Mom, I’m so hungry. What did you cook?” Lisa said as she walked past her mom and walked inside the kitchen.

Lisa and the kids are seen sitting at the dining table waiting for Alfred and Daniel to come to join them before they start eating.
Alfred had gone to his room to take his bath and change his clothes, just like Daniel.
“Are they not here yet?” Mrs. Rebecca asked, holding a tray of food as she walked out of the kitchen.
“No, and I’m not waiting. I’m so hungry” Lisa said and was about to eat when Isabella screamed no!!!
“No, mommy we should wait for daddy,” Isabella said and Lisa turned to her mom who shrugged.
“Fine then,” Lisa said and rolled her eyes. Just then Alfred and Daniel are seen climbing down the stairs and talking to each other while laughing so hard. They looked so happy together.
She then noticed Alfred holding some files in his hands. Lisa rolled her eyes. She was sure it was working again. He hasn’t fully recovered yet and he wants to start working. Lisa thought.
Lisa smiled at the sight of them laughing together. She was glad they were finally friends again after years of separation.
“Sorry we are late,” Daniel said as he sat beside his mom, while Alfred sat beside Lisa. Lisa rolled her eyes.
“So can I eat now?” Lisa turned to her kids who smiled at her and nodded in response. She took a spoon full of pasta and put it in her mouth.
“Why are you holding those papers in your hands? You are not fully healed yet, and you want to start working again?”
Lisa asked as she chewed the food in her mouth.
“It does not work papers. It’s yours” Alfred said as he gave her the papers.
“Mine? What is inside the papers?” Lisa asked as she opened it.
“It’s the papers to your father’s mansion and his company and all of his properties. I’m giving them back to you” Alfred said and Lisa almost choked on the food she was eating.
Alfred quickly took the glass of water and gave it to her. She gulped down the entire water in the glass before opening the paper. It was the paper to all of her father’s properties.
“Oh my goodness! Alfred!!” Lisa called out speechlessly
“It’s nothing, Lisa. I’ll do anything for you” Alfred said and Lisa pouted.
She passed the papers to Daniel.
“You are the eldest son and heir to the Cranston, all these belong to you,” Lisa said and Daniel took the papers and stared at them. He smiled and turned to Lisa.
“Wow, Dad had a lot of properties and estates here. Well, it’s your Lisa. You should handle all of it, I would be leaving for Singapore by next week” Daniel said as she passed the papers back to Lisa.
“You are leaving so soon?” Lisa asked
“Yeah, I need to go. My company is there and I haven’t been present for a long time. Not a good sign and besides Daisy is still in Singapore with my child, she needs me now more than ever” Daniel said and Lisa nodded in response.
“I would be coming with you to Singapore, ” Mrs. Rebecca said as she ate her food.
“No mom, you should stay with Lisa and the kids,” Daniel said
“Lisa and the kids do not need me here, besides Alfred is here to take care of them. I need to go back for the sake of Daisy, she’s pregnant, she needs me too and I promised her that I would be back” Mrs. Rebecca said
“Mom is right. Daisy needs her” Lisa said and Daniel nodded,” I’m responsible.
“What about you Lisa? The restaurant and all, you sure you don’t want to leave too?” Alfred asked.
“Of course not. Dina can manage the restaurant without my presence besides I can’t leave you alone” Lisa said and Alfred nodded.
“What about the kid’s school?” Daniel asked.
“They will be starting a new school here,” Lisa said
“Does this mean you are going to be staying here permanently?” Daniel asked
“Uhm, I do not know yet,” Lisa said and Daniel nodded. Lisa still needs time to make a decision which he understands.
Just then Daniel heard his phone ring, it was a call from Daisy.
“It’s Daisy. I’m sure she wants to tell me the baby needs me” Daniel said and they all burst into laughter.
He stood up from the chair and walked away from the dining table to answer the phone call.
“I’ll go drop the plates. Common kids, let’s go to the kitchen, I need to show you guys something ” Mrs. Rebecca said and the quadruplets who were done eating stood up and followed Mrs. Rebecca leaving Lisa and Alfred all alone.
“Are you sure about changing the quadruplet’s school?” Alfred asked and Lisa hummed.
“Changing the school will Means moving in here completely, what about your restaurant?” Alfred asked, concerned about Lisa’s career.
He just can’t sit and watch her abandon what she had suffered to build in years all because of him.
“Dina can manage the restaurant, besides I can’t leave you all alone here. You are still recovering” Lisa said and Alfred nodded in response.
“Whatever decision you make, I’ll respect it,” Alfred said and Lisa smiled at him.

***************
It was night and the kids were already asleep, same as Mrs. Rebecca. Daniel is seen in the sitting room answering phone calls. He had been on the phone for over an hour with Daisy. She had refused to end the call, she kept saying she was bored.
Lisa stood by the staircase as she watched Daniel smile while talking to Daisy on the phone. He looked so happy and with the way he was sounding and laughing, he was gradually falling in love with Daisy. It was obvious even though Daniel didn’t know he was falling for her already.
Lisa sighed softly and walked inside Alfred’s room. without knocking, she opened the door and walked in and to her surprise she saw Alfred walking out of the bathroom, naked.
Lisa opened her eyes wide at the sight of his well-built body and then her eyes moved to his lower area.
“Blood of god…”
