#2 Chapter 54
Chapter 54.
Xander Morgan and Annabelle Morgan managed to stay out of trouble throughout that day as they didn’t want the school authority to deduct from their mother’s salary.
Normally, they didn’t find pleasure in causing trouble in their class, they fight and get into trouble if one of their classmates abuses them of not having a father and thereby calling their mother a slut which no kid will want to hear and there was Matt, a boy in their class, he hated them so much because he envied them, he finds pleasure in abusing them and mostly calling Luna a slut, which always results to them beating him and his friends up.
Luna too was not making anything easy for the kids, she always avoid every topics relating with their father. She even forced them to promise her that they will forget about him.
Luna had always tried to protect them from her past, she had always tell them that they had no father, they were born without anyone to call a dad, leaving the kids to wonder, “How is that possible? All kids in their class have a dad, even Mark and Jose has a dad too, then, why were we born without one? Are we perhaps the second Jesus?” Their thoughts they had no answer to, so they decided to find out answers by themselves.
“We must have a dad! I won’t like it if we happen to be the second Jesus. We know that mummy is keeping things from us and we can’t question her or she would be sad and accuse us of breaking our promises.” They will always say among themselves but in Luna’s thought, all her thoughts were centered on protecting the truth from her children, for their own good.
They were in the sitting room of their two bedroom flat, they just finished eating as they arrived from school not quite long.
“Mom, it is almost time. Mark and Jose will be here soon, please mom, allow us to go, we promise we won’t cause any trouble, we will just get what we want and leave the mall.” Xander pleaded with Luna on behave of his sisters and himself, even Katherine wanted to go.
“Can I say no to you kids?” Luna asked them, already coming to a conclusion.
“No mother, I want to go too. We even need some breathing space, you are always with us every time and it is becoming annoying. And besides, you trust Mark and Jose right? They will take care of us.” Katherine said, giving Luna her perfect puppy eyes.
Mark and Jose were the triplet’s friends. Mark was eighteen years old and was in the same school with the kids but in the twelveth grade in high school side while Jose was a year older than the kids but he was in the same class with them. He was the only one in the class that relates with them. Their school comprises of both the elementary school and the high school inside the same compound.
“Fine. I know that you kids ganged up against me, so fine, you can go but don’t forget to buy something for mummy and don’t go too faraway from Mark okay?” Luna finally gave in, folding her hands together with a fake frown on her face.
“Thank you so much, we love you mummy.” They said happily hugging her, thereby wiping the frown off her face.
“I love you too.”
A car horn got them disengaged, “Do you hear that?” Luna asked them.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes mom, Mark and Jose are here.” They rejoiced, picked their mini fashion bags and rushed out of the house.
“Be careful kids, you might fall.” Luna cautioned them but none replied her.
Luna got out of the house to see the kids already settled inside the Range Rover Mark brought, which was like the lest of the cars they owe, she waved at them and walked back to her house.
“They will be fine.” She reassured herself and shut the door.
Unlike Luna, who was struggling to make sure that her children live a comfortable life, Mark and Jose were from a rich background, their parents were very wealthy. Their father had like five companies all around the country and their mother was a fashion idol, so they were living inside money and their parents had a 40% share in their school.
The triplets sat down comfortably at the back seat of the car while Jose sat at the passenger seat beside the driver, who was Mark.
“I didn’t saw you today after closing, it was like you three disappeared.” Jose said, turning back to stare at them.
“We ran to mummy’s office to continue to pacify her, she refused to allow us to follow you because we told her about it just this morning.” Xander replied Jose.
“Why did you forget? I told you about it like a week ago.” Jose said again.
“We don’t know okay? We just forgot about it but not to worry, we are here now.” Xander said.
“Hey! Mind what you say! You forgot, not we. I only found out about it this morning and you prevented me from telling mom.” Annabelle countered.
“So you expected me to allow you to say it to mom with that your big lousy mouth? Don’t worry, I will pass.” Xander said back.
“We are almost here guys.” Mark said, knowingly stopping Annabelle from talking, or else, she will end up fighting with Xander. The car was silent till they got to their destination.
“And here we are.” Mark parked the car in the mall’s packing lots.
“Wow!” The kids gushed as they entered the mall.
“This place is so beautiful.” Katherine muttered, walking behind them all.
“Of course it is.” Jose said. He halted his step to be on the same pace with Katherine, “If you want, we can come here again with the driver, just you and me.” Jose had a crush on her but they never haven’t really talked with each other, Katherine was always quiet and keep to herself.
“I don’t think that will be necessary.” Katherine said and walked faster to meet up with her siblings.
“Mark, we will like to tour around the mall, I promise we won’t get lost, we will pick things we want as we are on it.” Annabelle said pulling Xander and Katherine with her, running deeper into the mall.
“Do you want Jose to come along?” Mark asked after them.
“No, we are good.” She shouted as they were already a distance away.
Mark watched them as they disappeared from his sight. “They are happy.” He said to Jose, who wasn’t even listening.
“Katherine talked to me.” He gushed out his mind smilingly.
“Meet me up there when you are done daydreaming.” Mark said shaking his head at his brother and he began to walk away.
“Mark, it is not fair, you suppose to say sweet words to me to make me happier.” Jose whined.
“Why will I say sweet words to you when I’m not Katherine.” Mark laughed and continued putting the things he wanted inside the shopping basket, with a frowny Jose beside him.
Xander, Annabelle and Katherine were still looking around the mall while picking a few things inside their baskets but halted when they heard.
“Hey kids!”
