“She has a few years to live and she dedicated her time to taking care of the twins,” Gabriel continued, “Now she has two years left and the kids begged me to make her their mom for those two years left so she can die happily.”
I burst into laughter when he was done talking. Gabriel stared at me like I had just lost his senses.
“Your lies have gotten better over the years, Gabriel,” I said.
“It’s not a lie, Faye. It’s just two years,” he said.
I scoffed, “Two years and you'd finally get married to me, right?”
Gabriel sighed, “Yes, once the two years are over we’ll get married. I've already made all the arrangements.”
I stared at Gabriel, “What do you want me to do now?”
Gabriel smiled and kissed my cheeks, “This is why I love you. You're always so understanding. I want you to take care of the twins while I take Lily for her chemotherapy outside the country.”
I nodded and gave him a bright smile, “Alright.”
He kissed my forehead, “I’ll send Lily to come here. You can both apologize and make up.”
Then he turned to me immediately, “Also, I’m sorry about what the kids did. I'll make sure they apologize to you.”
I nodded and watched as he left. The moment he left, I wiped my cheeks and forehead.
