{President Simon Mother}
Landon POV
“You did that?! ” Andrew yells with his fist tighten so hard.
“I’m sorry. Camila apologized with her face away from theirs.
“What was the reason you got grounded? ” He asked and I turned to look at Camila. A light gasp escaped my lips when I remember she’s grounded, I guess this is the perfect moment to know why she was grounded.
“Because I told a lie that involved Cali. I was peeping which I shouldn’t. ” She uttered and looked at her as if she suddenly grew two horns. Like, she did that.
“What is she saying? She’s kidding right.. ” I asked and shook my hair…
“She just disgrace herself by peeping when I was with Cali and—-”
“In her room?! ” I asked with a shocking expression on my face.
“Yeah, I was having a cool conversation with Cali in her room since she wants it private. Not knowing Camila was at the door, peeping which she shouldn’t. ” Andrew explained.. I just stood still, staring at him. No words, just silence. If there’s another word I can use to express how I’m feeling at this moment, I will probably use it but I’m shocked. I slowly turn to Camila with an expression of “Is he saying the truth? ” on my face. Camila just nodded to his words. I slam my fist on the dining table.
“Why did you do that Cami? ” I asked calmly and she burst into tears.. And that’s what I don’t like, seeing tears on her face. I ran my fingers through my hair, slowly brought my thumb to wipe her tears.
“It’s fine, the deed is done. It can’t be undone. ” I mumbled and patted her shoulder.
“You tell a lie today, then don’t try it tomorrow. Ask God for forgiveness. Whatever reason or thought that made you peep and lie.. I think you should clear it off your mind. ” I uttered softly and she hugged me tightly.
“Wow! Bravo, making me look like the villain in the story. ” Andrew gritted his teeth and arched my brows.
“What is the meaning of that? I don’t understand. ” I asked while Camila and I broke the hug.
“I’m trying to make her see what she did isn’t right but you turned it the other way round. ” Andrew uttered with arms crossed on his chest.
“What’s the essence of scolding her when you have her grounded… And she has realized her mistake. She apologized to Andrew… ” I mumbled and he nodded and picked his car key.
“Come on bro, Why are you still angry over this? She apologized already, she apologized to Cali… What else??? ” I yelled why he ignored my voice by taking the exit.
“It’s fine. ” Camila mumbled and stood up.
“Love to have fun this evening.. I’m going to a business party. ” I asked and she shook her head.
“You can dress up when it’s time. ” I uttered, ignoring her stubbornness. Camila loves parties. I walk back to my room.
“Could Camila’s words be true? Andrew had a night stand with Cali and she’s carrying five babies for me. Andrew hardly gets angry when it comes to lady issues like this. This is suspicious and it’s also weird.
“I will patiently wait for the day he will announce this news but for now, I act as if I know nothing. ”

Author POV…
President Simon’s home in Washington DC is a bit crowded. His wife just came back from a business trip. Austin Simon and his wife Marietta Simon, Ayden and his fianceé Tanya were also around and lastly, president Simon’s mother is also around. She planned to spend just a week with Calvin and Cali… Most especially Cali since she’s been their favorite right from childhood. And their favorite is pregnant with the family happiness and joy.
“I will be leaving in one hour. Ayden uttered and picked his suit jacket.
“I thought you were gonna be less busy. ” Austin stuttered.
“I’m sorry bro, just an exclusive contract almost in the mud.. worth billions of dollars. ” He uttered and Austin nodded.
“I understand. ” Austin mumbled, they shook hands and patted each other’s shoulders.
“Tanya! Babe! ” He called out to her and she rushed out, one of the rooms.
“You are going already… ” She asked from the stairs.. Ayden looked up to her.
“Of course… ” He replied and she rushed back in. And came out with her fashion bag.
“I’m leaving the first lady. ” She screamed and came down the stairs.
“When will I see you again Ayden. ” President Simon asked.
“Probably when we have another gathering similar to this. Just families and children and grandchildren.. ” He uttered and Tanya chuckled..
“But you said you aren’t for babies… ” She interrupted and he chuckled.
“Calvin is married, of course, he will be next in line… Marietta is expecting another baby. Cali too …. ” Ayden uttered while Tanya rolled her eyes.
“Till then. I don’t want excuses from you telling me about a business that’s made you miss the gathering. ” Mrs Simon said behind them and he nodded.
“I’m definitely coming… Don’t worry. ” He uttered and pulled Tanya’s hands after she gave them hugs and pecks.
President Simon and his wife took their seat beside president Simon’s mother. The aged woman still looks fitted despite aged. It feels good to have her around.
“How are you preparing for your visit to Cali and Calvin’s place. ” Mrs May asked with a bright smile on her lips.
“I can’t wait to see my favorite cold daughter. ” The aged mother smiled with her back on the chair properly.
“Pregnancy changed her .. She doesn’t like to be around people… ” Mrs Simon mumbled with a voice of sadness in her voice.
“She will change when she sees the babies but how will she cope with them. ” The aged mother uttered with a sad voice…
Mrs Simon smiled.
“She has us .. ”
