Chapter 162 - Late

I was sitting up in bed when I heard the front door quietly opened and closed, and I turned the page of the book that I was reading awaiting for him to enter the bedroom.

He shortly after did, making sure to be quiet unaware that I was still awake and waiting until he turned around and saw me and he gasped, "oh God Atalia! Shit you scared me! What are you doing still up?"

He came over to where I was and tried to place a kiss on my lips, but I turned my head to the side, "I see you've found your way home. Can't say the same about the kids."

"The kids?" he asked confused then his eyes widened and his mouth opened, "oh mt God Atalia I am so sorry! I completely got side tracked honestly. It was my first day back and I had a lot to do, and I completely forgot."

"You completely forgot?" I asked softly then a lot louder the next time, "you completely forgot!? How can you just completely forget your kids!? They are your kids Shiwoo! Not somebody else. How can you completely forget to pick up your kids!? Does family mean anything to you? Did you even mean the words that you said about being the best father? Do you you even mean anything that you say ever?"

"Atalia please. I am sorry. Truly I-"

"Where were you?" I asked cutting him off and he paused at a loss for words, "you see Shiwoo I called your office and they said that you left from six pm. It is not nine pm. Where were you?"

"Atalia I was-I." he tried to say and I nodded closing my book and taking my glasses off, "Atalia please it's not what you think. Just let me-just let me explain please."

"Sure thing. You can explain an apologies to your kids in the morning. I hope you like the couch since you picked it out." I said giving him a stern smile as I threw the pillow and blanket at his face and he easily caught it sighing, giving me a pitiful sorry look, and I folded my arms as I leaned on one leg standing my ground, showing him that I did not feel sorry for him in the least bit and he quietly left and I turned the lock on the door.

Once I knew that he was far away enough from the door I broke down crying.

I knew that he was with her, and I did not want to know what they were doing, so I went to bed for I had work in the morning.

The next morning I woke up to the sound of the kids giggling and to the smell of breast fast so I opened my door and walked to the kitchen seeing Shiwoo and the twins making pancake.

They were oblivious to my presence for a few seconds until I cleared my throat and they all looked up.

"Mommy mommy look! We're making breakfast." said Adrian smiling brightly and I couldn't help, but smile back as I walked over to them.

"Oh really? What's on the menu?"

"Pancakes, orange juice, sausage, coffee, waffles and scnamaeble eggs." he said proudly and I chuckled at his pronunciation of 'scrambled eggs.'

"Mmmm sounds delicious. A western style breakfast. I will have everything that you are serving please." I said placing a kiss on the twins head and then went to have a seat at the dining table.

"Coming right up." said Adriel as they three things onto a plate and carefully brought it over.

They did spill a little, but it was fine.

"Mmmm so tasty." I said as I remove a strand of hair from my mouth that was in my pancake, and I removed a shell from my eggs, "this was the most most deliciousest breakfast I have ever tasted!

"Deliciousest is not a word." they giggled.

"Well that goes to show how awesome it tasted. Good job monsters!"

"Yay!" they said clapping and I smiled brightly at them before I locked eyes with Shiwoo and my smiled faded into a scowl and I decided that it was time to leave.

"Well mommy has to get to work. Come on monsters I'll get you ready."

"I can get them ready for you Atalia. It's no problem." offered Shiwoo and I rose a brow placing my hand on my hip.

"Oh you can now? Are you sure that you wont completely forget that they are in the tub?"

"Atalia please come." he begged and I sighed.

"Fine, but they better be ready by the time I am or else."

I walked away after giving him hard look up and down and he gulped.

I decided on doing everything this morning at a slower pace than I did every morning just to give him some time to get both of them ready for they were very frisky, and cheeky.

It would take him bout ten minutes to bathe them both, and about another fifteen to get them dressed, so I even shaved my already shaven legs to kill some time.

I was dressed and ready five minutes earlier than them so I just sat on my bed finishing a chapter of my book until I was sure that they were ready, then went out to where they were.

He was panting and sweating with his hair all tussled with them holding onto his hand, "see. All washed and dressed, and not a single thing forgotten."

I decided to test that for my self, "shampooed, blow dried, oiled, lotion, powdered, brush teeth, clip nails, brush hair, snacks packed?"

"Yup everything was done."

"Hmm" I said as I took their hands, "good. Let's go babies. Daddy made us late."

He sighed as we left saying that he loved us and I did not respond, neither did Adriel.

She still hadn't started calling 'dad' as yet so I make sure to call him that so that she will follow.

That is what my mother did with my oldest brother, and now he only calls him that and forgets his real name.

I dropped the kids off at their baby sitter, then went to work like I always did.

I was not going to let Shiwoo pick them up ever again, so I made sure to work through my lunch time to complete anything that I needed to, and I did so for the rest of the week.

He has been trying his hardest to suck up to us, but I was going to hold my ground to show him of how much of a consequences that his actions had, and he was never late to come home ever again.
