Chapter 2. The Twins’ Daddy is Cade Goldwin?

”Mommy, we met daddy. He gave us chocolate.” Mika held up a large chocolate bar in her hand.

That wasn’t quite right. But it couldn’t be said to be wrong either. They had picked it up at a supermarket to cause a commotion in the direction of a passing party.

They searched the internet for information about Cade Goldwin once they got the secret. Before she died their mother gave it to them and told them to keep it from Fay Wilmer, the girl they now called Mommy.

“Mommy will throw a tantrum.” That was Mike’s constant reminder whenever Mika thought Fay should be told.

Maybe she would come after Cade for making Audrey, the twins’ mother, suffer and then kill him. But it wouldn’t be Cade Goldwin who would be killed. He’s a man who can’t be touched. It was the ruler of the city of Axton who would probably kill Fay.

So they had to refrain from telling Fay for their mommy’s safety.

“Never mind. Stop playing around. I almost went to the security post and asked them to announce your disappearance.” Fay hugged the two boys with a heart that still couldn’t calm down.

But only for a moment. As soon as she noticed the chocolates clutched in the two boys' hands, Fay felt her heart almost fall to the floor.

"Where did you get these chocolates?" Fay shook the two boys' shoulders. She widened her eyes angrily. "You're stealing?"

"Mommy, I told you that Daddy gave them to us." Mika was terrified. She had never seen Fay that angry.

Fay shook her head. "No, I didn't. No way. You're lying!"

How could Fay believe her?

"Mika is right, Mommy. We're not lying. We met Daddy earlier." Mike tried to explain. He was calmer than his sister

"Stop playing around, I said!" Fay got up from her crouch and tugged on both boys' arms.

They didn't have the money to pay for the chocolates. There was no way they could meet their father. How could they know each other if they never knew each other existed? It was all in the imaginations of children who longed for a father.

Mike and Mika were pulled towards a supermarket. Mika winced as her hand was gripped too tightly. Upon entering the supermarket, Fay asked a cashier if the two children had paid for the chocolates.

The cashier was a little confused. But she had just heard a horrendous rumor a few minutes ago about a pair of twins. She called the colleague who had been on the chase.

"Miss, these children don't pay, but their father does. So there's no problem. Mr. Goldwin even said that he can take anything." The employee slightly changed Cade Goldwin's words but the meaning remained the same.

Mr. Goldwin? The famous Cade Goldwin?

Fay was astonished. And confused. Don't tell her that these twins were related to that man. She couldn't imagine it. Something must have gone wrong here!

"You said their father? Mr. Goldwin?" Fay tilted her head, thinking she had heard wrong.

"Yeah, I think so. We weren't very clear either. But they both call Mr. Goldwin 'daddy'." The employee didn't quite understand the situation either. But he didn't want to take any chances. He heard Mr. Goldwin's words for himself.

Fay looked down at Mike and Mika. The two children were looking up at her. Mike nodded in confirmation of the employee's words.

Fay's head suddenly became dizzy. She massaged her head with one hand.

"All right. I think that's enough for today. I want to hear your explanation at home."

Fay turned around. Ignoring the two children, she walked out of the supermarket. Mike and Mika hurriedly followed behind. The two looked at each other occasionally.

Danger! That was the signal Mike threw at his sister.

I know, Mommy must be very angry. Mika returned the gesture with trepidation.

Not a single word came out of either of their mouths. They just continued to follow Fay who also kept her mouth shut all the way home.

Once at the apartment, Fay flopped down on the sofa. Mike and Mika sat down too. The two of them elbowed each other for a while before, as usual, Mike finally opened up.

"Mommy gave us a picture of Daddy."

What, a picture of the man who had made Audrey's life miserable? Audrey said she didn't have any proof.

"Our mommy didn't tell you because she didn't want you to meet Daddy and act stupid." Mike continued and spoke as if he would do smarter than Fay.

"So, where's the picture now? Give it to me?" Fay held out one hand to both kids.

Mike shook his head. "It's not with us."

"Gone?" Fay was curious about the picture. Maybe these two kids had recognized the wrong person! She was also curious about Audrey's decision to leave these two little hooligans but keep an important piece of evidence from her. Did she look that stupid?

"We heard that Daddy will be visiting Royal Town today. We already gave him the photo." Mike told the truth and flashed a slight smile at the obvious curiosity on Fay's face.

"Aah!" Fay clenched her hands into fists. Not knowing who to direct her annoyance at.

"So, what did that damn man say?" Fay cursed at Cade Goldwin in front of his two flesh and blood whose brows immediately furrowed upon hearing the harsh words.

"Mommy, you can't say rude things about daddy." Mika now couldn't resist reprimanding. Their mommy had never taught them to hate daddy. It was just a mistake. Their mommy had forgiven Daddy.

"Your daddy made your mommy suffer." Fay reminded the two children, knowing they were too young to understand.

"But if it wasn't for that mistake, neither of us would exist."

Mike's words instantly shut Fay up. What did they understand from that 'mistake'?

But still, Fay couldn't argue. These adorable twins would never have been born if not for that accident.

"So, how did your daddy respond?" Fay repeated her question more politely.

Mike shrugged his small shoulders. "Nothing. He's someone who can hide his feelings even when he's very surprised. We gave him time to investigate. When daddy is sure that we are his children, he will pick us up."

Fay chuckled in annoyance at the boy’s arrogant tone. “Don’t be so sure. You must know about him from the posts on the internet. Who knows, he’s not interested in a child. Especially one with twins and troublemakers like you.”
