Chapter 179
“Daisy told me you had quadruplets, I didn’t think you would bring them,” Her mom said as she stared at the quadruplets.
“This woman looks so much like mommy,” Arabella whispered.
“Do you think she’s our Grandma?” Annabella whispered
“I would be so glad if we had a grandma. She’s so beautiful ” Clarabella whispered.
“And yes she’s staring at us” Isabella whispered.
“What’s their name?” Mrs. Rebecca asked
“Isabella, Annabella, Clarabella, and Arabella. You can call them the Bella’s ” Lisa said and Mrs. Rebecca smiled.
“I’m already in love with these kids! Their names are so beautiful ” Mrs. Rebecca said as she smiled at the quadruplets who kept whispering at each other. Lisa began to wonder what the kids were talking about. She was so sure it was about her mom Mrs. Rebecca.
“Common Bella’s. Breakfast is ready to come here” Mrs. Rebecca smiled at the kids who turned to their mommy. She nodded and asked them to come. Without hesitation, they climbed down the couch and walked towards their mommy.
“Hey sweethearts, how are you?” Mrs. Rebecca said as she carried Arabella touching her hair making her giggle. This was definitely what Arabella likes. Someone who would carry her and play with her.
“You guys are so beautiful. I wish you guys were my granddaughters. I have told Daisy countless times to get married and give me a grandchild but she’s just too stubborn. I’m getting older day by day and I need a grandchild ” Mrs. Rebecca said and they all burst into laughter.
“Common mommy, I’ll give you a grandchild when the time is right,” Daisy said and Mrs. Rebecca laughed.
Lisa wished she could just tell her mommy that her wishes already come true and the kids were her grandchildren. if she does tell her it will sound crazy because she doesn’t even remember she had a daughter like her, Lisa thought.
Daisy, who noticed the sad look on Lisa’s face, gave her shoulder a light squeeze, giving her a reassuring smile that everything was going to be fine again.
“Common, let’s eat. The food is getting cold” Daisy said and they all sat at the dining chair. Freya who had gone to take her bath had already come and joined them.
Lisa had eaten before she came buh she felt so hungry at the sweet aroma of her mommy’s food. How much she’s missed eating her food. It still had some taste it used to have when she prepared it when she was little but this time it tasted so special. Maybe it’s because it’s been a long time since she ate food prepared by her.
“So how old are the kids!” Mrs. Rebecca asked.
“I’m six years old, same as my sisters, ” Arabella said in her tiny voice, making them laugh.
“You are so beautiful ma’am, ” Isabella said and Mrs. Rebecca smiled at her.
“Thank you, honey,” she said in response and Isabella smiled at her.
“Mommy, is she your mom and our grandma? She looks so much like you” Annabella said and Lisa smiled. The kids were just so smart to notice Lisa looked so much like Mrs. Rebecca.
Lisa smiled at the kids not knowing what to say. She couldn’t tell her that Mrs. Rebecca isn’t her mom because of Course she is her mom and their grandma. Daisy smiled at Lisa as she noticed she could reply to the kids.
Mrs. Rebecca then turned to Lisa.
“You don’t have a mom?” She asked surprised and Lisa joined her lips together. She does have a mom and she’s the one sitting right next to her but unfortunately, she doesn’t remember her.
Daisy coughed and Mrs. Rebecca quickly gave her water.
“Careful when you are eating Daisy,” she said and Daisy nodded in response.
“Can we call you grandma?” Clarabella asked with her mouth full of pasta.
“Of course, you can. From today you guys can call me grandma ” Mrs. Rebecca said and the kids smiled happily.
“Common, you guys should eat before the food gets cold, ” Mrs. Rebecca said.
After they had eaten breakfast Lisa and Mrs. Rebecca and the quadruplets spent some time together and then when it was evening they decided to leave.
Lisa had not wanted to leave, she just wanted to stay with her mom. It’s been a while and she missed her so much.
Just then she heard her phone ring, it was a call from Alfred. She had called him to come to pick up her and the kids and he had arrived already.
“Alfred is here we need to go now,” Lisa said as she stood up.
“Oh!! Your husband. Why don’t you spend the night here?” Mrs. Rebecca said. She would love to spend the night here with her but her kids wouldn’t be so comfortable so she needs to take them home.
“I’ll drop by next time,” Lisa said and Mrs. Rebecca nodded in response. The kids stood up and went to hug Mrs. Rebecca.
“Bye grandma, ” they said in chorus.
“Aww, honey I wish you guys can stay. I’m going to miss you guys” Mrs. Rebecca said, smiling.
“Daddy’s car is outside,” Annabella said and ran out of the house with the rest of the quadruplets trailing behind her.
“Careful so you wouldn’t fall” Lisa yelled but the kids paid no attention to her. She sighed softly and turned to her mom.
She opened her handbag and brought out two bundles of money.
“You should use this to get whatever you want,” Lisa said as she held her hands and placed the money in her palm.
“Oh my goodness!! This is too much I can’t take it” Mrs. Rebecca said
“No, it’s fine. You should take it, please” Lisa said and Mrs. Rebecca turned to Daisy who nodded.
“Thank you very much, Lisa. This means a lot” Mrs. Rebecca said as tears gathered in her eyes and just then she hugged Lisa so tight.
Lisa felt so warm as her mom hugged her. She remembered that night her mom came crawling inside her room, she hugged her so tight telling her everything was going to be fine.
Mrs. Rebecca pulled away from the hug and wiped her tears. Tears had already gathered in Lisa’s eyes. She is just trying so hard not to break down in front of her mom.
“I…I’ll be leaving now,” Lisa said and turned to leave. Tears poured out of her eyes and swiftly she turned around and ran into her mom’s arm. She hugged her so tightly as if her life depended on it.
Just then she pulled away from the hug and wiped her tears. She walked towards Daisy and hugged her too.
“Thank you” she muttered to Daisy who nodded in response she smiled at her and with that, she walked out of the house.
