Chapter 20: Mommy Is No Match for Him

Nicole shuddered at the thought of not being home yet.
Thereafter, Noelle, who was opposite, seemingly gestured something at her. A small paper airplane flew in and landed right beside Nicole’s feet.
Nicole picked up the paper airplane and felt around on the desk beside her. She switched on the table lamp.
She opened the paper airplane and found a line of words with beautiful handwriting. “I have to go back quickly! I still have class tomorrow!—Noelle.”
Nicole took a pen from the drawer and hesitated for a moment before writing. “But I haven’t had enough fun yet – Nicole”
The small paper airplane flew back.
After a while, another paper airplane flew in. Nicole opened it up. “Next time, I will switch with you again. Otherwise, daddy will find out! – Noelle”
“Okay, how are we going to switch back?—Nicole”
“When daddy and mommy are not paying attention, sneak out of the house!—Noelle”
10 minutes later, the two kids that looked identical met in the corridor.
This time, she had the time to carefully examine this person who looked like her. Nicole suddenly said, “You are my brother!”
“Why do you say that?” Noelle was confused.
“We came back with mommy this time to find our brother! You look just like us. You must be my brother,” Nicole said confidently.
“But I have a biological mother… It’s just that daddy and I don’t like her,” Noelle mused.
Since he already had a mother, it was impossible for him to have another mother. This matter immediately troubled Nicole. She said with a sad face, “Then you might not be my brother anymore.”
Seeing that the little girl was sad, Noelle quickly said, “But I also want your mommy to be my mommy.”
“Really?” Nicole was pleasantly surprised.
Suddenly remembering Alpha, Nicole hesitated. “Actually, your dad’s not so bad.”
“Then we can have the same parents!” Noelle had an idea, but he was quickly disappointed. “But mommy doesn’t like Daddy. She even argued with him tonight.”
“No,” Nicole denied. “I saw daddy and mommy on the same bed today. Daddy was pressing mommy, but mommy ran away.”
“Ah!” Noelle instantly understood and explained to Nicole. “Those two were fighting! After that, mommy couldn’t win and ran away.”
“Impossible! My mommy is very powerful. There’s no way she can’t win!”
Seeing that they were about to digress from the topic, Noelle cautiously looked behind her and whispered, “We just have to make them reconcile and be willing to be our mom and dad. Nicole, let’s switch back quickly.”
Thus, after exchanging their pajamas, the two of them sneaked back to their home.
Early the next morning, I got a call from Galen.
“Luna, Alpha found out about you staying at Kamel apartment, but I hid the critical part for you!”
I groaned. It would have been strange if Alpha hadn’t checked on me after what had happened last night. “Just don’t let him discover my other identities,” I said flatly.
“Alright, speaking of which…” Galen paused for a moment before saying, “I should be returning to China soon.”
“Oh? For what reason?”
“A company asked me to be a senior technical consultant. They offered a rather high salary, so I wanted to return to China to develop my career.”
“Okay. I’ll celebrate with you when you get back.” I hung up.
However, not long after, another unfamiliar call came in.
“Hello? Is this Luna?”
I froze, and it took me a moment to recognize that this was my aunt’s daughter, Sandy’s voice.
On the other end of the line, Sandy said to me, sobbing, “Luna, my mom is dying.. She wants to see you again before she dies.”
