Chapter 164
“Why don’t you and Daniel get married? I’ll make all the preparations and everything, you don’t need to stress yourself about anything. The kids would be so happy about Daniel being their Daddy” Mrs. Bella said and Lisa opened her eyes in shock.
“What???” Lisa yelled in her mind.
“What do you think?” Mrs. Bella asked and Lisa smiled.
“You should talk things out with Daniel first,” Lisa paused, not knowing what to say. How can this woman tell her to get married to Daniel? Lisa scoffed silently.
Just then Mrs. Bella heard her phone ring. It was a call from her Best friend, Felicia.
“It’s Felicia. She knows I’m in town and she’s not gonna let me rest till we see each other” Mrs. Bella said and laughed.
She then stood up and hugged Lisa.
“I’ll be on my way now,” she said and kissed Lisa on her cheeks.
“Tell the quadruplets that their future grandma has arrived. I’ll drop by anytime soon” Mrs. Bella said and Lisa smiled at her.
Lisa is a pretty woman and Daniel loves her so much. For the sake of her son’s happiness she would do absolutely anything to make sure Lisa belongs to his son, Mrs. Bella thought as she gave Lisa one more glance before walking out of the office.
Lisa sighed softly and placed her hands on her forehead. Lots of thoughts going through her head. She just didn’t know where she was going to start from.
She didn’t want to tell Mrs. Bella what Daniel had done, she wouldn’t believe it not at all. She was sure gonna try to fix everything but for now, Daniel needs space and time to move on.
She just hopes he was fine and he doesn’t do anything stupid to himself, Lisa thought as she stared at her wall clock.
“It was time for her kids to close from school. She’s going to pick them up and go home” she thought as she stood up from the couch she was sitting on. She packed her bags and everything and walked out of the office.
She hopped into her car and zoomed off. After she had picked up the kids from school she decided to go shopping. Some things the kids needed had been finished at home so she needed to get them.
When they had gotten to the shopping mall, she asked the kids to wait in the car while she got the things and rushed back to them.
She walked inside the mall and took the shopping cart picking the things she needed. Just then she caught a glimpse of a woman wearing a blue gown with her hair packed. She looked so much like her mom. The woman walked towards a guy and was talking to him.
Lisa could hear the voice. It sounded so much like that of her mom. And the woman looked so much like her mom from behind. The way she walks, the way she packed her hair leaving some strands to fall at the back.
Lisa dropped the shopping cart and decided to rush towards the woman but she wasn’t lucky enough as the woman had left. She couldn’t find her anymore.
She sighed softly. Maybe she was the one overthinking things. She remembered the day her mom was shot in the forehead twice. She had seen her bleed and lost consciousness. She couldn’t be alive and this is Singapore, not her hometown.
She is probably stressed and seeing things. She needed a lot of rest, she thought and walked towards her cart.
After Lisa had shopped for all the things she needed. She went back to the car, ignited the engine, and zoomed off.
After they had gotten home, she prepared dinner and served the kids. She fed them and helped them take their baths. She helped them lie on the bed and told them a bedtime story After then they slept off.
She walked out of their room to her room. She sighed softly as she sat on the bed. She was glad the kids were asleep already. They kept on asking after Alfred and she had to tell them a lot of lies.
They had made her do everything Alfred does for them. Lisa must say Alfred was trying for them. How could the kids make her sing when they know deep down she has a terrible voice? She exhaled deeply.
She stood up from the bed, walked inside the bathroom, and took her bath. After she had taken her bath she walked back to her room, wore her night dress, and lay tiredly on the bed.
Lots of thoughts going through her mind. She hadn’t heard from Alfred since he left last night. What if he’s gone back home? No, that’s not possible, he wouldn’t go home just like that without letting her know. He can’t just leave like that or what if he’s left? Lisa thought as she picked up her phone and tried calling his number but it wasn’t going through.
“It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have pushed him away, ” she thought and dropped the phone beside her on the bed.
She turned to the other side of the bed and covered herself with the duvet, thinking about Alfred, and at the same time thinking about what Mrs. Bella had said. She was also worried about Daniel.
And on second thought, the woman she had seen today looked so much like her mom. Even though she had only seen the side of her face and not the full face, she could tell the woman was a replica of her mom.
But on second thought, what if mom is still alive? Lisa thought as she sat up properly on the bed.
“No, that’s not possible. She watched her mom die slowly and the last word she told her before she passed away was that she was sorry” Lisa thought and scratched her head.
“Mom cannot be alive. I think I’m seeing things and going crazy” Lisa thought as she lay flat on the bed.
