My Ex Next Door

26 Chapter 26: Birthmark



When Ken touches the doorknob of the front door, his face flattened and turned to Daniella.


"Did you broke my doorknob" he sighed, the girl shook her head, "No, why would I?"


Ken narrowed his eyes, he might have left it unlocked.


"Look you can't blame me, you have a funny way to enter a house so-" his eyes widened to see the people in the living room sitting quietly.


"Uncle Ken!!!" the three tiny voice yelled and run to his direction.


"Triplets! What are you doing here?" he squatted and widened his arm, the three rushed to his direction and hug him.


Ken looked at Daniella, glaring at her, his lips parted to speak silently.


"What the hell is happening" he made sure the triplet doesn't hear him.


His sister was smiling from ear to ear, then she walks to the second bedroom and showed him the two luggage she had with her.


Ken stood up and carried Leo and Lexi in his arms while Ethan went back to the couch and focused on his tablet.


He was confused, happy and afraid, he likes the triplets but based on the two luggage, a thought came in his mind and he's not liking it.


"Leo, Lexi why don't you watch cartoons I need to talk to your mommy." the two kids nodded and sat next to Ethan.


Ken grabbed Daniella's arm and drag her to the kitchen, he pushed her body to the chair and walk back and forth while his arms were crossed.


"Daniella please don't tell me you're planning to leave Leo and Lexi here" his heart was pounding so hard, just a thought of taking care of the two kids is making his knee trembles.


"Why didn't you mentioned Ethan?" the girl had her face wrinkled, confused but Ken knows better that she's playing dumb.


"I know you, you will take the obedient kid and leave the hard-headed which is Leo and Lexi, please tell me I am wrong" he prays to God that his thought was wrong.


"You're wrong" his sister replied and stood up.


Ken opened his eyes and blow a sigh, relief flooded his heart.


"I am leaving the triplets in your care not only Leo and Lexi" Ken was stunned, unable to move his body while his sister went back to the living room.


He followed her, still shock.


Ken sat and watches them, Daniella squatted on the floor while the triplets are looking at their mother.


"Ok, babies, we all need to work together to survive, you understand me?" Daniella spoke, Ken parted his lips by her words, she talked as if they were going to war, but he decided not to interrupt.


The three nodded and smiled at the same time.


"So, what's our mission babies?" Daniella asked.


"Help Uncle Ken to get his fiancee back" Daniella smiled.


"Good, I will miss you all" The three leaned closer and hug their mommy, by watching it, Ken felt guilty, because of him, Daniella became busy that she didn't have time to take care of her kids.


He gulped and stood up, "Daniella, it's fine, I will take care of this and I will assign someone to look after the company and don't worry about my mom. I will talk to her" his eyebrow snapped when suddenly Daniella stood and drag him out of the house.


She closed the door and turned to him, her face was red, fuming.


"Hey! Ken Chu, I was only acting. Do you really think I sent them here to help you, I sent them here so I can have more time with my husband. You have no idea how much energy Evan is wasting running after those three that he was like a withered vegetable in the night. So you will look after the triplets until Novie decided to marry you" she spoke in a low voice, avoiding the triplets to hear it.


Ken stared at her, he could see the anger on her face.


"Are you looking after my company?" he asked, he never doubted Daniella's capability but after today he's afraid that she's not looking after it.


"I assigned someone to look after it" Daniella winked and that made his nose crinkled.


"By someone, you mean your husband right?" he asked, if Evan is looking after his company, he'll be glad, the woman shook her head.


"Peyton, she offered it but don't worry, I trained her" she proudly stated.


Ken parted his lips with shocked, Peyton is a Mafia boss and he knows that the woman doesn't have an idea how to operate a 'real' company.


"How did you train her? Does she even know what kind of company I have?" he was raging, he did everything to make sure that the company has a good reputation.


Daniella calmed him down by patting his shoulder.


"She honestly doesn't know what kind of products your company is producing, but I built a computer that can help her. The computer will check all the documents and Peyton only need to sign" Daniella replied while her eyes looked at the window, checking the triplet.


"So you trained her how to sign a paper?" he asked with sarcasm, the woman pouted and hit his chest.


"Yes, it was actually hard to forge your signature" Ken's eyes widened, "You've been forging my signature?"


Daniella nodded and showed her the screen of her phone.


"Yes, and she's been posting as Ken Chu. See her mask? I made it myself" she spoke in a proud voice while her eyes sway.


He narrowed his eyes and stared at it closer, she might have the same face as him but everyone can see that the fake Ken is smaller than him.


He sighed and shut his eyes, seems like his sister has been playing his company.


"Do you think my company is a game, Daniella? HUH!" he yelled at her, a vein popped in his neck out of anger.


"No Ken, your company is your least problem. Aside from your mom, you have the McSalter issue you need to deal with" Daniella's face turned serious, and that made him suspicious.


"What do you mean?" he asked and crossed his arm.


"The hexagon-shaped birthmark on Novie's right chest, I've seen it somewhere" Ken's body frost, he uncrossed his arms and seized her arms.


"How did you know about the mark? Novie never wore revealing clothes" Daniella slapped his hand away from her arm and glared at him.


"I saw you two making out when I checked your memory, I mean I didn't mean to peek but I need too and anyway Are you listening to me?" her nose crinkled with annoyance.


He exhaled and focused, "What about the mark? Where have you seen it?" he asked. Novie said that it's only a birthmark without a meaning.


"It's not a real birthmark. It's actually a scar anyway i need to dig deeper once i confirmed it. I will come and see you"
