Leap OF Fate

The weekend finally came. Vivienne instructed him to go to Lewis Tower. From there, he took the helicopter going to Pines City. He could not help but sneer. He and his team focused on the airport when she used a helicopter to shuttle to and from Hyacinth Bay.

Thinking alone that he’d see her and their children, he could not help but feel excited. The weekday felt like a drag for him. He wanted to fast forward the days, so it’ll be the weekend and he’d finally be able to spend time with Serene and the twins.

His heart thumped in his chest as soon as his foot touched Pines City ground. His palms felt sweaty and cold. The food park occupied part of the mall’s outdoor space. It’s composed of many stalls featuring various cuisines.

Vivienne welcomed him upon arrival. His eyes search the venue for Serene and the twins. Looks like they have not arrived yet. He looked at his watch. There’s still 20 minutes before the scheduled ceremony.

As a familiar figure in the business world, people from his circle approached him. They would either want to network, or suggest cooperation. At ordinary times, he’d brush off these attempts with a curt answer and a cold treatment, but not today. He entertained them.

“Daddy!” Felicity’s voice cut through the surrounding conversations. She ran up to him with a bright smile. He crouched down to meet her embrace. Soon as he caught her, he swung her around, making her squeal with laughter. She then gave his face kisses, smearing her saliva all over his face. But he did not mind.

“Miss me?” he asked her, flashing a rare smile.

“Yes!”

The jaws of those around him almost reached the ground as they watched their interaction. Daddy? Isn’t this girl the daughter of Serene Ellis? These were the questions that floated around the onlookers’ heads.

After a while, Pax hugged his leg.

“Dad! Carry!” he said, extending his arms to his father. Justin indulged his son and carried both children in each of his arms.
