I am sorry
“We need your help, Aunt Jessica….” Jayden said and Jessica raised her eyebrows wondering what they needed her help for.
“If you want me to keep an eye on Grandma, well, sorry I can’t. Besides she’s no longer here, Brandon had thrown her out of the house” Jessica said and the kids stared at her surprised.
They didn’t know Brandon had asked Grandma to leave. They wondered when this had happened.
They had seen Grandma Elizabeth with her luggage and they thought she was going on a travel trip, they didn’t know she was asked to leave.
They wondered why. They quickly shook off the thought, they were here for a reason, they would find out why Brandon had thrown Grandma out of the house later.
“We didn’t know she was asked to leave. Well, that’s not the reason we came here. We came for a different thing” Jayden said and Jessica, who was sitting on her bed, folded her hands against her chest, giving her full attention to the kids.
“We think Brandon is our Biological father,” Addison said and Jessica raised her eyebrows confused
“But we are not sure yet, or rather we might be wrong,” Jamie said
“But we want to do a DNA test, and we won’t be able to do it ourselves, ” Jaxon said.
“So? Do you expect me to do the DNA test for you guys? I’m no doctor, I have never worked in a hospital before” Jessica said and Jayden touched his forehead and sighed.
“No no, we just want you to take our hair samples and that of Brandon to the lab and do a DNA test, to confirm if he’s our father,” Jayden said and Jessica rolled her eyes
“What if he’s not your biological father?” Jessica asked
“Even though he’s not our Biological father at least he’s still our father, A win is a win,” Aubrey said with a smile on her face.
“Please just help us,” Jayden said and Jessica stared at them without saying a word.
“Please!!” The octuplets said at once as they pouted.
Damn! Jessica muttered, she just couldn’t ignore them, the kids were just too cute.
But at times she begins to wonder if they were adults in a kid’s body because the way they think and act is more than their age.
“Okay fine, I will help but on one condition,” Jessica said and the kids stared at her waiting for her to speak.
“You would delete the video of me and the butler kissing,” Jessica said and the octuplets stared at each other.
“Uhm, we do not have the video, we never had it from the start, we only tricked you into believing we had it,” Audrey said and Jessica stared at the kids speechlessly.
“What?? You guys tricked me ” Jessica said as her face turned red immediately.
“Oh no, this isn’t good, this is your fault, Audrey, you talk too much” Addison whispered
“What? I thought we were planning on telling her the truth and I just did” Aubrey said and Jayden whispered at once.
“Shut up you two, let’s run now!!” Jayden whispered and suddenly they all turned, opened the door, and ran out of Jessica’s room to their room.
“Phew! That was close” Jamie said as he sat on the bed.
“Do you think she’s still going to help us?” Jaxon asked
“She will, ” Jayden said in response.

**************
It was evening and Brandon had closed from the office, he had attended the meeting with the T – Brothers and then went straight to the mansion, while he asked Liam to go keep Rhoda company.
His car screeched to a halt in front of the mansion and he alighted the car.
He walked inside the mansion and everyone was so calm, unlike before the kids would be downstairs playing while Hannah would be sitting in the dining area.
Only the maids could be seen walking in the house, while they bowed their heads at Brandon.
Just then the Butler walked towards Brandon.
“Welcome sir,” Butler said and Brandon nodded in response.
“Thank you, Alexander. Where’s everyone?” Brandon asked as he stared around.
“They are all in their respective rooms,” Alexander said
“What about Elizabeth?” He asked
“She left already,” Alexander said and Brandon nodded.
“I want you to find out where she now stays and hire someone to keep an eye on her and tell me every one of her movements, ” Brandon said and Alexander nodded in response.
He walked past him and climbed upstairs to his study room where he pulled his jacket and kept it on his chair.
He decided to go check on the kids, he went to their room and opened the door, there he found out they were all asleep. It’s school week, he wasn’t surprised they had slept early.
He then decided to check on Hannah. He walked towards her door, wanted to open the door but he stopped himself.
He felt if he went in she would think he wants to apologize but he doesn’t want to, he would never apologize.
“Just go in and check on her,” his inner mind said and he sighed softly and finally he opened the door.
Immediately he opened the door, he saw the room empty, Hannah was nowhere in the room. He wondered where she had gone or did she leave her children behind and left.
No, she loves her kids so much, she would never leave without them, he wondered where she then went.
Just then the bathroom door opened and Hannah walked inside the room with a towel tied around her chest.
Brandon swallowed hard as he stared at the petite woman who was on a towel, her skin looking flawless and her long lush hair looking wet.
Her eyebrows and red lips were wet making her look so beautiful. He had swallowed into nothing a hundred times while staring at her.
Meanwhile, Hannah was busy struggling to dry her hair with the towel in her hands while she walked out of the bathroom.
She had barely noticed Brandon was in the room, when she finally raised her head, she saw Brandon who was lost staring at her.
At first, she was shocked.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“What are you staring at?” She yelled, jolting Brandon out of his wild thoughts.
Brandon blinked twice and then shook off whatever dirty thoughts were going through his mind.
“Why are you still staring at me, go out” Hannah yelled and Brandon scoffed.
“And why will I go out, what are you trying to hide? Are you, not my wife!” Brandon said and Hannah frowned.
Brandon stared at the petite woman in front of him. He wondered why she didn’t call the maid to come help her. Her other hands haven’t healed fully and she’s trying to do everything herself.
He sighed as he stared at her
He walked towards her and took the hand towel from her hands and helped her sit on the chair.
“What do you think you are doing? I said go out” Hannah said and Brandon paused.
“I do not wish to do this, but since you wouldn’t let the maid help you, I guess I will do it myself,” Brandon said
“I do not need your help, I can take care of myself. You should go back to your mistress,” Hannah said and Brandon sighed softly.
“Rhoda is not my mistress, and if it’s about what happened earlier today.
I promise I didn’t ask her to come over here. I was surprised she came here” Brandon paused and then took a deep breath before saying the word he didn’t want to say.
He didn’t feel like saying it, but he had no option but to say it.
“I am sorry,” Brandon said and Hannah paused at once.
Did she just hear the rude Brandon Colby say he was sorry and from the tune of his voice, he meant what he had said.
