The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 56

"Let me be a father to our children."

I knew how much my li'l trio dreamed to have a father. Kahit hindi nila sabihin ay kita ko sa mga mata nila na gusto nilang makilala at makasama ang ama nila. They were just considerate enough to consider my feelings.

I smiled bitterly.

They were all ready to consider my feelings--- without hesitation, yet I was hesitating to consider theirs. How bad mother I was.

"Please consider their feelings, Taegan."

Napapikit ako nang maalala ang sinabi ni Christian. I know I should consider their feelings. I know I should let them meet their father. But... am I ready? Am I ready to feel that they're not totally mine? Na may kahati ako sa kanila? I knew Giovanni and I didn't have a chance to get back together because he already has a girlfriend. I won't let him broke up with Annika just because we have kids. I don't tolerate that.

"Giovanni," pagtawag ko sa lalaki nang makita siya sa fitness center.

Napalingon siya sa gawi ko at kaagad na pinatay ang treadmill para makalapit sa akin.

"Why?"

I stared at him. "Do you really want to know them?"

"Yes." I saw the determination and a trace of happiness on his eyes.

I averted my gaze. "Gusto mo nga ba... o gusto mo lang makilala sila para gamitin at makapaghigante sa 'kin---"

"No, of course not. How could I do that to my own children? To my own trio, Aaliyah?"

"It's Taegan. For you to know, I am not the Aaliyah---"

"Okay, it's Taegan." He chuckled.

I glared at him for interrupting me again. Nakakailan ka na, ha?!

I sneered. "I'll introduce you to them." Nang akmang magsasalita siya ay inunahan ko na. "That's when they wanted to meet you too. I'll ask them first. Sasabihan nalang kita kapag pumayag sila."

Hindi ko na inantay pa ang magiging sagot niya at tinalikuran ko na. Papalabas na ako nang may isinigaw siya sa akin.

"Thank you, love!"

Akmang sasamaan ko siya ng tingin nang mapansin ang mapanuksong kantyawan ng mga cruisers na nasa fitness center. Imbes na samaan siya ng tingin ay tumakbo na ako palabas.

Love? Putangina niya!

"Li'l trio, come here."

I am now sitting on the couch, waiting for them to come near me. Nang makalapit sila ay isa-isa ko silang tiningnan. They were standing right in front of me, with brows met, curious as to why did I call them.

"Do you wanna meet your father?" I asked straightforwardly.

I saw how their emotion changed--- from a curious to a shock expression. When they noticed how I stared at them, they all averted their gaze away from me.

"You mean, meet Mr. Silvestre?"

Gulat akong napapatingin kay Kristoff sa sinabi niya. How come that he know?

Tiningnan ko sina Atreus at Elaiza at nakitang nakatingin lang sila sa akin.

Wait... Did they already know?

"If you two will be together, then I wanna meet him as our Dad, not as Mr. Silvestre, the stranger that I used to..." Elaiza trailed off as she winced a bit. "Punch."

I averted my gaze as I faked a cough. "We'll not be back together, but if you three wanna meet him, I'll let you---"

"Nah, we're not gonna meet him as our Dad if you two won't be together. We'll still see him as Mr. Silvestre, the son of the owner of this ship."
