My Ex Next Door-37 Chapter 36: Daddy’s little girl is crying

"Hi, I am Mila" Mila extended a hand, introducing herself to Evan.

"Evan Su" he accepted her hand while his expression can make anyone frost, but his coldness didn't break Mila's determination.

The two headed to the living area. The triplets are sitting and sharing their stories to Angelo and Mary, while Ken, Novie, and Brent are in the dining, discussing something.

"You can sit there" Mila spoke in a sweet sounding tone while pointing at the empty space. Evan sat down and his daughter Alexandria sat on his lap.

Mila overheard their conversation.

"Daddy, we are going to Uncle Angelo… no" suddenly Alexa stops and looked at Angelo.

"I think I should call him grandpa since Uncle Ken will be...-" Alexa was interrupted when she saw her father narrowing his eyes.

(This girl have a big mouth) Mila thought.

"Daddy I need a dress for Saturday party ok?" her round eyes blinked and even Mila was stunned by her cuteness.

"Sure" Evan replied and pinches Alexa's nose.

(!)

Mila's heart skips a beat after she saw the smile on Evan;s lips, the coldness of his face disappeared the moment he looked at his daughter.

She was deep in her thought, fantasizing Evan when she heard a voice from behind, making her skin shivered.

"Don't even think about it" she turned and saw Novie sending her a warning, Mila screwed up her face.

"Do you think his wife can share him with me?" Mila whispered, Novie move closer to her.

"I think she prepares to share her casket with you than her husband," Mila raised her brows and stared at Novie.

The smile Novie had on her lips means trouble, Mila sighed and walks to the dining.

"Where are you going?" Novie asked while following her.

"Since I can't get Evan Su, I will try my luck with Brent, our status are same so it should not be hard to get him" Mila replied and sat on the chair next to Brent, she put her folded hands on the table and stared at him.

"Brent, would you like to accompany me this Sunday? My friends are planning a beach party"

"No" Brent replied coldly.

"You sure? Ken will be there" Mila stated and looked at Ken, the man creased his brows in confusion.

"I don't think so" Ken replied. Mila clicked her tongue.

"Really? I thought Novie will bring you" Then she turned to Novie who had a flat face.

Novie knows that she was faking it, because there's no such thing as 'beach party' and 'friend' since Mila's only friend was Novie.

But Novie also wants to help her friend so she rides her tricks and said yes. With that, Ken agreed to come as well as Brent.

Mary appeared in the dining, "I need to cook. Mila, Novie, help me. The boys can wait in the living room" Mary pushed Brent and Ken out of the kitchen and turned to Novie and Mila.

Her eyes sparkled with happiness while her hand folded together, she snorted.

"Have you seen the triplets father, he's more handsome than Ken" Mary shriek, was like a teenager crushing on a guy.

Novie twitched her lips, disagree to her mother.

"I don't think so, Ken is still handsome" she replied,

Her mother took the spatula from the cabinet and hit her arm, "I know you'll say that."

Novie massages her arm, she didn't expect her mom to hit her.

–

In the living room.

"Give it to me Alex" Leo grunted while taking the phone from Alexa, but the girl is fighting back.

"This is daddy's phone, you have your own so give it to me" Alexa tried to pull the phone from Leo's hand but the boy was stronger than her.

The phone slip from her hand and her small body slumped on the floor, she looked at her father's direction with tears in her eyes.

Ken who was watching the triplets, shook his head, every time their father is around, the three are always fighting, mostly Leo and Alexa while Ethan is always beside his father, minding his own business.

Ken looked at Evan, he could see the line between his brows, fumed by Alexa and Leo's action.

"Leo, give it to your sister" Evan spoke in a cold voice, he was sitting with his leg crossed, watching the television.

"No," Leo protested and turned to Alexa, he stuck out his tongue, teasing her.

"Daddy's little girl is crying, hu hu hu" Leo spoke while jumping around Alexa who was sitting on the floor with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Ah!!!!" Alexa suddenly screamed, everyone covered their eyes by the deafening sound that bounced around the house.

Alexa's screamed only stops when Leo give the phone back to her, Leo had his small face scrunched up, defeated.

"Here, I was only teasing you" Leo spoke in a guilty tone.

In a heartbeat, Alexa's crying face lightened up, she took the phone and sat on her father's laps.

Leo's eyes widened in shock, he realized that Alexa has been manipulating him.

Leo was about to take the phone back when Ken carried him in his arm.

"Here Leo, you can have my phone" Ken took his phone out from his pocket and give it to him but Leo shook his head.

"I want daddy's phone because mommy has so many pictures and videos there, Can you get it for me, Uncle, please?" Leo put his hands together and blinked, and Ken finds it so hard to refuse his cuteness.

"I also have your mom's pictures in my phone" saying that, Ken unlocks his phone and went to the gallery.

Leo watches him, minutes later his small face went poker.

"Mommy only has one picture here, it's full of Aunt No--" Ken used the phone to cover his mouth and glared at him.

"Oops... sorry, I forgot" Leo whispered to him, Ken sighed. He's not afraid of Angelo knowing the truth but he prefers to tell Angelo himself.

"That's fine, do you want to look?" Ken asked. Leo pressed his lips together, bored.

"No, I only want to see my mommy" Leo replied and went to his father, he tried to sit on Evan's other lap, but Ethan pushed him away. When Leo shifted to Alexa the girl grabbed a pillow and use it to push him away.

The boy fell on the floor and somehow, Ken pitied him.

"Come here Leo" Evan stood up and carried Leo in his arm, the boy got up with a big smile in his face, while Ethan and Alexa's face were painted with jealousy.

"I will change their clothes and maybe call my wife. I will be back" Evan said to Angelo after the man asked if something was wrong.

Ken wanted to help Evan, but the man refused, before leaving, Evan whispered.

"I think, right now is the best time for you to talk to Novie's father before he finds out the truth" Ken looked at him, confused.

"Why? What truth?" He asked.

"Brent is one of Daniella's ex, so later once the two met, there will be chaos and you being Daniella's brother might affect his approval. So you better get it now than later"

Ken gasped, "Wait, does Daniella know she's about to meet of one her ex?"

Evan shook his head and smiled, "Nope, I told her I have a surprise for her. She doesn't remember him but I know Brent does" then Evan left the house with the triplets.

After Evan left, Ken's skin shivered, he doesn't know why but his heart was pounding so much as if something bad is about to happen.
