Chapter 121. Life Seems to be in Order

Samuel POVThe three of us went silently back to the house.Shelly insisted that I join them in the guest room, but the bed was too small to accommodate the three of us, so I invited them to my room.While Shelly had no qualms about entering my private sanctuary, Shan remained outside the door, looking hesitant to come in.This is the first time she has had my permission to invade my privacy. I can only assume she must find the experience weird.In the past, I usually went to her apartment, not the other way around. I was careful not to be seen with her on my turf. I never allowed Shan into my home, and that was my first grave offense.“Auntie Shannie,” Shelly called out, but after one look from me, she gasped.“Oops!” She giggled and covered her mouth with her palm.“Mommy, come in!” She corrected herself, and I smiled with my approval.Shelly was already climbing the king-size bed, and when she reached the top, she bounced, much to her amusement.“Aunt…ah… Mommy! Let’s g

Chapter 122. What Real Daddy Does

Pepper POVAfter Samuel, Shan, and her niece left, Victor focused on our triplets. It was long past their bedtime, but we let them stay up because of our guests.Still, Victor looked pointedly at his watch when he noticed that the triplets weren’t moving.“It’s bedtime, Aaron, Asher, and Althea.” He reminded them.At the reminder, the children immediately stopped playing and began vacating their seats. Then, they moved swiftly to put away their toys.Over the past few weeks, my amazement has continued to grow. I marveled at the ease with which Victor was able to establish authority over the triplets.They instantly recognize him as the man of the house.As expected, the boys initially groaned their disapproval, but went to follow their father’s command. They put away the controllers and turned off the television before approaching Althea to help her with her big dollhouse.Aaron and Asher held the dollhouse on opposite ends while Althea followed them, clutching her dolls in her

Chapter 123. Two Daddies

Pepper POV“You are here!” Althea squealed when she opened the main door to see who was outside.“Yes. We are here.” Shelly shot back with so much enthusiasm.The two girls held hands and jumped excitedly. They looked like long-lost friends when they had only met last night.Their eyes crinkled at the corners, and their bodies and hair bounced with their jump.The difference ends there, though.Unlike Althea, Shelly leaned more on the refined side.Althea moved coarser and may be attributed to the fact that she had been around her brothers so much. She did not have a lot of girlfriends at school, either. But I could see that it could be easily remedied now that Shelly’s here, seeing how the other girl’s presence impacted Althea in just a brief moment of knowing each other.Althea drew Shelly inside.They seemed excited about something. Their heads were drawn close, and they were talking in whispers.Shan and Samuel followed the two girls in. They also eyed the two and smiled

Chapter 124. Her Father

Pepper POVThe morning seemed to pass by in a blur.After we all resolved the Daddy issue, we all settled into breakfast.It was a chaotic but happy affair. While the children are busy in their world, I try to keep Samuel and Shan up to date on what’s happening at the office.Victor attended to the children, and from time to time, he would check on my plate to see if I needed anything.When we finished, Victor and I loaded the triplets into our van so we could take them to their daycare.Shan, Samuel, and Shelly followed us out.Before we board the van and they cross to their front yard, Samuel announced.“Shelly needs a school, too,”Althea’s eyes sparkled when she heard the news. “You can go to our school, Shelly!” She said, thrilled.Shelly’s delighted expression was warm on the eyes.She clasped her hands together in bated breath, awaiting the adult’s verdict.“Of course. We’ll enroll her at your school, Thea. Just promise to take care of Shelly.” Samuel said.Althea nodd

Chapter 125. Not Just Mothers

Pepper POVI really did not know what to say when I realized what Shan had been through.Against my better judgment, tears began to pool in my eyes.“I am sorry. You must have been through a lot.” I managed to say while I tried to will the tears at bay.Shan does not need it.Shan bit her lower lip, as if she did not want to dwell on the past, and I tried to collect myself because by gosh! We are in the lobby.Yes. We were protected by the towering pots that served as our hiding place, but it was not a hundred percent foolproof.Someone might discover or overhear us.I grabbed Shan’s wrist and pulled her toward the waiting elevators. Thankfully, the queue was empty and we were able to board one without any hassle.When the door closed, I turned to her.“Why didn’t you tell me? You know that you could have told me.” I said, feeling regret wash over me.So much time had been lost for this mother and daughter. Come to think of it, to Samuel, too.They could have been a family years ago.

Chapter 126. Embezzling

Victor POVAfter dropping Pepper off at their office building, I did not leave right away.I waited for her to disappear inside the building with Shan.When I could no longer see her, I began to press the brake pedal and turned the car to drive mode to let it move forward.My phone rang.I answered Tony Spence, our company lawyer, while driving through the busy streets of New York.“What’s up, Spence?”“Mr Gunner. There has been a report from one of our men that your father is holding another investors’ meeting without you and Ms. Ferguson in it.”“

Chapter 127. Thank You for Being You

Victor POVAnd just like that, my plan to tell my mother everything failed.I stood there next to the door while my father assisted my mother out of the conference room.Other investors followed them, and they filed out of the room one by one.“Just hang in tight, Victor.” One of our old investors tapped me on the shoulder when he passed by me before he walked through the door.From his words, I could glean that he knew something about my father.I took a deep breath and turned around to leave the empty conference room.Matthew met me outside.“How did it go? Your mother….?” My assistant’s voice trailed off when I raised my right hand to make him stop.He did immediately and went silent.We walked alongside each other without talking until we reached my office.I went straight to my desk and plopped into my chair, feeling tired all over my body.I grabbed the sides of my head with my hands and looked down at my clean table.I thought that I had the upper hand, but it was clear that ev

Chapter 128. Removing Barriers

Pepper POVWhen Victor hung up, I stared at my phone’s screen for a while. I can’t seem to put my finger on it, but I knew that something was bothering him.“Pepper, we need you in the conference room,” Shan called out for the second time, and I hesitantly rose from my swivel chair.“What’s wrong?” Shan asked when I fell into step beside her.She was standing by the doorway, waiting for me.In sync, we turned toward the narrow hallway that would bring us to the conference room.“It’s Victor. I think he has a problem. He wanted to come here and kill time before we fetch the children?”

Chapter 129. In Love With the Mother of My Child

Samuel POV“Did you like my surprise?”“Yes.”Shan said meekly, but there was a cloud shrouding her eyes.The look on her face made me feel queasy.I usually bought Pepper flowers and nice dinners, and she would always appreciate the effort. Shan, on the other hand, did not say anything until I asked her, and it made me feel like she did not want it.“You don’t look happy.” I finally managed to say.Shan looked embarrassed.“No. It’s just that this feels new. Besides, we’re in the office. Wouldn’t it be weird for people to find out you did it for me instead of Pepper?”I shook my head.At least she was honest.“I did this on purpose. If you don’t get it yet. I am making a statement here.”Shan’s brows knotted in confusion, and I had to smile when I stared at her face. She looked so much like Shelly.“You are making fun of me.”I shook my head to deny her claim.“Of course not. I just thought you looked so much like our daughter. You are both cute.”“I am not cute!” She denied vehemen

Chapter 130. The Triplets' Father

Pepper POVAfter leaving the conference room, I went straight back to my office and was surprised to find a visitor.I was not expecting him today, but I had kind of expected that he would show up one of these days, given that the auction is set to happen in two days.Jeremy Quinn was included in the guest list that my team prepared. I believed he had already received his invitation, which explains his presence in my office.“Jeremy! What a nice surprise!” I crossed the distance between us, all smiles. I felt like I was gliding when he rose from the visitor’s lounge chair outside my office to meet me.He met me halfway and closed the distance between us by enfolding me in a tight embrace.“Pepper. It has been a while.”I nodded.“Yes. How was Hollywood?” I asked.He grinned. “Still the same.”Jeremy pulled away a little and scanned me from head to foot.His blue eyes ran approvingly over my office attire, a button-down beige satin shirt and a black A-line skirt with a blazer. I paired
