Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy นิยาย บท 72

Gretel?

Lyla opened her eyes widely and felt unbelievable that Mark Pattinson was with Gretel?!

Could it be that he already knew the truth?

Lyla’s mind kept spinning. But very soon, she calmed herself down.

Judging from Mark Pattinson’s characters, if he were to find out about the truth, for sure he would not do what he was doing right now by bringing Gretel along to the hospital.

Gretel contacted Mark Pattinson before and Lyla also knew about it. And so, now Gretel went to look for Mark Pattinson again?

The possibility was up to ninety percent!

Thinking of this, Lyla was outraged and got irritated.

Gretel had gone too far!

A short meet up with Mark Pattinson was no big deal. But, showing up with him before the public was way too much. For sure the reporters and people who noticed her would dig out her background including family history.

Lyla felt unnerved.

This child had gone way too far.

She must have thought that she was a living doll!

At that moment, Lily sensed that she was not in the mood. She looked at her and asked, “What’s the matter, Lyla?”

“Huh?” Lyla glanced at her.

“Why are you looking agitated?” Lily asked.

Lyla shook her head guiltily. “Nothing!”

Lily had never met Hansel and Gretel. If only she had seen them, she would have understood why she felt so distressed.

“I wonder where did Mr. Pattinson find this girl from? She doesn’t even look like she’s ten years old. Could she be his illegitimate daughter?” Someone beside them made a guess.

“It’s possible. After all, no one knows much about the wealthy men stuff, it could be real!”

“Exactly. Kathleen Turner’s scandal has brought shame to Mr. Pattinson. In return, Mr. Pattinson brought a kid to her, it looks like they are going to call off their wedding soon!”

Lyla listened to them, not knowing how to reply.

Indeed, Gretel was Mark Pattinson’s daughter.

She could not deny that this was the fact.

At that moment, Lily looked at Lyla and asked, “What do you think about this incident?”

“How do I know!”

Lily narrowed her eyes and watched her closely. She sensed that Lyla was acting strangely. Otherwise, for sure she would have mocked him with that scene. Instead, she looked a bit nervous.

She shifted her gaze to the television screen, Mark Pattinson was holding Gretel and walked into the hospital. From the look behind, their silhouettes were pleasing to behold.

Nonetheless, Gretel’s smile gave the deepest impression.

“Why do I always think the young girl looks familiar?” Lily thought to herself. At that instant, she could not think of anyone in her mind yet.

Seeing her thinking hard, Lyla opened her mouth and said, “I go to the washroom for a while!” Before Lily managed to speak up, she had already turned herself and walked away.

It was hard to say, she might be able to see her through.

Looking at Lyla’s silhouette from behind, the crease between Lily’s eyebrows went deeper…

Inside the washroom, Lyla immediately gave Hansel a call.

The call was picked up very soon.

“Hansel, tell... me... what’s... going... on... now!” Lyla asked, enunciated each and every word clearly.

Hansel held his mobile phone further from his ear. “Mommy, what’s the matter?”

“What’s the matter? Don’t play dumb, you know what I’m talking about!” Lyla said.

The two siblings often behaved mysteriously. How could he not know about Gretel’s movement when in fact, he could be the mastermind behind her action.

Lyla had no doubt about that!

Hansel hesitated for a moment, then he opened his mouth and said, “Mommy, you leave us no choice!”

“What do you mean?!”

“Gretel and I are doing this for your own good!”

“For my own good?” Lyla frowned. “What do you mean by this?”

“Following the exposure of Kathleen Turner’s scandal, Daddy will surely put off their marriage. However, he is reluctant to show up yet. As such, Gretel and I are worried about him and Gretel decided to look for him, also to test his feelings for you. Who would have thought Daddy would bring her to the hospital and expose her in front of the reporters. This is an accident…” Hansel said.

Lyla was fuming but did not know how to reply to him.

She knew Hansel well. He was good at making fallacious reasoning.

“How many times do I have to repeat myself, both of us are impossible to get together!”

“Mommy, everything is possible!”

Lyla was speechless.

“Anyhow, if the incident is getting a snowball effect, I’ll bring you two back to America!” Lyla said.

This time, Hansel was utterly speechless.

“Mommy, don’t worry, nothing will happen!” Hansel guaranteed her.

“Are you sure?”

“You have my word!”

“Do you still have that thing with you?” Lyla was deeply infuriated, but still, she did not want to admit defeat in their argument.

Hansel said, “…Mommy, don’t be a worrywart. Nothing will happen for sure!”

Lyla was in a dilemma of whether to trust him or not. Nonetheless, Hansel had never failed to live up to his words, as such, she was more or less convinced by him.

“Anyway, I’ve said what I needed to say. Watch your actions!”

“All right, noted!”

Lyla hung up the phone.

Looking at herself in the mirror, how could she not feel worried about it.

What if Mark Pattinson knew the truth…

She was afraid of not knowing what he would do to it.
