Barren Heiress Returns With Quadruplet

Kamille’s POV

“What’s up with you ladies?” I asked.

“We’re good love,” Amanda replied.

“How are the kids?” Belle chimed in.

“They’re good and having fun, while I’m stuck up here.” I replied with a smile tugging at my lips.

“How else do you want it to be?” Amanda asked.

“Well, yunno anything else balanced,” I replied and we all laughed.

“Don’t be silly Kam,” Belle said as we recovered from the brief laughing.

“Of course, I could not have wished for a better case scenario,” I replied with a smile. “And oh, thank you once again for Tyris’s hat, she loved it,” I added.

“Oh, it was nothing, really,” Belle replied modestly, her voice tinged with warmth.

“Right, how about we hang out. It has been like forever since we last did,” Amanda suggested.

“I support that motion too!” Belle squealed. “We need to go out, take a break and unwind a bit,” she added excitedly.

I hesitated, my mind flashing back to the last time I had attempted to go out with Chris, only for it to end in disaster with Royer’s accident.

“I don’t know, guys,” I admitted hesitantly. “The last time I tried to unwind, it didn’t go so well. I don’t want anything bad to happen to the kids.”

“Nanny Dona is there for a reason Kam,” Amanda interjected.

“Come on, Kamille,” Belle urged gently. “You need to take some time for yourself, have a little fun, relax.”

I sighed, torn between my desire to unwind and my responsibilities as a mother. “Fine,” I relented reluctantly. “But I’m not staying longer than an hour. Since I have a movie night with my kids tonight.”

Amanda’s response was enthusiastic. “Perfect!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.

“Alright besties, see you guys later.” I said as I glanced at my unfinished article on my PC.

“Alright love, see you.” They replied and hung up.

I returned my focus to my PC and blocked out all distractions, I wrote my articles until I finished, edited and submitted.

“Damn it,” I cursed as I glanced at the clock and realized it was already almost six pm.

I pushed back my chair and made my way to my room to freshen up and get ready for the evening ahead.

After a quick shower, I stood before the mirror, contemplating my outfit for the evening. Deciding on a chic yet casual look, I selected a pair of high-waisted jeans and a flowy blouse, accented with delicate floral patterns.

I slipped into a pair of comfortable yet stylish heels, then I applied a light layer of makeup.

Just tonight, I was going to unwind and enjoy some much-needed time with my friends. I needed to make the most out of it.

With a final glance in the mirror to ensure everything was in place, I grabbed my purse and headed out the door. I descended the stairs to find Nanny Dona bustling about the kitchen, setting the table for the kids’ dinner.

The delicious aroma of home-cooked food filled the air. “What is cooking down here without me?” I asked with a smile as I entered the kitchen.

On seeing me, the kid’s eyes lit up with admiration at the sight of me. “Wow, Mummy, you look so pretty!” Tyris exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration.

I couldn’t help but smile at their sweet words, my heart swelling with love for them. “Thank you, sweetheart,” I replied, ruffling her hair affectionately. “I’m sorry I can’t join you guys for dinner now, but I promise I’ll bring back some pizza and ice cream for our movie night, how does that sound?”

“Yeahh,” The kids erupted into squeals of joy, their excitement contagious. I chuckled at their enthusiasm.

“I’ll be home by seven thirty, but they can begin the movies, I’ll join in.” I instructed Nanny Dona.

“Alright Miss Kamille,” She replied with a nod.

Just then, my phone beeped with a message.

We’re close-by Kam.

Belle.

“Alright babies, see you guys.” I said, going around to plant kisses and give brief hugs to them before stepping out.

Just as I stepped into the front porch, I noticed Amanda’s car pull up on the entrance. I smiled and walked towards the car.

As I settled into the car, Amanda turned to me with a mischievous grin. “I see you are already acting the part well enough,” she commented, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

I chuckled, feeling a surge of excitement bubbling within me. “Not really,” I admitted with a shrug. “I’m just looking forward to some good food and great company.”

Belle nodded in agreement, her enthusiasm was somewhat suspicious for her persona. “Sounds like a plan,” she replied, her voice filled with anticipation. “Let’s make tonight one to remember!”

With that, we set off into the night and soon enough, we pulled up to the club. Just before stepping out of the car, I couldn’t help but notice Belle engrossed in her phone, her fingers flying across the screen as she typed away.

“Can’t stay away from your fiance, huh?” I quipped, raising an eyebrow teasingly.

Belle chuckled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Actually, it’s a surprise for you,” she revealed, her voice filled with excitement.

Before I could respond, the car door swung open, and to my utter shock, there stood Chris, a warm smile on his face.

My heart skipped a beat as I struggled to process his unexpected presence. What was he doing here? And more importantly, what was the surprise about?

“Chris!” I exclaimed, unable to conceal my surprise. “What are you doing here?”

His smile widened as he extended a hand to help me out of the car. “I thought I’d join in on the fun,” he replied casually, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

I turned to look at the guilty faces of Amanda and Belle. “You ladies set me up,” I said, still trying to come to terms with Chris’s presence.

“Just consider it as us trying to help out a friend by helping out her friend,” Amanda replied and we all laughed.

“Shall I?” Chris asked, putting out his arm for me to hold.

I nodded and put my arms on his and we walked into the club. As we settled into the club, the lively atmosphere engulfed us, the music pulsating through the air as we ordered drinks and steaks.

Laughter filled the air as Amanda and Belle began making playful jokes, teasing me mercilessly as Chris watched with a smile.

I chuckled nervously, trying to defend myself against their good-natured ribbing, but their banter only seemed to grow stronger.

As the evening wore on, I checked my phone and it was almost seven thirty.

“Alright ladies and gentleman, my time to leave you has come already,” I smiled.

“Come on Kam, the night is still young,” Amanda replied.

“I bet Chris here would not want you to leave,” Belle said, putting her arm over Chris.

“I’ll go with her decision though,” Chris replied, acting cute.

“Well, I have to get some pizza and ice cream for my kids and see a movie with them before bedtime,” I announced.

“Okay, that still sounds like fun.” Amanda said, nodding her head. “Let me drop you off then.” She offered.

But before I could respond, Chris interjected, “Let me instead,”

I noticed Belle shoot Amanda a knowing look, and Amanda conceded to Chris, her expression filled with understanding. “Call me when you’re home,” Amanda said with a wink.

What the fuck was I missing out on?

“Okay, thank you ladies for the night,” I said and we gathered for warm hugs and goodbye kisses.

We settled into Chris’s car and he drove me to the pizza store. We got inside and got the pizza and ice cream for my kids before heading back into Chris’s car.

I wondered why he didn’t think of getting for his kid too, but I brushed it aside. I did not want to bring something up that could hurt his feelings. I sighed.

“Are you alright?” Chris asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” I replied, suddenly feeling somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze.

As we pulled up to my house, I turned to Chris with a grateful smile, “Thank yo…”

My words were swallowed up as Chris’s warm lips met mine in a sudden and unexpected kiss. At first, I was taken aback, feeling nothing but surprise coursing through me.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

What the hell is going on here?

Pull out.

That would hurt his fucking feelings.

His lips feel nice though.

I was caught in between continuing with the kiss but I could not bring myself to pull out, so I decided to respond to his kiss.

But as his kiss lingered, I couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable. I was waiting for that familiar spark to occur, but it did not.

When we finally broke apart, Chris looked apologetic, his eyes filled with regret.

“I’m sorry,” he murmured, his voice tinged witk . “I think I might have had a bit too much to drink.”

I reassured him with a gentle smile, my heart still racing from the unexpected encounter but I made sure to conceal it. “It’s okay,” I replied softly.

We bid each other farewell and immediately I got into my house, I banged the door shut.

What in the freaking hell just happened?!
