The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Whiskey~

With the twins, Atlas, and Slater’s company, Lola’s previous fear disappeared without a trace. She had almost forgotten about it as they continued their day at the amusement park.

"Sis, stand close!" Slater shouted, waving mildly while giving Lola instructions.

Lola raised her brows and took a step closer to Second. "Like this?"

"No, not like that! Closer!"

She frowned and turned to Atlas, who was standing at the end after Chacha. She moved closer, only to pause when Chacha suddenly raised her arms to her father.

"Daddy~" Chacha opened and closed her hands with her arms stretched toward him. "Hehe."

Atlas gazed at his daughter and picked her up, carrying her in his arms. Seeing this, Second turned to Lola and grinned.

"You want to be carried too?" She asked, only to hear Atlas say,

"He’s heavy."

Second frowned and looked up at Atlas. "But I want Mommy to carry me."

"You’re going to burden her with your weight."

"Burden?" Lola smirked at Atlas, then grinned at Second. "Second, come up here. I’ll carry you."

"Yey~!" Second cheered while Atlas frowned. However, Atlas couldn’t do anything as Lola carried Second in her arms.

"Mommy~!" He hugged her neck excitedly while Chacha blushed and giggled happily.

Meanwhile, Slater stared at the four of them and smiled. Without a word, he lifted his camera and clicked some candid photos. His smile broadened as he captured a really nice shot of them.

When Atlas and Lola turned in his direction, Slater quickly put down his camera and laughed.

"Closer!!!" he shouted, watching Lola and Atlas take a side step toward each other. "Closer! Can’t you see there’s a heaven-and-hell gap between you two?"

"That guy—" Lola clenched her teeth, tempted to jog toward him and give him a good roundhouse kick. But then Atlas took another sidestep until his shoulder brushed hers.

"Hmm?"

Looking back at him, she found Atlas looking back at her.

Click!

Click!

Slater quickly snapped more photos, taking as many as he could. In one of them, both Lola and Atlas’s lips were slightly curled up as they looked at each other, while the twins grinned. After that, they looked at the camera.

"Say cheese!" Slater instructed.

"Cheese!" Lola and the twins echoed while Atlas stared flatly at the camera.

"Whiskey~!" Slater called again, and like before, the trio answered, "Whiskey~!"

"I’ve always wanted to visit the amusement park," she murmured, eyes drifting back to the carousel. "But back then, I couldn’t. My mother was sick, and even if she was willing to come with me, it would’ve risked her health. So, I told her I didn’t like amusement parks at all. That it was corny."

"Then... when she passed, I got a little too busy and completely forgot about it," she added, smacking her lips.

"You forgot until now?" he asked, implying this was her first time.

"No." She shook her head, meeting his eyes. "I didn’t forget. I just... I just didn’t have a reason anymore."

Or maybe she couldn’t find a reason—or the logic—for going at her age. Not like she had anyone to go to the amusement park with. Lola wiggled her brows at him before casually looking away at the trio.

After a moment, his voice caressed her ears once more. "Is that why you had that look earlier?"

"Huh?" Her brows knitted, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Atlas’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as he watched her. "That look earlier when you came back from the restroom, and we weren’t on the bench. I was talking about that."

"Ahh..." The smile on her face faded as she bit her tongue. "You saw that?"

"We all did."

She froze, eyes widening. She thought she’d done a good job concealing the fear that almost overwhelmed her. A defeated sigh slipped out of her as she hugged the stuffed toy and watched Slater help the twins down from the carousel.

"I thought you guys left," she muttered. "Or rather... I thought I was hallucinating or just completely snapped." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Lola bit her lip and forced a laugh. "I got a bit scared, you know? After all, all the good things that happen to me somehow disappear without warning. So... it kinda worried me."
