Chapter 38 MEMORIES

When Ellie finally gave me a chance to win her heart, I can’t explain how happy I am. Though I am bothered by the memories that I can’t remember since Ellie is part of the memories I lost, I’m still happy because now, I have a chance to make her mine completely.

I have been using the twins as an excuse to stay in her penthouse. We only agreed to let me stay with them for a year, but I keep on reasoning the twins the reason why she had no choice but to let me stay with them.

I love her. I don’t when I started to fall in love with her. Maybe when I first met her in the club, that’s why I let my guard down, or maybe I already love her when we were in college, I was just so stupid not to know it. But one thing is for sure, I am deeply and madly in love with her. She is the only girl I will love in my life.

I want to give Ellie a date that she will never forget, that’s why I brought out my special card, the twins. I ask for their help on the dinner date that I was planning for Ellie. I picked them up at their school.

“Daddy!” Amelia and Alistair are running towards me with huge smiles on their faces.

“I’m glad you are here to fetch us!” Amelia said then she gave me a sweet kiss.

I kissed her too. “Twins, where do you want to eat?” I asked them.

“Are we going to eat with Mommy?” Alistair asked.

I shake my head. “Is it okay kids not to invite your mom to our lunch today? I was planning to surprise your mom later and I need your help.”

Both of their eyes twinkled.

“I love surprises dad; we will definitely help you! Right, Ali?” Amelia said excitedly.

Alistair smiled and nodded.

We are now having our lunch, and I can’t tell them my plan yet because they are still busy eating their lunch. I’m pleased that the twins love to eat and are not picky with foods.

“Are you done eating twins? Can we start our meeting now?” I said to them when I saw that they were already done with their desserts.

Both of them nodded.

“We are ready to listen, dad. How can we help you with your surprise with mom?”

I told them my plan. Their eyes are twinkling as they listen to my plan.

“Is that mean that Mommy will finally have the same surname as us?” Amelia asks innocently.

“Do you want your mom to be Mrs. Penelope Quinn Escarrer?” I ask them.

The both of them nodded. “Yes, Daddy! All my classmate's mommy is the same surname as them. I want mom to also have the same surname as us.” Amelia said.

“I will do my best to win your mom’s heart. I also want your mom to carry our surname. I want her to be Mrs. Escarrer badly. That is why I need your help. We will team up to achieve our goal. Are you with me?”

They both nodded in agreement. “Let’s do this, Daddy!”

I asked Jace to prepare all the things we need for the surprise dinner. Jace also brought the waiter outfit I ask him to buy.

“Oh, my Daddy! I love this uniform! I look so cute in this!” Amelia said after she tries the outfit that Jace brought.

“I’m glad you like it, my princess. What about you Alistair?”

“I look good in everything dad,” Alistair said in a cocky tone.

I saw Amelia roll her eyes. “Oh, please Alistair! Don’t delude yourself that you are handsome because you are not!”

“I am! Mommy said I am handsome!”

“Mommy just said that because you are her child! She doesn’t want you to get hurt of the truth!”

I saw Alistair's eyes welled up. I just shook my head. Amelia always likes to make his brother cry. Alistair is brave to other kids but not with her twins.

“Amelia stop teasing your brother. He is handsome. I am saying this not because he is my son, but because he really is. We can go outside and ask random people about your brother’s look and I am sure that they will all agree with me, that Alistair is a handsome boy.” I said to stop them from fighting.

Amelia just pouted.

We are busy with our preparations when I received a text message from Ellie.

FROM: My Quinn

Hi Ulie, I will be kind of late, I need to meet someone. This will be quick, no need to tell the kids.

I guess we still have more time to prepare for the surprise. While the rest are busy decorating the living room and dining room, I went to the kitchen to cook our food for dinner. I also make food for

the kids. I will not be joining them to dinner because they will be our servers later.

I decided to have a quick shower because I smell like the food I cooked. I am done with the shower when I received a text message from Ellie, saying that she is on her way home. I hurriedly put on my clothes and fixed my hair and then I told everyone to be ready because Ellie is on her way here. I ask the guard to call us when Ellie arrived at the building of the condominium.

The surprise dinner date is a success. I am more than satisfied with the outcome of our surprise. I know that Ellie also loves me, and I understand why she is hesitant to accept me. It was all my fault. I can’t blame her for not trusting her heart to me again, because I was the one who broke her heart in the past.

After our dinner, Ellie and I help the kids to shower and prepare them to sleep.

The next morning, I decided to meet Quen. Though I already promised Ellie that I will not dig anymore about my past, still, I want to try. I know what she was afraid of. Now that I have her and the twins, there is no reason for me to kill myself.

“What brought you here?” Quen said in a cold voice when saw me entering his office.

I invited myself to seat on the chair in front of his office.

“Quen, I need your help. I know you are the only person who can help me.” I said in full humility.

He laughs aloud. “You? The ever-mighty Ulysses went to see me ask for my help?! Is the world ending now?”

I ignore his sarcastic remarks. I look at him intently. “I’m serious Quen, I need your help.”

He smirked. “Why me? Why not ask your new best friend for help?”

“Stop being a pussy Quen! Stop being jealous with Nick!” I hissed.

“Why will I be jealous of him?”

“Then stop acting like that and listen to me. I need your help Quen. I badly need it.”

He frowned. “What do you need from me?”

“Your memories. Our memories.”

He looks more confused. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“You know that there are parts of my memory that I can remember.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I saw him flinched. I knew it! He knew what I meant. He knew everything.

“I don’t think I can help you.” He said coldly.

“I know you well Quen, you knew something,” I said to him.

He cleared his throat then he sighed. “Fine. What exactly do you want to know?”

“My memories in college.” I simply said.

He averted my gazed. “College memories? We are not together on our college days. I studied in the States while studying here in the Philippines. I don’t think I can help you. I’m sorry.”

“We may not study in the same country but we always update each other, especially with the girl we like.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” He said instead.

I clenched my jaw. “I will stop beating around the bush. Penelope Quinn Cabello. We studied in the same university when I was in my first year of college. Who is she in my life at that time? Did I really hurt her like what she said?”

“I’m sorry Ulysses, I can’t tell you about that.”
