The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: It’s Been A While, Darling.

[Summit Partners]

A knock came at Atlas’s office before the door opened. Peeking in was Allen, checking in on his boss.

"Sir," he called as he walked in. "The twins just called. They said they were with your sister."

Atlas didn’t stop working as he answered, "I know."

Of course he knew, Allen thought.

He cleared his throat, checking the time. But before he could speak his mind, Atlas beat him to it.

"Go home," said Atlas with a brief look. "Lola said she’s coming. I’m waiting for her."

Allen smiled. "I still have some papers to finish, but I will once I’m done." He idled momentarily, eyes on the busy man behind the desk. His smile stretched before he excused himself, leaving Atlas alone while the man waited for his date.

Once Allen closed the door, Atlas stopped. He glanced at the time and thought of Lola. It hadn’t been that long since she asked him for a date, so he didn’t dwell on it and killed time until she arrived.

"Looney, we don’t want to hurt you. Do not give us a reason to."

Lola controlled her breathing, assessing the weapon pressed against the back of her head just by how it felt. She didn’t need to know who was holding her at gunpoint; just how he addressed her was enough to know who sent them.

Arching a brow, she heard a loud screech in the parking space. A few cars drifted to a stop before men jumped out of them. Seeing how many people there were, she dropped whatever plan was forming in her head.

She scoffed. "Vito sent all of you just to get me, huh?" She raised her hands and glanced over her shoulder. "I’m coming. Put the gun down."

But the man didn’t put the gun down, keeping it pointed at her even when he took a step back. Lola stepped away from the car and glanced at the man who had held her at gunpoint. The second she saw who it was, a light scoff escaped her.

"It’s been a while, Salvo," she said with a nod.

"Lune." The man, Salvo, finally put his gun down. "Unfortunately, I have to say it has been."

Their lips curled into subtle smiles, but their eyes glinted with hostility. Even Lola wore a look she hadn’t worn for a long time.

"I was given an order to take you, even if I have to shoot your foot," Salvo tipped his head toward the car where some of their men were waiting. "But I had a recent injury. So, my aim has been horrible, and I might accidentally blow your head off. It’d be best not to make me use it."

"You’ve never been Vito’s best shooter," she smirked in ridicule as she sauntered toward the car. "Why do you think I’m not putting up a fight?"

The sneer on Salvo’s face soured. He glared at her back as she casually walked past a few of their men. "Still as irritating as ever," he hissed before signaling his men. "Take her."
