The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: Science Project

The next day, Lola decided to work from home. Thanks to Atlas’s ice bath the night before, her body didn’t ache as much as she expected. Even so, she was still sore, and it was best not to push herself further.

Staying in bed, Lola glanced at the children in the bedroom with her. A soft smile crept onto her face as the twins quietly worked on their school project at the small round table. She took their silence as focus and decided not to disturb them.

"So cute," she whispered, her eyes softening with affection.

It was a good thing they didn’t have school today, since it was a holiday. That meant she could spend the entire day with them.

Lola lifted one leg slightly and nodded to herself.

"This is okay," she murmured, then moved her laptop off her lap. She peeled off the blanket and swung her legs over the bed.

She winced when her legs ached from the movement, but it was tolerable. She slowly made her way to the twins.

"Kids?" she called softly. "Do you want snacks? Or help?"

The twins looked up at her slowly, their faces strangely flat. There was no usual sparkle of excitement. This was the first time she had seen them like this, just like their father’s stoic face.

"It’s okay, Mommy," Chacha said meekly. "This is easy."

Second nodded slightly. "Just rest."

"What about snacks?" Lola asked again, but they both shook their heads.

Deep lines appeared on her forehead as the twins returned to their project. She darted her eyes between them, finally noticing their unusually quiet mood.

Are they upset? She wondered.

Atlas had left her last night after she took a quick cold shower, saying he’d put the children to bed. Lola was so exhausted that she fell asleep before he even closed the door. She had no idea if something had happened after that.

"Uhm..." Dragging a chair closer, Lola sat down beside them. She leaned in and observed the twins, but to no avail.

They weren’t talking. They weren’t giggling or being silly like usual. They were just... seriously working on something that didn’t look like a kindergarten project at all.

"Is this for your science project?" she asked. "I remember you had a science project — the one where we were supposed to make a greeting card?"

"No," the twins answered in unison, not even looking at her.

Lola frowned, feeling oddly emotional at their coldness. "Babies, did Mommy do something that upset you?"

Finally, they stopped whatever they were doing and looked up at her, both frowning deeply.

"Mommy, are Second and Chacha your babies?" Chacha asked, her voice small but curious.

"Of course!" Lola answered instantly. "You’re my adorable babies, right?"

Second huffed. "Then why did you call Sir Atlas your baby?"

"..." Lola blinked once. Then again.

Her brain immediately registered what Second had called his father — Sir Atlas. Was that a lower rank than Father Sir? She didn’t dwell on it and decided to focus on the real issue instead.

"Are you... upset because I called your daddy my baby too?"

The twins nodded at the same time before Chacha spoke up again.

"Mommy says we’re your only babies," she said, the corners of her eyes reddening. "But suddenly, you gave that title to him!"

"We want Mommy to be our only Mommy," Second added, his tiny voice breaking as he tried not to cry, "and we want to be your only babies!"
