Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy novel Chapter 105

Just as Mark was only a few centimeters away from Lyla’s lips, a flick sounded, and the lights immediately brightened the room.

Lyla and Mark looked at each other.

Lyla had accidentally touched the light switch on the wall, so...

“Um, if there’s nothing else, let’s go out and eat. They must be waiting outside!” Lyla said. She side-stepped and walked out before Mark had the chance to speak.

Mark stood there, suddenly feeling very annoyed. Why did he press her against the wall? He should have pressed her on the bed instead!

Thinking this, he also went out, frustrated.

Outside, Lyla was already seated and ready to eat. She did not even glance at Mark.

Mark rolled his eyes at her, wondering if this woman was just doing it on purpose.

At that moment, Gretel looked at Mark. “Daddy, let’s dig in!”

“Okay!” Mark agreed and walked over. He sat beside Lyla, but Lyla did not even look at him, as if he did not exist.

Hansel brought up the last dish and sat opposite them. He could feel that Mummy was like a different person now compared to when she first came back. It was clear that she had regained her composure.

What did Daddy say to Mummy?

However, it seemed that only Daddy could cure Mummy. Sure enough, they were the best match for each other.

Thinking this way, Hansel’s mood instantly improved as well.

“Eat, eat!” Hansel said.

They did not say anything else and started to dig in.

Mark got up. “I’m going to wash my hands.” Then, he went straight towards the bathroom.

Lyla watched Mark. He looked like he was in his own home, so accustomed and natural.

Lyla could not help but frown.

“Why is he so familiar with our home?” Lyla asked Hansel.

Hansel froze at the words. “Is he?”

“He is!”

“I… I don’t know!” Then, he lowered his eyes and quickly started to eat. He did not know anything. He did not know anything at all.

However, the more he acted like that, the more Lyla found it strange.

When Mark washed his hands and settled back down, Lyla took the opportunity to ask him. “Mr. Pattinson, you seem to be very familiar with my home!” He was able to accurately pull her back to her room and accurately find the kitchen. If it were a person’s first time here, they would be looking around, but Mr. Pattinson was different. He was familiar with the house as if it were his own.

When she finished speaking, Mark understood her meaning. “Well, after living here for a few days, of course I’m familiar with it!”

Hansel was left speechless at Mark’s words.

He lowered his eyes, looking frustrated. He told Daddy not to say, not to say, but Daddy still told her.

Mark Pattinson must be doing this on purpose!

He was declaring his sovereignty!

Lyla could give up on trying to push him out again.

The smile on Lyla’s face had an unspeakable strangeness to it. She looked at Hansel. “Sweetheart, you’re really such a good boy…”

Hansel hung his head and continued to eat. He saw nothing. He heard nothing...

“Lyla, you were the one who said that if I want to see them, I can come at any time and take them!” Mark said. What was the meaning of the expression on that woman’s face? Was she disdaining him?

“Yes, I admit that I said that. However, Mr. Pattinson, I didn’t say that you could stay here!”

“Is that so?”

“Yes!”

“Then what if I want to see them at night?”

“Then you can take them!”

“Both of them?”

Lyla. “...”

She felt uneasy.

Mark knew as well.

“That’s why it’s more convenient for the both of us if I stay here!” Mark said with a smile.

Lyla rolled her eyes. This man was definitely doing it on purpose. However, what he said was not unreasonable. For her peace of mind, he could come whenever he wanted.

The topic did not continue any further.

Seeing Lyla’s silence, Mark knew that he got his way. He gave Hansel a look as if saying, ‘See that? It’s settled.’

Hansel secretly gave him a big thumbs up.

It seemed like only Daddy could cure Mummy.

…...

On the other side.

It was already night. After Kathleen left the hospital, she walked along the road and unknowingly reached the seaside.

She had just miscarried. Her face was so pale that it was frightening, but her long hair draped behind her added a kind of morbid beauty to her.

She came out while still wearing the hospital gown.

Standing by the sea, she looked like she was in despair. Her home was sealed and her parents were detained, leaving her alone with nowhere to go. Even her fiance only had another person constantly in his mind...

Thinking about this, she closed her eyes in pain.

She was in so much despair that she could no longer feel anything.

She hated Lyla Lowe, and she hated Mark Pattinson.

She hated everyone...

However, there was nothing she could do now!!!

Her feet slowly moved forward. The land breeze blew at night, and the high tide washed over her wave by wave, very quickly submerging half her body. She continued walking, and soon, the sea engulfed her entire body...

Since it was night, there was no one at the seaside, and no one saw this scene. Soon, she disappeared into the sea…

…...

Lyla shook her head. “Of course not. Take a seat anywhere, Senior. Do you want anything to drink?”

“It’s fine. You’re still injured. Come and rest!” Arden said.

Although he said so, Lyla still brought him a cup of coffee.

“I’m fine now!” Lyla laughed and sat opposite him.

“How did you get injured? Have you gotten a checkup? Do you want to go for another checkup?” Arden asked a string of questions at once. His worried expression made Lyla stunned for a moment.

“I’m okay now. I’ll be able to go back to work after a few more days of rest!” Lyla smiled in embarrassment.

Arden seemed to realize that he got slightly agitated and calmed down. “How did you get injured?”

“It was probably when I got robbed…”

“Robbed?” Arden frowned again. “Then… Are there any other problems besides your injury?” Arden did not know how to ask, worried that Lyla had suffered some losses.

“No, I just got a slight wound!” Lyla said calmly.

After staring at her for a long time and not spotting anything strange, Arden finally put his mind at ease. “Did you make a report?”

“Yeah, I did!”

Arden nodded. He looked at her and hesitated again. “Lyla, actually…”

Just as he was about to say something, the door opened with a ‘click’.

A small figure appeared in the doorway of the bedroom, facing the living room door.

Gretel held a stuffed bear, appearing at the door while rubbing her sleepy eyes. She called out lazily, “Mummy!”

It seemed like she had just woken up.

“Mummy?” Arden was stunned.

Seeing that there was another person here, and more importantly that the little girl had called Lyla ‘Mummy’, Arden’s mind stopped functioning.

“She’s…” Arden looked at Gretel, not knowing what to say.

At that time, Gretel had already walked towards Lyla. Seeing a stranger at home, she blinked adorably at Arden. “Mummy, is he a guest? Who is he?”

“Call him Uncle!”

“Hello, Uncle!” Gretel smiled at Arden. It was the same smile as Lyla had, and it completely stunned Arden.

W-What was going on?

He looked at Lyla, not knowing what to say for a long time. “She’s you…”

“Oh, she’s my daughter, Gretel!” Lyla said calmly. She had a smile at the corner of her lips, not minding Arden’s reaction at all.

Hansel and Gretel were God’s greatest gifts to her.

Daughter?

Although Arden had already heard her call Lyla ‘Mummy’, he was still unwilling to admit it.

“Is she adopted?” He asked with a hint of hope.

That was because deep in his heart, he was unable to accept this fact.
