Some minutes later, Celia and I were done cooking. The blend of meat, vegetables, and spice aromas wafted through the kitchen.

Celia placed the final dish on the tray and turned to me. “So is Alex really staying for dinner?”

I didn't know why she was asking that. She knew that was the reason I'd cooked a larger portion than usual.

Rinsing my hands, I grabbed a cloth to dry them. “That’s what the twins would want.”

“Just the twins?” Celia questioned. Her tone was light, but I didn’t miss the slyness tucked underneath.

I turned and stared at her. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

She lifted both hands with a shrug. “Nothing.”

I narrowed my eyes at her, then shook my head. “I’m going to inform them. Please start setting up the table.”

I stepped out of the kitchen and paused as soon as I reached the living room.

Alex and Stefano were sitting beside each other on the couch, but this time their bodies were turned just slightly. They weren’t talking to the kids. They were talking to each other

  • Oops! I Left With The CEO's Heart   Chapter 48

    “…and that’s the end of chapter five.” I closed the book softly, letting my eyes scan the two small bodies curled up, each in their bed.Liam let out a sigh. “Wow… that was so cool. Can you read another chapter?”I chuckled, already opening the book again. “Sure—”“No,” Emma cut in, her voice firm but not harsh.She was perched on the edge of Liana’s bed, gently running her fingers through our daughter’s curls. She glanced at Liam. “You’re clearly tired. Stop trying to fight sleep and go to sleep, darling.”Liam frowned. “But if I sleep, Daddy’s going to go away,” he mumbled. “Why can’t he stay with us?”Emma let out a slow breath, and I could see her steeling herself. “I already told you, sweetheart. Daddy has a lot of things to do.”Liam turned to me, eyes wide and searching. “What things, Dad? Are they more important than us?”My throat tightened.“No,” I said quickly, shaking my head. “Of course not. You and your sister… and your mum… you’re the most important things in the world

    ALEXLiam’s words hit me like a jolt to the chest.“We want Daddy to stay with us.”Warmth spread through my chest. Just minutes ago, I’d been feeling so inadequate around them, wondering if they preferred Stefano over me.But Liam's earnest words had given me some reassurance.I looked up at Emma, hope flickering somewhere deep inside. I knew I was hoping too much for her to accept, but you never know.Emma shook her head. “No, sweetheart. Daddy can’t stay.”Liam frowned. “Why not?”Emma looked flustered for a bit. She hesitated, then stuttered, “Because… because Daddy needs to go back to his... hotel. He has something to do.”I'd been expecting her to refuse, but the disappointment still cut through me.Liam didn’t give up though. “But can Daddy put us to bed?” he asked, looking between us. “You and Daddy. Can Daddy read us a story?”Liana immediately jumped in. “Yes, please, Mummy.”They chorused in unison, eyes wide and full of hope. Emma sighed and nodded. “Fine.”“Yes!” They hig

    Alex didn't move his gaze. His eyes locked on mine, searching like he could find his answers even if I didn't tell him anything.“Emma,” he said, his voice low and close. “You haven’t answered my question.”I stepped back automatically, glaring at him. “You don’t get to ask me that. My personal life is none of your business.”The smile on his lips didn’t budge. “Why is it so hard for you to give me an answer?”“I’m not finding anything hard,” I said, trying to keep my voice even. “I just don’t owe you my emotions, Alex. You need to watch yourself. I might have let you be with my children today, but that doesn’t mean you get to pry into my private life.”His smile faded just enough for the hurt to peek through. “They’re my children too, Emma.”“Exactly,” I said. “You’re their father. And that’s the only thing you need to be focused on, not my private life.”His jaw clenched. He took another step toward me, his gaze softer now, like he wanted to say something else.But then Celia’s voic

    EMMAI didn’t know what I was expecting to feel when I let Alex meet the twins, but it definitely wasn't this.This weight on my chest and this lump in my throat that refused to go away. I stood there, watching how he dropped to one knee and opened his arms, awaiting the twins' hug.Liam went to him with ease, but Liana hesitated.That moment made my chest tighten. The way Alex's hands trembled, the raw desperation in his eyes. When Liana finally stepped into his arms and he wrapped them both together like he’d just found the air he’d been searching for all his life, I couldn’t take it.I turned and walked straight to the kitchen, needing space to breathe and gather myself.I didn’t want them to see my face, especially not Alex.Getting to the kitchen, I covered my forehead with my hand and blew out a breath.Celia walked in quietly behind me. “So… is this the part where you start regretting letting him in?”I didn’t answer immediately. I just stared at the closed cupboard in front of

    ALEXI stared at Stefano, my jaw tight.What the hell was he doing here? His presence felt like a slap in the face. This was supposed to be my moment with the kids.Emma was standing behind him. I looked over at her, silently asking the question I couldn't ask in front of the kids. She looked back at me only for a second before turning and walking off toward the kitchen.I turned my eyes back to Stefano, and that’s when I noticed the bag in his hand. He had a smirk on his face as he crouched in front of the twins.“Guess what I brought you?” he said.Immediately, the twins squealed and dashed toward him like he was Santa Claus.“I can already smell it!” Liam cried, practically bouncing on his toes. “Where is it? Where is it?!”With a dramatic flourish, Stefano pulled out what looked like a white pastry box. Liam and Liana gasped.“Yes!” Liana beamed. “Our favourite!”They opened the box, and inside were chocolate cookies. The kids were already grabbing at them like they were treasure.
