Chapter 122
It’s been a week since Smiles left LA back home, she’s getting over her pain with the help of Keane and her babies.
She felt even more better after having to talk with Derrick about their mom, both siblings had themselves and family to love.
Smiles walk out with a tray of pastries… “Here everyone, we’ve got some delicious pastries made by your chef cook, Keane Austin!” She said the smile in her voice couldn’t be ignored.
Keane stands by the side, hands on the waist like a superhero. Well, he isn’t a superhero but he is a super dad and husband to his kids and wife.
“Oh common now, we all know this will be a complete disaster!” Derrick jokes, knowing Keane can never cook.
Smiles and laughed heartily, Derrick’s face was one to die for.
Before Keane could open his mouth to defend himself, Smiles beat him to it.
“I bet you will regret your words after tasting this delicious piece of work made by my sweetheart” Smiles brush on Keane’s chin, tipto, e and kiss his lips.
“Don’t think I will get jealous, I’ve got my queen right here ” Derrick turns and brushes his jaw against Lisa’s face before he bites on her earlobe sending shivers down her spine.
“And I’m certain nothing good comes. I’ll come out of that pastry, it’s bad news” Derrick laughs, he’s been funny right now. His gaze at Keane was mocking, yet playful.
“What if it does turn out to be good?” Smiles asked with a raised brow.
Derrick seemed to think for a while, “A thousand dollars set, but if I win you guys will give me double,” he said with all confidence that they will lose.
“Agree” Smiles place down the tray on the table as they all grab a bite.
The smile on Smile’sface was so wide as she stared at Derrick with an i-told-you gaze.
Derrick’s gaze darts across the couple, unsure of what to say. “This is not fair… you guys cheated. There is no way Keane can prepare such delicious pastries” he complains, finding it so hard to lose to Keane.
It’s not about him losing but the fact that Keane can cook this well got him going crazily insane.
Smiles and laughs, extending her hands and demanding the money. “Don’t you ever underestimate my hubby, never” She sounded so proud and contempted.
Reluctantly, Derrick pulls out his wallet and counts out the money. “I’m just doing this for peace’s sake, still not convinced” He glared at Keane who had a victorious smile on his face.
“I promise to prepare you a more delicious one at home” Derrick whispers to Lisa, shcan’t’t help but smile.
“And it will be the best ever,” Lisa adds, resting her head on his shoulder.
“Careful man, don’t go burning down the kitchen,.” Keane said, reminding him of his last attempt to make noodles and it turned out to be burned noodles.
“I’ve got it under control” Even though Derrick knows he’s a loser when it comes to cooking, he didn’t want to let Keane take all the credit.
“By the way, where are the children, it has been suspiciously co, ld,” Lisa said remembering shhadn’t’t seen any of the twins.
Kate would have loved to hang around her all through their stay. And she loves it when the little girl is with her.
“Oh, they are with grandma and grandpa. They are totally enjoying their stay there” Smiles said, sipping on her juice.
“So sad I won’t get to see my baby” Lisa sounds sad, she doesn’t know why but she loves the little girl to a fault.
“We’ve got happy news to share with you guys” Derrick starts, holding down Lisa’s hand as he squeezes it gently.
“I can guess what it is,” Smile’s eyes sparkle as she stares at the couple, “you both are pregnant?” She blurted out the news as if it were something she’d been expecting.
“No doubt you are my sister, so smart,” Derrick praised.
” Congratulations! ” Smiles rush to Lisa’s side, and take her into a tight hug.” This is great news, I’m so happy for you” Her voice was evidence of how happy shwasis.
“I know right! I can’t explain how happy I am,” Lisa’s tone was teary.
The time she heard about her pregnancy, she cried her eyes out. Luckily Derrick was there with her to calm her happy heart and nerves.
“Pray it isn’t a boy, or else, you will get to draw with him on who owns Lis,” Keane said with all seriousness. He’s been there and he doesn’t wish for his friend to experience it.
“I don’t mind, though I go for a girl but a boy is ok” Derrick smiles meekly.
“I’m happy for you man, welcome to fatherhood” Keane gave Derrick a sincere and happy smile.
” Congratulations, Lisa… more babies to keep you two busy” Keane jokes.
“Same to you, you lead the way anyway” Lisa laughed.
Just then, the two twins came running, screaming at the top of their lungs. “Mom, Dad, we are ba, ck,” they said in unison.
Lisa’s face blooms at the sight of Kate, she likes Nate but not as compared to Kate.
Kate runs to Keane and throws herself into his arms, Keane happily catches her and spins her around. “What did you bring for Daddy?” He asked.
“Nothing!” “Kate said, showing her bare hands.” But I brought something nicer” she informs.
Keane raised a brow, she was contradicting herself. How can she say nothing yet she brought something?
” What? ” He asked,
” My pretty self,” She said, giggling.
Keane couldn’t help but smile.
Nate on the other hand rushed smiles and looked happier and jolly than the last time.
“my baby looks so handsome ” Smiles praise.
” No, I’m not handsome, I’m cute… handsome people ain’t always charming” he explains.
“Who?” Smiles was surprised to hear him reject her praises.
Great-grandmama, said I’m very cute, that’s why no one can resist my charms.” He explains innocently.
Smiles couldn’t help but laugh. “No doubt Mama is unable to get you off her head” She kissed his cheek the little boy giggled.
Kate was busily chatting with her dad when she caught sight of Lisa, her face brightening up.
“Put me down!” She orders and Keanedoesd just as she said.
She rushes to Lisa and hugs her… “Aunt, wow! You look so pretty today” she compliments enjoying the warmth of Lisa’s arms.
“Thought you won’t notice me” Lisa has been patiently waiting to see if the little girl will see her and of course, she did until she complimented her right before everyone.
“Mama is way more beautiful than her” Nate leans closer and whispers into Kate’s ear.
She nods, “I know” she whispers with a smile. The two twins can be a pain in the ass.
It’s not like Lisa wasn’t beautiful but their mom will always be the prettiest in their eyes.
“Guess no one has my time” Derrick grumbles seeing that the children don’t seem to have his time.
“Uncle Derrick is getting jealous,” Kate says excitedly.
“Who wouldn’t? Everyone loves to be noticed by angels like you two” pinched on their cheeks, and they giggled.
Lisa and SSmile exchanged the children, so Kate could enjoy her mom a little. Meanwhile, the father and son didn’t say anything to each other but their gaze was enough to pass across their greetings.
Who brought you guys?” Smiles asked after a while of waiting for someone to join them but to no avail.
“Uncle Bruce, he was with grandpa” Nate chirps in.
“They are in the living room talking,” Kate adds.
Hearing the children, Keane and Derrick excuse themselves.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
