The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: A Bad Mother

"Melissa Young!"

Everyone turned to Lola, their faces a mix of dismay, horror, and intrigue. They had seen her before, and that kind of misplaced getup was something one wouldn’t easily forget. But this time, it wasn’t Lola’s horrific look that took their attention, but how she addressed Melissa.

Lola panted as she marched toward Melissa.

As she walked closer, she finally caught sight of the little duo on the floor. Tears in their eyes, and Second protecting his little sister even when he was just as small as her, made her pause.

Her eyes dilated, studying the situation, and each second of realization felt like a piece of her heart falling.

"Mo—mommy!" Chacha whimpered, and as if she wasn’t as fragile as before, she jumped from Second’s embrace and ran to her.

Second also jumped and hugged Lola’s leg. "Mommy!"

"Mommy?" Melissa blurted out, brows knitted as she watched Lola squat in front of them.

Lola squatted and hugged the two, her mind momentarily blank. She knew what to do, but somehow, seeing the twins in such a situation erased everything that was on her mind temporarily. For a while, all she could do was hug them as they wept in her arms.

She didn’t even wonder why they were here or where Silo was, so she could bury him somewhere real quick.

"Mommy, huhu!" Chacha buried her face in Lola’s shoulder. "Second and Chacha are so scared!"

Second also started crying, clutching the first layer of Lola’s black attire. "Mommy, the old auntie is so scary. She wants to step on Chacha and me."

"What?" Lola’s face twitched as a vein protruded on her forehead.

Slowly, she looked up at Melissa, eyes burning as if a glimpse of inferno had just peeked out for Melissa to see. Even the lackeys who had thrown Lola in the cubicle gulped, feeling their shoulders tense at that look beneath Lola’s white contact lenses.

"Melissa, you—"

"Mommy, it’s alright." Just before Lola could get up and confront Melissa, Second suddenly whispered in her ear.

Her brows rose, and she turned her head to Second, catching Chacha’s smiling face while their little hands were covering the sides of their faces.

"The old auntie didn’t hurt us," Chacha clarified with a mischievous whisper. "We’re just helping the old auntie."

"Her acting is so terrible, so Chacha and I decided to give her last-minute lessons," the little boy added discreetly, smiling so proudly like they had done a good job.

"..." Lola darted her eyes between the two, the tightness in her chest loosening. Seeing that the two were smiling so discreetly, her eyes softened in relief.

For a second, she thought the twins were hurt.

Getting thrown in a cubicle and locked in a restroom was something Lola would just overlook. After all, when they locked her in there, she easily crawled over the cubicle like a possessed spider and idled on the sink. She even managed to take a short nap on the sink!

After all, Lola was here to give Director Sarian some face, and because she would be in this place anyway for the twins’ father.

She could take all of that and wouldn’t flinch.

But the twins?

Lola never thought of what she could’ve done when she thought Melissa had laid a finger on them. Had Second been a second late, it would’ve been terrible. She was on the brink of seeing red.

Lola reached out and hugged the twins, calming her racing heart. "Goodness, you two." A chuckle escaped her at these two mischievous buns with eyeliner.

However, the twins just let Lola’s palms rest on their one ear while they looked up at the ladies with their naturally round eyes. They just stared at the ladies as if studying their faces... or remembering them.
