The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Don’t Go

The next day...

Chairman Lancaster’s hearty laughter echoed through the residence’s barn area as he watched the twins run around with his chickens.

"Hahaha!" he shook his head. "Look how adorable they are. I was worried they would be terrified of the chickens, but look how they’re chasing them! My other grandchildren would never let their children near the barn."

Lola, seated just beside him, smiled subtly. Last night, she received a phone call that the chairman had fainted and been rushed to the hospital. But the chairman was stubborn and insisted on going home. Hence, the head butler had reached out to her.

"Grandpa," she called, waiting for his attention. "Butler Nit is worried about you."

The chairman wore a subtle smile. "I know. He’s the one who called you, isn’t he? I told him not to bother you, but when you get older, people barely listen to you."

She pursed her lips while the chairman let out a shallow breath.

"Grandpa, that is not it. Butler Nit’s intentions are only for you, I’m sure of it."

"Lola, child." He reached out and squeezed her hand lightly. "I know you’re worried about me, but this old man is better off at home. Here, I can do what I can with the time the heavens have left me."

He slowly turned toward the children and animals. "Now that you have children, you understand that you’d rather be home than spend your days locked in a room. I would have died sooner in the hospital, and all those medicines... they’d just prolong it."

"Grandpa, they’ll take care of you," she said, but the chairman waved her off.

"One nurse around the residence is enough." He nodded at Lola reassuringly. "She can look after me here." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Helplessness flickered in her eyes, knowing there was nothing she could do to change his mind. It wasn’t that she was hopeful—she knew the chairman was stubborn—but she came anyway, just in case. Clearly, nothing and no one could sway him.

"So, these are the children you were talking about, huh?" he said, changing the subject and chuckling as he saw the chickens chasing the children. Earlier, it had been the opposite. "What adorable children they are. I could watch them the whole day."

Lola smacked her lips as she chuckled, watching the twins.

"I remember when you were just like them," he mused, imagining Lola as a child. "You ran around on your grandfather’s farm, played with the chickens and every other animal... and when one got sick and passed, you cried so much no one knew what to do."

Her brows rose slightly before a subtle smile appeared on her face. She kept her focus on the children, gently rocking her head.

I think... I did have that memory. I almost forgot there were good memories too.

With everything she had gone through, her mind had been filled with bad memories. The good ones were buried somewhere deep.

"Your mother back then was so worried," the chairman chuckled. "She didn’t know how to make you feel better."

"She’s like that," Lola whispered, remembering Loren. "She was truly a great woman."

Another moment of silence fell over them as they reminisced about the good parts of the past. The chairman remembered his time with his best friend—Lola’s grandfather—while Lola thought of her mother.

Before Loren fell ill, she had been a hands-on mother. Even with work and helping with the family business while Lawrence handled things, she never forgot to give her daughter time.

In my first life, I didn’t even know she was going through so much. All I knew was that my mother was the best.

[I feel sorry for Lola. She will hate me, won’t she?]

[Uncle, please look after her. It’s the least I can do for her.]
