Planned Baby

Chapter 13 MEDIA LAUNCH

Ulie’s parents wanted us to live in Escarrer’s mansion, but I decline.

I already prepared everything for my twin's arrival in my penthouse.

I renovated one of the rooms in my penthouse three months ago and made it the twin’s nursery room.

I love plain, simple, and minimalist design. I made a neutral shared nursery room with white furniture, open shelving, a crystal chandelier, and pink and blue linens and toys.

I showed it to Ulie when he started to stay in my penthouse. He likes it, and we both decided to take care of the twins here in my penthouse.

Ulie requested to let him stay here in my penthouse for the first three months of the twins. He wanted to help me to take care of the twins. He wanted to stay for a year, but I told him that three months is enough.

Honestly, I can’t help myself but question his sincerity towards the twins. I can’t forget the conversation I heard from Nick and him.

From what I heard, it only shows that Ulie is responsible not because he was sincere with my twins but because he saw them as his way to get out of the engagement he has with Hadley Adelson.

Nonetheless, I will still give him his right to the twins as long as he will not hurt them. Also, I appreciate the love and care that his family is giving to my twins.

My twins and I are already discharged from the hospital, and we can go home now.

Ulie’s family and our friends surprise upon arrival in my penthouse. They did a welcome home Amelia and Alistair banner with balloons and prepared lunch.

They are all excited to hold the twins. I don't have the choice but to let them because I know after this small party, I can have my alone time with the twins.

I showed them the nursery room I prepared for the twins.

“Are you the one who design this?” Uncle Laertes asked.

I nodded. “Yes, uncle. I wanted to keep it simple as possible.”

“I like your design. It's much simpler compared to the nursery we prepared for them in the mansion. I like this more, to be honest.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

That made my heart flutter. I am happy that he liked it.

“Thank you, uncle, for the compliment. Well appreciated.” I said.

The twins were already asleep; we decided to have our lunch since they are sleeping.

“Your babies are beautiful. I can say that you guys are compatible. You got great genes.” Luna said in a teasing tone.

I just rolled my eyes.

Of course, we have great genes. That is one of the things I consider in choosing my twins' father.

“Luna is right. Are you sure you guys don't want to get married? You two look perfect!” Aunt Adelia commented.

If you only knew Auntie. Your son doesn't want to get married. Well, same for me. I am contented with my twins.

“It’s not part of the plan, Auntie. My twins are more than enough for me.” I politely answered her.

“But you can add that to your plan. I mean, you have a great relationship.” Auntie said, trying to convince me.

“We develop a great friendship. And I can’t ask for more.” I just said.

“Mom, stop pressuring Ellie. Let's just be thankful for having Amelia and Alistair with us.” Ulie butted in to help me.

I mouthed ‘thank you.’ to him.

He smiled and mouthed ‘welcome.’

***

LHI has approved the final design. I was working from home because I can’t leave the twins alone with their nanny.

It's not because I don't trust them. I just want to be a hands-on mom to my twins.

I am confident with my team, especially Luna.

Ulie, on the other hand, is working in the LHI office. Even though he also works at home, he can’t. LHI is busier now because of the resort project, especially now that they have the approved design.

Before we start the construction for LHI, they will first have a media launch for LHI Resorts. It's part of their marketing plan or strategy.

I will also attend the said media launch since I was the President and CEO of CIC. It will be a great deal for my company. I am excited about what’s awaits of this project for CIC.

The twins are with me, but we will not preset it during the launch because Escarrer wanted to have a separate party for them.

They want to announce them to the public. I can’t disagree with them because it is one of my children's rights as part of the Escarrer family.

“I prepared the rooms for the twins,” Ulie said.

I nodded at him and followed him in the elevator for VIP.

He instructed the nannies before we said goodbye to the twins.

“Mommy and Daddy need to attend the party. We'll pick you up later. Be a good baby girl and boy, okay? I love you, twins.” He said in a gentle voice.

I can see the love in his eyes. And I think that is more than enough.

“Let's go, Ellie?”

I nodded and kissed my babies goodbye.

The start event started with the usual opening remarks, production number to keep the event more entertaining.

Now, they presented the design we made for the LHI resort. In the short AVP, I gave them an idea of what to expect in LHI Resort. They’ve shown the LHI signature activities, the sceneries, the lobby, restaurant- it features Hearts Restaurant and rooms.

I can’t help but be proud of my company. Finally, we got to show people what we are capable of.

I have received an award before for being a young entrepreneur, but this one is different. It's like a confirmation of my capabilities as an architect.

The next segment will be a Q&A from the press. It was going well until one of the members of the media asked a question about the twins.

“Is it true that Mr. Kade Ulysses Escarrer is the father of your child?”
