“Mom, just answer the damn proposal!” the twins spoke out in unison, unable to handle her hesitation anymore.
“Jesus! Fine! Yes, I would marry you,” she agreed.
What a great relief! My heart finally resumed its normal rhythm. I gently slid the ring into the appropriate finger and Ailee released a triumphant shout.
“Wait a minute,” Reina pulled back questioningly as soon as I leaned closer, “Were you just about to kiss me?”
“Yes? Any problem?” My brow arched.
“In front of the kids?”
She gestured to our children watching us intensely as if waiting for the very moment our lips connected.
“I’m sure they have no problem with their parent’s showing a slight display of affection to each other,”
As if to confirm my words, the kids pursed their lips and shrugged nonchalantly.
“But still -“
I took that opportunity to kiss her, silencing her excuses.
I heard “Ohh’s”?from the kids and the sound of a camera shutter but I didn’t care, focusing all my attention on this woman in my arm. I couldn’t believe it took a whole seven years to finally marry Maria Octavia.
So excited was I that immediately we pulled away from the kiss, I swept her off the ground. Reina screamed, grabbing onto my neck for support; I was just so happy.
We spent more time with the twins before Reina and I decided to go visit Isabella and as well, announce the good news to her.
We knocked on the door twice but when we got no response, I decided to go in; my hand intertwined with Reina’s when we got the shock of our lives.
Pedro and Isabella were making out – fiercely – like he was on top of her and my dear daughter didn’t seem to be complaining.
I didn’t even understand why I was angry but I cleared my throat so loud the boy fell from the bed.
“Dad?!” Isabella readjusted her cloth with an embarrassed look.
“Isabella,” My voice seemed fine but she clearly understood it wasn’t as it appeared; a storm was brewing underneath.
“I didn’t hear you come in,”
Isabella was low-key telling me that I should have knocked.
“I knocked but it seems you were busy – I understand why now,” my murderous glare trained on Pedro who had now risen to his feet.
“Hi sir Niles,” He breathed, accidentally meeting my dark gaze, “I think it’s high time I left already,”
“Yes, it’s time” I concurred.
“See you later, Isabella,” He waved and almost passed us by when I placed my hand on his shoulder, Pedro stiffened.
I squeezed his shoulder, he has grown fine, “We’ll talk about boundaries later, young man,”
“Of course,” Pedro gave me a forced smile.
“Now go,”
He fled.
Isabella rolled her eyes, “That was not cool, old man,”
“I’m your father and would supervise-“
“I don’t want to hear that,” she interrupted me, “Please,”
“We would have a long talk about your manners and sex life as soon as you’re okay,” I told her nonetheless her unwillingness to listen, “Now, how are you doing?”
“Fine, and please tell me you have good news for me,” She gestured at our intertwined hands with her eyes.
“Well, if you’re that interested, then you should know that Reina and I are getting married,”
“Figures,” said Isabella, not even half as excited as I expected. She added,
“No wonder, you’re grinning like a monkey,”
” I’ll take that as a compliment,” I was too happy to get angry.
“So finally Maria, you finally get to be my mother, huh?”
“I don’t remember much of my life as Maria,” She notified her.
“Works fine then, some things are not worth remembering. We’d just make new ones then,” Isabella for once behaved like a good kid.
Suddenly, a text came into my phone and I read it with a complicated expression.
“Reina,” I nudged her with my shoulder, making sure Isabella could not hear our conversation, “It’s Eden, he’s here at the hospital and he wants us to meet, says he has something we might need it,”
The third point of view:
“You were right about me,” Eden said to them, “Your father Adam is the real owner of this position. I’m just his puppet, a paper tiger,” he confessed.
Niles didn’t know what changed Eden’s mind but it seems he was tired of the situation. No wonder he called them over to say this.
