Chapter 75 – The kids
Arriving home, I entered the house to see Mia sitting in the living room and staring hard at me. I sighed as I proceeded to take the stairs, but paused on her question “Where have you been? It’s nine-thirty pm and you’re just walking into the house and ignoring my presence”
“Please Mia, not today,” I said, trying to bring whatever discussion she was trying to bring up to a halt, but she wasn’t having it.
“Where have you been, Ethan? Where are you coming from? You left home in the morning, and you’re coming in by this time” she said rudely, her voice sharp.
“I just had a few shots of alcohol, and I’m not ready to exchange words with you Mia,” I said, taking another step on the stairs while she continued her question.
“Were you at Monica’s house?” She asked, her voice laced with jealousy.
“Yes,” I replied, not having any strong reason to lie. Taking the stairs, I noticed a deep frown on her face and she began following me up the stairs.
“What did you do there? Did you go to see Monica? Ethan, are you cheating on me?” Her sharp voice echoed in the living room as she climbed the stairs behind me. “Ethan”
“Do you think Monica is like you?” I said, clenching my fist as I glared at her.
“Excuse me,” she said, shocked by my question.
“Yes Mia, do you think Monica is like you? Monica isn’t the type of person who takes people’s husbands, so don’t worry about her taking yours”, I said, and she instantly fell silent, wearing a sad expression on her face.
The plan was to go home, get to the guest room, and sleep but Mia was making this night a little difficult.
I got to the room and started unbuttoning my white sleeve shirt sluggishly, but my hands fell to my side when I heard mia voice behind me
“You still haven’t answered my question, Ethan. What did you do in her house? Were you alone with her?” Mia asked, her voice slightly raised.
“I went to the Nicholas house from the office today because I found out something about the kids,” I said, my eyes half closed as I felt like just dropping on the bed and sleeping.
“About her kids? What about her kids? How does her kid concern you?” Mia asked, further stretching the issue.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I found out that they’re mine,” I said, taking out my shirt and dropping it in the laundry basket in the room.
“Your kids? Monica, kids are yours”, Mia yelled in shock and I instantly glared at her.
“Stop screaming like you’ve lost it,” I said harshly. I sighed as I just crashed on the bed, intending to sleep, but Mia sat on the edge of the bed with more annoying and tiring questions.
“This is good news, Ethan. This means you aren’t impotent. I can’t believe Monica was pregnant with your child all this while. This means I’m also a mother.”
“Do you think you have the right to call yourself that? You took your best friend’s husband and made him send her away, and now you find out that she had a child with him, and you call yourself the child’s mother. That is disgusting, Mia. You’re pathetic”, I spat vehemently.
“I don’t care about anything you say. I’m happy that Monica has kids and that makes me a stepmother because I’m your wife. I’m also their aunt because Monica is my sister” Mia stared at the ceiling dreamily. “This is a great reunion.”
“Stop dreaming Mia. You don’t deserve any of those titles. You’re too dirty and disgusting to say such” I said harshly.
Mia was very cunning, and it was one of the very reasons I broke up with her during our first relationship before meeting Monica.
“So what’s the next step?” She asked excitedly.
“What step?” I asked, irked by her question.
“Are you going to take full custody of the kids? I think you should sue Monica in court for keeping your kids away from you all this while” she said, pissing me off.
“Can you hear yourself? Do you remember that I was the one who sent her out when she was pregnant” I said.
“And you did that because you didn’t know she was pregnant,” Mia said.
“But Monica tried to tell me but because I was manipulated by you, I didn’t want to listen to her. She entered a marriage contract with Nicholas and Nicholas claimed the kids ”
“What! Monica and Nicholas are bonded by a contract?” Mia asked in shock.
“Not anymore. They’re now officially together” I said.
“So what about the kids? You also have a right to them as their father” Mia said, not willing to end the discussion.
“I’m aware of that and Monica came up with a peaceful plan. I can come to see the kids anytime I want and spend time with them”
“Them? How many are they exactly?” Mia asked in confusion and her question made me frown
“I’ve been saying kids all this while and nothing happened to your empty brain?” I asked, getting tired of the dumbass woman I have as a wife. I still can’t believe I sent Monica out of my life because of Mia.
“I didn’t notice it. Does this mean there are two of them?” She asked.
“Mason and Macy are the names of my kids, and they are twins” I explained, a smile appearing on my lips as I felt proud to call them mine.
“Wow, Ethan, that’s huge. I couldn’t even think you could have a child talk more of having two already. This is good news” Mia said excitedly, but there was something about her excitement that I didn’t trust.
“So when are we going to see them?” She asked, a broad smile on her face.
“We? There’s no WE Mia. I’m going to see them tomorrow, and you’re not coming with me darling” I stated, turning to my side as my eyes began closing gradually.
“I’m going with you tomorrow and that’s final” Mia uttered angrily and stormed out of the room, not closing the door behind her.
I chuckled as I found her attitude childish. Tomorrow was going to be the first time I was going to touch Macy and Mason and I looked forward to it.
