The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Do you have a split personality?

"It’s just you and me... tonight."

Lola stared at Atlas as if he were a gigantic, breathing question mark. Him and her? Tonight? All alone?

"Oh." Her eyebrows rose, a slow smile spreading across her mouth. "Cool."

Satisfied, he jerked his chin toward the remote control. "Play it." After giving the command, he leaned back and picked up a tablet, settling in comfortably.

Meanwhile, Lola watched his every move with slow-burning horror. Her complexion paled, and her eyes grew wider than ever.

What the hell?

Her face twisted in dismay as she peered at him. She didn’t want to suspect him of anything, but he didn’t do this on purpose, right? He didn’t send the children away just so they could have some alone time, right?

We’ve been together the entire day... and he hasn’t done anything suspicious.

If anything, everything that came out of his mouth was... she didn’t even want to think about it. The man had a talent for getting on people’s nerves without even trying. Just as Lola recomposed herself and convinced herself it was just an innocent movie night, a new thought crossed her mind.

The dismay in her heart doubled. She realized she was worried about the wrong thing.

It wasn’t Atlas’ intention, or what he might do, she should worry about. She should worry more about what her colorful mind would concoct.

"What are you doing?" His voice snapped her back to the present. Atlas tilted his head, watching her with a quizzical expression. "You haven’t played the movie yet."

"Ah... right... ha... ha..."

His brows knitted at her strange tone and forced laugh. Lola cleared her throat and straightened her back, about to play the movie, when a sound stopped her.

Ding Dong!

Both of them glanced up, listening to the echo of the doorbell. A second later, she perked up and leaped from the couch.

"I’ll get it!" she exclaimed, tossing the remote back onto the cushion. "Don’t worry about it. Just stay there!"

She hurried away, not even bothering to check the door camera before rushing to the main door.

Atlas, on the other hand, simply arched a brow before casually shrugging.

Outside the penthouse, Slater stretched his neck in a circular motion.

"I am so tired," he muttered, his face a mask of exhaustion. "James already told me I’m done with everything... but that guy—I’m going to replace him someday."

Bitterness filled his head as he remembered working nonstop all day because his manager forgot to tell him about one more project. Amidst his thoughts, his brows rose. Fluttering his lazy eyes open, he noticed the surroundings had dimmed.

Just an hour or two, Lola, she nodded to herself. Don’t be a drama queen. Sit through a two-hour movie with him, then lock yourself in your room.
