Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 63. New Year’s Party

“Now,” Abigail quickly looked at Vivian, shaking the disappointment. from the surface of her face, “my hope is to be a good mother for my future children. I want my children to have a complete family.”

Suddenly, Vivian’s blinking eyes turned awkward. Realizing that, Abigail gasped. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Bell. I didn’t mean to offend you.”

Vivian patted the girl’s hand. “It’s okay, Abi. I understand. It’s natural for women your age to want things like that. Learn from the experiences of the people around you. Don’t repeat our mistakes, hmm?”

Abigail smiled slightly. “Thank you, Mrs. Bell.”

“So, do I have a younger sister now?” Jeremy said, surprising everyone. No one knew since when he already stood outside the gazebo. His hands were folded on the railing, embracing his slightly raised shoulders.

Abigail laughed at that joke. “You don’t mind having a little sister like me?” She pointed at her own nose.

“It seems my mother wants a daughter. So, I don’t mind. There’s no need for adoption to consider someone part of the family, right?”

While Diana smiled slightly, Vivian laughed softly. “Okay, then,” she put the hands of the three of them together, “from this moment on, we are family?”

Even though her laugh was light, Abigail’s eyes filled with tears. “Yeah, we’re family.”

Meanwhile, from a window overlooking the yard, Ava blinked slowly. Her gaze was fixated on how Vivian held Jeremy and Abigail’s hands

long breath, she glanced at the hand she was holding.

“Mom…,” she stroked the back of that motionless hand, “if only you can wake up, we can join in the party with them. We can celebrate New Year together, talk to each other.”

Not getting an answer, Ava exhaled again. Her shoulders dropped further. “I miss your voice, Mom.”

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. When Ava turned her head, Susan smiled softly.

“Mrs. Martin? You’re awake?”

Susan nodded. Her eye bags swelled as a result of disturbed sleep.” The twins can protest if we miss New Year’s Eve. Let’s go to the gazebo.”

Ava smiled modestly. “I’ll follow.”

“I just checked on Melanie. She’s sleeping very soundly, so you don’t need to bother waking her up.”

Ava nodded. “Okay. I understand. Thank you, Mrs. Martin.”

As Susan left, Ava got up from her chair. “I’m going away for a whi Mom. I’ll be back later, in the new year.”
