Chapter 187
Lisa stared at Alfred surprised. Daisy is carrying Daniel’s child? Lisa asked surprised and Alfred hummed in response while checking his phone.
Oh my goodness!! It’s unbelievable. I wonder how long they’ve both been together, Lisa thought as she quickly shook off her thought. It was none of her business but then on second thought, it was her business because Daisy was carrying the child of her twin brother.
She sighed softly, not knowing what to think anymore. She then wondered if Daniel had found out about the pregnancy yet.
“You shouldn’t think too much, you should rest. I ordered the food already, they are bringing it now” Alfred said and Lisa nodded in response.
After the food had arrived Lisa ate and took her bath while Alfred ordered a new dress for her. After that, she had a rest.
It was evening already, and she and Alfred decided to go pick the children up from school. After that, they went home. Alfred had prepared dinner while Lisa helped the kids take their baths.
Alfred served the food and they all ate as one happy family. After then they took the children to their room where they played with them, and told them a bedtime story before they drifted to sleep.
Lisa went to her room and lay tiredly on the bed. Lots of thoughts going through her mind, especially the fact that Daisy had told her those words today.
She thought they were sisters and they love each other. She sighed softly, no matter what Daisy had in mind or whatever she planned or said she would never give up on her mom, she thought and just then the door to her room burst open revealing Alfred.
“Hey” Alfred muttered as Lisa raised her head, staring at him.
“Uhm, you’re going back to the motel right?” Lisa asked as she sat properly on the bed while Alfred moved towards her and sat close to her on the bed.
“You want me to stay and sleep by your side tonight?” Alfred said as he stared at Lisa’s lips. Lisa bit her lips seductively while Alfred swallowed nothing.
“No, you can go back to the motel. I’ll be fine” Lisa said and looked away from him. Deep down she was screaming for Alfred to stay by her side. She needed him, even if it was just for tonight.
“Ok then,” Alfred said and made to stand up from the bed when Lisa held him by his shirt making him turn to her.
“Please don’t go” she muttered and he smiled at her and nodded. He wasn’t planning on leaving either. He was only trying to pull her legs.
He lay beside her on the bed while Lisa laid her head on her chest listening to his heartbeat.
“You gonna be at the party tomorrow?” Lisa asked Alfred who was so quiet staring at the ceiling.
“No, I’ll be busy with work. I have a meeting with Mr. Luke” Alfred said and Lisa hummed in response.
“You want me to drop you off tomorrow?” Alfred asked
“No, I can manage. I’ll go myself” Lisa said in response.
She closed her eyes and suddenly drifted to sleep.

Next Day
Alfred had woken up early and prepared breakfast. After that, he woke the children up and helped them get dressed for school after which he took them to school. After dropping them off at school he went back to the motel.
Lisa was at home as she didn’t go to work. She decided to get dressed for the party. After she had gotten dressed, she walked out of the house, hopped into her car, and drove to Daniel’s mansion.
The car screeched to a halt in front of Daniel’s mansion. Lisa Alighted the car as she stared at the magnificent building in front of her. Men and women dressed in elegant clothes are seen walking inside the house.
Lisa exhaled deeply before walking inside the house. A lot of influential people were present at the party, and she wasn’t surprised. Daniel is an influential man so what does she expect?
She scrutinized the area, trying to see if she would get a glimpse of Daniel or Mrs. Bella but they weren’t in the Area. A lot of people hadn’t arrived yet, it was just a few of them.
Just then someone touched Lisa from behind. She turned and to her surprise, she saw a beautiful woman standing before her with a smile on her face.
Lisa stared at the woman who looked so familiar but she couldn’t place her fingers on where she had seen her.
“You do not remember me? We met at the funding party that was held at your restaurant ” The woman said, still smiling and Lisa opened her eyes, surprised.
“Oh, Mrs. Lin right? I’m sorry I didn’t remember you, your face looked familiar but I just couldn’t remember where I had seen you. I’m so sorry” Lisa said and Mrs. Lin smiled.
“It’s nothing. How have you been and how’s the restaurant going? I missed the food there. I came to town this week and Mr. Daniel had invited me to the party so since I’m in town I decided to attend” Mrs. Lin said and Lisa nodded in response while smiling.
“That’s nice,” Lisa said, and just then she heard someone call her name from behind. It was Nova.
“Aunt Lisa ” Nova yelled as she climbed down the stairs.
“Excuse me,” Lisa said to Mrs. Lin as she walked towards nova as they both hugged each other so tight.
“Oh, my baby!! I missed you so much” Lisa said smiling
“I missed you too Aunt Lisa” Nova said looking so happy.
“Oh my goodness!! Nova you’ve grown so big and tall, you are almost my height. What are you eating?” Lisa asked As she touched Nova’s cheeks making Nova giggle.
“Where’s mommy?” Lisa asked and she heard Mrs. Bella’s voice.
“I’m here,” she said, climbing down the stairs with a fair woman beside her. Lisa noticed that woman, she was Mrs. Bella’s lawyer.
Lisa stared at Mrs. Bella and noticed the papers in her hands as she walked toward her.
“Is this the marriage paper and has Daniel signed it? Oh no,” Lisa muttered as fear ran down her spine.
