Millionaire's Unknown Daughter

Chapter 55

The morning after Maddox's proposal felt completely surreal, I couldn't keep the goofy smile from my face. Just thinking of last night makes my heart swell knowing that he really does want to be with me and there was a genuine reason - albeit a stupid one- that he was acting funny before.

I was the first one up despite going to bed so late, and felt like shît from the lack of sleep. I was feeding the girls when Luke entered the kitchen where I was looking grim.

"Ma'am? There's someone at the main gates demanding to see you," He tells me quickly. Frowning I look at the clock on the wall and see it's only a few minutes after eight. Who could it be so early? "It's your ex-husband." He blurts out after reading the confusion on my face. After hearing who it is I scowl unhappily and feel my good mood evapourate.

"Of course it is. I can't have just one day without shît dropping into my lap now can I?" I ask bitterly. "Go wake Maddox and my dad please, before I have to go deal with him. He'll just have to wait until I'm ready to see him, I need to finish up here first anyway." I tell Luke calmly motioning down at the girls.

"Yes, ma'am." He says as he heads to do as I'd asked.

After feeding the girls I take them upstairs and dress them both and then leave them gurgling in their cribs while I pull on some jeans and one of Maddox's t-shirts, throwing my hair up into a messy bun I head back to the girls room.
Maddox is already in there talking to them and pulling faces through the bars of their cribs making them laugh loudly. Seeing me his eyes light up and he comes over pulling me into his arms "You okay baby?" He asks me softly.

I nod against him and relax slightly now he's here "No, but I will be."

"I've asked Luke and Ryan to watch over the girls while we're busy," He tells me gently. I just nod at him pleased and then frown confused when I feel him tense up "How are you feeling this morning, no regrets?" He asks me sounding slightly nervous.

"None whatsoever. I can't wait to marry you Maddox, I love you." I tell him honestly.

"Good," He breathes out clearly relieved "Come on then, let's go see what he wants, though I can harbour a guess." He mumbles annoyed.

Taking my hand and leaving as Luke and Ryan enter I head downstairs not looking forward to whatever bullshît Ares was going to start.
Dad met us in the kitchen and handed us both a coffee. Xeres was already down here too with Warren, and I'd heard Ivan go to work earlier this morning so I knew he wouldn't be here.
