My phone rang, a call from mon. She sounded worried. “I’m close,” I said.

Isaw Daniel, Mason’s PA, in the reception. He must be here for Mason.

I was grateful I didn’t see Mason while walking back.

Liam sprang into my hand when I opened the door; I held the flask far from him so that it wouldn’t pour anything

I picked him up and walked forward.

“You stayed out for long. And I thought, like me, you got lost.”

“Mom can’t get lost. And even if she does, she’ll always find her way back to her babies.” I placed a kiss on his forehead. Assuring him of my love which

“When I got lost earlier, I was scared.” He began, and I felt a prick in my heart at the thought of how I had snapped at him earlier,

“I was scared earlier. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” He raised his hand, playing with his fingers. “But mom, you won’t believe what I saw.” He began,

“What did you see?” I tried to match his enthusiasm.

Mom Gloria was by my side, reading a book to Melanie, who was sleeping. She mad in a low tone, probably in fear of waking he

“She don’t look like me or grandma.” He paused and held my eyes

“But I finally saw someone who looks like Melanie,

“You did?” he nodded.

I reached for the small bag at the side, which contained the chocolate, and gave him a bar. He montered thanks and continued.

“He had thick dark brown hair like Melanie, and his face was just like hers.”

“Where did you see this man?” I asked. My mind was already spinning

“Earlier at the receptionist,” He took a bite from his chocolate and spoke between mouthfuls of it, “He was tall and handsome.

I could also see the striking resemblance between them. But I’ve always pushed it away, hoping it would change as she grew, but it didn’t

She looks more and more like him as she grows..

This was one of the reasons why I didn’t ever want Mason to see the twins. I fear he may be able to tell that they were his kids and he would take them away from me.

But I can’t ever allow that. I can’t live without my babies.

“Did he speak to you?” Lasked.

He nodded again.

“What did he say?” I asked.

“he kicked his legs on the chair, finishing the bar of chocolate,

He placed the brown envelope on the table. My eyes trailed over the shelf of books by the side,

“I’m sorry I couldn’t give you my full attention earlier,” Faid, I held my hands together on my lap

“Oh, it’s fine.” He sent me a smile. My eyes dropped to the envelope. That was the result of the final test they did for Melanie
