Chapter 30: Lisa's Arrival

POV Marchel.

I was very surprised when this woman I didn't know pulled my hand until I sat down.

Who is she and what do you want? Honestly, I'm not comfortable with the nature of this woman.

“Accompany me first until Cynthia comes. Do you want to leave the guests who are in your house?” The woman kept on whining which made me uncomfortable.

I glanced at Calix who was now also looking at the woman whose name I knew was Lisa.

“You're tall enough, Cynthia is back to just make Caecilia milk. She'll be back in a bit." I don't want to linger any longer.

I still got up from my seat to enter the room.

The arrival of this strange woman bothered me. Even I noticed that the woman also didn't talk much to the children or even to Cynthia. What does that girl want?

I also saw Cynthia as if she was uncomfortable with her presence. So from that I decided to go back to accompany Calix to sleep.

When I wanted to enter the room, I crossed paths with Cynthia who was about to return to meet her guests.

"Where are you going?" Cynthia asked me.

"I want to sleep with Clix, he said he wants to sleep. It's okay, right?" I asked Cynthia.

Cynthia nodded and smiled at me. "Okay then, I'll meet Lisa first."

I returned Cynthia's smile sincerely, and after that, Cynthia went to the guest house again.

While I continued towards the room with Calix in my arms.

Arriving at the room, Calix didn't close her eyes either, the man just looked at me with a look that I didn't know myself.

"What's wrong with staring at Dad like that? Is there anything you'd like to say?” I asked when Calix didn't look away either.

Calix shook her head, the man then got up from his sleep. Of course, I'm getting confused.

It didn't take long for Cleo to come into the room. The little man was also looking at me with an unreadable gaze.

I am confused by their behavior. Actually, what's wrong with them?

"Cleo, what's wrong?" I asked Cleo.

I'm very confused by the behavior of the two little guys!

I saw Cleo walking towards me and climbing the bed together with Calix.

The two little men looked at each other, then smiled a little which made me so confused.

"Dad, why are you leaving? Do you know? That woman is looking for you," Cleo blurted out suddenly.

I was of course surprised to hear that. Why is that girl looking for me?

After all, he had nothing to do with Cynthia, right? Seeing his behavior that seemed to ask a lot of questions with me alone made me uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable! Even the children were not asked about the woman. What is it really for?

Small gifts? Akh, I've never even seen anyone close and concerned with Cynthia.

Then what was with that woman that came all of a sudden? What exactly do I not know here?

After all, I still believe he is not close to Cynthia.

"Did the guest talk to you earlier, Cleo?" Cleo nodded in answer to my question.

I am of course more curious about what that woman asked my son.

"What did that woman say to you?"

"He asked what job you did."

"Then what do you answer?" I asked increasingly curious.

"I didn't answer, I just ran to meet you here. The guest is in front of Mom." I nodded understanding.

Job, huh? Why do I feel that woman is looking for a lot of information about me?

Isn't it like that? Or is it just my feeling?

Yes, maybe it's just me. I wouldn't mind this. Instead of getting worse later.

"So Cleo is here to sleep too?" I asked Cleo.

The little man shook his head with a very cute facial expression. "No."

I'm confused by my son's answer, why come to the room if you don't want to rest?

"Then what is it?"

"Dad, we want to take a bath with you!" Cleo said loudly.

I was surprised, but a few seconds later I chuckled at their words. So adorable!

I also have no experience in terms of bathing a child. Maybe this will be my first experience.

"Okay, let's take a bath with me."

“Yeah!” shouted both excitedly.

As an amateur, I bathe my children. It feels very happy, of course.

I also put their clothes on after they finished bathing. It was also five o'clock in the afternoon, but I didn't see any sign of the guest coming home either.

"Dad, Mom's guest, why is it taking so long?" asked Calix suddenly.

I looked at my son who was neat and fragrant, my hand reached out to rub the handsome little man.

I don't know how I feel or what, but those two people are very similar to me. That face looks like a duplicate of mine.

Isn't that obvious, but stupidly I didn't believe it and went back to looking for more evidence.

"What is it? You want something?” I asked.

"There isn't any."

"You want something?" I repeated when there was no answer from Calix.

Again and again, Calix just shook his head.

“You want to eat? How? Want to?" Calix and Cleo nodded firmly.

I then went to the kitchen to get my son some food. There I could also see Cynthia who was preparing dinner.

“Cynthia, you're already here apparently. Has your guest returned yet?” I asked as I walked closer to Cynthia.

“Not yet, I prepared dinner for us. Looks like Lisa is also coming to dinner," she answered.

"Where is she now?"

"In the living room," she replied.

"Want me to help?"

"No need, Marchel. It will be over soon. What are you doing in the kitchen? Does anyone want to? I'll get it."

“I'm going to get some snacks and milk for the kids. They said they were hungry," I answered plainly.

I can see Cynthia stopping her activities and then looking at me intently.

I was stared at like that and of course very confused. "What's wrong, Cynthia?"

“Don't give the kids snacks yet, Marchel. It's about midnight. What if they are full before dinner?” she said to me.

Full? Isn't that a good thing? Then why is it a problem?

"Isn't that good?" I asked.

Cynthia walked towards me and then tiptoed to brush my hair. I was dumbfounded by it.

Suddenly my heart was beating faster than before.

"If it's like that then they won't eat the food I made, Marchel.."

I unconsciously smiled faintly in response to Cynthia's words.

"Then let me eat it. Done, right?" Cynthia hit my shoulder lightly after I said that.

"You are!"

"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly interrupted me and Cynthia.

I immediately headed towards the source of the sound, there I could see Lisa looking at me and Cynthia with a surprised face.

“Lisa…” Cynthia said quietly.

“Yes, I, um... will help you cook. Yes, right?" she asked.

Cynthia nodded awkwardly. I can see from the look on her face that she is uncomfortable.

Lisa then came closer to me and Cynthia, the woman also patted my shoulder several times.

"Where have you been?" she asked.

I just replied with a small smile without intending to reply to her words. Not a few minutes later Lisa's cell phone rang.

I can read the name "Robert" on it. I squinted my eyes while looking at the girl who rejected the call.

Robert? What does this woman have to do with Robert?

I can also see two incoming calls but no one picks up, instead, the candy turns off the phone.

“Akh, this is nobody,” she said to me.

I don't care about that, but somehow that woman said that.

I walked away to get the milk box. Looks like going back to the nursery is better.

I could tell Cynthia didn't feel comfortable watching me and Lisa interact.

I also don't want Cynthia to feel even more uncomfortable.

When I returned to my son's room, it didn't take long for Lisa to come in.

Oh, what's wrong with that girl? She also brought a tray of cakes.

Lisa walked over with a big smile.

"Hey, I brought this cake as a souvenir. But you don't even taste it. Don't you want to try? It's delicious, I guarantee it," said Lisa.

"I want, I want!" screamed Calix, raising her hands.

I saw Lisa handing the cake to Calix, and after that Lisa handed the tray of cake to me.

I stared at Lisa in confusion, confused that she had gotten into the room.

“You don't want it, Marchel? It's very delicious, I'm sure you will be addicted after eating this cake,” she said to me, still holding out the cake.

"I'll do it later, if I want I'll get it myself," I said.

But it looks like she didn't end there. She still insistently told me to eat the cake she brought.

"I don't want to."

"Ah, alright then. Can I be here?" I am again and again confused by this woman in front of me.

Didn't she say that the woman said she wanted to help Cynthia in the kitchen? So why did she get here?

"Don't you want to help Cynthia in the kitchen?"

“Eh, s-sh. Cynthia doesn't want me to help, huh? She doesn't want me to help. I'm sad because I wasn't permitted to petrify her,” said the woman.

I shook my head slowly while laughing lightly, ah, there's just this woman. How could Cynthia refuse her help?

“Okay, I'm going to the kitchen to help Cynthia. I'm asking for your help to stay here with my son." After saying that I got up from my seat and left Lisa who was stunned.

I'm not a stupid guy, of course, it's just a subterfuge. I also do not want to interact with that woman for a long time.

I'd rather just be with Cynthia in the kitchen, right? We'll see what other alibis the woman will come up with.
