Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 859

Kaye:

"He really is like you," Jenny said as she looked at my daughter, then at me.

The three girls had been so helpful, Lucy, Jenny, Sage. I thought Helanie was lucky to have found such friends. I hadn't had many. The ones I thought were my friends turned out to be the fucking rapists. And by that I mean my cousin.

I shook my head, trying to pull my focus back to the main thing, surviving the day. I had a clean pamper on my shoulder, another in my hand, and one balanced on my head.

I had asked the girls to let me handle the babies, and now I regretted it. It wasn't easy. These babies weren't toys. I could only imagine how women manage both babies and work. And by work I mean house chores too. That's the toughest job in the world.

The three sat in the corner, giggling and laughing whenever I messed up and had to call them for help. I guess it was also my way of trying to control the anxiety I felt about Helanie and what was happening in Emmet's dream world. I was really, really worried.

After a while, I finally finished. I grinned at the girls, reminding them, 'I'm not just some ordinary man. I can take care of my babies.'

If I had sisters, they would've been like these three. I mean, they were my students, but at that moment, honestly, I felt like a brother and they were my sisters. And we were this close to starting a fight.

"Yeah, you did an amazing job—getting our help so many times," Jenny teased, while Sage shot her a look.

Jenny was always a little outspoken. She got too comfortable too soon. I didn't mind. Like I said, they were my little sisters.

"Anyway, I'm done here," I announced.

As soon as I said it, the ground beneath me shook. I caught the looks on their faces too. Even they knew something wasn't right.

The three looked petrified. Even the babies started to wake up.

"You take care of them. I'll go outside and check what's going on," I said, rushing off the bed and grabbing the rest of the wipes to throw away.

As soon as I reached the window and dropped them in the trash can, my eyes landed on the view outside. I could see something in the distance, moving through the trees and coming toward us, toward the freaking mansion.

"What is it?" Sage asked, probably realizing I had noticed something.

I kept staring until I saw a hand reach over the trees and shove them aside.

"That is an ogre," I voiced.

As soon as I said that, I turned and watched Lucy's eyes widen.
