BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 - 111
Justin's eyes grew wider when he heard what Chester said.
Earlier before Justin went inside the apartment complex, the twins were looking outside from the balcony, waiting for their mommy to arrive.
The both of them got curious as they watched Justin embrace another man with so much affection. What's more, is that the man looked a lot like Chester, which Chesca really pointed out after seeing Tristan's face.
[A FEW MINUTES AGO.]
"Auntie Miemie, where's mommy?" Chesca asked as she pulled the hem of Jamie's shirt.
Jamie didn't know what she should tell the twins. They kept looking for Justin since last night, and she didn't have the heart to tell them a lie.
"Your mommy went to see a friend last night.. He will be home soon," Jamie said as she smiled at Chesca who was frowning at her.
"Then, why isn't he home? Who's going to bring us to school?" Chesca frowned even more.
Chester paid no attention to his twin who was going to act up again. He walked to the balcony to look down so he could see if someone walks into the building, waiting for Justin to arrive.
As he stood there alone, a cool-looking sports car suddenly appeared. The little boy's eyes sparkled as he watched the car park near the entrance of the apartment complex.
"Wow..." Chester said under his breath as he stared at the car with sparkling eyes filled with awe.
"That's so cool..." he whispered as he moved his face closer to the railings and stared at the car from the balcony.
After a few minutes, the door of the car that he has been staring at opened.
He found it even more amusing when the car door opened upwards instead of sideways. It was a very uncommon sight for a little boy his age. It was a car that he often sees on TV, but never in person.
The twins were never surrounded by filthy rich people, making it explainable why a sight like that was something very awesome to Chester.
Although he felt amused by what he saw, his eyebrows suddenly raised when he saw a familiar person hop out of the car. His awe was replaced with confusion and curiosity because even from above, he could tell the person who got out of the car was his mother.
"Chesca! Come, quick! Chesca!" He yelled repeatedly as he waited for Chesca. "Stop calling me!" Chesca yelled back as she walked towards her twin who didn't seem to have any plans of stopping from calling her name until she gets there.
"Isn't that mommy?" Chester said as he pointed below as another man got off the car.
"It's mommy! Yay!" Chesca squealed with glee as she hopped up and down. "Let's go to mommy!" she said as she grabbed Chester's hand and attempted to drag him so they could go down together.
Chester didn't budge one bit from where he stood and continued watching their mother and an unfamiliar man speak with each other. And after a few seconds, the man he's never seen before suddenly hugged Justin.
"Stop pulling my arm and come here," Chester said, still watching their mommy from the balcony. "What is it again?" Chesca frowned as she went back to the spot where she stood earlier.
"OMG! Is that mommy's friend?" Chesca asked as she covered her mouth with her hands as she watched them hug each other for quite a while.
"I don't know him. We know mommy's friends," Chester said as he looked at Chesca with a blank look on his face. "No, we don't! We just met Uncle Daryl and Uncle Xander. Maybe he's one of mommy's friends, too," Chesca said, insisting that the man who was hugging their mother was indeed one of Justin's friends.
Chester found Chesca's argument valid. He was slightly convinced, but he still wanted to watch the more.
The twins watched them until Justin and the man broke free from the hug. As soon as Chesca was able to take a look at the man's face, her eyes immediately widened. She looked at Chester and then the man with her mouth gaped open.
"Chester, that man is you," Chesca said as she hit her brother's arm lightly. "Me?" Chester said as he looked at Chesca weirdly and squinted his eyes to see the man's face better.
As soon as he was able to see the man's face, he then understood why his sister said that he's the man below.
They looked a lot like each other, making Chesca think that.
"You look like him," Chesca said, pointing at the man.
[BACK TO THE PRESENT TIME.]
"That friend from earlier. The one you were hugging. It's that friend, right?"
Justin didn't really know what to say, but the truth.
"Yes, baby. It's that friend," Justin said as he smiled at him. "Mommy, why does he look like Chester? Is he our uncle or our brother?" Chesca asked as she stood next to her twin.
Justin couldn't help but laugh when Chesca asked if Tristan was their brother. It was true that Chester and Tristan look alike, but he didn't think that she would think that Tristan is their sibling.
For a little girl asking that Justin found it cute yet funny at the same time.
"Chesca..." Chester looked at her with a disappointed look on his face, making the little girl confused.
"Sweeties... Mommy has to tell you something later. But for now, why don't we head to school, hmm?" Justin said while smiling at them as he raised his brows.
The three of them headed out with Chesca whining why their mommy wouldn't tell them right now.
Things finally got quiet when Justin dropped them off at school. He commuted to the company, and when he got there, another rumor started spreading again.
"Wasn't that demon late today?"
"He wasn't late, but the time he arrived wasn't 30 minutes early."
"That's what I meant. He arrives at exactly 8:30 a.m. every day."
"Is something wrong with him?"
"Are we having problems in the company? I don't want to lose my job yet."
Things got connected together when Justin found the root of the rumor that was spreading around. It was only because Tristan arrived later than usual, making him giggle softly because he knew that he was the reason why that happened.
'I wonder if he already ate breakfast...' Justin thought as he walked to the elevator.
He took his phone from his pocket to text Tristan, but before he could do that, he saw that his alpha sent some messages earlier.
From: Tristan
Darling, don't forget to eat breakfast and get to work safely. I love you ❤❤
From: Tristan
I forgot to tell you this, but would it be alright if we go get some coffee later during break time?
From: Tristan
Oh, also...
From: Tristan
I love you hehe ❤
Justin couldn't help but smile as he read Tristan's messages.
'He put hearts at the end. How cute,' Justin thought as he smiled.
He looked around to see if there was someone behind or near him that might see the messages. When he saw that there was no one, he started typing to reply to him.
To: Tristan
I haven't eaten breakfast because I didn't have much time earlier. What about you?
To: Tristan
Also, I don't think we can do that since we're at work right now. People might talk about us.
The alpha was already a hot topic to them right now. Not to mention, there were rumors about them being mates that started when Justin was in heat.
After about five seconds, Tristan responded to him right.
From: Tristan
Should I have the food delivered to you instead?
From: Tristan
Let them talk.
Justin looked around again and pursed his lips as he typed his reply.
To: Tristan
You don't have to buy me food. Also, you have an image to uphold, don't you? I'm your employee and you're my boss. Wouldn't that be bad?
Meanwhile, as Tristan read Justin's reply to his message, he couldn't help but pout his lips.
He wanted to show everyone that there was something between them so people wouldn't make a move on Justin. He wanted to show Justin off to everyone around, wanting to tell them that he's his omega. Unfortunately, he couldn't really do that because they work in the same company.
To: Justin
But I don't want to keep it a secret. My darling shouldn't be kept a secret. :(
He really meant what he replied to him.
He wanted to tell the world that Justin is his omega and tell them how lucky he is.
From: Justin
Let's just wait for the right time, hmm? I love you ❤
Even though he was just pouting a few seconds ago, a smile suddenly formed on his lips while reading Justin's text message.
He giggled as he mumbled, "He said I love you."
The people in the meeting room stared at Tristan with confused and surprised looks on their faces.
It was the first time Tristan showed so much emotion on his face in the years that they've known him. What's more, is that he was even texting while they're having a board meeting.
When Tristan noticed that everybody was staring at him, the room suddenly felt colder as he looked at them with cold eyes.
The stone-faced alpha lifted his head a little as he cleared his throat.
"What are you looking at? Keep the meeting going.
