Chapter 880 Where Is Daddy Part One
When Emma saw how determined Natalie was to make bagels for her kids, despite having flour on her cheeks, her impression of Natalie improved.
“Of course!”
“I’ll learn at the side, Emma.”
Having years of experience as a housekeeper, Emma was extremely skilled at cooking. While kneading the dough, she taught Natalie the authentic way to make bagels.
Under Emma’s guidance, Natalie started getting the hang of it and kneaded the dough into small little bagels.
When she placed the dough into the oven, she smiled in satisfaction.
“Thank you, Emma!”
“There’s no need to thank me. I’m only good at this. When it comes to computers and technology, I know nothing.” Emma felt embarrassed when Natalie kept thanking her.
“If you want to learn how to use computers, ask Xavian to teach you,” offered Natalie proudly. “He’s very good with computers and technology. If you ask him for help, he’ll settle everything for you. As for Clayton, Franklin, Sophia, and Yumi, they know a lot of things too. If you need any help, you can approach them.”
Emma had already been awed by how good-looking the kids were. Upon learning how skilled they were, she was stunned.
“Can I ask you something, Ms. Nichols?” asked Emma.
“Sure! You can ask me anything.” Natalie grinned. “I need your help to take care of the kids for a long time.”
“Well… Ms. Nichols, are all five kids yours?”
“No.” Natalie shook her head.
I knew it! The five kids look like they’re of the same age. They can’t be quintuplets, right?
“The quadruplets are mine,” replied Natalie seriously. “Yumi isn’t my child. Although we aren’t biologically related, I treat her like my daughter.”
“Quadruplets?” Emma was astonished. She actually had four kids at once!
“Yeah! Quadruplets. It was tough giving birth to them.”
While Natalie chatted with Emma, the bagels were done. The oven beeped, signalling that the timer was up.
“Ms. Nichols, our bagels are done! I’ll plate them while you wake the kids up, okay?” suggested Emma with a smile.
“Okay!”
When Natalie went upstairs, the five kids had already woken up and brushed their teeth.
“Good morning!”
When Natalie greeted the kids, they replied simultaneously, “Good morning, Mommy!”
“Emma and I made breakfast for you. Come down and eat!” Not showing any favoritism, Natalie stroked each of their heads.
“Okay!” The five kids followed her down the stairs.
When Emma saw all of them, she was once again shocked by how good-looking the family was. All the kids looked like angels—adorable and lively. No matter how much she looked at them, she would always be filled with happiness.
Now that she had seen the mother and the kids, she was curious about their father’s appearance.
“Good morning, Mrs. Bunton!”
Emma grinned widely when the kids greeted her.
“Morning!”
Emma placed the fragrant bagels in front of them. “Your mommy and I made the bagels together! They’re extremely fluffy. They’re still hot, so be careful when you eat them!”
It was the kids’ first time eating something that Natalie made. Delighted, they took a bite of the bagels.
Xavian and Clayton, who had been with Natalie for five years, knew how good her culinary skills were. Although they did not have high expectations for the bagels, their eyes lit up when they took a bite.
“It’s delicious, Mommy!” exclaimed Clayton, being tactful with his words.
“Mommy, this isn’t as horrible as what you used to cook!” Xavian spoke without any tact at all.
Indeed, Natalie propped her head up with an arm and gazed at him. “Xavian Nichols! Say that one more time!”
