Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Lora quickly showered and went to the living room. As promised, the twins gave her a clumsy foot massage.

"Do you feel better, Mommy?" Ella asked as she tried her best to use her little fingers to massage one of Lora's legs.

Although Lora felt like she was being tickled, her heart felt full. She smiled and said, "Thank you so much... the massage has made me feel better."

Ethan had a serious look on his face as he worked on Lora's other leg, pretending to be a professional masseur.

Bianca chuckled and took a picture of this scene. She remarked, "You're so lucky to have such adorable twins, Lora. They love you so much."

"I love Mommy and since Daddy is not yet here, I'm going to continue giving her foot massages and rubbing her back," Ella proclaimed and Lora's heart skipped a beat.

The kids had never bothered her about meeting their father. However, it didn't mean she couldn't see the longing look in their eyes each time they saw other children with their fathers at the theme park.

Looking down at the twins, she asked, "Ella, Ethan, would you like to meet your Daddy?"

Ella's eyes lit up. She looked up at Lora and answered, "Yes! Is he coming home now?"

"What about you, Ethan?" Lora asked, noticing how quiet her son was.

"I'll meet him if you want me to meet him," Ethan answered calmly.

"Of course Mommy wants us to meet Daddy, she loves Daddy, right Mommy? We wouldn't exist if Mommy didn't love Daddy," Ella remarked and Lora's eyes widened.
