Planned Baby

Chapter 50 Verify

Despite the buzz that Hadley created, our family was not affected. We live as if nothing happens.

Ulie and I decided to just ignore all Hadley’s antics. As long as we know what the truth is, we don’t need to be affected by her. If we reacted to her schemes, then she will just continue to push it.

Hadley should realize that she has a zero chance to win Ulie.

Today is Saturday, one of our favorite days of the week. But Sunday is our most favorite day of the week because aside from our family bonding, it is also a day to worship God. We have so many things to thank God for.

We were having breakfast when I notice Amelia’s sad face.

“Hey sweetie, are you okay?” I asked with full concern.

“Mom are you sure that dad is your boyfriend?” Amelia asked.

My forehead creased. “Why are you asking that sweetie? Don’t you trust me and your dad?”

Amelia shook her head. “Of course I trust the both of you. It's just that...”

Amelia looks hesitant. I look at Alistair, he also looks sad. I'm sure he knows what’s going on with her sister.

“Alistair, can you tell me what happens to your sister? Why is she questioning my relationship with your dad?” I asked Alistair instead.

Ulie was just silent. He was observing the situation.

“Mom, do you know who is Hadley Adelson?” Alistair ask.

My eyes widen. Why are they asking me if I know Hadley? Have they met her? Is that why my children are acting like this?

I can feel my head boiling from anger. If my hunch is right, I don't know what I will do to her.

I was busy contemplating on what to do to Hadley when I felt Ulie’s hand on mine. I look at him and he mouthed ‘calm down.’

I tried my best to calm down. I need to focus on my children. I will just deal with her later.

“Why are you asking me if I know her? Did you meet her?” I ask Alistair.

Alistair shakes his head. I heaved a heavy sighed of relief from his answer.

“Then why are you asking me if I know her?” I asked again.

Alistair's tears started to well up. “Because my classmate is saying that our dad will marry that girl.”

My eyes widen. “Where did they get that idea?”

“It was written all over the newspaper. They even showed us those newspapers.” Amelia butted in.

How come those kids know how to gossip at a young age?

Ulie squeezes his hand on mine. I look at him.

“Let me be the one to explain this to them.” He said then he kisses me on my temple.

“Kids listen to daddy. Your mom and I never lied to you. We will never will. But can you elaborate to us what exactly happens? How did they tell you about it?” Ulie asks the twins.

“We told our classmate that you and mom are finally together and soon mom will have the same surname as us.” Alistair started the story.

“But one of our classmates, Ian said otherwise. He told us that you and mom are lying to us. Mom will never be Escarrer because dad is marrying someone else. And that girl will take daddy away from us because they have their children and if that happens dad doesn’t need us anymore.” Amelia added then she started to cry.

I went to her and hug her. “Stop crying baby that will never happen,” I assured her.

“I grab his collar and told him that he should shut up because what he just said is not true. But he said he has proof. He asks me to let him go and he will show us the proof.” Alistair continues the story.

“I let him go. He went to his desk and got something from his bag. He showed the whole class three different newspapers with the same headline announcing your marriage with a girl named Hadley Adelson.” Alistair said.

“Then all our classmates except my best friend started to tease us. Telling us that dad will soon abandon us. Is that true dad? You will marry that girl and you will abandon us?” Amelia said while crying so hard.

Alistair wasn’t able to stop himself from crying. My heart is hurting seeing them now. I look at Ulie, my tears starting to well up.

“Kids look into daddy’s eyes. I will never lie to you. I will never marry any other woman except for your mother. And I will never leave you. You two and your mom are my life. I can’t live without you.” Ulie said to give the children the assurance that they need.

“But what about the article in the newspaper?” Alistair asked.

Ulie sighed aloud. “What those writers wrote in the article are not true. They are just making an assumption.”

“But you had a date with her!” Amelia insists.

“That is not a date. I just met her because I need to settle things with her.” Ulie explained himself.

“But you hug her!” Amelia hissed.

Ulie chuckles. “It’s just a friendly hug. It has no malice.”

“But...” Amelia tries to think of a rebuttal.

“Princess, you must believe us. We are your parents. We will never lie to you and your brother. And you saw me always kissing your mom. If I am marrying another woman then why will your mom allow me to kiss her?” Ulie said.

“But you are always kissing mommy even before you announce that you guys are finally together.” Amelia snort.

I can’t help myself from laughing because the kids are right.

I saw Ulie blushed. He looks so cute.

He cleared his throat. “Well, your mom allowed me because I don't have any other girls. And deep down inside, your mom already loves me.”

My eyes widen from his claim. I hit his shoulder.

“Feeling!”

Then the kids chuckled. I smile knowing that they are okay now.

We are going to the airport today to fetch Kaela.

The kids are excited especially, Alistair. I was surprised by Kaela’s plan of going back this soon. She told me before she left for the US that she will stay for a year or more.

“Mom when will auntie Kaela’s plane arrive? I'm so excited to see her! I miss her so much!” Alistair asks impatiently.

I messed up Alistair's hair and smile. “Your aunt will be here any minute now. Did you hear the announcement a while ago?”

Alistair nodded.

“That is your auntie’s plane, it only means that their plane already landed here in the airport. You need to learn how to wait Alistair.” I told him.

“But we are waiting for more than an hour.” Alistair hissed.

“Stop acting like that Alistair. What did your mom tell you, young man?” Ulie butted in.

“Learn how to wait,” Alistair said in a low voice.

Ulie is good at disciplining the kids. My heart is too soft when it comes to them.

“Then wait. Stop complaining because you can’t do anything but wait for your aunt.” Ulie said in an authoritative tone.

“Yes, dad,” Alistair said then he went to me to hug me. “Sorry, mom.”

“No worries sweetie.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Alistair! Amelia!”

We all look in the direction of the voice who called the twins. And it's none other than Kaela.

Kayla went straight to the kid. She hugs and kisses them. I also saw Enrique following her.

I look at Ulie. He just shrugged.

We all went straight to Escarrer’s mansion and yes, Enrique is also with us.

“Auntie, what is he doing here? Don’t he have a car?” Amelia innocently asks.

I tried my best not to laugh while Ulie didn't bother to stop himself from laughing. He laughs so loud that made Enrique a bit irritated.

“He has a car baby. It's just that he wanted to be a dog of your aunt.” Ulie explains.

“You want to be a dog uncle? But that’s impossible.” Amelia said full of concern.

We all laugh at Amelia’s response.

I saw Enrique clench his jaw and then smile at my daughter.

“Don’t believe your dad. I am not a dog and I don't want to be one.” Enriquez tried his best to explain himself to my daughter.

“But my dad never lied to us.”

Ulie and I laughed hard. Ulie’s promise that he will never lie to them was still fresh from them. No wonder, Amelia believe his dad.

Ulie faked a cough. “Princess, I don't mean that he is literally a dog. What I mean is, he does what dogs do to their owner and that is following them wherever they go. In your uncle’s case, his owner was your Aunt. That is why he is with us now.” Ulie explained further.

“Oh, so you love my auntie?” Amelia finally gets it.

Enriquez smile and nodded at him. “Yes, princess. I love your aunt.”

“Quen can you stop? Don’t say silly things to Amelia!” Kaela acted irritated but it's so obvious that she likes what he heard from Enrique. She was blushing.

“I am not. I’m just telling her the truth.” Enriquez said in a teasing tone.

Kaela rolled her eyes but her face still blushing. “Whatever!”

“Don’t you like him, auntie?” Alistair curiously asks.

“Why Alistair? Do you want me to love that guy? I thought you want to be with me forever?” Kaela said in a childish tone.

“I do love you, auntie. But if you will not accept uncle, then I will not have a cousin. My dad says that if you accept him, I will have a cousin from you soon.” Alistair innocently said.

Kaela’s eyes widen. Her face became redder.

“You are right young man. If you want to have a cousin then help me to convince your aunt to accept me. I promise you that I will give you a cousin in a year or two.”

“Quen!!!”
