Chapter 75: CHAPTE 74

**Kapittel 74**

**Allison's jaw dropped** to the floor and her eyeballs bulged out from their sockets in shock. She gaped incredulously at the young boy before her who was looking at her with huge, innocent eyes. Her shock then subsided when she heard Hades let out an amused chuckle. "Of course not, Hyde. That's your Aunt Allison, she's my soon-to-be wife." But what he said next shocked her even more. She turned her head to look at him with her lips agape. How could he lie in front of the children like that?! He's their uncle and he shouldn't be a bad example to them!

Technically, they were engaged before and they were trying to figure out each other's feelings right but that didn't mean that he'd claim that they're marrying!

"What does that mean, Uncle Hades?" Hyde asked his uncle innocently with his green eyes wide, expressing innocence and curiosity.

"Yeah!" Jekyll added, raising a hand like he was asking his permission to speak from a teacher.

Hades smiled and ruffled his nephew's hair before pulling her close to him by the waist, his grip tight. "That means uncle is marrying her."

Hyde's eyes grew wide in surprise and he gaped at them, whining, "Unfair!" to which made his uncle just chuckle at him in reply. "Too bad for you, chum. I saw her first. Better find another woman."

The child pouted at his uncle. "You're so unfair, Uncle."

"Am not," Hades chuckled.

"Jekyll! Hyde!" Allison heard a woman's high-pitched voice called out. She turned her head and saw a woman clutching her stomach with her face completely red and worried sick.

"Nana Kyla!" the twins exclaimed before looking at each other. She could see fear and nervousness in their eyes, they then hid behind the shadow of their uncle's huge figure.

"S... Sir Hades..." the nanny trailed off nervously and bowed her head down as she walked to them. Allison could tell that the young woman was completely intimidated by Hades. "I... I apologize for leaving the twins behind. I didn't know that my dinner was mixed with something spicy that I need to drink lots of milk to ease the spiciness," she explained with her head still down.

He just nodded at her before looking at the twins. "Boys, what do you need to say?"

"But Uncle..." Jekyll tugged his uncle's shirt and looked at him with puppy dog eyes once again, but Hades just shook his head at him. He looked down before stepping out from his uncle's back. "I'm sorry for putting chili powder on your dinner, Nana Kyla."

Hyde also stepped out from Hades' behind with his head hung low as well. "I'm sorry, Nana Kyla."

Allison looked at the nanny and saw surprise in them, but later on, her face softened in compassion. It seemed that she adored these children very much despite the prank they've done to her, what a compassionate nanny she was.

"Of course, boys. You both know that I can't resist you two," she said and held out her arms for a hug. The twins looked up to their nanny with relief and joy in their eyes. "Nana Kyla!" they cried in unison before throwing themselves to their loving nanny for a hug.

Allison took her cue to inch close to Hades who was watching the wholesome scene in front of them. "I can see that she loves the twins like her own," she whispered to him.

She felt his grip on her waist grow tighter. "It's because she was the one who raised them ever since they were born," he said, his voice suddenly sullen.

"You mean... your sister never had the time to take care of her children?" she asked him incredulously.

He nodded at her in reply. "That's right. When their father discovered that Hera is carrying them, he left her. Then when Jekyll and Hyde were born, my sister made herself a workaholic to provide what her children need."

"I see." She bit her inner cheek. The twins were somehow just like her, raised by people her parents paid to be by her side. "Where's your sister, Hera, then?" she asked.

"She went out on a business trip in Singapore, then sent them here for us to accompany," he shook his head in disbelief. "That woman should learn how to be a mother, not to be a successful businesswoman."

She just gave a stiff nod in return. She felt pity for the twins, they grew up in the care of another person's hands while their mother was busy providing them what they need. It reminded her of her parents. How they were always gone even though they already have more than what they needed. But she could understand Hera's side, her partner left her with children to raise.

"We need to go now, Sir Hades. It's time for them to sleep," said Nanny Kyla. Allison looked over the boys and saw Jekyll yawning.

Hades just nodded at her in reply. "Of course," he said before dawdling to the twins gave each a kiss on the forehead. "Sleep tight, boys."

"Aye aye, sir!" Hyde saluted at him.

"Sir, yes, sir!" Jekyll did the same.

He only chuckled at them in return. "Off you go now," he said before turning on his heel to face Allison. "Now, where were we?"

"Are you sure that I can leave you here?" Hades asked her worriedly before holding her waist and lifting her to sit on the high-end stool. She rolled her eyes at him for the nth time because of the dramatic stunt he just did.

"Hades, I've already told you that more than a dozen times already. And don't treat me like a baby, it makes me feel like one," she said, fighting the urge to pout at him.

He beamed at her before leaning sliding his hand down her arm then to her hand, lifting it up to kiss her knuckles. "You are my baby."

Unconsciously, her lips lifted into a smile, feeling mushy deep inside.

She pushed him lightly. "Seriously, just go now. You might get late for your business proposal."

"I can be late when I want, love. Remember, I'm always the boss," he winked at her with a playful smile on his lips.

"And I'm the boss of you," she teased, "And so I tell you to go now and attend your meeting. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

He heaved off a defeated sigh. "If you say so, boss. Just be careful of yourself, okay?" he caught her hand to kiss it again, lightly patting it with his other hand.

She nodded. "Of course."
