Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Her New Skill

Dolly pointed to the empty seat not far away, ”Auntie, you can sit there! My brother and I want to sit next to Daddy.”

”Of course.” Monica Usher quickly stood up, ”Sorry, Auntie wasn’t being considerate.” How could she compete with the children? Especially since Mrs. Kingston adored these two kids.

She had to love them too, after all, she would be their stepmother in the future.

Gigi greeted his sister, ”Dolly, come sit here, brother will hold you.”

Justin Kingston reached out to lift Dolly onto the chair.

”Thanks, Daddy.” The little girl wore a Lolita dress, looking particularly sweet.

Gigi sat down on the other side of Justin Kingston, and for Monica Usher, the atmosphere at lunch was not particularly pleasant because of the two children.

”Daddy, I want candy.” Dolly said in her baby voice, ”Could you buy some for us?”

Gigi interrupted, ”Daddy said he could pluck stars and moons for us, he surely will buy them, right? Daddy?”

Justin Kingston reached out to hug the children’s small shoulders, his voice deep like wine, ”What kind of candy would you like? Of course, Daddy will buy it.”

Then Gigi and Dolly made some requests and vividly described what they wanted.

Justin Kingston immediately dialed a number, ”Send some candy to Clearwater Bay, it must be pink, heart-shaped, a mixture of strawberry and chocolate flavor, wrapped in a layer of glutinous rice sugar.”

He was really patient and loving when it came to the children.

Watching this, Monica Usher couldn’t help but be envious and jealous.

Half an hour later—

Lunch was over, but Monica Usher ate as if she was chewing wax, because Justin Kingston hadn’t even bothered to glance at her.

She could even imagine the daily warmth and joy in Emerald Cove from before.

The car delivering candy drove into Clearwater Bay.

”Wow!!”

Justin Kingston happily walked out of the living room holding the children’s hands.

Monica Usher stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching enviously at the warm family scene, each second stirring her heart.

Though he hadn’t been around for six years, they still remained so close. That’s the so-called bond of blood, isn’t it?

Upstairs, in the pharmaceutical research lab.

Mia Lane, wearing a delicate black mask, heavily placed the vessel on the desk, startling Ian Shelby.

He turned to look at her, ”What’s wrong?” Sensing something was off, ”Are you jealous too?”

She took a deep breath!

Ian Shelby sighed, ”What are you all up to? You really should communicate well.”

”It takes forever for him to eat, can his messed-up stomach even handle food?!” she asked through gritted teeth.

Ian Shelby, however, noticed the vessel she had slammed down earlier, ”What’s in here?” He picked it up to take a look, it was clearly not for treating burns.

She didn’t answer, and started packing up the workspace.

”Is it for treating stomach issues?” Ian Shelby looked at her in surprise.

She avoided his gaze and acquiesced.

Ian Shelby chuckled, ”You’re amazing, still thinking of him in your spare time.”

”Isn’t there still two or three days left? The second bottle of medicine needs to be prepared before it can be used, I just don’t want to waste time. Don’t overthink it.”

Yet the truth, anyone with clear eyes could see.

”What are you two mumbling about?”

A low, magnetic male voice came from behind, startling Mia Lane, she didn’t turn around.

Justin Kingston walked toward her, turned around, and stopped beside her, leaning back just enough to see her face, ”The mask looks nice, what’s up with your voice? Could it be that you’re a voice actress?”

”Just a hobby, I like to play.” Mia Lane remained composed without turning away.

This sentence was in a male voice!!

It startled Ian Shelby, and even Justin Kingston was taken aback. This girl had skills, didn’t she?

”Mr. Kingston, please stay away from me, here I am Cora Yates.” Mia Lane lowered her voice, ”Don’t ruin my plan, I have ten days to make sure your mom is satisfied.”

”Keen on making money, huh.” He teased her, ”I thought you’d be coming alone? Didn’t expect you’d bring a disciple along.”

”Who cares who I bring? As long as it gets healed.”
