The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 35

Alex

I was so shocked that I couldn't move, I'm sure Tracy was shocked too because she stopped moving too.

I would have expected everything but not my dad playing with the twins like this, the twins were sitting on his legs and playing with his beards while he made funny faces to make them laugh.

I looked at Tracy whose mouth was hanging open, then I looked back at my dad and the twins who haven't noticed us yet.

"Do you think we are in some kind of Alternate universe?" Tracy asked whispering

"Yeah I do," I replied whispering too

My dad noticed us and cleared his throat, while the kids kept playing with his beards.

"What?" He asked as we kept staring at him

"What?"

"I'm playing with my grandchildren." He said as if we asked him what he was doing, my father is not the type that plays with kids, I don't have any memory of him playing with me and my sister when we were younger.

"I didn't notice your car or anything, why?" I asked sitting on the sofa

"Yeah, the driver dropped me here then he left, he'll bring my suitcase tomorrow."

"Why didn't you bring mum?"

"Why should I bring her?, She doesn't even want to see me."

"What did you do again?"

"Mind your business." He said and I shook my head.

"You can sleep in my room tonight."

"Son, I'm sleeping in your room till I leave." He said and I rolled my eyes

"Let's go get ready for bed," Tracy said and the kids went with her.

"I'd be going to bed too then." My dad said and we both went upstairs, I showed my dad my room and I joined Tracy in the kid's room.

We read them their new bedtime story and when we were sure they were asleep we left their room then we went into Tracy's room.

Things were awkward at first as we both sat on the edge of the bed, I had to break the silence.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm good."

"I hope my dad didn't stress you much."

"No he didn't, so what is he like? Your dad."

"I'd say overly ambitious, maybe he doesn't know he is overly ambitious, but then he is, he doesn't have time for his kids, his family in general but he has a soft spot for our mum, they argue a lot about things but then he has a soft spot for her."

"Then why did you tell me you are as good as an orphan when we met?"

"Oh that, because I was mad at them, my Dad forced me to come and close a deal for him here, my mum supported him so yeah, I was mad at them."

"You and your dad, you are similar."

"What do you mean?"
