Chapter 73

**Kapittel 73**

** "It's already** night time, love," Hades stated as he picked up his necktie from the bed and wore it around his neck. She hated to admit it, but he looked so hot while dressing himself up for some formal occasion.

Her pout grew bigger. "If only you woke me up early."

For an unknown reason, ever since the morning she realized that he had brought her to this spectacular island, the intimidating and awkward feeling that she felt towards him whenever he fetched proximity with her went gone like sand that was slapped by the gust of wind. It was as if, she was growing close and fond of him in just a short period!

He chuckled while dressing himself with his tie. "I already told you earlier. You were sound asleep, and you complain when I try to wake you up."

He explained to her how he brought her to Bora Bora when she was fast asleep. He couldn't wake her up to tell her their private plane for the trip was ready so he carried her with him to the plane, and that was how she ended waking up in the place where she'd dreamed to visit and explore.

"Let me help you with that," she stated and dawdled towards him to fix his tie. With just a few shuffling of her slender finger, she had fixed Hades' tie with a neat fold.

"There we go," she muttered and pulled the necktie to straighten it before patting his shoulders lightly, trying to smoothen his dress shirt.

"Perfect," he said with a satisfied grin and grabbed his coat that was hanging in the closet. He wore it and said, "I see that you would make a good wife, love."

She shot a brow at him in reply. "Just because I helped you fix your tie?" she interrogated with her arms crossed. "Way to evaluate my worth, Hades," she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes at him.

"I apologize if that offended you," he apologized before fixing his coat and asked her, "How do I look?"

She gave off a cheeky smile. "Stunning."

"Good," he muttered before pulling her to him to give her a chaste kiss on the forehead, showing his deep affection to her.

"I'll die of boredom here," she whined like a baby. She wanted to have fun while she was on the island.

Hades gave off a chuckle before coming close and holding both of her hands. "Worry not, love. There's a party down the pool area, do you want me to accompany you there?"

As soon as she heard those words, her eyes twinkled in blissful delight. "I would love to!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"Well then, let's go," he said before carrying themselves off from the suite.

"UNCLE HADES! UNCLE HADES!" were the words Allison heard as soon as the elevator arrived in the lobby. Even though the thick doors were tightly shut, she could already hear the sonic voices of children calling out for Hades' name.

"Uncle Hades!" as soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw two boys chanting Hades' name in unison like a nursery rhyme while jumping up and down consecutively, she could see that they were very excited. Oh, what adorable children. She fought the strong urge to take the two boys in her arms. Children were her weakness, especially children with disabilities and babies. She's very fond of them.

"Right here," she heard the huge man beside her mutter with gentleness in his voice. She turned to look at him and saw how joy coated his steel eyes. The two boys gasped and turned their heads to face their uncle, then shouted in glee, in a louder pitch this time, "UNCLE HADES!" before throwing themselves to Hades for a huge hug, which gave her a good view of them both.

The two boys looked alike— the same hair color, the same smile, the same cheerful expression. They were twins. However, their eyes didn't have the same palette. One had a pair of steel grey eyes like Hades' while the other had a pair of seafoam green eyes, like hers. However, despite the differences in their eyes, she could tell that they look like Hades' miniatures, except that the boys have curly, black hair.

"We missed you, Uncle Hades!" the boy with expressive green eyes told him with full glee in his voice.

"I missed my boys, too," he muttered and took the boys in his arms. "Where is your nanny?" he interrogated the two.

"Uh-oh," the one with the grey eyes covered his mouth while the one with the green eyes pressed his index finger on his lips, shushing his twin.

All of a sudden, his sweet facade was gone and was replaced by something downright menacing, like a father who was on the verge f scolding his children. "Jekyll, Hyde. Where is your nanny Kyla?"

"Uhmm..." the one with green eyes put his palms together while the other one with the grey eyes kept covering his mouth. They were formidable on keeping their secret.

"No ice cream for you guys tonight if you're not telling me," their uncle threatened that startled the little boys.

"Nana Kyla wouldn't let us wait for you so we put chili powder on her dinner!" the one with the grey eyes confessed. It seemed that he was not fond of lying.

"Jekyll!" the other one exclaimed and glared at his brother.

Hearing the confession, Hades gave off a sigh. "It's bad to put chili powder on your nanny's dinner, boys."

"But it's worse not to wait for you!" the one with the green eyes defended and his twin exclaimed, "Yeah!"

The tedious uncle could only give off another profound sigh. "Where is she?"

"She said that she will go somewhere to get the spiciness away, Uncle," the twins answered in unison like how they chanted his name, but this time, the cheerfulness was gone and was only marked with sadness, guilt.

"Very well. Apologize to your nanny Kyla when she comes back," he instructed them.

"But Uncle Hades!" the two boys whined, pouting and looking at him with pleading puppy eyes.

"No ice cream if you will not apologize."

The twins frowned before saying, "Fine," in defeat. They're fond of ice cream, Allison could tell.

"It's really hard being a daddy, isn't it, Hades?" she teased him with a faintly mocking smile on her lips. She knew she promised him not to tease him ever again, but she couldn't help it and she thought it would bring their relationship closer.

He didn't seem to be affected by her mockery and placed the boys down on the floor that rendered the two groan. He placed his palm on their heads and pushed them closer to her. "They're my sister's children. Meet my nephews, love. This is Jekyll." He ruffled the hair of the little boy with steel grey eyes who was looking at her with awe and admiration like she was some goddess.

"Hi," she greeted to Jekyll and beamed brightly at him.

"Hewwow." The little boy gave her a toothy grin, showing off his incomplete set of white teeth.

"And this is Hyde." He ruffled the hair of the other boy with huge, expressive green eyes.

"Hello," she greeted Hyde with the same beam that she gave Jekyll. But unlike Jekyll, Hyde didn't answer her back and instead stared at her intently for moments before saying, "Uncle Hades, can I marry her when I grow up?"
