THE SURROGATE MOTHER

Chapter 19

[LISA's POV]

On our way home, I can't stop thinking about Jennie. I smiled when I remembered how she turned to a kid when she played with the twins. I pull over and then took my phone inside my pocket and find her pictures I secretly took earlier. A big smile crept into my mouth as I was looking at her pictures. I finally got to see that kind of smile again.

‘Should I give you the closure you wanted?’

Maybe at that time she will be completely happy and will not be disturbed by our past.

Not too long, we got home and the twins are still sleeping. I stopped the car in front of the porch and I saw Somi standing at the door frame, cross-armed.

I hopped off and went to the backseat door to get my kids. I heard a footsteps coming towards my direction.

“Where have you guys been?” with her monotone, Somi, asked.

I look at her over my shoulder and answers. “We came from the mall. I just accompanied them to play” and then unbuckled their seatbelts.

“Play? At this late hour? Lisa, do you know what time it is?!” Her voice rose.

“Lower your voice, they're sleeping” I calmly said.

“Exactly! So why did you bring them home just now? They must be sleeping soundly in their beds! Not in your damn car”

I carry Ahyeon and exactly my butler getting out of the garage. I call for him.

“Uncle, Gong Yoo” He march to my spot. “Help me with this please, get Chiquita. Thank you”

Somi was walking ahead of us, and when we reached the twin's room she then opens the door. We placed them gently on the bed.

“Thank you, Uncle. You can leave now” I smiled and he bowed before exiting the room.

I walks to their wardrobes and fine them a pajamas. I sat beside Ahyeon and start changing her. And then to Chiquita after. Somi was just sitting on the couch the whole time.

“Have you eaten?” I asked when we're walking down the stairs.

“Not yet, cause I've waited for you guys to get home” She replied, still mad.

“I'll cook for you then” I prepare the ingredients for the recipes.

A short while later, she talks again.

“Is it that hard to text that you go out and will go home at night?”

“Sorry, it slipped my mind. I was too focused on the kids that I didn't get to tell you our whereabouts” still with my calm voice. And it's true, I'm too focused on them included Jennie.

“I will ask you too. Why did you leave without saying goodbye?”

“As if you care” She rolled her eyes on me.

I place the food in front of her and the cup of tea I made for her.

“Drink that tea. I want whiskey” She rise up from her seat and about to go get the beverage, but I held her wrist making her stopped. “What?!” She shouts.

I made her sit back. “Somi. You're tipsy. So don't think of drinking another alcohol” how did I know? of course I smelled her.

“Yeah tipsy but not yet drunk, I can handle my self, honey” She smirk and went to her small bar.
