What if the truth wasn’t what it seemed?
All signs pointed to Alpha Kilian as their father, but what if that wasn’t the case? The intuition was strong, even surprising Tony. Ben leaned in, anxiously waiting for Tony’s response on the test results.
Donna’s eyes were fixed on Tony as well, filled with anticipation and anxiety. After what felt like a lifetime, Tony finally spoke up. “The courier and testing will take more time.”
Ben and Donna breathed a sigh of relief. “You scared us,” Ben said, patting his chest for reassurance.
“Promise me that no matter who Alpha Kilian is, you’ll stick by Mommy,” Tony stated firmly.
“Absolutely,” Ben assured. “That goes without saying.”
Donna nodded solemnly. “I may really like Daddy, but Mommy is irreplaceable in my heart.”
The three of them knew that Nelly had been their rock, raising them single-handedly and enduring judgment from others. Only they truly understood the countless nights she spent caring for them when they were sick or hurt.
Their real father could never replace Nelly, no matter how amazing he might be. Tony nodded in satisfaction. “Then you have my permission to like him.”
Instead of going home, they decided to return to school. Alpha Wade arrived shortly after, and they acted innocent as they followed him. Everything had been planned and timed perfectly.
Donna looked happily at Alpha Wade in the car. “How’s your friend, Gramps?”
He smiled. “He’s much better now.”
“That’s good,” she nodded. “Take care of yourself, Gramps.”
“Sure,” he replied, giving her an affectionate look, thinking she was a wonderful girl.
“Don’t worry. Gramps has Nelly to look after him. Nothing will happen to him. He’ll always be by our sides,” Ben added.
Tony vehemently agreed. “That’s right.”
Alpha Wade’s mood brightened at their interwoven remarks. If Alpha Larry knew about the kids, he would surely fight Alpha Wade for them. His life had been filled with joy, a joy that Alpha Larry had missed out on.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nelly went home and took a nap. When she woke up, the food was almost ready. She made her way to the couch, noticing the kids in the living room. They immediately started massaging her shoulders and feet, showering her with affection.
Donna locked eyes with Nelly, a burning gaze fixed upon her. “Nelly.”
“Yes?” Nelly drawled lazily.
“How are things between you and Mr. Alpha Zachary Lucas?” Donna asked.
Nelly frowned, almost forgetting about him until Donna brought him up. “Nothing much.”
“Have you two been in contact?” Donna continued questioning.
“Not since we had that meal together,” Nelly answered truthfully.
“Don’t you like Mr. Alpha Zachary Lucas?” Donna pressed, curious.
“He’s handsome, but I don’t like him in that way,” Nelly replied.
“What’s your type then, Nelly?” Donna asked, her gaze probing.
Suddenly, Alpha Kilian’s face flashed in Nelly’s mind. She shook her head, thinking she must be hallucinating. “Someone who’s good-hearted and has a good character.”
That should set Alpha Kilian apart, right?
“Mr. Alpha Zachary Lucas fits all your criteria,” Donna pointed out.
“But he hasn’t contacted me first, which means he’s not interested,” Nelly shrugged.
Donna frowned. “So you haven’t seen him since that meal?”
Nelly’s forehead creased in a frown, and Ben chimed in, confirming that they hadn’t seen him in a while either.
“He must be busy then,” Nelly said nonchalantly.
“Forget about him, Nelly. If Mr. Alpha Zachary Lucas isn’t meant for you, I can introduce someone else,” Donna grinned mischievously.
Nelly tilted her head. “Alright, Mommy’s happiness is in your hands now.”
“Leave it to me!” Donna promised earnestly. Nelly had never had high expectations of her anyway.
Alpha Wade overheard their conversation as he finished preparing dinner. “Parents usually spoil their kids, but it seems to be the opposite with you.”
“I can’t help it if I’m blessed,” Nelly said, pride shining on her face.
“Alright, let’s eat,” Alpha Wade declared.
Nelly stretched lazily. “Let’s eat!”
They shared a meal happily, enjoying each other’s company as a family.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Alpha Kilian was bewildered by Alpha Larry’s compliance to take his medicine. In the next moment, he saw Alpha Larry sneak a piece of candy from the table and pop it into his mouth. Alpha Kilian frowned. “Where did you get that?”
“A kid who looked just like you gave them to me,” Alpha Larry said with a smile.
Alpha Kilian thought he was joking and brushed it off. “Eat in moderation, it’s not good for you.”
Alpha Larry rolled his eyes. “Save it. I won’t take my medicine unless I have candy. And find out where to buy more of this particular candy.”
Alpha Kilian glanced at the vibrant wrapper and commented casually, “Those are just sweets to entice children.”
“Can’t you think of me as a child who needs to be convinced then? You know I hate taking medicine, but you’re still forcing me. I’ll only take it when you bring me the candy,” Alpha Larry retorted in exasperation.
Alpha Kilian nodded. “Deal. I’ll buy you some.”
“That’s the spirit.” Alpha Larry savored his candy, giving Alpha Kilian a sidelong glance before finally asking after a long pause. “When are you going to give me great-grandkids?”
“What great-grandkids?” Alpha Kilian pretended not to understand.
“Great-grandkids for me, for the Morris family!” Alpha Larry’s anger simmered.
Alpha Kilian’s heart wrenched at the thought of the twins Nelly had aborted.
