Everyone was happy when the twins finally got home. Lisa's mom apologized to the twins and the parents multiple times although Lisa already told her that it was over. It's probably going to take a long time until the woman forgives herself completely for being irresponsible at that moment.
About Hanbin, he's still nowhere to be found. They asked the old woman if she know where he went but she had no idea. The guy just dropped the sleeping twins off at the flower shop and gave her a number saying that it was Lisa Manoban's number and that she should call it because she's the children's guardian. Then he left instantly before the old woman could even ask anything.
They literally have no idea why Hanbin just left the twins like that but they are glad that he didn't seem to hurt them. They seem to be even more scared of getting scolded than what they have experienced. So, they're guessing that Hanbin didn't use violence against them. Only the twins could explain what happened but they haven't talked about it yet since they got home.
Jennie fed them and let them rest first because she didn't want to stress them. They'll just ask them later when they wake up. Although the kids seemed to be fine, Jennie and Lisa couldn't help but be scared that they might be traumatized.
"Should we let them undergo therapy?" Jennie asked Lisa while watching their babies sleep peacefully. Lisa shrugged her shoulders before saying, "I don't know but I think we should let a psychiatrist see them just to be sure."
For the nth time, Jennie sighed and buried her face into the crook of Lisa's neck. The latter rubbed her girlfriend's back soothingly and said, "They'll be fine, baby. Everything's going to be fine. The police are already doing everything to find Hanbin. He won't get the chance to get near you or our babies ever again. We'll make sure of that."
"Love, why do you think he left the twins there? I mean on the granny's flower shop? Why didn't he call us to tell us what he wants? I mean I'm glad that he didn't seem to hurt our babies but why did he go easy?" Jennie asked out of the blue. That question had been on her mind since the moment she found out where the twins are.
"You know I've been wondering about the same thing, my love. I really can't answer that but maybe his conscience worked on him. Besides, look at these angels, they're so adorable and innocent. He probably felt guilty which made him just give up on what he was planning to do," Lisa assumed. "Maybe, you're right."
"Baby, should we hire a bodyguard for them? I'm not anticipating something like that to happen again but I just want to make sure that they're safe and sound," Jennie suggested. Lisa kissed the top of her head before saying, "Love, when I didn't listen to you before, something bad happened. Now, I will agree with your idea."
Just a few minutes later, Aelia yawned and slowly opened her eyes. "Mama?" She called as soon as she opened her mouth. Jennie immediately held the kid's hand and said, "Hi baby, mama's just here. What's wrong?"
"Mama, in my dream dada and uncle Hanbin is fighting," Aelia answered, then she sat up on her bed.
"That is probably going to happen in real life," Lisa mumbled but the little girl heard it and said, "No dada, don't fight with uncle Hanbin. He is not that bad, dada. He is just sad because no one loves him."
"What? But he took you away from us. That was bad, baby. He should be punished. What did he do to you and Moon? Did he hurt you or say mean things to you?" Lisa replied.
"Uncle Hanbin didn't try to hurt us. Oh, he did push Moon but he said he didn't mean it. Other than that, nothing else. He also said mean things, dada but not about us, it's about you. He said that you are dumb and poor but that is not true," Aelia said. Lisa looked at her daughter confusedly.
"He's not even scary, dada. Uncle Hanbin is pathetic. He said that he just wanted to get revenge on mama because mama didn't like to marry him. Dada, I think uncle just wants attention. Didn't his parents love him enough?" The little girl said which made Lisa and Jennie gasp in astonishment.
Where did the kid even learn that word? They're not even four yet.
"What else did Uncle Hanbin, do?" Jennie asked. She swears that if he did something bad to the kids he'll not only rot in jail.
"Mama, he took us to the island." Lisa and Jennie looked at each other, both wondering what their daughter is talking about although they already have a hunch. "Which island is it, baby?" Jennie asked.
"The island with the cabin. Uncle Hanbin said it was where you made me and Moon!" She said giddily.
"Did he really have to tell them that?" Lisa mumbled. Jennie just giggled and said, "Really? We were just planning to take you there after you learn to swim" while she was stroking the girl's hair.
"Yes, mama. Mama, dada, Uncle Hanbin isn't actually that bad. He even taught us how to catch fish and we also made flower crowns," Aelia replied. Jennie and Lisa looked at each other once again. Doesn't it seem like deja vu? They used to do it before, years ago. Now, both of them are wondering why Hanbin didn't hurt the kids. Instead, he treated them well.
"Really, me and mama used to do it, too. I would catch fishes then mama would cook them because I used to be so bad at cooking. Then one time, when I was getting a trap, a crab pinch me and I yelled because it was so painful. Then your mama went running because she got so worried. I told her to help me so she went back to the cabin. Then she got a huge pair of scissors. And she was like 'What if we just cut your finger' and I was like 'No, please spare my finger'. She was just laughing but mama kissed away the pain. I love her for that," Lisa told their daughter as if she was telling the latter a fairytale story. She was even imitating the way they said it way back.
The little girl giggled. Obviously, she loves the story. Jennie was also smiling from ear to ear, reminiscing those good old days. Suddenly, they heard the other twin groan and stretch her little limbs. Then she said, "Mama, dada..."
"Hello baby, mama, dada, and Sun are here," Jennie said and she helped the kid sit on the bed.
"Moon, mama and dada are telling their story! It's way better than the way Uncle Hanbin said it. You should hear it too. Tell her dada," Aelia said to her sister who was still yawning.
And so, Lisa told the story once again and the girls listened to her attentively.
"And we also went to the flower field that you were talking about. Dada and I went on a picnic and we also made flower crowns for each other. It was a cute moment but unfortunately, we got caught up in the rain. So, we ran back to the cabin while we were so wet but we had so much fun. Such a good memory," Jennie continued.
"Aw, that was so sweet. Mama, I suddenly want to go back there but with the both of you. When we were there, even though Uncle Hanbin was a teenie bit of fun, we didn't enjoy it that much because you weren't there," Aelia said and she pouted. Luna nodded, agreeing with her sister. Then she said, "Right, Mama, let's go back there. Let's go picnic on the flowers, too."
Jennie look at Lisa before asking, "What do you say, love? Should we go there after we come back from Paris?"
"Dada, you have to agree."
"Say yes please, dada."
The girls said in unison, both doing puppy eyes. Who can say no to those cutie pies?
"Fine," Lisa said and sighed as if she was forced when in fact she also likes the idea. She can already imagine their girls running on the fields of chamomile with their little baskets. Then Jennie and her would make them flower crowns like they're the princesses that they are. Then they'll study french and when someone complains, they'll be given a longer duration to study as Jennie did to her before.
"Yey!" The girls exclaimed and they went jumping on the bed happily.
"Girls, careful," Jennie warned them because they might fall.
"Come on girls, let's get down. You talk and apologize to grandmommy because you made her so worried," Lisa said and opened her arms. The girls went to her and she carried them on each arm. "So cool, Superman," Jennie said, praising her partner.
Lisa just chuckled and they went down together. When they saw Lisa's mom, Lisa put the kids down and they went running to the woman.
"Grandmommy!" They exclaimed as they hug their grandmother. The woman wrapped them in her tight embrace. She couldn't help but feel emotional.
"I'm sorry, babies. Grandmommy should have watched over you better," she said and she kissed their foreheads.
"No grandmommy, me and Moon want to apologize to you because we didn't tell you that we were going to go with Uncle Hanbin," Aelia said apologetically. "Sorry grandmommy, we promise not to go with strangers ever again," said Luna.
"I'm so glad both of you are safe," Mrs. Manoban said before hugging the twins again.
"How are my girls? Can you hug granddaddy too?" Marco said with open arms. Then they immediately went to hug the big guy. Although, it wasn't that obvious, he was also worried sick and he tried to do everything he could just to help find the twins. They just love the girls so much. Something Jennie's parents probably doesn't how to do.
Jennie looked at Lisa. The she said, "They're lucky to have them as their grandparents." Lisa kissed Jennie's forehead after saying, "I know and they're also lucky to have you as their mom."
"And I'm so lucky to have you, I love you so much." She looked up to Lisa with puckered lips. Lisa smiled before she lean over and pressed hers.
They spent that day with Lisa's parents since Mrs. Manoban refused to go home yet. They ended up watching cartoons but none of the grown ups complained. Today, Aelia and Luna are the little bosses.
