“Alistair and Amelia! My babies, your auntie misses you so much!” Kaela went to the twins when we arrived at Escarrer’s mansion. The twins’ grandparents requested us to spend the weekend with them in their mansion.It’s been a month since the issue with Mr. Ventura happened. The company became so busy because of the two projects. Engineers from CIC started to execute the project and I can’t wait to see the final execution of the project. “Ellie, can you consider living here with the twins? I want to spend time with them every day.” Kaela said for the nth time.Whenever she visits us in the penthouse or their mansion, she always offers me to live with them here in the mansion. “You can visit the twins in my penthouse every day if you want to spend time with them every day. You are always welcome.” I just said.She pouted her lips. I’m amazed that she still offers me to live with them even though she always receives the same reply.“Kaela stops annoying Ellie,” Ulie said to his sist
“What if she asks you to give Ulie to her, will you give her what she wants?”My forehead furrowed. “Why are you asking me this kind of question? Did something happen?”He shrugged. “Nothing. I was just curious. The Adelson didn’t do anything when the Escarrer cancel the marriage that they have agreed on.”He has a point, even I, myself were quite surprised when the Adelson didn’t make any move nor reaction to Escarrer’s sudden decision.“What do you think?” He asked me.I heaved a sigh. “I’m don’t know. I don’t know them personally, I have no idea how they think.”“I know Hadley. We were classmates in college when I studied abroad.”What? Is that for real? So it's safe to say that he knew him quite well.“Are you guys close?” I curiously ask.Honestly, I am interested in her when Ulie told me that she was the girl he was supposed to marry. Hadley Adelson has a good reputation in the business world. She was the heiress of Adelson Hotels. I heard that she was good at handling their bus
Ulie is clingy these past few days. It all started when I told him that Nick and I are friends. I see him in my office every lunchtime, and he will invite me to have lunch with him. I can’t reject him because he will always assume that the reason why I am rejecting him is because of Nick.One time I have a lunch meeting with someone. We are having our breakfast when I inform him about my lunch meeting.He said to me. “Are you sure that it's a business lunch meeting, or you will just meet Nick?”I rolled my eyes. “Why will I lie to you? I will meet Ms. Hernandez to discuss a potential project with them.” “Are you sure? Why did you set that meeting at lunchtime? I can call her if you want. I will ask her to move your meeting to 2 pm.”My jaw dropped. “Seriously, Ulie, what is happening to you? You were acting like a paranoid husband.”I saw him averting his gaze. “Fine. Let’s have lunch tomorrow then.” He said in defeat.Aside from invading my lunchtime, he is also invading my phone.
“Are my babies ready?” I smile at Ulie as I showed him the twins. Today is their dedication day in the Church and also their official appearance to the public (with media).“They are so beautiful.” Ulie utter as he gives the twins kisses.“Of course they are. We are their parents, it’s already given.” I confidently said to him.He chuckled. “Mommy is getting cocky here. But we can’t deny that she is correct. Right babies?”The twins giggle as if they understand what we told them.I can’t help myself but give those two lots of kisses.“Finally you guys are here!” Kaela said as she went to us the moment our car arrived at the hotel parking space.The church venue is in the Laertes Hotel ballroom. The church is renting the said room for church service.“We are not yet late Kaela. Stop overreacting!” Ulie hissed at his sister.Kaela pouted her lips. “I just miss the twins, brother. Let’s go inside already, everyone is waiting”She went to me to carry Amelia while I was carrying Alistair.
Time flies so fast. Many unexpected things happened. Who would have thought that my plan of having someone to be with will come to this?I only want to have a child of my own, but God gave me more. He gave me a great partner-not romantically, but he can still be considered as family. Ulysses is a great dad to my soon-to-be five years old twin. Aside from Ulie, God gave me his family. It’s like a package deal.I couldn’t ask for more. I am very contented with my life right now, not to mention how my company grew for the past five years. We are now one of the in-demand architecture and engineering companies.Our company starts receiving clients abroad. My parent's vision for the company is now happening. I am sure that they are happy with all the company’s achievements.Speaking of international clients, we are currently waiting for Mr. Schulz of Schulz Technologies. Schulz Technologies are planning to have their office building here in the country.Most international clients, especia
“I heard that you had a meeting with Mr. Schulz?”I smiled and nodded at uncle Laertes. “Yes, Uncle. They are planning to have Schulz Tech's first office building here in the Philippines.”We are currently eating our dinner together as a family.“I assume that you already close the deal.”“I haven't closed the deal yet, but I will am confident that I will,” I said confidently.I am confident to say this because I know my capability and my subordinates as well. We proved that already for the past years.“What happened, Ellie? What's stopping them from giving you the deal?” Kaela curiously asks.“Nothing happens, Kaela, don’t worry. It's just that they wanted to see our design first before signing a contract with us, which is the standard in this industry. The client has the right to look for another Architect if they are not happy with the building design.” Kaela looks irritated, which made me confused. “That Quen is demanding! He always acts as if he was a king or something. Ugh!” “
My interest in Hadley Adelson started when Nick told me about her, how he became close with Ulie because of her. After I talked with Ulie about his friendship with Mr. Schulz, my interest in Hadley grew. I suddenly wonder, does Ulie like Hadley Adelson too?I could not ask him to elaborate on why his friendship with Mr. Schulz was ruined because of Hadley Adelson. After he told me that Hadley is the reason why their friendship was over, Amelia woke up and she was looking for us. We had no choice but to finish our conversation and go to Amelia to get her back to sleep.If I am not mistaken, Ulie wanted to cancel the wedding, and I don’t see why Mr. Schulz will get angry with Ulie. Unless Ulie also has a feeling with Hadley Adelson, he had no choice but to let her go because of his friendship with Mr. Schulz. I remember Nick told me that Hadley is in love with Ulie. Maybe, that’s the reason why Ulie’s friendship with Mr. Schulz is over. Well, all of these were all my assumptions. Nothi
In a few weeks, my twins will turn five. We all agreed that we will celebrate the twins’ birthday in Kade Quinn Island along. We invited some family friends like Nick, Luna, and Jace. The twins invited their close friends, some of them are with their parents, some are with their nannies.The preparation for the twins’ birthday is done. I ask Kaela for some help in managing the said party because I want to focus on my presentation with Mr. Schulz. My team and I are now having overtime to make sure that our presentation with Mr. Schulz tomorrow will be perfect. When I reach home, the twins are already asleep. I watch them sleep peacefully for a few minutes, then I kiss them and whisper to them good night. I was about to go to my room when I saw Ulie come out of his room.“You just got home?” He asked.I nodded at him. “Yes. We reviewed our presentation for tomorrow. We want to make sure that we are not missing anything. We want it to be perfect.”He went to me and hugged me. “I’m sure
