Isabella's breathing remained slow and steady, her body still in a deep sleep. Her face was relaxed and peaceful as she continued to nuzzle into the pillow.
Felix gently reached out and brushed a strand of hair away from her forehead. He couldn't help but admire how beautiful she looked even when sleeping.
Isabella shifted slightly in her sleep again, mumbling something incoherent under her breath.
Felix watched her for a moment, fascinated by how her expression changed with every movement. He couldn't believe he was seeing this side of his mother - so soft and vulnerable.
Isabella mumbled something again and rolled over onto her back. Her eyes fluttered open slightly, but she was still half-asleep.
She saw Felix sitting next to her on the bed and let out a soft sigh.
"Atticus...?" she mumbled sleepily.
As Felix gently stroked Isabella's hair, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of love and protectiveness for her. He had only met her a few times, but each encounter had left an indelible impression on him.
He couldn't believe that this woman who he had grown to adore was his biological mother. The thought filled him with a mixture of joy and disbelief.
"Oh Atticus silly boy go to sleep you can sleep on my bed if you wish."
"I'm not a child," Felix protested weakly, but his eyelids were already starting to droop.
He knew he was tired but he didn't want to admit it.
"Fine," he mumbled reluctantly.
"But just for a little while."
Isabella chuckled softly and patted the space next to her on the bed.
"Come here then, silly boy," she said.
"Lie down and get some rest."
Felix hesitated for a moment before reluctantly crawling into bed next to Isabella. He lay down on his side, facing her.
He couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed about the situation, but at the same time he felt comfortable and safe lying there next to her.
Isabella reached out and gently stroked his hair, her touch soft and soothing.
"There you go," she whispered.
"Close your eyes now."
Felix felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him as Isabella continued stroking his hair.
Felix let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes, feeling himself slowly drifting off to sleep. The sound of Isabella's steady breathing next to him was oddly comforting.
He snuggled closer to her, seeking the warmth and comfort of her presence.
Isabella who was unaware that her son Atticus was with Chozen while she was comfortably sleeping with her long missing son if she found out she be shocked beyond words. These kids were cunning and good at acting and there lies haven't court up to them yet.
The next morning, Isabella woke up feeling refreshed and well-rested. She stretched her arms above her head and let out a contented sigh.
She glanced over at the empty spot beside her in bed, wondering where son Atticus had gone off to so early in the morning.
Isabella sat up in bed and swung her legs over the side, feeling a slight sense of disappointment that Atticus wasn't there next to her.
She got up and stretched again, then headed towards the bathroom to freshen up.
As Isabella entered the bathroom, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and paused for a moment.
She looked different. Her face seemed softer and her eyes had a sparkle that wasn't there before. She couldn't help but wonder if it was because of Atticus.
Isabella splashed some water on her face and looked at herself in the mirror again. She noticed that there was a slight smile playing at the corners of her lips.
She couldn't help but feel happy, even though Atticus wasn't with her right now.
Isabella looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled. She had just woken up from a deep sleep, feeling refreshed and energized.
She splashed some water on her face to wake herself up fully and looked closely at her reflection. Her eyes were brighter than usual and there was a slight rosy glow to her cheeks.
She couldn't help but feel happy and at peace.
Isabella who was dressed she walked down the steps and she smiled at her kids who were eating breakfast she kissed each of them on the cheek. Felix who wasn't used to this kind of flinch but Isabella didn't seem notice.
"Mommy you seem happy," the twin girls said in union.
Isabella smiled at her daughters' observation.
"Of course I'm happy," she said.
"I have all of you."
She sat down at the table and took a sip of coffee. She looked up at Felix who was still sitting there quietly.
"And how are you this morning, Atticus?" she asked with a warm smile.
Felix, who was still not used to being called Atticus, flinched slightly at the sound of his fake name. He quickly composed himself and smiled back at Isabella.
"I'm fine," he said quietly.
He couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt as he looked at her kind smile. He knew that she had no idea about his true identity.
"I am going to a party on Saturday night I got you a nanny," Isabella said while she took a bite of her avocado toast.
The girls cheered excitedly at the mention of a party. They loved going to parties and socializing.
Felix, on the other hand, tensed up slightly at the news about a nanny coming to look after them. He didn't like strangers being around him.
"Pssst, what if we get court?" Felix whispered to Raven.
Raven looked at Felix with a knowing expression.
"Don't worry," she whispered back.
"We've got this."
She winked at him, trying to reassure her brother.
Felix let out a sigh and nodded, trying to appear confident. He knew that Raven was right - they had fooled everyone so far.
He took another bite of his pancakes and tried not to think too much about the upcoming party or the nanny situation.
Isabella smiled at Chloe's question and took a sip of her coffee.
"Well, I'm not sure yet," she said.
"I was thinking maybe something elegant and sophisticated."
She looked down at herself, imagining what kind of dress would look good on her.
The girls squealed with excitement at the thought of their mother dressing up in a fancy outfit.
Felix, on the other hand, felt a pang of jealousy. He wanted to see his mother all dressed up and looking beautiful but he couldn't help but feel slightly envious that she was going to be leaving them behind for the night.
Felix quickly composed himself and tried to hide his feelings.
"I'm not jealous," he muttered, looking down at his plate.
He felt a mix of emotions - jealousy, insecurity and fear. He didn't want any man getting too close to his mother.
Isabella smiled at him and reached over to pat his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Atticus," she said soothingly.
"I won't let any man get too close to me."
She glanced at the girls who were still chattering excitedly about the party.
Felix nodded, trying to ignore the pang of jealousy that was still there. He knew he had no right to feel possessive of his mother but he couldn't help it.
The girls were still talking about the party, their voices getting louder and more excited by the minute.
Isabella looked at them with a fond smile.
Isabella decided to go shopping for a dress alone it wasn't because she didn't have a beautiful dress it's just she wanted to try on some clothes as she looked around for clothes she felt a cold gaze she turned around and she saw Chozen two man and two woman.
Isabella's heart rate quickened as she saw Chozen and his entourage watching her. She could feel their gaze on her, cold and intense.
She tried to ignore them and continued browsing the racks of clothes, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that they were following her.
