“Mommy is here” the kids screamed at once, as they rushed towards Hannah’s car.
Hannah alighted the car and the octuplets rushed towards her and hugged her.
“Oh, sweethearts,” Hannah said as she felt her heart leap up in joy. Seeing her kids being happy was the only thing giving her so much joy in this world. Without them, her world would be incomplete.
“Mommy, why didn’t you come to pick us up in time?” Allison asked as they all pulled away from the hug.
“I’m sorry honey, I was extremely tired. I had been arranging your room in our new home” Hannah said with a smile on her face.
“Really? Mommy?” Jayden asked and Hannah nodded slightly.
“Oh my goodness! Let’s go home mommy, I can’t wait to see our new house and room” the kids said at once, as they rushed inside the car, making Hannah smile.
Hannah entered the car, ignited the engine, and zoomed off.
The car came to a halt in front of Colby’s mansion. The children alighted the car and ran inside the mansion.
“Careful kids” Hannah yelled as she walked hastily towards the kids.
“Wow!” The kids muttered as they entered the house with a feeling of awe.
“Mommy, this is beautiful,” Addison said as they stared at the well-decorated house.
“You guys like it?” Hannah asked and the kids nodded in unison.
“Just wait, till I show you all your room, you gonna fall in love with it,” Hannah said and the kids nodded happily.
Hannah caught a glimpse of some of the maids staring at her and the kids. She scoffed and then turned to them.
“Please make sure dinner is served, I’ll be bringing them downstairs for dinner,” Hannah said and the maid nodded in response.
Hannah turned towards the kids and walked them upstairs to their room.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen the maids are seen humming at each other, gossiping about Hannah and her kids.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Oh my goodness! She has Octuplets” one of the maids said, surprised.
“I’m surprised too. How can she be a mother to those beautiful sets of octuplets, and yet still look so young and petite? She’s blessed. I’m in love with her shape and beauty” another maid said
“And I like her too, she’s so nice,” another maid said while another rolled her eyes.
“I don’t like her,” another maid said and hissed, while the rest of the maids shot her a deadly glare.
“Didn’t you guys notice something about the Octuplets?” Another maid asked
“What’s that?” Two maids asked in unison.
“The octuplets look so much like Mr. Colby,” the maids said and the rest hummed.
“I noticed that too” another maid said
“Do you think Mr. Colby is the father of the kids?” Another maid asked.
“I think so,” another maid said and the rest of the maids hummed.
“Common guys, let’s serve the food at the dining table before they come downstairs,” one of the maids said while the others returned to their position.
*********
The Octuplets are seen jumping on the king-size bed in the room. There are two king-size beds in the room, one for the boys, and one for the girls.
“Wow, mommy I love this house, ” Allison said happily
“I love this room too,” Addison said smiling.
“This Bed is so big,” Aubrey said
“And soft too,” Audrey said and Hannah smiled at them, she was glad they liked the house and they are happy. She wouldn’t wish for anything more than that.
She turned to the boys who were sitting on the bed, removing their school shoes. They had only admired the house but they hadn’t said anything since they entered the room. She began to wonder if they didn’t like the arrangement of the room.
“Jayden, Jamie, Jasper, Jaxon, what do you think about your new room? Do you guys love it?” Hannah asked
“Yes we do, it’s extremely beautiful, ” Jamie said and Hannah smiled.
“It’s beautiful, mommy,” Jaxon said and Hannah nodded.
“Seems like our daddy is rich because the whole house smells of wealth. Is he a rich CEO? I know he is. I have always loved rich CEOs.
Only a rich CEO can afford an expensive house like this. I wish to be a wealthy CEO in the future” Jayden said and Hannah smiled at him.
“Mommy, when are we meeting our new daddy?” Jasper asked and Hannah felt her heart twitch at once.
She didn’t know why she felt so nervous when the kids suddenly wanted to meet Brandon.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
“I’ll get your Nannies to come to help you guys take your bath and dress up, while I make sure dinner is served,” Hannah said and with that, she walked out of the room to hers.
She walked inside her room and sat on the bed. She took a deep breath as the thought of her introducing her kids to Brandon kept coming to her head.
She’s supposed to introduce them to each other but she doesn’t know if the cold-hearted CEO would want to meet her kids, and if he does want to meet them, she prays and hopes the kids like him.
She brought out her phone and decided to call Brandon.
The phone rang and immediately Brandon picked up. She didn’t want to beat around the bush, so she decided to go straight to the point.
“I would love to introduce you to my kids, they want to meet you in person,” Hannah said waiting for him to respond but he didn’t say a word.
“I would appreciate it if you drop by and meet them too,” Hannah said there was silence but then finally, he spoke.
“I’ll drop by when I close from the company, ” Brandon said coldly and Hannah gave out a breath of relief.
She thought he wouldn’t want to meet with her kids, but she was glad he was willing to meet. She thought.
She just hopes her kids like Brandon when they meet each other.
“One more thing, they believe the marriage is real and not a contract marriage….”
“You want me to act like the marriage is real in front of your kids?” Brandon asked, cutting off Hannah’s speech.
“No no, I meant…” Hannah stuttered and paused not knowing what else to say. She just wanted Brandon to pretend their marriage was real, was that too much to ask? She just doesn’t want her kids to feel she got married for something else and not love, she thought.
“Get someone else to do whatever you are thinking about. I don’t have time for that” Brandon said and with that, he ended the call.
