" mommy read us a story, carzel gave me the puppy eye look as I tucked them in bed, Carzel was a very playful kid always running around the place doing nothing in particular, Harden was Abit like her sister but Abit reserved and loved watching babie movies, Densel was the complete opposite of his sister's, his always quite, and behaves bigger than his age, you'll always find in the corner either scrolling through his laptop or drawing a picture of his sister's, Densel was the mini version of Carden.
" Yes momma please, Harden joined her sister. I read them a story of mother hen and her kids.
" Mommy why is mother Hen the only one protecting her kids,
" I'll love for papa cock to protect me if I was a chick, Carzel and Harden chiggle.
" Mommy is uncle Liam our Daddy, Densel asked drifting completely out of the topic.
" No dear, I kissed him on the forehead, uncle Liam is your uncle, mommy's childhood best friend.
" All our friends in school have Daddy's momma, why don't we have one, Carzel's gray eyes glitters as the question left her lips.
" Does Daddy not like us momma, Harden asked Abit sad.
'" of course he loves you so much babies, just that Daddy lives very far away in another country, and once you'll grow big just like me and your uncle Liam, then we'll definitely go and meet your daddy.
My answer seems to have convinced them Abit but I know Densel wouldn't stop untill he gets the answers he wants.
" Time to sleep, the girls smuggle on their bed after wetting my cheeks with their kisses.
" How long will it take us to be big like you and uncle Liam momma. Densel asked as I wrapped him under his duvet.
" Very soon sweetheart, if you eat well and finish your milk then you'll be as big as your uncle Liam in no time,
I love you baby, I kissed him every where before leaving the room.
While outside my mind couldn't stop wondering what I'll have to tell them when they grow up.
" Hazel dear, mom's voice called," are you alright? you look worried.
" Am fine mom, the kids just wouldn't stop asking about their father, it scares me how much they grow and reason mom, and I think I'm running out of excuses to give them.
Mom hugs me tenderly, I have only come this far because of her love and support.
" Do you think Carden will ever forgive me mother, I rob the engagement ring on my finger slightly.
" You should stop thinking about that for now and concentrate on your new life dear. I have seen how much Liam loves and care for you, he's the only one who can get Carden off your mind, and I pray your heart could warm up to him one day and give your kids the Daddy they've always wanted. Mother was right, but no matter how much I try to love Liam it just doesn't work, I like him just as a friend. Mother and I chatted for Abit before retreating to our rooms.
Immediately I entered my room the lights turned on, roses were scattered at every corner, dimly litted candles displays everywhere and at the far end stood to tables with a bottle of champagne.
" I know I couldn't get you out of your room to go have dinner with me, " so I brought dinner to you. Liam walked in holding a rose in his right hand,
" Liam you really didn't...
" Shhhh, he placed a finger on my lips as we stood inches away from each other, with one kneel he went down.
" Hazel, I Know this isn't the right time to do this, but I want you to know I have always loved you since we were kids, I never stopped thinking about you when I was away, and all this year's the love i had for you seemed to have doubled, this 4 years has been the best years of my life, with you and the kids, please can you give me the chance to be The kids Father, please give me the chance to show you how much I love you, am not asking for you to love me back, just let me love you the way you should, my eyes gradually fill with tears, tears of not being able to reciprocate Liams love towards me, tears of not being able to give my kids the Daddy they've always wanted. I stretch my hand taking the rose in Liams hand, if I really wanted to start a new life, then this should be the first step to it.
" I appreciate every effort you make to ensure our happiness Liam. I want you to teach me, teach me how to love again but please I'll like us to take it gradually. He nods with a bright smile, leading me to the table he pulls a chair for me as he sat at the other end.
After a long dinner date with Liam, he left the room as he kissed me on the forehead.
I went back inside, change into comfortable clothes and went to bed.
A private jet landed at a jet terminal in Denmark as Carden and Ethan walk out. A car was waiting for them and they got in without wasting much time. Ethan had insisted on driving because Carden was clearly not in his right mine. Few hours later they pulled up Infront of a luxurious suit at the outscatch of the city.
Another car pulled up few minutes later as a tall dark man dressed in a black suit came out and approached them holding a file.
" Did you get what I asked you, the man nodded as he open the file and placed it before Carden.
" She goes by name Juliana Thomson and is married to Mr Liam Watson, son of Mr Jeffrey Watson, owners of the Watsons group of companies, they have 3 little toddlers, Harden, Carzel and Densel. Carden after getting the name of his kids stood up immediately.
