The Contract Wife. book Series #1 (COMPLETED!)

C30: Cookies

He reached the top floor of the cabin where the cries greeted him. A smile made its way to his face as he walked to the bed where his two angles lay, crying their hearts out.

"Oh Ariel. Not you again." Derek sighed as he noticed Lilith stopped crying once her eyes landed on him, yet Ariel cried even louder and reached out her hands. "You noisy little brat." He chuckled as he carried Ariel off the bed and into his arms, checking her diaper, it was perfectly fine. "Are you hungry?"

Lilith began to cry once she noticed he wasn't giving her as much attention as she needed. He eventually carried her as well and checked her before standing up.

"Hungry it is." He said before putting them back to the bed and walking over to the two milk bottles on the dashboard.

Carrying Ariel into his hands, he tried bringing the bottle to her mouth but she eventually knocked it off his hands and cried even louder. He picked it up, thinking she just couldn't see it, but she knocked it off again, this time, grabbing his shirt in tempt to chock him.

"Okay you tell me, what is it you want?" Derek asked Ariel as he held her in the air with furrowed brows. "I will throw you out the window." Ariel stopped crying and began to giggle. "You want to be thrown out the window?" He chuckled and she continued to giggle. "No, I think your mum will kill me."

He put Ariel back on the bed and carried Lilith who couldn't stop crying. She immediately stopped crying. He smiled and placed her on his right shoulder, with his free hand, he carried Ariel off the bed and into his arms.

Making sure not to hit the girls on anything, he carefully made his way out of the room and down the flight of stairs. It wasn't long before he could hear his father's chatter in the corridor.

"He looked like he died and was rotting from the inside!" His father laughed out as Derek walked into the living room, only to frown at his father who was busy chattering to Victoria. "If you saw him you would think to burry him that moment."

"Come on dad please." Derek sighed as he sat in the open seat next to Victoria on the wide couch. "You have no discipline."

"I'm being honest." His father said as he glared at his son. "She has to know you're very useless without her."

"Have mercy on him." Victoria chuckled and leaned to him, planting a small kiss on his cheek before redirecting her eyes to her Lilith. "He was just shocked I was gone." She said as she kissed Lilith's cheek, making her giggle.

"He's not lying. You can't leave me again." Derek whispered so his chattering father wouldn't hear and tease him about it later.

"You're just overreacting, you could easily move on." She whispered back and he frowned.

"I don't want to." He whispered back and she chuckled, bringing her hand up to his cheek.

"You're so clingy." She smiled and he shrugged his shoulders.

"If it bothers you just know I won't stop." He whispered back with a low chuckle.

"I don't like it when Derek whispers to someone. It's very nerving." Penelope commented as she handed a cookie down to her toddler, Autumn, who sat beside her quietly. "It's almost like he's trying to plot something."

"Why are you always trying to attack me?" Derek glared at Penelope who chuckled.

"Cookies!" Melody exclaimed as she clasped her hands together. "Let's eat!"
