The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445: One

Some members of the family eventually arrived during dinner.

Finn, Nina’s husband, came in carrying gifts for the twins and flowers for his wife. He looked and sounded like a good man. Someone who genuinely loved his wife.

Lola already knew of him; she’d heard about him from Aileen. Small world, really. Finn was one of Aileen’s VIP clients — the kind of husband who spoiled his wife not just with flowers and affection, but also by changing her wardrobe every season. Talking to him felt easy, and having Aileen as a mutual acquaintance made the conversation even smoother.

Then came Haines, with his wife Grace and their four-year-old daughter.

Atlas had already given Lola a quick rundown of their family tree. Haines was Charles’s cousin — though, according to Atlas, Haines was more like a brother to his father. He was also the one who accompanied Penny when she studied abroad.

He was around Charles’s age, but his wife, Grace, was younger than Lola expected. Not that Haines looked old; he looked remarkably fit and youthful for his age. They were such a lovely couple, and their little girl was just as adorable.

It was a fun table to be at.

After the meal, Atlas took Lola for a short walk around the residence while everyone stayed inside. As they walked down the stone pathway, Lola couldn’t wipe the smile off her face.

Atlas glanced sideways at her, lowering his head slightly to study her profile. "Did they bother you?"

"Was that really the first question you’d ask me?" Lola raised her head, narrowing her eyes at him. "Do I look bothered at all?"

"I was worried," he admitted quietly. "I’m glad you’re alright."

Lola pressed her lips together and reached for his arm. "Thank you."

"For?"

"Taking me here," she said softly, drawing in a deep breath as the evening wind brushed through the garden. "It’s my first time meeting your family, but they’re all really... fun to be with."

"Slater and Penny’s constant banter, Nina’s maturity. Aunt Jessa’s directness matches perfectly with your mom’s gentle and caring nature," she continued, listing them one by one. "Then your father’s calmness — how he seems numb to all of it, but still looks at your mother with so much love, admiration, and devotion."

Her eyes softened as she recalled the quiet way Charles spoke to his wife. It was something she had never seen before — not even between Lawrence and Jasmine.

"I thought things like that only happened in fiction," she whispered. "Your mom is very lucky."

"My dad is," he corrected, making her brows rise. "You’ve seen my mother. He’s the lucky one."

Lola bit her lip, trying to stop herself from smiling like an idiot. Meeting Charles Bennet had been unexpectedly reassuring. It helped her understand why Atlas was the way he was — and why Penny and Slater clung to their childishness so much.

If she’d had parents like that, she probably would’ve done the same — holding on to her childishness just to keep feeling like a kid, to get scolded, or to be loved a little more.

Her thoughts paused when Atlas took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Lola turned to him and smiled, clasping his hand back.

"I’m glad you took me here," she whispered.

Atlas studied her carefully, as if to make sure she truly meant it. When he saw the sincerity in her eyes, he exhaled quietly and nodded.

"Me too," he said. "I’m glad I brought you."

He was grateful for many things in life, but at that moment, he was most grateful for his family — because they were the reason he could bring her here, to a place where she would be safe, welcomed, and loved.
