Cinderella And Her Beautiful Octuplets

“Hello, children” Matthew muttered as he smiled at the octuplets who weren’t smiling at him in return. They had no expression on their faces and didn’t say a word to Matthew.

Matthew turned to Jessica who smiled and stepped forward.

“Uhm Matthew, these are Brandon’s kids,” Jessica said and Matthew mouthed a wow. He knew Brandon had kids from what Jessica had told him, what he didn’t know was that they were eight kids.

Those times he stayed at the mansion, he didn’t get the chance to meet them in person.

Matthew didn’t need anyone to tell him they were Brandon’s kids. They look so much like him.

“Yeah they look so cute,” Matthew said and Jessica smiled.

“And who are you?” Jayden questioned as he placed his hands in his pocket, giving him a cold look that was so cute.

“Uhm, I’m Matthew, your aunt’s boyfriend,” Matthew said and the kids stared at each other.

Jessica knew the kids so much and how tricky they can be, they will ask Matthew so many questions today if she doesn’t stop them. so, she turned to the kids.

“Now, get to your room, I need some privacy, ” Jessica said and the kids hummed before turning to leave.

“I’m I the only one who doesn’t like this Matthew guy!?” Allison said and Jessica opened her eyes wide and stared at Matthew who had also heard what the kids said.

“Me too, he looks suspicious,” Aubrey said and Jessica yelled and the kids turned to her.

“Can you guys just go to your room without saying a word?” Jessica said looking frustrated and the kids nodded before walking upstairs to their room.

She then turned to Matthew.

“I’m sorry about the kids,” Jessica said and managed to smile.

“Oh, it’s fine. They are just kids” Matthew said and Jessica nodded in response.

“I didn’t know you would be coming,” Jessica said and Matthew bent his head a bit and then raised his head.

“I told myself I wouldn’t be coming back too but I just couldn’t stop thinking about you after you stopped by my house earlier, and I…..” he paused and moved towards Jessica, then touched her face and wanted to kiss her.

Just as he was about to kiss her, the door burst open revealing Arianna, Brandon, and Hannah.

They all stared at Matthew, surprised to see him.

“Hey,” Matthew muttered and Hannah smiled at him. Brandon gave him one last glance before walking upstairs to his study room.

“Mom, are you alright? I’m so sorry about what happened” Jessica said as she pulled Arianna into a hug.

“I’m fine honey, I will go take my bath now and rest,” Arianna said as she pulled away from the hug, and with that, she walked away.

Hannah on the other hand smiled at them before walking away to Brandon’s study room.

“What happened?” Matthew asked, confused.

“You didn’t see the news?” Jessica asked as she made her way to the couch and sat on it.

“I don’t have a TV in my house,” Matthew said and Jessica muttered an oh. He was right, when she had gone to his apartment there was no TV there.

“My mom was arrested this morning and is being accused of killing my uncle Robert,” Jessica said sadly and Matthew stared at her without saying a word.

“My mom would never do such to anyone. I feel so much pity for her, she’s been through a lot already and now this” Jessica said as she remembered how her dad had tried to kill her mom before.

“She’s gonna be fine,” Matthew said as he sat beside Jessica and held her hands.

“I don’t want to lose her again, I just want us to be a happy family,” Jessica said and Matthew pulled her into a hug. She heaved a sigh of relief as she hugged him in return,

It was just what she needed, a hug. Matthew just came at the right time when she needed him the most.

Meanwhile, the moment Hannah entered Brandon’s study room, she met him standing by his table while staring at a picture in his hands.

She had noticed his mood since they left the station.

“Hey, are you alright?” Hannah asked as she moved towards him, took the picture from his hands and stared at it.

It was a picture of a young man who looked so much like Brandon.

“Who is he?” Hannah asked as she stared at the picture.

“Wilson Colby,” Brandon said and then sat on his chair. She wondered why he was staring at the picture.

“Your father?” Hannah asked and Brandon slammed his hands against his table and yelled.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“He’s not my father” he yelled and Hannah flinched as she saw the look on his face. His eyes became red and the vein in his forehead had popped out.

She moved back a bit as she stared at the man who was looking so furious. She’s never seen him this angry before.

The moment Brandon saw that Hannah moved from him a bit, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down a bit.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” he said calmly as he stared at the woman in front of him.

“You should leave,” he said as he looked away from Hannah, tears had gathered in his eyes.

“What’s the problem, Brandon?” Hannah asked and he turned to her and closed his eyes briefly pushing the tears back, then opened his eyes.

“He’s back, he’s back,” he said and she stared at him confused, wondering who was back.

“My Father, he’s back. He is the one who killed Robert and paid that woman to act as an eye witness and confess it was Arianna who killed Robert” he said and then took a bottle of wind that was on the table and threw it at the wall making it break into pieces.

Hannah swallowed into nothing and closed her eyes. When she heard no noise she opened her eyes and saw Brandon staring at her.

“You should leave Hannah, I wanna be alone,” he said calmly Hannah nodded and with that, she walked out of the room.
