Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy novel Chapter 292

“I think Lingo is right!” Gretel said seriously as if there was no problem with what Lingo had said. She looked at Hansel and thought that the problem was with Hansel.

Hansel, “...”

It's over.

It had only been a short while, but Hansel felt that Gretel had already been affected by Lingo’s bad influence.

He shook his head helplessly, “Sigh, a woman’s heart is the most wicked!”

Once he said this, Lingo and Gretel rolled their eyes at him.

“You don’t have a choice. You’re destined to be surrounded by some great women!” Lingo said word by word.

Gretel agreed with her. She raised her hand, Lingo followed her lead, and the pair high fived.

Hansel did not want to say anything anymore. He looked up at Piers, who was on the side. Piers also shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

He could only keep silent and eat. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, so it was better for him to just speak less.

Some said that three women were enough to form a drama. However, Piers realized that this already seemed to be happening with just the two of them here.

Piers would rather offend Hansel than offend women.

‘Yeah, it’s settled then!’

……

Logan had an indescribable excitement.

It was already 4:00 p.m. when he took Jesse back.

The moment he entered the house, he was caught by Eileen as she had just woken up from a nap. She went to see Jesse, only to find that he was not in the room. She started to become anxious, so their housekeeper told her that Logan had brought Jesse out.

Logan rarely took Jesse out!

She knew this very well.

Therefore, as soon as they entered the door, Eileen looked at them. “Where did you go?”

“Uh, Mom!”

“Where did you take him?”

“Nowhere, I just took him out for a drive!” Logan said with guilt.

“A drive?” Eileen raised an eyebrow. Obviously, she did not believe him. “Since when did you like to take him out?”

Logan laughed mischievously. “Well, I’m still his uncle. So, isn’t bringing him out something I should do?”

“It is something that you should do, but you’ve never brought him out before this!”

Logan, “Yeah, that’s why I brought him out just now!” He looked at Jesse and said, “Right?”

The two of them had already planned what they should say, so Jesse just nodded when he heard this. “Yeah!”

It was not easy to fool Eileen. She looked at them and asked, “Where did you go?”

“We went to eat KFC!” Jesse said.

Logan smiled with satisfaction.

“Did it taste good?”

“It was delicious! Uncle promised me that he’ll take me out to eat it again next time!” Jesse said happily.

“Don’t eat these types of things too much! It’s not good for your health!” Eileen said.

Jesse nodded. “Okay then, let’s eat something else next time!” Jesse acted cleverly and obediently.

Eileen’s eyes were still on them. Sometimes, to be able to deceive oneself was a skill. Nonetheless, she felt glad they could get along well.

She did not continue to speak anymore. Logan was sharp and realized this. “Jesse, you can chat with Grandma for a while. I’ll go upstairs first!"

“Okay!”

Logan then immediately went upstairs.

Jesse leaned towards Eileen. Logan did not know what they were doing. However, judging by the atmosphere there, they seemed to be getting along well. Logan watched them from upstairs, relieved, and went back to the room.

Once he went in, he took out his phone to make a call.

“Hey, Mike, I remember that you know a boxing coach?”

“Help me contact him. I want him to be my personal trainer!”

…...

After hanging up the phone, Logan was filled with determination.

No matter what, he must get stronger so that he can protect Lingo!

This kind of determination made every cell in his body move actively...

…...

Meanwhile, in America.

After several days of treatment, the blood clot in Felix’s brain had still not been dissolved.

Although Lyla was anxious to go home, she still had to endure it.

She knew that there were three days left until the death anniversary of Mark’s mother. At first, she thought that Felix would have the surgery after arriving in America. This way, as long as the surgery was successful, she could go back and still catch up...

However, she did not expect...

Everything was beyond her expectations and imagination.

In the past few days, after Lyla went back every night, she would have a call or video call with Mark.

Sometimes, Lyla would even fall asleep as they chatted.

This short parting seemed to make the two miss each other even more.

The next day, when Lyla woke up, her phone had already run out of battery. She did not remember where they stopped yesterday or when she fell asleep. She probably just fell asleep sometime during the call while her phone was still on.

After charging her phone, she immediately went to wash up. Her phone could finally be turned on when she was done washing up.

She checked the time and found out that the call was hung up at 3:00 a.m.

After thinking about it, she sent a text message to Mark and went to the hospital.

Felix was still doing his routine checkups. When Lyla was free, she looked at her phone but did not see any messages from Mark.

Usually, Mark would reply to her instantly, but this time… Could it be that he was still asleep?

They talked until it was quite late last night, so Lyla just thought that Mark had not woken up.

Lyla could not help but smile as she thought about this.

Lyla did not really need to do anything in the hospital. She just spent most of the time chatting with Felix. However, the more she did that, the more she felt tired at the end of the day.

She just looked at her phone from time to time.

However, Mark still had not sent any texts to her.

When she was free, she sent a few more text messages, but there was still no response from him.

Lyla could not help but begin overthinking about it.

This kind of situation had never happened before.

Finally, she dialed Mark’s phone while going to the bathroom.

“Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off…”

“It's okay!” Lyla smiled at him. She then looked at him and asked, “How about you? How do you feel today?”

“Lyla…”

“Yeah?”

“If, if I forgot about you, what would you do?” he said suddenly.

Lyla was startled. Her first reaction was that his condition may have worsened.

Lyla suddenly looked a little worried. Just as she was about to get up, Felix grabbed her. “Where are you going?”

“I'm going to look for the doctor!”

“What are you looking for the doctor for?”

“Of course, I’m going to ask about your situation!"

“I'm fine!”

“But you…”

“I’m just asking!”

Lyla looked at him carefully, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.

“I just want to know, what will you do if I forget about you?”

“Are you really okay?” Lyla asked worriedly.

Felix nodded firmly.

Lyla breathed a sigh of relief. “Don't make such unnecessary assumptions, okay? I don’t want to answer such meaningless questions before it happens!”

Felix looked at her. “I just want to know the answer!”

Lyla looked at him and just said three words, “There’s no answer!”

Felix looked at her with slight disappointment, but he still smiled and said nothing.

He felt like there was an indescribable knot in the bottom of his heart.

‘Even if you’ll hate yourself and blame me in the future, I’ll still keep you by my side… At all costs.’

……

At night, Shadow sent Lyla back to the hotel.

The moment she entered, she immediately took out her phone and continued calling Mark, but his phone was still turned off.

She kept calling repeatedly, yet it was still that same mechanical voice.

Lyla became even more worried. She had been with him for so long, but such a situation had never happened before. This was why she was getting so anxious.

She called Hansel again.

“Mommy!”

“How is it? Is there any news from your daddy?”

“I went back home to check, but Daddy wasn’t at home!”

“Not at home?” Lyla frowned. “Then where could he be?”

“I don’t know either!”

Lyla was worried, but this at least meant that something did not happen to Mark at home. “Okay, I see. Call me quickly if you have any news!”

“I know!”

After hanging up the phone, Lyla was no longer in the mood to do anything. She walked around the room, looking at her phone from time to time, but her phone never rang.
