The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Taz - To Endure

"Doesn’t that mean trouble for us? If Summit Partners funded Lancaster’s new project, we might lose the bid for construction in the redevelopment project."

Even though their company had prepared for this bidding and Lola had plenty of resources for it, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the Summit Partners.

Her jaw tightened, but she barely reacted. She knew that much when she saw the Summit Partners in front of the Young Residence. After all, Derek’s proposal was terrible, but with the right guidance, it could be a good business idea if he eyed the right land for it.

Lola shrugged and turned to him, casually closing the fridge.

"The Lancaster’s proposal is terrible, but with the Summit Partners, it’s already clear they’d eye this redevelopment for their own project," Silo added with worry, watching her stare at him squarely.

"That’s why we need to know more about the Summit Partners," she said. "Otherwise, we’ll be giving up this one project."

With that, she turned and walked away.

"One project?! At this rate, they’ll be in our way every step of the way — wait, you’re leaving? Are we done talking?" Silo asked, confused.

"We’re not, but the twins are going to sleep soon. I’m tucking them into bed. Let’s continue this tomorrow."

Silo frowned a bit before he shrugged, almost in disbelief at how Lola could suddenly put things off until tomorrow when she wasn’t usually the type. But well, he might as well consider this a treat. So, he followed Lola to where they left the twins.

But when they stepped into the living area, the documents he left on the coffee table were scattered around, with the twins seemingly playing with them.

Silo gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, intuitively gazing at Lola’s back. He gulped, very much aware of how Lola disliked others touching her documents. Even Silo wouldn’t touch her papers unless she handed them to him.

Uh, no... she’ll get angry, will she?

To his horror, not only did Lola not get angry, but she was chuckling.

"Pffftt—" Lola’s stifled laughter made the twins perk up from the papers they were sitting on.

The twins beamed. "Mommy~!"

"What are you doing?" she asked, resuming her steps and picking up some papers along the way. When she stood close to them, she saw that they were writing something on the documents.

"We’re helping Mommy!" Second cheered happily, then added, "So Mommy doesn’t need to worry so much!"

Lola’s eyes softened as she joined them, sitting on the floor. She reached out and ruffled their hair.

"Thank you for helping me," she expressed sincerely, ignoring Silo’s judgmental look.

From the looks of it, the twins had just scattered the papers and drawn on them. However, it was the thought that counted. Then again, if Silo heard this, he would surely lose it because, how come his thoughts never counted?!

"Twins, you seem to enjoy helping her, huh?" he muttered as he carefully sat down on the couch, eyeing the three of them wearing matching dinosaur onesies. When he gazed at the papers, his face twitched at the doodles.

"Mommy, what is Taz Real Estate and Construction?" Chacha asked out of pure curiosity.

Lola smiled. "It’s my small business."

Second and Chacha blinked, tilting their heads as they asked in unison, "Who is Taz?"

This time, Silo snapped his eyes at the twins and then at Lola. He pressed his mouth into a thin line, knowing the story behind the company and the alias Lola often used whenever she didn’t want her real name known.

Lola smacked her lips and smiled. "It’s not a person, but I just like the meaning of it."

"What’s the meaning, Mommy?" Second asked, full of curiosity.

"It means..." Her eyes drifted to the document as she thought of the name that had always stuck with her over the years. She shrugged and smiled at them. "It means to endure."

Her smile resurfaced on her face. "It’s about the story of a titan, who was condemned to hold up the sky. To endure... Taz. A shortened term for Atlas."

Silo pressed his mouth, knowing full well that Lola might not be lying, but there was another story to that.

"Atlas?" Chacha and Second blinked, staring at Lola innocently.

"Mhm. Atlas, like a collection of maps—"

Lola, on the other hand, furrowed her brows as she narrowed her eyes. "Your dad’s name is Atlas?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
