision?"

"You dare—" Overwhelmed by emotions, she raised her hand to strike Lola. But before it could land, Lola caught it midair.

"What are you—" Melissa pulled, but Lola didn’t budge. "Let me go!"

Lola held her firm, stepping closer until their faces were inches apart.

"Melissa, you think marrying into the Lancasters will erase the fact that you’re a child of an affair? Think again." She laughed quietly. "You said it yourself: the Lancasters are very traditional. If anyone should worry about that, isn’t it you? You’re the one marrying into their family, not me."

Lola studied Melissa’s pale, trembling face in satisfaction before finally releasing her arm.
