The Billionaire’s Twins Play Matchmaker – Chapter 20

Macey stared at her computer screen lost in thought. Since revealing the truth about Julius the kids went back to their usual activities. Aria was busy coloring and naming the subjects accordingly in different languages while Caden played piano. Neither seemed particularly shaken by the earth-shattering news their father was alive and well let alone had been spending time with them. It made Macey wonder if perhaps Augustus had already let that one slip.

She thought she should be mad at her father-in-law but perhaps it was the natural course of action. Julius was his son after all. In truth she wasn’t particularly bothered. She always intended to tell the twins about their father but could never find a good time. But now things were getting complicated.

Macey always assumed Julius moved on with his life after she left. She never expected him to confess to looking for her even after all their years apart. She definitely wasn’t expecting him to act so passionately. He seemed desperate to keep her at his side…or was that just her wishful thinking?

He worried there wouldn’t be enough wind but luckily the buildings around them seemed to channel it giving them an ample breeze to try and fly the newly made kite. It took several attempts running back and forth with the twins laughing at his antics. Jude nearly ran out of breath before he succeeded to the twins’ delight. They clapped excitedly when it finally stayed aloft.
