The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Shutdown

Bzt! Bzzt!

"Lola, what are you doing?! Did you even know Derek waited for you for hours?! How can you not show up!? Where are you right now? You need to come home now!"

"Your sister is getting engaged, and this is what you’re doing!? Come home right now, or you’ll be in trouble, young lady!"

"Lola, I know you liked Derek for a long time. But we’re already getting engaged. If you’re still angry about the past, then just say so. You didn’t have to give us and Derek a hard time."

Lola stood before the floor-to-ceiling glass of the penthouse, staring out at the city lights. She listened to the voicemail left by her family. After hearing Melissa’s voicemail, she had the urge to tease her and tell her that she couldn’t let go of Derek. But Lola didn’t have time for such a bother anymore.

"Five years... I’m almost surprised that nothing changed," she whispered. "Or rather... two lifetimes, and nothing changed."

In her first life, Lola had fallen into a trap and was left crippled five years ago. She would eventually die five years later. Thankfully, Lola was blessed with another chance in life on her fourteenth birthday.

How did it happen? She had no idea.

But since then, she had been trying her best to build a life of her own. It wasn’t easy, especially since she was trapped in the Young Household. And when she moved out, life was just as harsh. She got pregnant out of nowhere, and when she finally came to love and care for the life in her, the world had taken the baby from her.

Despite that, she turned her grief into a betterment of herself. To turn her life around just so she wouldn’t have to take her last breath... this same year.

Lola closed her eyes and shook her head. Then, suddenly, an adorable voice rang from behind her.

"Mommy, we’re done~!"

Her brows rose as she looked back, catching the adorable twins standing in their new pajamas. Their hair was still drenched, looking up at her adorably.

Lola’s heart softened at the sight of them, smiling.

"Your hair is still drenched," she muttered as she marched toward them, holding out her hands. "Come, let’s dry your hair first, okay?"

Second, especially Chacha, beamed. They happily held her pinky, sitting down on the big couch. Since they dropped by the mall before coming home, Lola took everything she thought the twins needed. Their father told her he would pick them up in three days, so she only took what they would need for the next five days, in case something happened.

With that, Lola dried their hair.

Seated on the couch, Second stood in front of her and let her dry his hair.

"Me too! Me too!" Chacha raised a hand excitedly. "I want Mommy to dry my hair too! And I want Mommy to brush my hair too!"

"I’m not—"

"Mommy, brush my hair too!" Second chimed in before Lola could correct them.

"..." Lola pressed her lips and then nodded. "One at a time, okay? Chacha, let’s dry your hair first."

Chacha excitedly pushed her brother to the side to stand in front of her. Lola chuckled as she picked up the small towel and dried her hair. Chacha’s smiling face relaxed, her cheeks blushing.

Lola, on the other hand, studied her adorable face and couldn’t help but chuckle. She glanced at Second, who was now seated beside her. Second studied his sister’s face, beaming brightly as if he was happy for her.

Such adorable children, she thought, and then sighed a bit. For sure, their father had money to be sending out millions to a stranger on a whim.

Which only made Lola curious whose family these two had come from. They just appeared out of nowhere, and when she called their father, he just gave her custody for the next three days.

"Mommy, my turn..." Second muttered, snapping out of Lola’s train of thought.

"Oh." Lola cleared her throat and faced Chacha. "Chacha, it’s your brother’s turn again, alright?"

"Okay~!"

So cute... Lola thought.

Chacha blinked, looking around until her round eyes landed on the wall clock. It was one minute before nine. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
