Chapter 122
The car screeched to a halt in front of Lisa’s compound. Lisa opened the door from inside and alighted the car.
She opened the passenger seat and carried Isabella out of the car then closed the door. She walked inside the house and noticed everywhere was so damn quiet.
She helped Isabella sit on the couch in the sitting room.
“Bella’s” she called out and suddenly she saw Arabella running down the stairs at full speed.
“Arabella careful!!” Lisa heard her nanny scream at once.
“Oh my goodness” Lisa quickly stood up and rushed to the stairs. Just as Arabella was about to slip, Lisa was quick enough to hold her. She had almost hit her head on the ground.
“Oh Jesus! Arabella what were you thinking by running down the stairs ” Lisa yelled at her. She felt so scared when she saw Arabella running down the stairs that way. She was sure Isabella was running that way on the school stairs and broke her leg.
“I’m sorry mommy,” Arabella said and pouted. Her eyes were already teary.
“Please don’t do that again! Don’t run the stairs that way. It’s too dangerous. What if you had fallen and broken your leg or your head? How do you want mommy to feel?” Lisa said as she wiped her daughter’s tears.
“I’m sorry mommy,” Arabella said and Lisa sighed softly.
“It’s alright, come here,” she said and hugged her. Just then she saw Clarabella and Annabella walking down the stairs gently with their nanny behind them.
“Mommy” they called and hugged Lisa.
“Welcome ma’am, ” the nanny said with her head bowed and Lisa hummed.
“You can go home now. Make sure of your resume early tomorrow morning ” Lisa said to the nanny and she nodded in response.
“Bye kids” Their nanny waved at them before walking out of the house.
After that Lisa turned to the kids. “Have you guys had dinner?” She asked
“No mommy” they echoed at once and Lisa smiled.
“Mommy will be preparing dinner tonight,” Lisa said and they all yelled happily. Lisa felt her heart melt instantly. She loves her kids so much and loves seeing them happy.
It gives her so much joy to see her kids so happy. “Don’t move around, I’m going to the kitchen now. Please and please don’t move around please ” Lisa pleaded as she joined her hands together.
She knew her kids too well. They love playing a lot. She didn’t want them to sustain any injury so she had to plead with them to stay in one place.
“Mommy, can I come with you to the kitchen?” Annabella asked
“Mommy, can I come too? I wanna learn how to cook” Clarabella pouted
“Same here mommy, I wanna help you wash the dishes and cook too,” Arabella said and Isabella scoffed
“How’s your hand gonna get to the sink when the sink is taller than you?” Isabella said and they all laughed making Arabella frown.
“She can use the stool in the kitchen,” Annabella said and Arabella pouted, staring at Lisa.
Lisa smiled at her. “Don’t mind them. Don’t worry you’re all gonna join me in the kitchen next time but not today” Lisa said and they all nodded. She smiled at them before walking inside the kitchen.
Immediately after Lisa left, the kids turned to Isabella.
“How’s your leg?” Annabella asked
“Getting better, ” Isabella said
“I hope you are going to school with us tomorrow?” Arabella said as she stood up from the chair they were sitting on and went to lie down on another one.
“I’m not sure. Mommy said till it’s fully healed before I can go to school” Isabella said with a shrug.
“Oh, that’s sad!! I miss not having you by my side in class. I have nobody to copy from any more” Clarabella said and Isabella scoffed
“You can copy from Arabella and Annabella before I resume,” Isabella said and clarabella laughed out loud.
They all raised their eyebrows wondering what was funny that made her laugh.
“You mean I should copy from these dullards?” clarabella said and Isabella chuckled
“Seriously but you copied from mine today,” Anna Bella said as she shot her a deadly glare.
“And I failed it,” clarabella said and they all burst into laughter.
“Almost everyone failed that question in class. Except for Lora. I heard her telling the teacher her dad teaches her at home all the time” Arabella said as she crossed her legs
“She’s lucky to have a dad who teaches her. I wish we have a dad too” Clarabella sighed softly
“Yeah same here,” the other said at once as they sighed.
Meanwhile, Lisa stood at the kitchen door listening to her children’s conversation. She felt her heart break as she felt the sadness in their voices when they were talking about having a daddy.
She joined her lips together and walked back inside the kitchen. Dina was right after all the kids needed a daddy. Maybe it’s high time she accepts Daniel’s proposal, if not for anything at least he would make a good father to her quadruplets.
Next Day
Lisa was woken up by the noises coming out of her children’s room. She stood up from the bed and walked inside the bathroom.
She took her bath and walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around her chest. She applied her lotion on her body and wore her clothes.
She put on light makeup on her face, brushed her hair, and packed it in a ponytail. She then wore her perfume. She carried her bag before walking out of her room. By the time she was done she no longer heard the children’s voices from their room.
She wondered if the nanny had taken them to school. She climbed down the stairs and to her surprise she saw Daniel walking out of the kitchen, holding a plate of food and putting on an apron.
He walked towards the dining table and put the plate of food on it. The kids were all fitted eating. Lisa wondered what Daniel was doing here at this time of the morning. Isn’t he supposed to be at the company? she thought as she stared at her wristwatch.
“Lisa” Daniel called as he saw her climbing down the stairs.
“Mommy, Good morning ” the children greeted as they ate their food.
“Good morning sweethearts,” Lisa said as she walked toward her kids and kissed them on their cheeks one after the other.
“Hey Good morning ” Daniel smiled at Lisa as he kissed her on her cheeks.
“Good morning” Lisa smiled at him.
“Where is the nanny?” Lisa asked
“Uhm, I gave her an off today” Daniel smiled and Lisa scoffed.
“Mommy, uncle Daniel woke us up this morning and helped us get dressed for school,” Arabella said with a mouth filled with food.
“Yes, mommy. And he prepared us breakfast. Yummy” Annabella said as she chewed her food.
“He said he’ll be dropping us at school today. I’m so happy” Clarabella said
“Oh my goodness, Daniel. This is too much” Lisa said
“For you Lisa nothing is too much. I’ll do absolutely anything for you just to see you and the kids smile”
