You look like Santa Clause, the white version. It even gave you a beard." She giggled some more, clenching onto her stomach to stop herself from laughing so hard.There were a lot of things she had seen, but seeing Adrian like this was full time hilarious. She couldn't stop laughing despite the fact that her cheek had turned red, and so did her eyes.

    "Mom!" The realization hit them, as they stared at each other with worry on their faces. Never have they been in this kind of mess. Their mother was the main reason why they were into this kind of thing. She was opening up to the man she thought was her husband."I can't believe mom would do this to us. Why did she do that to us? It's like she doesn't care about us at all." Eva was fuming. Her eyes were red, and she glared at no one in particular as she stomped her feet.

What are you trying to say now?" Adrian blew air through his mouth, and his hands ran through his hair. "I don't know how it happened. This was pretty unexpected. It wasn't my fault, and I don't know what to do." He was freaking out, and didn't know what to do. His heart kept thudding in his chest before he turned to his sister who was looking so worried about him."Tell me what happened. Who is carrying your child? You haven't been with a woman since your appearance." "You're right. I've not been with anyone since I returned back, but that's the problem. The only woman I was with was the one who came to me. My ex wife." Ev
