438: Fat Cheeks

Fat Cheeks

  It's been days since the last time that they experimented on Johanna. She's doing and feeling better after Connor visited her. Currently, she's doing her daily exercise. Gray approached her in his sweatshirt and sweatpants. He checked on her and shook her head. 

"I think it is better if you sleep in my room." 

  She put down the weights. 

"Were you supposed to sleep in a fancy mansion?" She asked as she wiped her sweat. He rolled his eyes. 

"I am trying to protect you here." 

  She scoffed at him and laughed. 

"I think you should mind your own business, Gray. They will kill me sooner or later since I killed the crazy Princess." 

"It is true that they might kill you." Kennedy interrupted as he approached Johanna. "But my grandfather is in a bad shape because of what you said." 

"Oh, please don't kill me." Johanna acted like pleading but then she rolled her eyes. "I would never beg. I will kill every person who tries to kill me." 

  Kennedy raised his hands to surrender and laughed. 

"Well, I don't intend to kill you at all. Let's have a nice lunch together." 

"It doesn't have poison or what?" She asked. 

"No. Not at all. Kids are free to join." He patted Gray. "Let's have something nice today. Maybe in the garden?" 

"Garden sounds great." Johanna looked at Gray. "I need to take a bath first." She winked at Kennedy and turned back. 

  Gray shook his head. He disapproves whenever Johanna is using her flirtatious attitude toward everyone. But who is he to complain and there's nothing between him and her. He's the only one who assumed that there's something between them. Anyway, he followed Kennedy to the corridor on the way to the garden. 

"So, how are the kids?" 

"I am very sorry to say that the three of them would grow up to be psychopaths. It is because of the variant that the doctors injected into them. I think they should stop it." 

"Indeed." Kennedy agreed. "I am trying hard to get them out of experimenting. Mostly the kids. But because of the investors, my hands are tied. Not to mention that I am married to Lefebure." 

"Right," Gray nodded his head. 

"So, why are you still staying with Lefebure?" Kennedy asked. "You aren't supposed to be with them." 

"Uh, you know. They pay me a lot. Why can't I? They didn't starve me, so it's fine." 

"Hmm," Kennedy thought deeply. "Anyway, I will try to solve this matter." 

"How?" Gray asked him. "You know what? You looked older than the last time I saw you. Did your wife stress you out?" 

  He laughed as he agreed. Married life is much more complicated than being single. 

  In the garden, it was a mini banquet for them. The kids are running around, well except for their main killing machine. Two boys and a girl. They were the ones that will be sold to their main investor. Somehow, Kennedy was bad about it. But he has no choice or else, they will pull all of the investments. 

"The food?" Johanna asked as she sat down with Alexa and others. 

"Miss Hannah Grace, I would like to give you a proposal," Kennedy said. "Will it be better if we will be at the other table?" 

  Johanna titled her head as she thought for a while. She shrugged and nodded her head. 

"Okay,"

  It was in the afternoon when Tracey and Ian arrived in the main mansion of Rossie. She was so excited to see Keira, that she rushed to the main playroom. 

"Keira!" She shouted. Keira turned her head and smiled at her. Tracey ran to her and was about to fling her arms but she froze and looked down at the baby in Keira's arms. "Wow. She's so beautiful!" Tracey exclaimed as she sat beside Keira and hugged her. "I miss you." She kissed Keira's cheeks. "I miss you so much." Then, she started sobbing which caught everyone's attention. "Why?" 

"Hey, why are you crying?" Keira hissed. 

"I~~I just missed you." She sniffled and wiped her tears. "Fat cheeks." She was about to poke Callisa's fat cheeks but she stopped when she realized that her hands were dirty. "Anyway," She reached for the tissue and blew her nose. "I will wash quickly to hug you more." She then rushed out. 

"Wow, that's so dramatic." Ian chuckled as he approached Keira. "I have a baby too. He's more handsome than Kal." 

"Really?" Keira raised her brows and showed off her baby. Ian looked down at Griffin leaning on his chest while he was in the baby carrier. 

  Keira peeked at Griffin and gasped. 

"Fat cheeks." 

"Yeah," Ian grinned as he carefully unclasped the locks. 

"He's adorable," Keira said as she showed her newborn baby. Griffin yawned and looked at Callisa. He pointed to Callisa to reach her cheeks as Griffin looked up at her father and yawned. 

"Look who's sleepy?" Ian kissed Griffin's forehead. "So, how's the day?" He asked. 

"Fine. I guess being a mom is like this. But somehow, I enjoyed it partially. She's adorable." She looked down at her baby lovingly. 

"Isha!" Kal rushed to Keira and climbed up on the sofa and looked at Callisa. He made a surprised face when he saw Griffin. 

"Lots of girls around, eh?" Ian teased when he looked at Terrence's daughter and Quinn.

"Bibi!" Kal exclaimed that startled both Griffin and Callisa. 

  Suddenly, Quinn shouted who was in her crib doing a puzzle and she threw her small bear toward Kal but it didn't reach him. Ian and Keira looked at each other. 

"I guess, we can't scare Quinn anyway," Ian said. Keira patted Kal's head. 

"Baby, you can't scare anyone with your exclamation." 

"Sowey… Kin-kin." Kal slipped off from the sofa and approached Quinn. "Sowey, Kin-Kin." 

  Quinn only glanced at him and continued with her puzzle. 

"Kin-Kin. I say sowey!" Kal shouted at her. Then, Quinn reached for the pillow and hit it on the crib just in front of him. "Ay! Baddie. Mama, baddie Kin-Kin." He shouted just in time when Maxine entered the room with her baby. 

"Why are you shouting now, love?" Maxine asked as she greeted Ian and peeked at his baby. 

"Kin-kin, angry." He crossed his arms. Quinn shouted in high pitch and threw her blocks at him. 

"That's a temper," Ian mumbled at Maxine and Keira. "That's a whole temper there." 

"Quinn hates it when she is being interrupted." 

"I don't think that her mother was like that." Ian looked at Connor who was currently busy organizing the playroom. "Was she, Connor?" 

"Not entirely." Connor laughed and only let her daughter do whatever she wanted. "I will scold her later."

"Kal, don't shout, okay? Quinn's ears are highly sensitive. Leave her alone." 

  Quinn reached the rail to help her stand. Then, she shouted at her father. 

"Papa!" Quinn somehow makes a sound like 'Papa' turning it into clear words. Connor quickly approached her with that big smile, picked her up, and gave her kisses. 

"Wow," Ian said as he looked down at Griffin. "Little love, can you call me papa or probably dada?"  1

  Griffin only looked at him, puzzled. 

"Well, you will soon call me," Ian said. Tracey rushed inside. 

"I admire the little sink there," Tracey said. 

"That's actually for Kal every time he wants to eat," Maxine told her. Then, Tracey peeked at Maxine's daughter. 

"Wow, she's so beautiful," Tracey mumbled. 

  Then, Tracey went to Connor and peeked at Quinn who was currently hugging her father's neck. 

"She's tired from all of the puzzles," Connor said. "With an additional annoyance from mischievous Kal." 

"Adorable!" Tracey said. Then, she approached Kal and squeezed him in a big hug. 

"No!" Kal pushed himself. "Foodie, pers!" He crossed his arms. 

"Fine," Tracey rolled her eyes as she reached for her purse and took out the chocolate that she's been keeping. "Here," 

"Yay!" Kal hugged her after he received it. 

"What~~" Ian prolonged as he creased his brows. "Do we have to offer him food before he accepts hugs? Since when did he decide to do that?" 

"Like-right now. I guess." Maxine laughed. "Food is a must." 

"Hello everyone!" Harvey greeted everyone with Dione in his arms. "I would like to announce to all of you that I adopted an adorable big brother for every baby in here." 

"Oh," Ian nodded her head as others agreed. 

"He will be here soon. We are throwing a little party also, Victor will be home too!" 

"Cool!" Everyone exclaimed. 

"But, did just Ace leave the country?" Ian asked. "Are we supposed to greet Victor all together?" 

"Yeah," Harvey nodded his head. "About that, he needs to be there for a few things." 

  Kal approached Harvey and extended his chocolate to him. Harvey tucked the chocolate into his pocket as Kal waited for him to open it. But since Harvey ignored him, Kal kept waiting and followed him. 

"He will just be with us later. Anyway, uhm, let's take a nap for tonight's party. Ian and Trace, your room is ready." He said. Then, he looked at Griffin. "Look, Little Duke. Griffin, your Aunt." 

"I think Griffin is just fine. You don't have to add anything else. He's just a baby." Tracey said. 

  Dione looked at Griffin and waved her hand.

"Tsoklet!" Kal shouted at Harvey. 

"What?" Harvey looked down at him. Kal's face was red and annoyed. 

"Tsoklet!" He pointed to Harvey's pocket. 

"I don't have it." Harvey tried to peeve him.
