Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 108

At 10 pm. Edward returned home to find the living room brightly lit, and Juana was busy in the kitchen.

Curious, Edward took off has coat and hung it on a rack before walking into the kitchen. “Mom, what are you doing?” he asked

Juana replied cheerfully. “I’m making some treats for Ruby. I’m planning to make some powdered milk cookies. She can have them as snacks when she wakes up tomorrow”

Edward, usually composed, almost couldn’t hold back his surprise. “Who did you say?”

Juana paused her hands, looked up with a smile, and said to her son, “You didn’t know? It’s Natalie’s twin children, the ones she brought to visit me this afternoon. They are so adorable. I wonder what children nowadays are eating. They are growing up so beautifully. Anyway, go to bed now. I’ll be done soon.”

Edward scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and prepared to go upstairs to find his sister. “Morn. I’ll go to bed first. Go to bed early after you’re done. Don’t stay up too late.”

Edward felt somewhat guilty as he watched his mother enthusiastically work in the kitchen. The siblings had kept their secret from their mother.

Edward felt Sherri was probably still awake, so he sent her a message at the door, saying, “Open the door.”

Within a minute, the door opened, and Sherri said, “Edward”

Edward glanced downstairs and sneakily entered the room. “Why didn’t you let me know before bringing Ruby home! Mom didn’t notice, right?”

Sherri replied with a hint of pride in her tone, “No, she didn’t notice. Your niece is clever. She knows how to make Mom happy. Besides, Ruby doesn’t look like me. Mom wouldn’t suspect anything.”

Edward seized on a crucial point. “So, do you know who the child’s father is?”

Caught off guard, Sherri panicked for a moment and almost slipped up “How would I know? Ruby doesn’t look like me, so she must resemble her dad. Who else could it be?”

Well, that logic was flawless, and Edward couldn’t argue with it. After all, the child didn’t look like an alien.

Edward suddenly made a threat. “You better not be lying to me.”

To cover up her unease, Sherri hurriedly urged her brother, “Oh, come on, go back to your room. Take a shower and go to sleep. I’m exhausted. And I have to wake up early for work tomorrow.”

After being pushed towards the door, Edward turned around and said, “Tomorrow, I’ll find a professional nanny for you The housemaids aren’t that skilled”

“Okay, okay, thank you.”
