The three kids circled around Carla after getting into the house. They spoke endlessly
about what happened in the kindergarten over the past few days, as well as how awesome
their new house was.
Venus stuck to Carla and was hugging the latter's neck when she spoke coquettishly. "My
room is so big, mommy. There's even a piano in there, and it's so beautiful. Let me show
you."
"My room is really big too! There are tons of toy cars, model airplanes, and all sorts of toys, "
shared Josh eagerly. He crawled out of his wheelchair and onto the sofa because he
wanted to be closer to his mommy.
"Josh and I are staying in different rooms now. We all have our own room, " said Randy.
He couldn't wait to tell Carla, "There's a computer in my room, and there are tons of
high-tech stuff in there."
"That's great, " replied Carla. She stroked their tiny heads and said lovingly, "But I'm a
little tired today. I'll go check your rooms out tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, " replied the kids while nodding their heads.
"What's wrong, mommy? Are you still sick?" asked Venus. She placed her tiny, chubby hand
on Carla's forehead before comparing the temperature against her own head. "Hmm,
but you don't have a fever."
"I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after resting a few days, " said Carla, while stroking Venus's
chubby face.
"Let's not bother mommy anymore and let her rest, " suggested the good boy, Randy,
immediately, "It's Sunday tomorrow, so we don't need to go to school. We'll show you our
rooms then."
"Okay, " replied Carla. She nodded, then hugged her children before adding, "It's over
nine. Go shower and sleep now."
"Okay. Goodnight, mommy."
"Good night."
Carla waved at her three kids and watched as the nurses took them up the stairs.
They were delighted about their mommy being home, so they were skipping as they walked.
They even hummed.
Carla's lips curved into a beautiful grin when she saw them skipping that happily.
"Why not spend more time with the kids?" asked Zayn.
He walked over with a glass of icy drink for himself and a cup of tea for her.
Carla sipped some tea and said, "I think the kids and I should move back to our place."
"Why?" asked Zayn with a frown.
Carla shifted her attention to the maids and the security guards without saying anything.
"Leave us, " ordered Zayn.
"Understood." Everyone left after that.
Carla only spoke up after the door to the room was closed. "Is your grandpa sick?"
asked Carla.
"Yes. He's being treated in Kindness Hospital right now, " replied Zayn. He had never
planned on hiding anything from her.
"I think the kids and I should move back to my place until he regains consciousness. Let's
wait until he wakes up, and you can tell him everything about the kids. Once he accepted
everything, we can…"
"The kids are mine, so it doesn't matter if he accepts them, " interrupted Zayn before he
revealed, "Besides, he had always liked the triplets. I'm sure he will be ecstatic to hear this
news."
"But…" murmured Carla uneasily, "I feel that it's inappropriate. I'm moving in without an
actual title or anything."
"What's inappropriate about it?" demanded Zayn while frowning, "This is my home, and I
get to choose who I let stay here. No one can say anything about it, and you shouldn't put
so much pressure on yourself, either."
"Okay, I will accept that, but it's not convenient for the kids to stay here. Their school…"
"I already hired a driver for that. Someone will drive them over and pick them up from
school. The time taken to travel to school will remain the same because they won't need to
wait for the school bus, " shared Zayn, who had thought of everything. "You should rest
up and heal at home while my grandpa is hospitalized. Once he wakes up, I will discuss the
matter with him and prep for the wedding."
"Wedding?"
Carla had never even considered that before. That night from four years ago, and their
reunion four years later… So much had happened in between that she didn't think she'd get
to marry him.
