The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 831

Chapter 831: Woo Him

"Wow. Just... wow." Haji, who was in the large garden area of the mansion, stared in awe at the official website of tonight’s betting pool. "They blame Miss Penny, but look at them—enabling her gambling addiction."

"Are you going to place your bet?"

Haji snapped his eyes up and turned, catching Yuri sitting on the bench with him. Yuri smiled subtly while he studied her.

"So, you’re okay?" he asked, knowing Yuri had rushed to Anteca with her brother because of their mother.

Before she left, she had told him about her last will—just in case she didn’t make it. Haji had been in Novera on vacation and only now had the chance to see her.

"Okay?" Yuri repeated, lifting her eyes as she looked around. "Are you asking whether I’m alive? Then yes, I am."

She snapped her gaze back to Haji. "My mom wants me to quit the Order."

"Huh?"

"Apparently, she’s aware—or rather, vaguely aware—of what I’m doing," she explained. "And she told me she’s going to kill me if I put her in a situation where she has to bury her own child."

"Huh..." Haji rocked his head thoughtfully. "So, you’re leaving?"

Yuri blinked at him, then tilted her head to the side. "Haji, tell me the truth. Are you dumb?"

His face twitched while she leaned back, looking away.

"I like the Order and the freedom I have in it," she said. "If I leave now, there are a lot of things I won’t be able to do."

Hearing that, Haji nodded as he recalled what had happened after Yuri left. Although she had gone home to show her face to her mother after months away, Yuri had asked Atlas to check on the underground brawl hosted by Vito.

Thanks to Mint and Hugo, who still had plenty of connections, they were able to prioritize the victims of Vito’s syndicate. Some of them had been abducted and were eventually sent back home.

"What about you?" she asked, jerking her chin in a direction.

When Haji turned and his eyes fell on Scarlet, Yuri added, "You should give it a go. You should ask her on a date tonight."

His face soured as he looked at her in utter dismay. He scoffed, and before he could say anything, she spoke again.

"Who knows? You might get laid tonight," she shrugged. "I told you. She likes you."

"Zip it." He irritably jumped from his seat. "Hey, leave me alone, alright? Just leave me alone."

He clicked his tongue and walked away irritably, looking for another good spot to hide. He had heard the twins were looking for him, so he’d been avoiding them.

But just as he turned toward the dirty kitchen, he froze.

Jumping right in front of him were the twins, both wearing big smiles.

"Give me a break," he muttered, but the twins happily spoke.

"Uncle Haji, can you help us?" Second asked politely, while Chacha had already grabbed his hand. "Come on. Help us create an alibi for our little cousins. You see, they did something and were accomplices. So proud of them."

Haji ground his teeth as both of his hands were dragged away by the twins.

And to think she’s having another one... god damn it!

Meanwhile, Yuri kept her eyes on Haji’s retreating figure before the corners of her lips curled up.

"He probably is a little dummy," she muttered. "Didn’t even ask why I approached him in the first place."

Her smile widened as she discreetly shifted her gaze to the side, catching Scarlet leaning against one of the trees. However, her attention was soon drawn elsewhere when she saw a figure rushing by with Izu.

When Yuri moved her gaze, it landed on Allen and Izu. However, her focus lingered on Allen.

"Hah," she huffed and pulled out her phone, dialing someone’s number.

As she listened to it ring, Yuri rose from the bench and approached the person she was calling. Meanwhile, Allen slowed his steps and checked his phone.

"Sir Allen," Izu called.

Allen nodded at him. "Go ahead first. I’ll take this call."
