Sold To The Wicked Him

“Mr. Menandro, this is the item that you asked us to buy”

Nodding his head he let those people know that it is fine if they all went back to what they are doing. Seeing the pile of boxes that was in front of him, Menandro can’t help but have a small smile on his lips.

Never once did he thought that the day would come where he would see little children walking and running around the house. The very child that have his blood. The children he can call his grandchild.

“I wonder of Lian and Lia would love this presents i prepared for them”

Mumbling, he may be older than Mr. Augustus but the fact still remains that Menandro is really fond in children. He just doesn’t know how to interact with them.

But even the head butler who have been with him and was his companion in the past years was aware of the fact that the guy he was serving do have a soft spot for Aiden, Lea, Lian, and Lia.

“They will surely love anything you give them, master”

Slightly bowing his head, Mr. Augustus can’t help but have a small smile. Still remembering that time when Lea and Aiden told them that they will be having children.

It was one of the things that we will never forget. For that very man was left speechless for hours. Not being able to speak any words at all.

“Alright, shall we head out and meet my precious grandchildren? Will they be surprise to see their grandfather? Hah, Augustus… I now felt hold old I really am ”

And with his wish, the car he would use for the travel was prepared. But little did they know, it wasn’t him who would surprise the two for the surprise back lash into them.

“What are you saying? They aren’t home?”

“Forgive us master but the sir and madame is out of town. Young master Lia wants to see the sunset in the beach. Since the sir and madame are free, they all went to see the sunset”

Closing his eyes, he didn’t think of that at all.

“Where are they?”

But no one can stop the old man to see his precious grandchildren. Anyone in the mansion knew how much he adore those two.

“Augustus” he called as soon as he thought of something he can do in order to see them.

“Prepare the helicopter right away”

“Yes, master”

Bowing his head, Augustus hid the smile he had on his face. His master is serious with his words. But he didn’t know that he would use a helicopter of all. After all, he hates the feeling of riding that plane. He always rants about how it is good for his old heart and just uses a car or airplane.

But the use of a helicopter would bring him much faster in his destination.

“I shall ask them to bring it right away”

Putting his hand on his palm, Menandro can’t help but be annoyed somehow

“Why didn’t they tell me sooner?”

Shaking his head, the servants remain silent. And in no time, his ride finally arrives

Somewhere where the people he was looking for is at…

“Lian, let us go there! Hurry!”

Smiling as she held the hand of her brother, they are twin and Lia is older than him in just minutes. Still, Lian acts more mature than Lia. Something that anyone can notice by just looking at the two.

One can say that among the twin, it was Lian who is much like Aiden when he was little. And Lea can’t tell whether she was that bright when she was just a child. But there is just one thing that she is sure of, no matter what it was, those two will always be and forever be their treasure. No one can erase that fact.

“Lia, don’t run. We might fall down if you don’t walk slowly-”

Just as what Lian was saying, his sister did trip and fall. Leaving him sigh a bit as he pull her up.

“See? I told you to slow down and you won’t listen”

Shaking his head, Lia just giggled and didn’t mind the fact that she falls down. After all, the wide smile of her face can never be erased.

“its fine, I am alright. See? I am as strong as daddy!”

“Don’t run… or else I will tell mom you are running”

Pouting her lips, Lia just tried to slow down her pace as she don’t want her mom to scold her. But soon as she saw a shell that looks so pretty, she can’t help but run in excitement.

“Lian! Lian! Look at this! Look, this is so pretty! Isn’t it?”

“Lia wai-”

And soon as he tried to reach her, a strong force of air started to blew some sand away. It was coming from a helicopter flying on top of them.

“What was that?!”

Lia shouted as she rush hugging Lian. Protecting him from the sand.

In no time, the scene started to calm down.

“Lia?? Lian?! Are you two alright??!”

They heard Lea shouted in worry as she rush hugging the two.

“Mom?”

The two asked and soon as they look at the large helicopter so far from where they are, Lea had a small sigh as she saw it was Menandro.

“Papa!” Lia’s eyes widened as she saw her hand. Holding nothing but sand and air.

“Where-”

Frown started to be visible in her face. Poor child, the beautiful shell she was holding was now gone.

“My Lia! My Lian!”

Shouting as he held his hands waiting for the two kid to hug him, Menandro was disappointed to see the two looking at the sand. Brushing their hand as they dig somewhere looking for something.

“Where is it…”

She mumbled in worrries as her eyes are almost crying. Even her head have trails of sand. Lian did not stop helping her sister look for the shell. That was the time Menandro knew what happened. It was his fault why that thing happened. After all, he didn’t know it wound be near where the kids was. All he wanted is to meet them as soon as possible as he missed them so much.

“Father…”

Aiden cough as he glare at his father. Lea on the other hand just pat her husband’s back to calm him down. After all, even if the relationship between Aiden and menadro are good this past years, one can say how much Aiden love his children.

Just by seeing them be worried like that, he can’t help but be mad at the very person who did that.

Even if it is Menandro.

But that case isn’t the same if it comes to lea. Since he will side her no matter what.

“Oh my, what have I’ve done?”

Menandro mumbled to himself as he tried to help them look at the shell that Lia was looking for. And in no time, Aiden called his child.

“Lia, is this what you are looking for?”

He mumbled smiling as he wipe the shell to slightly remove the sand that buried it.

“The beautiful shell!”

Lia shouted as she rush to where Aiden was.

“Thank you dada! Lia love you so much!”

She shouted hugging Aiden as he give her a pat on his head.

Menandro on the other hand stands up from the sand and was surprised to see Lian calling him.

“Papa”

“It is good to see you again, Lian”

He mumbled and get his hands to get his blessing. Menandro smiled and pat Lian’s head earing a small smile from the child.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Ah! Papa was here!”

Soon as Lia remembered the very person she saw just a while ago, Lia jumps out of Aiden’s leg as she rush towards the direction of where Menandro was.

“Papa!”

She greeted him with a warm smile as she hold the beautiful shell she had on her hands.

“It is good to see you too again, Lia”

Hesitating if he would pat her head, Menandro was worried that Lia would be mad at him for what he did. But instead of feeling angry about that thing, Menandro was surprised to see Lia showing him the beautiful shell that she lost just a while ago.

“Papa, look at this, lIa thinks it is beautiful. Isn’t it?”

Giggling as she slightly sways her dress, Menandro can’t help but think about how an angel landed before his eyes.

“Yes, indeed. Is was truly beautiful”

Worried about her hating him, he didn’t know that Lia would do that.

“But lia, are you not mad at papa?”

Curious on why she would be mad at him, Lia can’t understand his words

“Why would lia be mad at papa?”

She isn’t sure what was the reason for her to be mad at papa. All she know is that she love papa so much since papa loves Lia so much to. The same thing goes with lian. She can see how much Menandro love the two of them

“You are truly an angel… Lia”

“No, I am mom and dada’s little princess. And lian is our prince”

Smiling, she just enjoy the sight of the beautiful shell with fragments of bluish ores on it.

“Yes, yes, you are”

“Father, you should tell us why exactly are you here?”

Aiden greeted with a smile as he was fight in gaze with his father. After all, it was him who was his rival when it comes to the children. He just hates it when the two are closer with Menandro than him.

A childish side he had as a father.

“Now now, shall we head inside to change clothes? I already ask them to prepare some snacks. I think we should go”

Saving the scene as Lea hold the two kids side to side, Menandro and Aiden was left standing there as the see how the two happily walks with their mother

“You truly have a blessed family… Aiden. If Claudia was here-”

“I am sure mother would be happy to see this”

Completing the words his father was about to say, a small smile crept in menandro’s face.

“I am sure she would…”
