The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: How To Have A Mother

Lola sat quietly in the wide living area of the penthouse, deep in thought. She was propped up on the armrest, her knuckles resting on her jaw.

We have Mommy too...

Her lips pressed into a thin line as she recalled Chacha’s whisper in her sleep. She had known them for only a few hours, but those words tugged at her like no other. It was almost painful.

"Don’t they have a mother?" she wondered to herself, thinking that they had only mentioned their father once. "..."

Lola let out another deep sigh as she reached for her phone. She checked her brief message log with the number the twins had given her. Rereading their father’s messages, a sense of bitterness filled her chest.

"Just how could a man call himself a father when he just neglects them?" she mumbled, not impressed by whatever parenting the twins’ father was doing. "Whatever it is, he can’t just let his children go around without anyone looking after them."

It wasn’t normal, and to be honest, she wanted to call child services on him.

[To: Unsaved Number

Chacha and Second have already slept. Let me know if you’re going to pick them up.]

But just when she was about to send it, her thumb hovered over the send button.

"Tch," she clicked her tongue and deleted the message. "Never mind him."

The twins’ father hadn’t replied to her last message, and he hadn’t asked about the twins until now. So, why should Lola bother?

His disinterest in his kids only made her angry, and it would break her heart for the twins. Even so, the words Chacha murmured in her sleep played in her mind like a broken record, making her more upset by the second.

Leaning on the couch, she sighed.

"Never mind them," she whispered, closing her eyes. "A neglectful parent... of all people, I should be the one who is more aware of that."

After all, the only real parent Lola had was her late mother. However, when she passed due to her sickness, her neglectful father quickly took in another woman. To make matters worse, that woman had a child the same age as Lola, and that child was also her father’s daughter from that woman.

Her eyes partially opened. "I feel sorry for them," she whispered, referring to the twins, before closing her eyes again.

With her eyes now shut, memories of her bitter life flashed through her mind like a horror film she was cursed to remember, especially the incident that took the last piece of her heart.

Hours later...

Chacha and Second stood beside the couch, their faces filled with curiosity as they stared at Lola’s face. Lola had fallen asleep on the couch instead of sleeping with them on the bed.

Second pointed his chubby, small finger and poked Lola’s cheek. Her cheek squished, making the twins giggle.

"Second, we have a mommy now, right?" Chacha asked quietly, turning to her brother. "She’s our mommy, right?"

Second rubbed his chin and thought about it. After a second, he nodded and turned to Chacha.

"Hmm!" Second hummed cheerfully, resting his little hands on her shoulders. "Chacha, we need to be good so Mommy will stay with us!"

Chacha nodded, her eyes full of determination. "Mhm!"

The two of them shifted their eyes back to where Lola was sleeping before exchanging looks. The corners of their mouths stretched from ear to ear, giggling.

Lola’s eyes flickered underneath her eyelids, the stiffness in her neck waking her from her deep slumber. Even before she opened her eyes, she sat up and massaged her neck.

Opening her eyes, Lola hadn’t fully realized she had fallen asleep on the couch when two children greeted her so cheerfully.

"Good morning, Mommy!" the twins chimed in unison.

Lola jolted in surprise, her heart skipping a beat. Clutching her chest, her eyes darted between the twins standing a few paces from her.
