Chapter 79: He’s Not The One

At the moment Leah noticed the handsome fake Daddy wasn’t looking at her anymore, she had quickly waved at the woman. “Goodbye.”

“Bye.” The woman had waved back smilingly unable to understand how a kid could be so cute.

Leah had used her cute little tricks to ask the woman for a hug to deceive the handsome fake Daddy, but once he wasn’t looking in her direction anymore she had quickly ran off to find her brother who had been secretly watching her after using his own methods to get away from the crowd as well so he wouldn’t draw attention to himself.

They always did things as a team, and in everything they did, Leo was the brains and she was the cuteness, nobody could resist such a force.

“Leo, will we get home before Mommy does?”

“Mommy isn’t heading home right now, she went somewhere else.” Leo had heard his mother’s conversation so he knew she was elsewhere at this moment.

Natalia’s head felt heavy the minute she opened her eyes. She couldn’t recall anything at first, her memory feeling too hazy for her to be able to tell why she was feeling this strange tiredness out of nowhere.

She felt like she had been supposed to be doing something important but she couldn’t remember exactly what. She was supposed to be looking after something important.

Or was it… someone important?

The twins!

What the…

How did she fall asleep?

With a gasp, she instantly sat up and felt a heavy pain on her sides making her realize she had been sleeping on the floor all this time. But that wasn’t what mattered at this moment, how could she have fallen asleep when she was supposed to be looking after two little kids?

Natalia’s lips opened as she was about to call out their names hoping and hoping they would respond and hadn’t gotten into any trouble while she was asleep when she heard something right next to her.

“Tsk tsk tsk, godmother really doesn’t know how to play house. You fell asleep.” The voice was childish yet it seemed to be scolding her at the same time.

A long sigh of relief escaped Natalia when she saw the child sitting right next to her.

“Sorry Leah, I don’t understand how I fell asleep. I don’t usually sleep so easily.”

The little girl shrugged, “It’s okay, I brushed your hair and did your makeup while you were asleep.”

Natalia stiffened in surprise at first.

Hair and makeup? Oh shit…had she been sleeping like a corpse not to have felt anything? But then it was such a sweet thing, she knew little girls liked to play with dolls, perhaps Leah had taken her as her life sized doll while she slept, Natalia didn’t mind that all.

She ran and hand through her hair and it was so smooth with no tangles at all. “Thanks little cutie.” Natalia smiled pinching the girl’s cheeks unaware about how that smile looked like a creepy scene straight out of a horror movie.

“Where is Leo?” Natalia asked looking around.

“Here.” The little boy poked his head into the room from the balcony to make his presence known before he went back again.

Natalia was truly relieved.

She had only slept for a short while, there couldn’t be any possibility of anything happening to the kids in such a short while. Besides, two little kids, what harm could they do. They were probably playing the whole time.

Natalia got off the floor and stretched, she would admit she actually felt really refreshed after sleeping like that.

Was playing with kids that relaxing that it helps one fall asl…

Her thoughts suddenly halted when her gaze landed on a mirror hung up on the wall and she almost jumped in fear thinking she was being haunted by a ghost that could only be seen in the mirror. The person looking at her in the reflection had long, smooth hair but her eyes were shadowed my multiple colored eyeshadow, a red lipstick was smeared on her lower lip going way over her lip line and a purple lipstick was smeared on her upper lip almost up to her nose. Her cheeks had super red blush overused and her brows looked like dark coals of disaster.

For a moment Natalia had no idea she was looking at herself and had been startled.

Natalia was utterly horrified she felt like screaming.

Her face…her beautiful face had been destroyed.

“You look really pretty godmother.” Leah’s cute voice came from below and Natalia felt like bawling her eyes out.

This was pretty? It was more like a nightmare!!!!

*****

Later in the night, Leah finally remembered what she wanted to ask her brother so she turned on her side on the bed, hugging Boba close. “Leo, did you see that man earlier?”

Leo rubbed his eyes and sleepily asked, “What man?”

“The man I used as my cover from the crowd earlier.”

Leo looked to be thinking back for a while before he replied, “I did see him, but not his face.”

“I think he looks like our Daddy.” Leah said. She had really like that man a lot even if he looked a bit stern, she also thought that he looked a bit similar to her brother as well.

“He’s not the one.” Leo replied.

“Yeah, his name is different.” Leah said with a disappointed sigh.

“I wish he was our Daddy.” Leah said sadly.

“But he’s not. And even if he was, he doesn’t want us.” Leo said seriously.

“That’s not true! He really likes me, he said so himself. If he’s our Daddy, I’m sure he would want us.”

Leo gave his sister a side glance. “Didn’t you trick him into saying that?”

Leah snuggled Boba closer, she knew she had used her crying trick to make him say he likes her, but she really felt that he did.

Just when they fell silent, their mother poked her head into the room. “Are my little sweeties asleep?”

“Mommy!” Leah immediately brightened up.

Celine sat on the edge of Leah’s bed. “Actually, Leo was really sleepy but he was waiting for you to kiss him goodnight so he refused to fall asleep.” Leah informed, exposing her brother.

Leo glared at his sister and said, “That’s not true, I can sleep without a goodnight kiss. I’m not a little baby.”

Celine smiled and moved to Leo’s bed then gave him two smacking kisses on both his cheeks. The boy looked a bit taken aback but he quickly hid the way his eyes lit up in satisfaction, pretending to wipe off her kisses. Celine shook her head at her son, he was always acting so tough hiding the sweet childish parts of him. Sometimes it worried Celine so she tried to give him so much love and affection.

“Mommy, me too.” Leah called and Celine gave her a big kiss as well.

“Do you want me to sing to you or should I read your favorite bedtime story?” Celine asked looking from one child to the other.

“A song!” Leo uttered.

“A story!” Leah said at the exact same time making Celine laugh while looking at them both.

“Okay, we’ll have a song and a bedtime story.”

“Yay!” Leah showed her excitement white Leo merely kept his eyes fixed on his mother.

Celine sat with them, sang to them and read their favorite story. A while later, she noticed the utter silence, an indication that they were falling asleep, so she closed up the little story book and quietly kissed Leo and then Leah, just when she was about to leave, Leah suddenly caught her hand.

“Mommy?”

“What is it baby?” Celine knelt by the bed and stroked Leah’s soft hair. She looked really sleepy yet it seemed she wanted to say something to her mother.

“Mommy…I want to ask you a question.”

“Go ahead sweetie.”

Leah seemed to hesitate before asking, it made Celine wonder what she wanted to say. The girl never hesitated to say anything before, she would tell her mother what was on her mind straight up.

“Go on Leah, tell me.” Celine urged and the little girl looked up at her mother opening her mouth to ask…
