Planned Baby novel Chapter 40

I decided to stop forcing Quen to tell me about my lost memories. I know he means well, he always did. He is my best friend after all. I still want to know the memories I lost but at the same time, I’m scared to find them out. I feel like those memories will have a big impact on my relationship with Ellie. I just can’t figure out exactly what it is.

Ellie and I were free from work because today is Saturday. Weekends are always dedicated to our twins. When the twins came out from the world, Ellie and I agreed that we can be very busy with work from Monday to Friday but our time during weekends will be solely for the twins. Our work can’t disturb our weekends no matter what happens.

And I think we did a great job because the twins are very understanding whenever Ellie and I were busy with work. Ellie sometimes goes home very late for two or three consecutive days and the kids will not be able to see her presence during those days. They never complain because Ellie never missed a weekend with them.

“I’m so excited to go to the amusement park!” Amelia said can’t hide her excitement.

“Dad, did you ask Auntie Kaela about our plan today?” Alistair asked.

I frowned. “No. Why will I tell her?”

Alistair pouted his lips. “I’m sure Auntie will want to go with us.”

“I’m sure she will but your Auntie is busy preparing for her business trip in the States,” I explained to him.

Alistair's eyes widen. “She didn’t tell me! How long will she stay there?”

I just shook my head. Alistair has a crush on her Auntie Kaela. I can’t understand why she likes her Auntie?! Kaela is nothing but a childish adult. She’s my sister and our age difference are not that huge but because of how she acts, I feel like our age gap is 5 or even 10 years.

“I don’t know honey. But you know that your Auntie Kaela will be the one who will handle the upcoming hotels in the States since we need to expand our hotels in America.” I explained to him.

Since my engagement with Adelson was canceled, our hotels need to give special attention to our branch in the States. Adelson was dominating the hotels in the USA and we need to keep up with them. Kaela was the one assigned the task. She is the best person for the job because she studied there.

“Why Alistair’s face is like that?” Ellie said when she went down to the living room.

The kids and I were waiting for her to finish with all her beauty routine so that we can finally go to the amusement park.

“It’s because of Kaela’s business trip,” I told her.

She just nodded as she understands the situation.

“Alistair you need to understand that Aunt Kaela is not really staying here in the Philippines. She was only here because she wants to spend more time with you and Amelia. If you want, you can go with your Aunt Kaela when you are already an adult. You can even study there if you want and even help her to manage the hotels.” Ellie said to encourage him.

But Alistair pouted more. “But I’m not into hotels mommy. I want to be like you and I want to take over your company so that you can relax and spend more time with Daddy.”

“Oh my! My son is so sweet! I love you, baby!” Ellie said then she gave a warm hug to our son.

That’s my boy!

“Hey, mom! I want a hug too!” Amelia said while pouting her lips.

Ellie chuckled and went to Amelia to give her a hug and a kiss.

“What about Daddy?” I said pouting my lips as well.

The twins went to me and gave me a kiss and hug. I pouted again. “What about you Ellie?”

Ellie’s face reddened. “Stop acting like a child Ulie! Let’s go!”

I look at the twins and ask for their help. They went to their mother to convince her.
