Chapter 1122 - Happy birthday, Jeff (6) (2/2)

”And for the living arrangements…”, Sarah continued. ”Does it need to be outside of our property? Regardless of your age, due to the nature of our work, it is safer to stay close. Living in the city means thousands of potential eyes tracking your movements and it will be impossible to hide that you are associated with us. You know what we do and that you are exposing yourself to danger by having a routine which enemies can observe…”

After some more talk, Haru and Nala left Sarah and Aiden to come up with a solution, if possible. They agreed that staying on the property is much better, but they hope to get different living arrangements.

”Your thoughts?”, Aiden asked Sarah.

Sarah rubbed her temples while coming up with an answer.

”My thoughts are that it's too soon for them. But no matter how I feel about this, the fact is that Haru and Nala want to be together, and if we don't help them out they will either sneak around or leave on their own and expose themselves to danger.” Sarah paused while thinking about solutions. ”We have suites available for the other house staff, and two are currently not occupied. We can offer them to move into one temporarily. At the same time, we can build a guesthouse with several independent apartments, and when that is done, they can move there.”

Aiden agreed and glanced toward Ron and Zula. ”I have a feeling that in the near future we will have more couples which will request privacy.”

Ah, parenting is hard.

Sarah leaned onto Aiden and thought how when she accepted all these kids she assumed that they would study hard, go to college, stay in dorms and move on with their lives. She didn't expect that all of them would want to stay with them, and now even couples are forming. Sarah can imagine in few years several toddlers running around on their property! But even if she knew then that this will happen, she would not change a thing.

She is aware that the kids didn't grow up in normal families, and no matter how dangerous their situation is, the fact is that at the Cliffside villa kids are having a taste of stability and security which they crave for. A family. She likes that.

…

Elanor patted her chest dramatically while rushing toward Jeff and JoAnna who emerged on the deck.

Elanor pulled JoAnna into a hug, and Stella was right behind her, initiating a round of congratulations from everyone present.

Jeff stood by JoAnna and grinned while shaking hands and nodding.

The fact that he impregnated JoAnna with twins makes him elated.

Jeff remembered their talk from the bedroom downstairs:

”I am so potent that I make two babies in one go!”

JoAnna did her best not to laugh. It is his birthday and she knows that he is happy about the news. ”Yes, yes… you are the manliest man on Earth.”

”Of course! My seed quality is so good that there is a chance I just added a third one!”

JoAnna was unable to hold back and she laughed until her tummy ached. ”Please stop… you are killing me…”

He likes that he can make his wife laugh. She should laugh more often. Lately, all the things related to the White family are concerning both of them. Waiting for Marcus to strike is nerve-wracking no matter how many of his attacks they predicted.

Now he knows why last few weeks (or is it few months?) she is moody.

Jeff gave JoAnna a smacking kiss while ignoring people who were there to congratulate them. He thought how he never had a better birthday celebration. Ah, last year his parents hosted a huge party and introduced Isabella to him. If he was not adamant on following his (then) restless heart, he would be married to Isabella! Thinking about Isabella... Jeff wondered, where is she? She was present for lunch, but now he is not sure about her whereabouts.
