The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381: Busy

It wasn’t that Lola felt sad. She knew everyone just had a lot going on. What confused her was how suddenly even the twins were clinging to their father like glue.

"You guys are really going with him?" She asked as she, Atlas, and the twins walked out of the residence toward the driveway. "I have candies."

The twins smiled.

"Mommy, we have projects to do," Second said with a pout. "We’ll be with you later!"

"Mommy, don’t worry about anything and just live your life to the fullest!" Chacha chimed in, making Lola raise a brow.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t used to the twins staying with their dad. What was new was that this time, they didn’t even try to negotiate. No pleading, no bargaining. They just volunteered to go.

"Get in," Atlas said in his usual flat, deadpan tone. As the twins climbed into the SUV, he turned to her and added, "I’m busy."

"..." She blinked. "I know you are—"

"So don’t ask what I’m doing."

She blinked again, watching him turn his back on her without another word.

I didn’t plan to ask, but now that he said it, I am tempted.

Once he was inside, the window rolled down, revealing the twins waving goodbye. Lola smiled and waved back.

As the car disappeared down the driveway, she dropped her arms and pouted.

"I feel bored," she muttered, then remembered she had work. "Ugh. I don’t want to work."

She shook her head, wondering where her strong, independent she-wolf self had gone. Lately, she’d been feeling lazy—perhaps because, for once, she had someone she could lean on. Her body, mind, heart, and soul all seemed to be taking a well-deserved rest.

After years of nonstop work like she was running out of time, something in her was changing.

"Right," she murmured, turning around, only to see Slater sprinting out of the house. "Oh, Slater, want to—"

"Busy!"

Without even stopping, he jogged to his blindingly red sports car and sped off. Lola’s lips curved down.

"Even Slater’s busy," she muttered. "Am I the only one who isn’t? Or am I just lazy?"

She sighed, watching his car vanish through the gates. "Maybe I am just lazy."

*****

Not wanting to be the only idle one in the family, Lola quickly went through her morning routine and headed to work. She wasn’t expected early today because she had a MEG Fashion event later in the evening.

"You’re motivated today."

Lola paused mid-task and looked up to see Amala walking in. She smiled and shrugged.

"I’ve been slacking lately, so I thought I should finish a few things."

Amala stopped beside her desk, eyeing the thin stack of documents Lola had gone through. When she looked back up, a sigh escaped her.

"Everything okay, Lola?"

"Why? Is there a problem?"

"How could there be a problem when you’ve worked so hard since before we went public?" Amala teased with a smile. "I’m just asking because I’m concerned about this sudden burst of motivation."
