Chapter 71: Happily ever after
“Stop it!” Annabella yelled, stepping inside the sitting room, she was shocked at the display in front of her. They were startled when they heard her voice.
They stared at her with puppy eyes before bursting into tears, making her shocked, attracting a groan from their mother.
“Urgh! What’s wrong now honey, mom wants to sleep, could you please stop?” Isabelle yelled tiredly and they intensified their tears, and Isabelle rose from the bed, grumbling as she walked down, making Annabella giggled as she tiptoed away.
She chuckled, wondering what Isabelle would do if she found the mess they had made.
“What the hell?! Alessandro, your kids would kill me with excess work! What are all these! Who started this mess?!” Isabelle yelled and the two, three years old kids burst into laughter, using the flour to rub their faces.
Bread flour had been poured on the floor, mixed with salt and nutmeg.
“How did you get all these? Who gave you?. How were you able to enter the pantry? Where’s the maid?” She demanded and they giggled.
Rolling on the floor happily and Isabelle sighed, looking around and wondering why she had been given two rascals as kids.
They never gave her any peace and she was busy either arranging their room, keeping them in bed, feeding them or attending to their annoying father whose job was to play and make more mess with them.
“Wow! Who did this?” Alessandro demanded, walking downstairs.
“Your kids of course,” Isabelle replied harshly.
“Chill, I know they’re mine I’m only wondering who the brainiac is, you guys are definitely my kids” Alessandro replied, high-fiving both of them and Isabelle stared at him blankly.
“What kind of husband is this?” She muttered.
“The kind who won your heart” He replied.
“Kyle, Ray, who did this?” She demanded, squatting in front of them.
“Kyle”
“Ray” They both muttered, pointing at each other and she stared at them with confusion.
They were very identical and she was too tired to tell who Kyle was and who Ray was.
“Wait! Who’s Kyle, who’s Ray?” She demanded and they both pointed at each other making her sigh with frustration.
“Please, just tell me. You’re Kyle right?” She demanded facing one and he shook his head, staring at her innocently.
“Okay, you’re Kyle right?” She asked the other and he shook his head, pointing at his second and she raised her hand with frustration.
“Alessandro, help me here, I’m so tired and I wanna sleep” She pleaded and he folded his arms, staring at his nails.
“You gave birth to them so you should be able to differentiate” He replied and she took a deep breath.
“I promise not to punish you guys, just tell me who did it” She pleaded.
“Kyle”
“Ray” they both replied gently and she raised her head, letting out an angry breath.
“What the hell is this? Don’t I know the kids I gave birth to! Are you guys trying to play games with my head?” She demanded angrily and they stared at her with puppy eyes and she softened her gaze.
“I’m sorry for being harsh, mom is tired and she wants to sleep, could you guys please let mom rest?” She demanded softly and they nodded, watching her and after 10 seconds, they burst into tears, raising their voices very loud and Alessandro cracked up with laughter.
“That’s enough, I’ll get the maid to clean up this mess, let’s go play some video games my boys” Alessandro intervened, carrying both of them on each arm and they laughed, playing with his face as he led them to another room and Isabelle sighed tiredly.
“What have I gotten myself into? What kind of rascals are these?” She muttered, turning her heels and Lettice walked inside.
“Ray! Kyle! Aunt Lettice is here!” She shouted earning a groan from Isabelle and both boys raced down the stairs with their tiny feet jumping on her immediately they saw her.
“What wrong, you look haggard?. Calm down boys, I brought the toys but I’ll let you play with them only if you promise to tell me who’s Kyle and who’s Ray” Lettice requested and they bowed their heads, reluctant to utter any word.
“Wow, I can see they’ve played the same trick on you… they just did that to me and now I’m wondering if I do not know my sons again” Isabelle complained and Lettice burst into laughter.
“They can be cunning..”
“Just like their father,” Isabelle added.
“I heard that!” Alessandro yelled from his room.
“You’re Kyle right?” Lettice questioned, facing the first blonde haired, chubby kid, he had pale green eyes and mischief was evident in them, they both looked exactly like his father, only that they took their mother’s smile and eyes.
Isabelle often complained about how they took too much genes from their father and very little from her.
“No, no… Kyle” He replied, pointing at his twin who was smiling.
“Ray, me… okay? I’m Ray, he’s Kyle” Ray replied and both women groaned.
“I knew it, I had a hunch right from time but they played with my minds” Lettice voiced.
“Come here sweethearts” She opened her arms and they sat on each leg.
“Who told you to do this?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Dad, he said it’ll drive you nuts,” Kyle confessed.
“What! I never said anything to them, I’m innocent!” Alessandro yelled.
“No you’re not!” Ray replied and Isabelle burst into laughter.
“Your father is the one you should drive nuts, not me. Don’t listen to such words again okay?”
“Yea, when is Andrew coming back?” Ray demanded and Isabelle scattered his hair.
“He would be back in a few days time, you better be a good boy or there’s no movies for y’all, now run off to dad, mom wants to talk to aunt Lettice” Isabelle said, handing the toys to them and they ran off, arguing about the toys.
“Girl, you’re doing one hell of a job” Lettice commended and Isabelle sighed.
“You’re also doing the same, Lydia doesn’t look like a gentle lady to me” Isabelle laughed and Lettice rolled her eyes.
“I’m lucky, her granny will be coming over soon and I’ll have enough time to work,” Lettice replied with a sigh and Isabelle smiled.
“We did it, we’re living our lives the way we wish”
“That’s right, even if a few tribulations come our way, we would face it together as one big family..” Lettice replied, smiling.
“I’m so happy to have someone like you in my life, you’re my sister for another parent” Isabelle confessed.
“I feel like you’re my blood sister. When you came into my life things changed for the better”
“Urgh, ladies! Could you control your emotions please? You guys are sisters, we know already! Stop disturbing my sons and I” Alessandro yelled from the room.
“What! How can you hear us?” Isabelle demanded.
“Ooops, I have superpowers I guess” He replied with a hearty laugh.
