LOGINTwo days later, Thomas and Jada brought the boys back.They looked… disheveled.Of course, they had dressed neatly before leaving home.But the boys had turned the car ride into chaos.The older one had spilled juice all over Thomas.The younger had emptied a bottle of bubble solution straight into Jada’s handbag.Tiesto took the boys from them.“Dad, Mom—come in and sit?”“No, no,” Thomas waved quickly. “We just remembered we have something to take care of.”“Boys—did you enjoy staying with Grandpa and Grandma?” Tiesto asked.“Yes!” the boys answered in perfect unison.“When do you want to go again?”“In a few days!” they clapped excitedly.Thomas and Jada exchanged a glance.“We just remembered—we’re about to leave for an overseas trip. We won’t be back
Michael consulted Tiesto about pregnancy care, painless delivery, and surgical procedures.Tiesto, experienced and preparing for this round, shared everything thoroughly.“The only real concern is the procedure,” Tiesto said. “Even after it’s done, you can’t be careless, or it might turn out like ours.”Michael chuckled. “I’ll take your lesson to heart. I don’t want Ellen pregnant twice in a short time.”Tiesto was speechless....Soon after, Ellen and Ella gave birth.As predicted by Henry, Ellen had a boy.Ella gave birth to twin girls.The families were ecstatic, all rushing to see the children.Nina was the happiest of all. She ran first to see her little brother.She frowned. “Why is he so wrinkly?”She looked at Michael, then at Ellen. “Why does he look so ugly? Who does he take after?”Michael’s mother held her, laughing. &
On the way to the hospital, Ella bit her lip lightly. “Honey, I…”Tiesto took off his jacket and draped it over her.“Silly, what’s there to worry about?”“I don’t know why I would be pregnant… but I absolutely haven’t done anything wrong…”Tiesto pressed his strong, elegant fingers to her flushed lips.His voice was low and soothing. “Do you think I would doubt you just because someone said something? Silly, I always trust you. Didn’t I just say it—this is the doctor’s fault?”Ella still felt uneasy.He comforted her. “It’s fine, don’t overthink it.”“What if I really am pregnant?” she asked.“Then we’ll have the baby. It’s ours, okay?”Henry only realized on the way that Tiesto had indeed undergone the procedure. He had missed that part on the phone earlier. His lips tw
The twins had just reached their 100th day and were already plump and healthy.Nina wanted to visit her little brothers every day, which made Ellen feel a little pressured.Ella, having spent little time with the babies, worried they might not be attached to her.But the babies weren’t distant at all.Every time they finished feeding or woke up, they turned their heads, looking for their mother’s voice.Hearing Ella’s voice or being held by her soothed them immediately.The two little ones kicked their legs in the crib, and hearing Ella, they smiled widely.The sun was just right, and Ella held them on the balcony to enjoy it.Tiesto picked them up, one in each hand, and tossed them onto the crib.They cried with all their might.Ella’s heart ached. “Tiesto!”Tiesto had no choice but to pick them up, but the babies refused him and continued crying.Finally, he had
Ella tried a few more times afterward, but compared to the steady, easy intake from a bottle, nursing was exhausting for the baby. Naturally, the little ones preferred the bottle.In the end, Ella gave up completely.Luckily, she hadn’t started breastfeeding yet, so she avoided issues like engorged breasts. Within a few days, her body had recovered to pre-pregnancy condition.She hadn’t realized that all this was part of Tiesto’s plan.Mrs. Pratt and Lora, meanwhile, were busy caring for the babies. “Thankfully it’s formula. Both of them need to feed every two hours, and each feeding takes over half an hour. If they were breastfeeding, how could Ella ever rest?”Just then, Tiesto came in.“Mom, Ella and the babies are ready to leave the hospital. I’ll take them.”Mrs. Pratt and Lora looked reluctant.Orlando and Caleb suddenly piped up: “Can we each
Mrs. Pratt was momentarily confused, but quickly caught on. Of course. If Orlando insisted on comparing himself to Caleb in everything, then hearing that Caleb was going on a date would push him to do the same.Sure enough, that evening, as Ella and Tiesto were about to sleep, Mrs. Pratt called.“Ella, Tiesto really is clever. Tonight, I told Orlando that Caleb already went on a blind date and liked someone. He was furious—he immediately wanted me to arrange a matchmaking dinner. He wants to lock in a choice before Caleb does. He absolutely cannot lose!”Ella laughed so hard she almost couldn’t breathe.How long will these two brothers keep competing? Will they even compete over who marries first or has kids first?Mrs. Pratt added, “Alright, I won’t say anything else—just go arrange the dinner. Oh, and Ella, if you happen to meet a nice girl, introduce her to me. I’ll set Caleb up on a date too.”&n
“Go home first. Tonight, I want to stay with Mom,” Ella said to Tiesto.He looked at her longingly.Ella’s heart softened, but her expression remained unreadable.She steeled herself and went to her mother’s room.Halfway there, she called the housekeep
Ella ignored her and turned to leave.Christine grabbed her. “Thief! Don’t think you can walk away! How dare you claim Old Madam Sterling gave it to you? I saw you take that bracelet off her wrist!”Her tone was full of self-assured conviction, as if she had caught Ell
They grabbed a leisurely meal while waiting. By the time they returned, the results were ready.Michael went to pick them up first. He was visibly nervous.When the doctor handed him the report, he hesitated, unable to open it.“Maybe you should do i
Seeing Ella’s flushed face, Grandma Sterling asked, “Ella, are you feeling warm? Would you like some watermelon?”“No, Grandma… I think I just ate a little too much,” Ella said, mortified.Grandma Sterling smiled. “I’ll have the butler se
