Chapter 161. Twin girls

When we got home, Catherine wasted no time in announcing the news to everyone who came close. “Jenkins” she called quickly, dialing his number to share the good news. “You won't believe it, Avery and Ethan are expecting twins” Lucas overhead and chimed in excitedly “That makes me the uncle of twins” He exclaimed Catherine clapped her hands together “This Calls for celebration!” she exclaimed “Someone call the chef or maybe I should do the cooking” she said as she headed to the kitchen. I trailed behind her “No Avery, remember what the doctor says. You need to rest” Ethan chimed in “You really do need to rest” he said, gently pulling me closer as he guided me towards the bedroom. “Twins, huh” I said, trying to wrap my head around the news “Yeah” Ethan replied, still trying to guage my reaction “Raising two kids at a time, that's a lot of work” I said as fear crept into my voice I watched Ethan's brow creased as he looked at me deeply, sensing my ap

Chapter 162. Lead us in a search

Ethan and I dressed casually as we headed to the airport When we arrived, we noticed Micheal was unusually quiet. Ethan also observed his quietness “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice laced with concern Micheal shook his head in affirmation but I could tell something was bothering him. Just when we decided to bask in the tensed quietness, Micheal broke through “Have got some information about my dad” he said, still staring blankly into space. Ethan’s interest piqued immediately and he looked over at Micheal “Should I pull over at our regular spot so we can talk over a drink?” Micheal quickly shook his head “No, let’s just go home. There are things I need to discuss with ma’am Catherine” he replied With this, Ethan’s speed increased. The urgency in Michael’s calm Voice had not gone unnoticed. When we arrived home, Catherine was already waiting for Micheal at the door with a concerned and eager expression She had received his text about needing to ask her a f

Chapter 163. Jude Blackwood

It was boldly written… Jude Blackwood “That's my husband's name” Catherine said “I don't know if this means anything,” Micheal continued. “But I believe my mom wouldn't write down this name if it didn't lead to something significant” “I also brought back some important document that belonged to my mother, but I haven't had the time to go through them yet” Catherine became emotional as her eyes glistened in tears “Mom!” Lucas called out Catherine shook her head with a vulnerable expression “Jude wouldn't cheat on me. He was faithful to a fault” she said, her voice breaking slightly “Mom, nothing is certain yet; it's just a write up” Turning to Micheal, he asked “Is there a test we can do to know if we are siblings since dad isn't around for a DNA test?” Micheal nodded still in deep thought “We can carry out the siblingship test to know the truth” Catherine however remained visibly emotional. Sensing her distress, I stood up and moved over to her. I gl

Chapter 165. Counts as something

I pushed open Catherine’s door as she has refused to open up to anyone. I moved closer and settled beside her, laying a steady hand on her back. I didn’t have words that could mend her broken heart so I offered touch instead. “You know Avery,” she muttered through her tears. “I wish one of them were alive, there are questions I need to ask then” I found no ready comfort to offer so I just gave her a listening ear. Apparently, Catherine wasn’t angry at Micheal she was angry at the breach of trust and loyalty. Just as I was about to say something, the door opened and Catherine came in. I rose and gave Catherine a last gentle squeeze, stepping back to stand aside. Soon, I received a text from Ethan asking for us to be in the living room I quietly excused them, making my way to the room where Ethan, Michal and Lucas were already seated. Moments later, Catherine and Jenkins joined us. I noticed Catherine looking less emotional than she had been. She looked more compo

Chapter 165. July Seventeenth

Ethan and I sat across Micheal at the dinner table, while mom kept Jenkins in the living room. I noticed Ethan's absentmindedness. He took a bite, chewed slowly and then measured for a lingering moment. It felt like he had something else in mind. It was evident that something else was disturbing him. Suddenly, Ethan dropped his spoon with a clatter “Jude is not who you think he is” he blurted out and his brow creased at the thought as if he was reading deeper meaning into it. “Then who is Jude” “You mean dad?” Lucas corrected “No, Jude” Micheal also sat in deep thought and I could sense that the weight of Ethan's words struck him like a hard rock “That's our father” Micheal replied slowly “Maybe my mom said it because she was going through an emotional feat but i don't think there's more to what we know” Immediately our focus shifted back to dinner. After dinner, Ethan turned to me, “Avery, can you go upstairs? Micheal and I have something to sort out”

Two little Avery

The beeping sound of the ultra sound scan created a sense of awareness around me.“Ma'am you may now see the doctor” she said and Ethan helped me up as we headed to my Michael's office.We were there for a second ultra sound scan where the gender of my babies will be revealed. Everything was done in a discreet manner as earlier planned.We went to Michael's office and he wasted no time in handing over the envelope to us. I took the envelope from Ethan as they both engaged in a conversation I had no interest in.Soon enough, I became itchy to know the gender of my babies“What if it's a boy or a girl or both boy and girl” My mind raced at the thought of itJust as I was about opening it, Catherine came in immediately.On seeing her, I blurted out“Mom you should stop following us to every doctor's appointment, you're not the one expecting a child”After mimicking what I said, she blurted out“Of course I am expecting a child_grand children”Just then, Catherine stretched out her hand,

Chapter 167. Popular Jilted Bride

We headed outside to the serenaded venue of the party. The space was beautifully decorated with vibrant balloons and streamers fluttering in the gentle breeze. As we arrived, I could see that there were various fun performances lined up to entertain the guests before the main event. Finally, the moment we had all been waiting for arrivedEthan and I stood side by side. He positioned around the balloon arch designed for girls while I stood beneath the arch for boys. Catherine joined me around the blue balloons Lucas and Josh stood near each other beneath the balloon for a boy and a girl.

I could feel my heart racing with anticipation as we waitedSuddenly blue ribbons began to cascade like rain around me. The moment felt surreal and I shouted in excitement“Twin boys”The cheer erupted from the crowd where everyone shouted and clapped in excitement.Ethan rushed to h

Chapter 168. Getting married

I slipped downstairs to check in on Ethan in his study. When I reached the sitting room, I met Ethan and Jenkins in the middle of a conversation. Curiosity prickled my skin. What could be so important that these two would choose to sit and talk? The thought only intensified my curiosity. Unable to resist, I tiptoed closer. A small, mischievous chuckle bubbled up as I saw myself eaves dropping again.I leaned in closer, straining to catch more of the conversation I heard Jenkins say,“Ethan, you do know I love Catherine so much right?”Ethan replied in a light hearted tone that still carries an undercurrent of seriousness“Is that why you kept sending her flowers all these years?”Jenkins sighed with a hint of frustration creeping in his voice “I thought we were over that”“Oh yes! I forgot,” Ethan said, matching Jenkins tone with a teasing smirk.“We're over that”Jenkins chuckled, shaking his head“So can I continue?”Ethan nodded nonchalantly “As I was saying” Jenkins continued

Chapter 169. Popular Jilted Bride

Ethan and I were fully dressed as we prepared to head to the venue.We had worked hard to keep everything a secret especially from Catherine who had been the major event planner. I couldn't help but reminisce about a day we almost got caughtWe were all in the sitting room and my phone buzzed with a message from the event planner.“I need your presence,” she stated, as if it was urgentI whispered to Ethan. At that moment, I caught a glimpse of Catherine trying to read my lips. I met her gaze and gave her a smile. Soon, Ethan and I left everyone in the sitting room and headed to the venue.However, I noticed Catherine's car trailing behind me and I turned to Ethan, calling his attention to it. Ethan pulled over to the side of the road. When Catherine saw that she had been caught, she pulled over with a sheepish grin on her face. “Why are you following us?” Ethan asked amusingly Catherine let out a loud chuckle that quickly turned into laughter. “I thought you two were going for

Chapter 160. Fully yours

After a few back and forth conversations with Catherine, she finally agreed to come to the venue. I could feel the tension building as we awaited her arrival. Jenkins looked increasingly nervous, his hands fidgeting as he checked his watch. Soon the door opened and Catherine stepped in looking confused “Surprise!” We all shouted Catherine's eyes widened with a look of disbelief as Jenkins took a step forward and the spotlight fell on him, illuminating the heartfelt words displayed prominently. “Will you marry me?” Catherine looked as if all these were too much for her to process. Jenkins approached her slowly and I could tell that she understood what was about to unfold Jenkins knelt down on one knee, looking at Catherine vulnerably. At that moment, all eyes were on him. Catherine began to fidget. “Catherine Blackwood, will you marry me?”. Catherine began to stutter. Jenkins was still kneeling down with an unwavering gaze as he waited for her response. I s
