‘Okay! So, who speaks less is Colton.’ Brandon concluded.
“Good Morning, Dad! Good Morning, Mom!!”
“Good morning, both of you.”
Sophia and Eden checked the time and left the chair to get ready for the office, and that was when Jake walked out of the room, rubbing his eyes.
“Is this the time to leave the bed?” Sophia asked strictly, and immediately Jake’s eyes widened in shock or fear. Not expecting to get scolded by the lady boss at nine in the morning. He looked around, and his eyes widened a little more when he saw Brandon sitting on the chair.
‘Since when he started waking up in the morning that too this early?’ He thought and clearly remembered that Brandon had a habit of leaving the bed around eleven or twelve. But just like the change in the country and change in the air, his boss was changing too.
“From tomorrow, if you won’t leave the bed before seven, then it won’t be good for you,” Sophia said, on which he nodded his head. “I have stuck Brandon’s timetable on the fridge; make sure he will follow it and if he will try to scare you, then let me know about it.”
“Okay, Ma’am.”

After breakfast, Brandon started feeling sleepy because of tiredness. All thanks to Sophia, she had included basic exercise for fifteen minutes and a walk for fifteen minutes. He felt like he would fall to the ground at any time, but Jake walked closely with him all the time, holding a water bottle and a towel. There was a time he used to jog for four to five kilometers daily.
While Bruce was busy with the work that Brandon had allotted to him. While kids were already informed that their dad needed at least a few months to finally fit
He walked into Sophia’s room to ask something about work and saw him sleeping peacefully, and his laptop was opened. He was going to work on gaming software on which he was working around five years back. But now, he had to upgrade a couple of things as per this era, but here he was sleeping, but Bruce was not mad at all.
Brandon was sleeping without the help of Alcohol was indeed a big deal. He covered his sleeping figure with the blanket and closed the laptop.
The moment he walked out of the room, he felt someone pulling his pants. He looked down and saw twins.
“Is dad sleeping?” One of them asked in a low tone.
“Yes”
“Can you play with us then?”
“Sure!!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
All of a sudden, one of them asked again, “Dad is thirty-five years old; what’s your age, Uncle Bruce?”
“I’m thirty-three.”
“You’re thirty-three, and you have no babies. Don’t you think you’re getting older? Soon, you will be counted in the list of an old man.” Bruce recognizes the kid asking this question could be no other than Colton. Only if he could tell him that he had been waiting and searching for his mate since the night, he shifted, but he couldn’t find it anywhere until now. Now even his hair started turning grey.
“Do you want to play with me or not?” Bruce asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Yes, we want to play,” Calvin said quickly.
Arya made them wear warm clothes as they were going outside, and after that, Bruce carried them in both his arms. The moment he entered the elevator, carrying the twins, he heard that word which he had wanted to for so long.
‘MATE.’
He quickly turned around and saw the woman with brown hair, olive skin, and Golden eyes, which quickly turned into hazel ones, which she had held a lot of anger for him. She was looking at the twins and the Bruce behind her anger; it was hurt, assuming that her mate was already married and had two babies with another woman.
“It’s not what you think.” he tried to explain, but that woman dashed out of the elevator not before saying ‘te odeio.’ Bruce wanted to go behind them to explain everything to her, but it didn’t look like she was in the mood to listen to anything.
But what did she say before leaving?
“Do you both know what did she say?”
“Yes, we know Portuguese,” Colton said.
“But I don’t understand why that aunty said, ‘I HATE YOU.'” Calvin wondered.

On the same day!!
In the night!!
*
A woman was checking all the important news of the day, and that was when her eyes landed on the news of the return of Business Tycoon Brandon Dennis Haysbert. A wide smile appeared on her lips when she read this.
‘Finally! Finally! Brandy decided to move on from the death of his wife and her child.’ She thought happily. ‘Now, I can have my chance with him.’
*
Five days had passed since Sophia announced in the board meeting that instead of Simon Grayson, a new investor, the President & CEO of Haysbert Corporation would be investing in her new project. So, whoever wanted to pull their shares out could freely do that as it would be their loss by doing so because the company had been growing for the past four years, and it would still grow further. In fact, the chances of growth would increase a little more when the toxic shareholders would be out.
With this, she also returned each and every single penny to Simon Grayson. And the fact that Sophia’s company was going to have such a big investment from one of the popular and half-century-old companies meant a lot to other shareholders. They could clearly see the growth of the tiny company that had formed around four years back.
From his own penthouse, Simon Grayson was reading the news of this investment, and he was pissed over this news. How the hell was this possible, and even if it was then, how could this news never reach my ear until now?
