C10 TWINS GENDER

Ulie’s parents will be here in the Philippines next month. He decided to tell them about my condition by then.

The idea of meeting his parents makes me nervous.

I don’t have any idea about Ulie’s fiance. I don't even know her name. I will be considered a rich person but compared to Ulie’s wealth. I am nothing. I am not sure if his parents will accept me.

I don't have any plan to marry their son. I think that's enough for me not to worry about his parents. I should be okay whether they will like me or not because no matter what they think of me or my situation, I will keep my twins.

Two weeks have passed when Ulie found out about my pregnancy.

I must commend him because I never expected that he would support me with my pregnancy.

Almost every day, he's in my penthouse to bring all my cravings. Even if it was already late, once I call him, he will be here to get what I told him to buy. He sometimes spends the night here.

So far, he's tolerable. I like our arrangement: no pressure, no expectation, it's all for our twins.

I was back from my deep thinking when I heard my phone ring.

"Hello?"

‘I'm already in the basement.’

"Okay. I'll be right there."

Ulie and I will go to my OB for a check-up. Today we will finally know the twin's gender. Speaking of twins, I haven't told him that we had twins.

When we arrive at the hospital, people keep staring at us. I don't know if those people knew us or they are just curious.

When we arrived at my OB’s clinic, my OB eyes widened upon seeing Ulie.

"Hi, I'm Kade Ulysses Escarrer. I'm the father of Penelope's child." He introduced himself in a formal tone.

I saw my OB blush as Ulie introduced himself.

I just shook my head. Ulie’s presence makes the girl giddy.

"Dra. Martha Allejo." She also introduced herself in a formal tone.

Dra. Allejo’s assistant guides me to the ultrasound area to check my twins' gender.

She made us hear the twins’ heartbeat again.

Until not, this pregnancy feels surreal. It hasn’t fully sunk yet that there are twins inside my tummy.

I look at Ulie, and I saw him smiling while listening to our twins’ heartbeat. It was his first time hearing it, and I can see myself in him when I heard it for the first time.

"Are you ready to know the gender of your twins?"

I saw Ulie’s forehead creased. "T-twins?"

Dr. Allejo nodded. "Yes, Mr. Escarrer, didn't Ms. Cabello tell you that you had twins?”

He then looked at me. "No. She hasn't told me yet."

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that we were having twins."

He just nodded, and he messed up my hair.

"It's okay, baby."

I felt blushed and kind of uncomfortable by what he said.

He's with his flirty mode again.

"We were ready to know our twins' gender Dra. Allejo." Ulie said.

The ob started to check the monitor. She moves the transducer tube to find the twins' gender.

"Your twins’ genders are a boy and a girl!"

My eyes widen. "Really?! Wow! Thank you, Lord!"

I can’t believe it. I am so happy right now. I wanted my twins' gender, a boy and a girl. I wanted a girl because I am sure that I will enjoy dressing her up like a doll. I also wanted a boy because I want him to inherit my company.

After our check-up, Ulie and I decided to have dinner first before we go home to celebrate.

"Now that we already know the gender of our twins. We need to prepare ourselves because my parents will be here in two weeks." Ulie said.

I just nodded at him. The truth is, I am not that excited to meet his parents.

"Also, I have already canceled the wedding. So don't be surprised if my parent's reaction when we meet them will not be that good.” He informed me.

I swallowed hard. I don't need them to like me, though, because I don't have plans on marrying their son.

"Ulie, I'm just curious. May I know the girl you are supposed to marry?" I finally asked.

I can’t help myself to ask him about the girl. I am so curious about the girl Ulie’s supposed to marry.

"She's Hadley Adelson. The only daughter of Simon and Lilah Adelson. The heiress of Adelson Hotels."

My eyes widen at his revelation. AGC owned more than 200 hotels in the USA. I heard that they are planning to expand their business in Asia, particularly here in the Philippines. They are like the Escarrer in America.

I completely understand why his parents will be in a bad mood because their son canceled his wedding.

"You look shocked." He said.

"Of course I am! They are Adelson! They are like the Escarrer in the USA!”

"So?" He reacts as it's not a big deal.

I can't believe him!

"You know you can still marry her. I mean, I will not chase you." I said, trying to convince him.

"Too late, baby. I have already canceled the wedding. Plus, we will have our twins. I don't want our children to be illegitimate. Once I marry her, our twins will become illegitimate. Do you want that?” He explained for me to understand.

That made me shut my mouth. "I don't want that."

"See? Stop thinking about her. Just focus on our twins."
