The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: A Copy Is Always A Copy

After the audition, Lola planned a little celebration for Cedrick — a simple one, just for trying. The entertainment industry had brought back many horrible memories for him, and she was already proud that he had shown up and done his best.

Even though they knew they wouldn’t hear the results yet, she thought it was worth celebrating.

Once they left the audition venue, the three of them headed to the compound where the gym and Cedrick had been staying. When they arrived, Silo and Cedrick had already prepared the food and some barbecue on the rooftop of the building.

The thing was...

"Is she alright?" Cedrick wondered, glancing at Lola and then at the twins. Unlike Lola, the twins looked dejected, having sighed more times than they could count.

Silo narrowed his eyes. "Hey, Lola, are we here to celebrate Cedrick? Or is there a funeral I didn’t hear about?"

Slowly, Lola blinked and focused on the two guys across from her. The twins also raised their eyes, then sighed for the hundredth and first time.

"Did something happen, Taz?" Cedrick asked out of curiosity, then glanced at the twins. "Is everything okay?"

The twins just looked at him with conflicted eyes, their lips puckered in a pout as they gazed at Lola.

"Well." Lola leaned forward and cleared her throat, shrugging. She was about to explain when she caught someone out of the corner of her eye.

Intuitively, she turned toward the corner of the rooftop. There, Haji was eating behind a box. She only knew because his feet were sticking out.

"Why is he over there?" she wondered. "Is he trying to hide all the good meat?"

"Lola, just don’t mind the guy. He said he wants to live as a rat temporarily," Silo laughed awkwardly, instinctively glancing at the twins — the very reason Haji was hiding.

"So, what’s the problem?" Silo asked, bringing Lola back to the main topic. "Your mind looks like it’s drifting."

"Taz, is something wrong?" Cedrick asked curiously. "Is it about the role?"

"Mhm." Lola smacked her lips, eyeing Cedrick. "Director Sarian and the panel already made their decision right after the audition. I’m sorry, Ced."

Just hearing those three words was enough for Cedrick to draw a conclusion. He wasn’t picked. He tried to maintain a smile, but it faltered — not from bitterness, but shame.

"No, I should be the one apologizing," he sighed helplessly. "You believed in me — you, Silo, Haji... and even the twins. But I still failed."

Bitterness shone in his eyes as he tried to meet theirs. "I’m sorry, Taz..." he trailed off, catching Lola tilting her head and the twins furrowing their brows.

"That’s alright, Ced," Silo squeezed his shoulder, then turned to Lola. "Right, Lola? We can always — wait, why are you looking at him like that?"

"Uncle, what are you saying?" Chacha pouted, while Second added, "Are you confused?"

"Huh?" came from both Cedrick and Silo.

Lola let out a shallow chuckle. "That’s not what I’m apologizing for. The panel already made a decision, and Director Sarian told me that Simon is really good. We all agree on that."
