Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 68 – Grandpapa

“Daddy!” They yell, wrapping their arms in hugs around his legs. Victor laughs, greeting them, feeling his stress almost melt away.

“Hey boys, good day at school?” he asks.

“Yes, it was awesome,” Ian says, grinning up at him. The door creaks again and Victor looks up to give Evelyn a smile as well.

“We got in trouble, though,” Alvin says, clearly more worried about it than his twin. “The teacher found our insect collection…”

Victor looks at Evelyn for clarity. She rolls her eyes and puts her bag up on the table. “They’ve been studying bugs in class and your sons decided that the best way to do this was to collect all the bugs they could find in some of the teacher’s desk drawers.”

“Oh,” Victor says, raising his eyebrows and looking down at them. “I imagine she didn’t like that.”

“I don’t see why it was such a big problem,” Ian says, rolling his eyes dismissively. “They were organized by genus and species.”

“Just…a bunch of stressful conversations today, with Willard and Annabeth Prath.”

“Oh,” Evelyn says, raising her eyebrows. “That sounds…intense.” Victor nods, chuckling a little at the understatement and sliding his glass of whiskey onto the counter.

“Well, I could use a perk,” Evelyn says, smiling at him. “Do you want a cup of coffee? We could talk it through.”

“Actually,” Victor says, intrigued by the idea, “coffee sounds like precisely what I need.”
