The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 764

Chapter 764: Just A Tweak

"This will only end if I put things back in their rightful place."

Lola felt her body lean back, her eyes fixed on the pair shining beneath the shadow of his hood. The man stood before her in a priestly robe with a hood draped over his head. His face was swallowed by darkness, but she could feel his gaze on her.

"Put things back in their rightful place?" she repeated, torn between disbelief and ridicule at how that sounded. "Who... do you think you are?"

The man studied her expression, tilting his head slightly. "We used to be good friends... Lola."

"Huh?"

"In our first life," he pointed out. "Not the one you remember, but the real one."

Her brows knitted as she stared at him, trying to understand everything he was saying. Perhaps she was even buying herself time until she figured out what was happening. Or how she could get her limp legs moving again.

"You were younger back then, loved by your mother, Jasmine, and your father. If I remember correctly, his name was Mike. They were devout believers who raised their daughter from nothing," he remarked. "Both of them worked hard to rise above the hardships they grew up with. They fell in love young and tried their best to live better lives, especially for their daughter."

"What..." she trailed off, astounded by this narrative as if it were some kind of parallel world. "...the fuck?"

He chuckled. "You wouldn’t even say things like that. You were very... proper back then. I remember you planned to enter the monastery to become a nun. You loved doing missionary and volunteer work, and you were very helpful to the church."

At this point, Lola was convinced the man was insane. Completely crazy! Jasmine and Mike being proper parents? Those two were rotten to begin with! And Lola? With the church? That sounded like a hallucination.

"You would’ve become a nun and even promised me you’d serve in my church," he added, unbothered by the growing doubt in her eyes. His eyelids drooped dangerously as he continued, "But then, you met him."

"Huh?"

"Atlas Bennet, who had visited the church for the first time," he clarified. "He wanted you at first sight."

Lola blinked, her cheeks slowly turning red. She scratched her cheek with her forefinger, and a sheepish voice slipped out.

"Really?"

"You look happy, Lola."

She bit her lip, momentarily forgetting about her paralyzed legs and the danger of the entire situation. "Is it obvious? Hehe."

"He raped you."

"What?"

"What the—"

"They used to be good people. A loyal and supportive couple who supported their daughter’s desire to become a nun, and even her sudden change of mind." He chuckled. "So I thought that if I made them a little less supportive... and took you away from the church, I was doing this world a favor."

Hearing that, Lola felt her heart suddenly drop. "What?"

"Unfortunately, tweaking your parents’ lives and removing you from the church wasn’t enough. If anything, it only hastened your fate and made you meet him earlier than you should have," he sighed heavily. "Worse, in the second timeline, you’re still the last face I saw."

His eyes softened as he remembered the look on her face the second time around. Her face, each time, was etched clearly into his memory. After all, it was the last thing he had seen in his first two lives.

The first and the second... he was forced to look at her dead face in the coffin. Each time, she was dead.

"You’re not making a lot of sense," she hissed. "Fine. Let’s say Jasmine, Mike, and I are involved. That we were like what you said we were. But do you really think I’ll believe that?"

She laughed, thinking of a plot hole in his story. "Atlas wouldn’t have been in the Zorken family if not for Penny. He took over the Shadow Order in Zoren’s stead."

"Right," he nodded. "Of course, it wouldn’t make sense to you. After all, you only know the story of the third life—the one before this one. To understand it, it will take time. It begins with the old woman of the Pierson family, Old Mrs. Pierson."
