Aiden's father stood in the doorway."Ella," he called calmly.Ella quickly wiped her face and looked at him."Yes, Mr. Robert?"He studied her expression for a moment before speaking."I'd like to have a word with you."Ella glanced at Aiden, unsure of what his father wanted to discuss.Then she turned back to Mr. Robert."Okay, sir."Aiden watched them as they walked away.Mr. Robert and Ella made their way down the corridor in silence. Ella's heart raced as she wondered what he wanted to tell her.When they reached a quiet part of the mansion, Mr. Robert stopped and turned toward her."Ella, I want you to be honest with me.”"Are you with my son because of his money?" Mr. Robert asked, his expression serious."No, sir. Not at all," Ella replied. "I genuinely love Aiden."Mr. Robert nodded slowly."Now that you've assured me that you're not with my son because of his money, I'm sorry to tell you that you cannot marry him."Ella's mouth fell open in shock."Yes, close your mouth," Mr

Morning came, and the warm rays of sunshine spread across the mansion.Aiden's mansion soon received a notable guest.The guards opened the massive gates as a luxurious car drove into the compound. The vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of the mansion.The security personnel accompanying the guest quickly stepped out and walked toward the rear door.One of them opened the door.Aiden's father stepped out of the car, dressed in an elegant suit with a commanding presence.The members of staff immediately stood at attention and greeted him respectfully."Good morning, sir.""Good morning," he replied calmly.He glanced around the mansion before walking toward the entrance.He had come to have a serious conversation with his son and to meet the woman and children who had changed Aiden's plans completely.Matthew was walking down the corridor when he noticed all the members of staff standing at attention."Who is that, and why are all the staff standing like this?" he wondered.Curious

When Aiden and Ella got to the nursery, they found the nannies trying to calm the crying babies."Why are they crying?" Ella asked worriedly."I'm not exactly sure, ma'am," one of the nannies replied. "Babies can't tell us what's wrong, but I think they might be hungry."Ella looked at the twins."I have two breasts and two babies, so feeding them isn't the problem," she said, then paused."But how am I supposed to hold both of them properly on my lap at the same time?"Aiden smiled gently."Don't worry. We don't have to figure everything out at once."One of the nannies stepped forward."We can help you get comfortable, ma'am. You can feed them one at a time, or we can help position them safely."Ella nodded."Okay. Thank you."Aiden stayed beside her, ready to help with whatever she needed.Ella sat comfortably in the wide armchair opposite the twins' crib while Aiden unboxed the twin nursing pillow that one of the guests had gifted her during the welcome-home celebration.One of th

Aiden took a deep breath before answering the call."Hey, Dad. How are you doing?" Aiden asked."Son, we need to talk," his father replied.Aiden's expression immediately became serious."About what, Dad?""I saw your marriage proposal. I also saw the welcome-home celebration for your fiancée and your children."Aiden frowned."What's wrong with that, Dad?""I never said there was anything wrong with it. I'm simply asking you to explain yourself."Aiden sighed."I told you, Dad, that I can only marry for love. I'm not going to follow the same pattern in this family. I already cancelled my wedding with the heiress.""I know, Aiden," his father replied calmly. "I'm trying to remain calm with you, but we still need to have this conversation face-to-face."Aiden glanced at Ella."Father, maybe you should come home."There was a brief silence."Fine," his father replied. "I'll be home soon."The call ended.Aiden lowered his phone, wondering what his father's arrival would mean for his new

Aiden gently blindfolded Ella with a soft piece of cloth."Are you sure I can trust you?" Ella asked, laughing nervously."Of course," Aiden replied with a chuckle. "Just trust me."He held her hand carefully and guided her through the mansion."Are we there yet?" Ella asked."Not yet."Aiden led her into a beautifully decorated room. Once they reached the center, he stopped."Okay, we're here."He slowly removed the blindfold.Ella opened her eyes and froze.The room was beautifully decorated, with soft lights, flowers, and carefully arranged gifts waiting for her.Ella covered her mouth in surprise."Aiden..."He smiled."Surprise.”"You are too much, Aiden!" Ella said, laughing as she looked around the beautifully decorated room.Aiden smiled."That's not all."Ella turned toward him."What else?"Aiden walked toward another door inside the room and slowly opened it.Ella's eyes widened."Wow!"The room was filled with colorful balloons and shimmering lights. In the middle of the r

The entire place was filled with people, making it look as though a grand ceremony was about to begin.A violinist played a beautiful melody while a singer performed nearby. Waiters moved around the room, serving drinks to the guests as the atmosphere buzzed with excitement.Ella turned to Aiden in confusion."You didn't tell me there was going to be a ceremony."Aiden smiled."It's a surprise."Ella looked around again, completely stunned."A surprise? Aiden, what is all this?"Aiden chuckled softly.Aiden smiled and pointed toward a large banner hanging across the beautifully decorated hall.Ella followed his gaze.Her eyes widened when she saw the words boldly written across it:"WELCOME HOME, ELLA!""WELCOME HOME, TWINS!"Ella covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes immediately filling with tears."Aiden..." she whispered.Aiden smiled warmly."Welcome home, Ella.”Before Ella could reply, Aiden had already made his way onto the stage.He picked up the microphone and looked around
