He Knows

Love

“Love, what is going on here?”

| swallowed thickly. | could feel sweat running down my back. They were all looking at me, wanting me to answer the question. | exhaled, opening my mouth to speak,” Mr. Carter,”

H

F ucking stop with that,” he growled lowly. | closed my eyes

momentarily. He mouthed a curse at his callous mouth in front of Cayden. However, he wasn’t paying attention to us. He was busy

playing games on his phone.

| don’t want to talk about it,” | said quietly. David held my hand in support of me.

“You have kids that look like my grandson, bear his last name, and you don’t want to talk? How dare you, Love Chasia,” CC sizzled.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“| don’t want to talk about it right now, especially when my son is here,” | barked back. All this tension was getting on my nerves.

I'm right to fear. Ellis might take them from me as retaliation for not telling him about the twins. | wouldn’t tell him the truth. CC looked displeased with the situation. Her ‘assistant’ tried to alleviate her, but she dismissed him rudely.

The door opened, cutting through the heavy suspense that lingered in

the air. | rushed to the doctor.

“|

Doctor, how is she?”

Mama,” she smiled sadly at me as she emerged behind the doctor. She had a cast on her arm. | knelt and hugged her.

‘Oh, Sunny,”

“| don’t like it,” she pouted, looking at the designer pink arm cast.

‘It's cute, and we shall all sign on it. Right, doctor?” | looked up at the tall man, who nodded with a smile.

Lara, does it hurt?” Cayden asked, and she shook her head.

Only a little,”

The doctor prescribed some painkillers for her and mentioned it might tingle sometimes.

Thank you, doctor,” | said. | carried my daughter and put her on my hip, kissing her.

Dada, look. | have a pink cast because it’s my favorite color!” My daughter beamed, showing Luis. | raised my eyes to glance at Ellis. His gentle smile vanished as he looked between Luis and Solara’s exchange. David reached out to kiss her, and she giggled. It suddenly became silent when CC cleared her throat. She looked appalled.

“| believe we need to talk, Love,” she gritted, standing beside her grandson.

Of course, CC,” | said, chipper than ever.

Don’t do that, Love, your little fake smile and-”

CC, stop,” Ellis’ tone was commanding. He stepped forward and caressed Solara’s hair.

How are you feeling, Princess?” he asked gently. She frowned and looked at me as if waiting for approval to answer him. | nodded, and she smiled at Ellis.

It doesn’t hurt now. The doctor gave me a painkiller and said I'd be fine. Thank you for bringing me here” she said sweetly.

“Oh, she’s precious, her little sweet voice,” CC clamored, clasping her hand to her mouth. Ellis smiled and kissed her hair. You're welcome,” his gaze settled on Cayden. My son looked unimpressed by him. Probably because of what happened at the Aquarium. He knows how to hold a grievance. Slowly, Ellis put one knee on the ground and smiled slightly at him.

My grandfather was Cayden too,”

My heart sk ipped in my chest. | named him to honor their family, and it suited him immediately. Cayden was born to bear that name.

My grandpa Cayden, was big and strong. He liked sharks so much,” he told him, and his son’s face brightened.

“| like sharks!” he beamed.

Really? | have one at my estate,”

That’s so cool,” Cayden beamed, something just switched. The idiot had him at the mention of his favorite fish. He must have done his research in this short period.

Also, | didn’t mean to make your twin sister cry. | was just confused,” he said gently. Cayden smiled at him, and | could swear | saw tears of relief dance in Ellis’ gaze. | felt my eyes build with tears as well.

“My mommy was right. We had paint on our face so you couldn’t have known,” Cayden shrugged. Ellis lifted his gaze to me but i avoided his eyes. He kissed Cayden’s temple and stroked his hair before getting to his feet to look at me. He nodded towards me curtly, and we turned to leave. My heart was frantic at their innocent sweet exchange. It was so filling to watch. I’d never seen Ellis struggle to find the right words to speak as much as he did back there. Ellis knew the truth, but how?

David paid

“I know,” | mumbled.
