Chapter 126
It was evening and everywhere had almost gotten dark. Lisa was so busy in her office that she didn’t know what time it was.
Just then she heard a knock on her door. “Come in,” she said and Dina walked in holding her bag. Lisa raised her head and stared at her.
“Going home so early?” Lisa asked as she dropped the pen in her hands on the table.
“What do you mean? It’s almost night?” Dina said and Lisa opened her eyes wide as she stared outside her office window. Her kids were still in school. She had almost forgotten Daniel had traveled today and she was supposed to be the one to pick them up from school.
“Oh, Jesus” Lisa yelled as she stood up in a rush, picked up her phone and her bag then her car key.
“What’s wrong?” Dina asked
“The kids, they’re still in school” Lisa yelled as she ran out of her office to her car. She hopped into her car, ignited the engine, and zoomed off at full speed.

Meanwhile, a black Lamborghini screeched to a halt in front of LK World Academy. Alfred and Mr. Luke Adams alighted the car as the bodyguard opened the door for them.
“Welcome to my school Alfred, ” Mr. Luke said as he turned to Alfred who smiled at him. Mr. Luke Adams is one of the most popular and richest CEOs in Singapore. He owns LK architectural company and LK world Academy which is known worldwide.
Mr. Luke Adams is a man in his 90’s. He’s a very generous man. The first time he met Alfred, he saw a man of potential in him and he liked him so much. He became a business partner with Alfred and not only as a business partner, but he also saw Alfred as a son even though he was not opportune to have any kid.
Alfred smiled as he scrutinized the school compound; it was so big and well beautified. “It’s beautiful, ” Alfred said and Mr. Luke smiled. Of all the business partners he had ever made, Alfred was the only one he had this father-to-son relationship with.
He had called Alfred when he was in his motel and told him he needed to show him something. He had gone to the motel to pick Alfred up with his car and surprisingly he brought Alfred here.
Alfred knew about him having a school but what he wasn’t sure of was that it was this big because it was his first time here.
“Come, I’ll show you around” Mr. Luke and Alfred nodded as he walked side by side with him.
“My father wanted to build a school that would be known all over the universe but he couldn’t. He had died at a young age. I promised him in death that I would fulfill his dream and I did” he spoke in his faltering voice and Alfred smiled as he stared into his galaxy blue eyes.
Just then a middle-aged woman who was the principal of the school walked toward them and bowed his head at Mr. Luke.
“Mrs summer, what are you still doing in school? It’s almost night” Mr. Luke said as he smiled at the principal.
“Some kids are still in school. They’re waiting for their parents. I called her and she’s on her way to pick them” the principal said and bowed her head.
Mr. Luke hummed and nodded in response.
“There’s something I would kike to discuss with you Mrs summer. If you will please excuse us, Alfred ” Mr. Luke said and Alfred nodded In response and walked away from them.
He put his hands in his pocket staring at the school compound and just then he caught a glimpse of some kids sitting on a chair and talking with each other.
“What kind of parent would leave their children at school by this time?” Alfred thought as he stared at them and suddenly he looked away. It’s none of my business anyways, he thought.
He turned back to the kids who were still talking to each other. He didn’t see their faces clearly because it was almost dark already. Something inside of him was telling him to go to the kids and just then he walked towards the kids and to his surprise, he saw the little girl he had met at the restaurant yesterday.
“Isabella” he called and the quadruplets turned to him at once.
“Mr. Alfred ” Isabella called surprised as she saw him.
“What are you doing here?” Alfred asked
“Waiting for my mom. Mr. Alfred meet my sisters” Isabella said as she smiled at Alfred.
“I’m Clarabella,” Clarabella said and brought forth her hands for a handshake same as the rest of the kids. Alfred smiled at the quadruplets as he shook their tiny hands. He smiled as he stared at them, Isabella wasn’t lying, he had the exact color of eyes as them, he thought.
“My sister told us about you yesterday. I thought she was lying ” Arabella said as she stood up and went to stand beside Alfred.
“Really” Alfred laughed as he smiled at Arabella and suddenly carried her.
“You are so cute,” Alfred said as he smiled at her and touched her cheeks playfully, making Arabella laugh.
“Please carry me,” Clarabella said as she stood up and Alfred carried her.
“Carry me too,” Annabella said and Alfred carried her.
“You have so many powers and you can carry the three of us at once” Annabella laughed
“I can carry the four of you, ” Alfred said and Isabella laughed.
“My leg still hurts. I do not want anyone to kick my legs” Isabella said laughing
“No one is gonna hit your leg. I’ll make sure of that” Alfred said as he walked towards Isabella and carried her too.
“Oh my God! This feels good” the quadruplets yelled happily making Alfred laugh.
Lisa’s car screeched to a halt in front of the school compound. Lisa Alighted the car and suddenly she heard her quadruplet voice. They were laughing but then she heard a masculine voice too. It was so thick. She had almost recognized the voice.
She looked as she walked towards them and saw a male figure playing with her kids. The male figure had carried them playing with them.
Lisa began to wonder who the guy playing with his kids was. And he has never seen or heard her kids laugh this loud before.
Daniel wasn’t in the country, she wondered who was with her kids as she walked towards them.
Just then Arabella caught a glimpse of her mom.
“Mommy is here” Arabella yelled happily and then Alfred turned around and to his greatest surprise, he saw her. The person he never thought he would see again.
“Lisa….” Alfred called out in shock.
