Chapter 52
Everyone is laughing happily because of Lana and Inah’s stories. There is no denying that Inah inherited from me, I also can’t say if Evan is from their father because it’s also naughty. We are currently in the kitchen for our dinner. I didn’t speak anymore because I was so tired and drowsy, I just focused on eating.
“Veron? Do you have a walk tomorrow?” uncle Zenos suddenly asked.
I turned around and nodded. “Yes, I will probably go to the Lhorious Company as well as the condo,” I replied.
“Just leave your children here first, I have a lot of questions for the children,” Nikasha glared at me.
I turned to the two. They just stared at Nikasha, Van whispered correctly and Inah nodded slightly. They are talking about angry birds again.
“I can’t take them there, so I’ll leave them here,” I replied again.
“Ahhh. So you’re still coming back here?” she asked again.
“Most likely, my children are here,” I answered directly.
“Ahhh, I thought— nevermind,” she said with a smile.
I didn’t scold her anymore because I knew she was just teasing. We finished our dinner and some went straight to the living room to continue the story. I simply widen my eyes at Inah, every time she tickles she immediately becomes silent.
“Mama,” Inah whispered.
“Hmm?” It acted to bring my face closer so I bowed a little because of what she would whisper.
“There’s no Aunt Zeren,” she muttered when I left.
“Yah, Aunt Zeren is not here, where is she mama?” Van asked in a whisper.
I noticed that she wasn’t here, but she hadn’t come home from her bussines trip that he said recently.
“She’s not here. She can come home next day, why?” I also asked that they quickly needed to be looking at the others.
I noticed that aunt and uncle were silent because of us. They still couldn’t believe it because of our sudden return, especially since they didn’t expect me to bring home two children. I also couldn’t escape their questions about whether these two are really my children.
“Sounds new huh. The kids know how to whisper, but the mother… She knows too,” Nikasha said laughing as I widened my eyes.
I noticed the cup of it, drinking that maybe she was the coffee I brought. We are also not complete now in the mansion due to others ’bussines trips and work.
“Your eyes are different from your mom’s huh,” Lucas whispered next to the children.
Van nodded quickly then sat up. “Have you seen your dad yet?” Lucas asked as I glared at him immediately but it didn’t move.
I wanted to have another conversation to avoid Lucas’ question, but I knew my actions were obvious now, so I chose to keep quiet.
“No. Ahm, Aunt Lana said, Papa is tall, that’s how it is!” She stood up and then squatted down.
Smile to stand between Lucas thighs. “Dad seems to be look dark aura, dad seems to be beating mom’s ass—”
“Inah, Van let’s go. Let’s go to sleep,” I said strictly then stood up.
Van quickly stood up and immediately took my hand. Inah nodded and marked her lip. “Go to sleep,” I said again then she broke away from Lucas and clung to me.
They kissed their grandfather and said goodbye to the others and then we went upstairs. I don’t like what I did before but I also don’t want them to say anything.
The next day I woke up early, about five o’clock maybe I decided to leave the room where the two were sleeping. I was simply wearing it because I would just sign something with the company and return to my condo that was left in the care of Nelly.
“Wazzup Veron,” Lucas greeted with a wide grin. Still nothing has changed.
“Where you going?”
“Looking for a sugar daddy,” I answered simply then winked at him.
He was holding the bread he was chewing and he didn’t even have any clothes on, which caused his large body to be exposed. I went up to the living room because uncle was there with the paperwork.
“I thought you still found a sugar daddy, weak,” he teased.
“If you don’t stop, I’ll strangle you,” I said.
I turned my back on it and finally went to uncle looking at us. It crouched then stood up.
“I’m leaving, you take care of them first,” I said with a smile.
“Is it okay for me to include them in the company? I want them to be recognized as my grandchildren,” he winked.
“Sure. Maybe I’ll be late when I get home. It’s not difficult to feed them, Inah is a bit naughty, they also sleep in the afternoon and will definitely look for me,” I explained with a smile as he nodded.
“I’ll take care of it. Come back right away,” he smiled and then I nodded and kissed his cheek.
I left the mansion at that time, too early so that the traffic that seemed to only exist in the Philippines would not reach me. I feel like I’m crawling again in every place I have to go. It was seven o’clock when I arrived at the Lhorious Company. I received a smile from the guard and showed my previous ID. I entered immediately and quickly searched the conference room where the meeting referred to by Mama A would take place. My former co-workers opened up to me, even more shocked when I arrived.
“Veronika?! The villain is here!” gay shouts often split my food.
“It’s different! It looks like she didn’t give birth, so who is the father of the two little ones?” question of a gay putting lipstick on face.
“You, let’s go to bed,” I normally said as they quickly laughed.
It just grinned and I stopped walking when I noticed a shake in the center, I just smiled at it then sat down in my previous seat. The chatter would not have stopped and many others would have asked if Mama A had not come. When she was here in the Philippines or at work, it was strict. I just listened, I found out that we were going to attend another event the next day. I didn’t totally lose my job here because I didn’t resign so I’m comfortable, it’s just like I’m on vacation in Spain. I will do my duty again at my job.
After that I decided to go straight to the building where I was staying on my way home from work. I was amazed because nothing had really changed, the guard was still so shocked when we caught sight of him inside my car. I went downstairs and took off my shade, I was wearing only a black jumpsuit and a simple ponytail of hair.
“Ma’am Veronika? Is that you?” it’s a wrinkled question.
I smiled then nodded slowly. “You’re serious, of course. Is my unit still alive?” I asked with a smile as she nodded quickly.
“Yes ma’am, in fact, Nelly watches over it every day, just wait, I’ll just call,” she said as she quickly left in front of me.
They still haven’t changed, they were my family when I wasn’t in the mansion then, I’m so indebted to them. Nelly also has the key because I left one at home in Spain. After a while, the woman who didn’t look faded appeared to me, just as I left her then, she still looks the same now.
“Ma’am Azusa?! It’s just a child, are you here yet?” its question hurriedly running towards me.
I even laughed when it almost broke, my demon really. “Just yesterday, I just wanted to say hello to the unit as well as you,” I said with a smile.
As she walked towards the unit she told stories about what she had experienced. I also found out that she was almost evicted from here because she was accused of stealing a new move, she said it was a good thing and she was defended by the locals who have lived here for a long time.
My unit opened up to me, very clean, what it looked like when I left it with her was still so. I couldn’t help but smile and quickly kiss Nelly.
“Thank you really ah, next time, I’ll give it to you,” I whispered then pulled her into the unit.
“It’s enough, for me to come back. Because ma’am, I’ll give you something too, there’s also a man who looks at your unit as often,” she whispered as we sat on the sofa.
I cringed and couldn’t help but worry. “Why?”
“Eh, because Ma’am, there was a man who used to come back here again and again, the one you used to be with, I kept asking when you were supposed to go home. Oh! Of course, just wait, I hid it the envelope he gave me four years ago,” he said hurriedly then went straight to my room.
I was suddenly nervous, I knew who she was referring to, because I once took him here and others saw it.
“This is it,” she reached for a thin envelope.
That envelope was still very white and could not be opened because of its proximity. I stood up in my seat because I felt like I was going to explode.
“Wait ma’am, I’ll just get you something to eat,” Nelly said then I nodded.
When I heard the door close I started to read what it was. At the very beginning of the paper I could feel my sweat, my heart pounding.
My A. A …
“A. A?
A-Azusa … Arcus.”
