[Five years later]
“Mommy, mommy, don’t sleep anymore. Look at the plane taking off from the ground. I want to run on the ground later too.”
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw Nicole’s delicate and cute little face. The little tantrum I had from being woken up was gone.
Beside her, Winnie quietly glanced at Nicole before putting the children’s book into her little bag.

Seeing that I was awake, Nicole opened her big black eyes and asked, “Mommy, mommy, are we here to find daddy?”
I adjusted my sitting position and said dryly, “You guys don’t have a father.”
“I don’t believe that. Without a father, did we jump out of mommy’s armpit?”
Ignoring whether or not I was paying attention to her, Nicole mumbled to herself, “If you’re not looking for daddy, are you looking for big brother?! Wow, is Nicole going to have a big brother?!”
When I heard the word ‘brother’, my heart trembled. I was tidying up my makeup when I clearly saw the cold light in my eyes from the reflection in the mirror.
If Brother Robin hadn’t arrived in time, I wouldn’t know where the two little cuties by my side would have been now. But Robin came a little late and didn’t guarantee the safety of the sisters’ brother.
I must get him back this time! Moreover, Peter finally couldn’t hold back and agreed to break the engagement. This marriage has been delayed for so long, it should have ended long ago.
It took me five whole years to finally recover, and my childhood obesity slowly left me. Occasionally, when I saw myself in the mirror with a beautiful face, I felt that it was unreal.
When we finally landed, Nicole’s jubilant mood brought Winnie up a little. Looking at the two little adorable figures, there was an indescribable warmth in my heart. It would be good if we could find her brother. Then Winnie’s illness would be cured…
Robin’s phone call came in shortly after I turned my phone on. “Luna, which exit are you at? Okay, stand still. I’ll go find you!” Robin always appeared when I needed him the most. We were closer than blood-related siblings.
“Uncle Robin, Uncle Robin, I miss you so much!”
“Uncle Robin, I miss you too!”
Nicole was lively while Winnie was quiet. They both had different personalities.
Soon, we arrived at the apartment building that Brother Robin had prepared. “I’m quite busy today and still have a meeting to attend. You don’t have much luggage and you used to live here. Go up and pack up and have a good rest since you’re tired from the flight.”
“Goodbye Uncle Robin!”
“Goodbye, Uncle Robin!” The two little girls said in unison.
Just as I turned around and was about to enter, a man in a suit walked out.
He politely held the glass door to let me through, but his eyes quickly sized me up from head to toe, giving me a dirty look. It was him, Peter!
Back then, he used this gaze to size up my half-sister, Shana. I didn’t expect to meet him so soon. As the saying goes, enemies would often cross paths with each other.
“Thank you,” I replied politely, leading my two babies inside.
“Do you need help?” He jogged a few steps from the door and chased after me.
“No, thanks.” The politeness in my tone faded as I kept walking.
He tactfully stopped following. I could feel him watching us leave.
“There’s a gorgeous woman that arrived in Kamel apartment today. She’s about 23 years old, with long curly blond hair, a high nose bridge, and a pair of mesmerizing eyes, especially with that mole at the corner of her eye. Oh yes, she also has a pair of twin sisters, about four or five years old. She should have just arrived today. Help me find out her background. I, Peter, definitely want this woman! What fiancée? I heard that ugly fat pig is coming back in the next few days to break off the engagement with me. She should have broken off long ago, damn it…”
As the elevator doors closed, Peter’s voice, which sounded like a dog’s barking, finally went out of earshot.
