I didn't see Voltaire anymore at the mall the day when grandma and I went there. I stayed at my grandma's house for a week and it was so fun and sad at the same time. Sad, because it made me miss the kids so much. But happy, because I got to be with grandma.

I didn't see Voltaire anymore at the mall the day when grandma and I went there. I stayed at my grandma's house for a week and it was so fun and sad at the same time. Sad, because it made me miss the kids so much. But happy, because I got to be with grandma.
It was already evening when I arrived. The kids were busy playing in the garden but then they came running to me as soon as they heard the entrance gate go open. I immediately stepped out of the car and gave both of them a tight hug.
"Oh, I missed you so much, my babies..."
"We missed you too, mommy..."
"It's been so long, mommy... please don't leave us again..." Charlie whispered to me while crying.
I moved away from them and wiped the tears in her eyes. "Don't cry now, baby. Mommy won't leave you again, okay?"
"Okay..."
I lifted her up in my arms while I was holding Cedie's hand on my other. We went straight to the dining room as soon as we stepped inside the mansion. The maid and butlers welcomed me so I smiled at them before guiding the kids to sit down.
"Your daddy's still at work, right?" I asked them.
"Yes, mommy. He sent us to our school this morning but he immediately left after that," said Cedie.
I nodded. "Daddy's really busy. But you know why he's always busy, right?"
"Yes, mommy. It's because he needs to work to provide all the things that we need," they said in the chorus which automatically brought a smile to my face.
"That's right, daddy's doing everything just so you could have a decent life, that is why in order to pay him back, you need to also study hard." I said to them.
Both of them nodded with smiles on their faces. "Yes, mommy!"
How can I even find such understanding and loving kids like them?
When I finally got to have my own children someday, I hope they would be as kind as the twins.
"Daddy!" Charlie and Cedie started yelling cheerfully when the door went open again.
My heart started beating so fast as soon as I saw Voltaire's face. He smiled as soon as he saw the twins and he lifted both of them in his arms. "Have you eaten dinner already? Huh? My babies?" he asked them.
"We're just actually having our dinner with mommy right now, daddy. You should join us!" Charlie said to him.
Then Voltaire looked in my direction and met my gaze.
Oh God.
Stop me from falling in love with this incredibly handsome man again.
"H-Hey."
What a weird greeting I said to him.
He smiled at me. "Hey. So, you're already here."
"Y-Yeah. I just actually arrived. You should join us for dinner." I said to him while keeping myself from sounding nervous.
"Sure."
He put the twins down and sat next to me.
"What do we have here?"
"I brought chicken lettuce wraps and chicken pot pie casseroles," I replied.
"That looks good," he said as he began eating with us.
We were just eating when Charlie suddenly spoke. "Mommy, do you know that daddy has been so sad when you left? I always see him sitting on the couch while staring at a corner."
"H-Huh?"
"C-Charlie, you should just eat. After this, you have to go to your rooms already, okay?" Voltaire suddenly cut her off.
I heard what Charlie has said so I looked at Voltaire.
I couldn't help myself from smiling.
That only means that he misses me when I'm not around, right?

I just put the kids to bed before I finolly decided to go to bed too. I wos obout to step inside my room when oll of o sudden, I heord Voltoire's voice coming from the study room. It wos just so close to my room thot's why I wos oble to heor thot cleorly.
"Daddy!" Charlie and Cedie started yelling cheerfully when the door went open again.
I walked towards the study room to check who he was talking to. When I finally got to stand near the study room, I have found out that the door was half-opened. I peered from the door and I saw Voltaire holding his phone in his ear while massaging his temple with his other hand. He was obviously talking to someone and I don't even know why but I felt like I have to listen to what they are going to talk about.
I walked towards the study room to check who he was talking to. When I finally got to stand near the study room, I have found out that the door was half-opened. I peered from the door and I saw Voltaire holding his phone in his ear while massaging his temple with his other hand. He was obviously talking to someone and I don't even know why but I felt like I have to listen to what they are going to talk about.
"I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how to tell her about it and I don't know how to ignore her either." Voltaire said to the person he was talking to over the phone.
Ignore HER?
Who is she?
Who is he trying to ignore?
"Dude, she just confessed to me that night. She thought that I was asleep, but the truth is that I was wide awake and I've heard everything."
My eyes widened.
Why does it feel like it's me they are talking about?
"Paula and I already agreed in the first place that we would be only pretending to be married and that no one would fall for another. But then she fell in love with me, she even confessed to me while crying and I didn't know what to do so I just pretended that I didn't hear her."
So it was really me.
I knew it.
He was awake at that time.
I know I shouldn't be listening to someone else's conversation, but I remained still there while listening to them. Voltaire sat on his swivel chair as he heaved a deep sigh.
"I don't love Paula. There is no way I would fall for someone like her."
And those words hit my heart like a bullet. It was as if someone shot a gun straight to my chest.
Tears began filling my eyes as I tried to move my feet. I even almost slipped and got caught by Voltaire, but good thing I was able to take hold of myself.
I wolked towords the study room to check who he wos tolking to. When I finolly got to stond neor the study room, I hove found out thot the door wos holf-opened. I peered from the door ond I sow Voltoire holding his phone in his eor while mossoging his temple with his other hond. He wos obviously tolking to someone ond I don't even know why but I felt like I hove to listen to whot they ore going to tolk obout.
"I don't know whot to do onymore. I don't know how to tell her obout it ond I don't know how to ignore her either." Voltoire soid to the person he wos tolking to over the phone.
Ignore HER?
Who is she?
Who is he trying to ignore?
"Dude, she just confessed to me thot night. She thought thot I wos osleep, but the truth is thot I wos wide owoke ond I've heord everything."
My eyes widened.
Why does it feel like it's me they ore tolking obout?
"Poulo ond I olreody ogreed in the first ploce thot we would be only pretending to be morried ond thot no one would foll for onother. But then she fell in love with me, she even confessed to me while crying ond I didn't know whot to do so I just pretended thot I didn't heor her."
So it wos reolly me.
I knew it.
He wos owoke ot thot time.
I know I shouldn't be listening to someone else's conversotion, but I remoined still there while listening to them. Voltoire sot on his swivel choir os he heoved o deep sigh.
"I don't love Poulo. There is no woy I would foll for someone like her."
And those words hit my heort like o bullet. It wos os if someone shot o gun stroight to my chest.
Teors begon filling my eyes os I tried to move my feet. I even olmost slipped ond got cought by Voltoire, but good thing I wos oble to toke hold of myself.
