Chapter 15

AELLE

It was a pleasant day in China, clear sky and bright sun. The cool breeze was calming, birds chirped happily nearby and everyone seem to be going about their business. Aelle smiled softly as she looked away from the window to check on the boys who were sleeping. Her gaze shifted to the front of the car where she was met with piercing stormy eyes on the review mirror, her breathe hitched, no matter how many times she has looked into those eyes, they always managed to captivate her. She sighed silently before looking away, she was hot all over now, although they were officially together, they still have not gone any further than make out sessions.

It was getting harder for the three of them to hold themselves back every time they did anything intimate. The sexual tension between them was too intense and if they kept ignoring it, they would eventually go crazy with need. It was getting really frustrating for Aelle and her insecurities were building up again. She kept thinking that they stopped themselves from taking her because they did not like her body or maybe because she was no longer pure. After all who would want someone who was tainted and used? Storm had been more silent than normal around her and whenever they kissed, she would make it brief. It was as if she did not even want to touch Aelle anymore and was just doing it out of pity.

As for Lee, he was barely over to meet the girl and when he did, his attention was mostly on the kids. Aelle could not help but wonder if she should really continue staying for them. If they did not want her anymore and only kept her because of pity, shouldn't she set them free? Sure it must also be because of the boys, those two loved the triplets like their own and that was one of the things Aelle never doubted. Now she had to talk to her lovers about her insecurities before taking any action, she had promised Storm that she will come to her if anything bothered her. By the time Aelle came out of her thoughts, the car was entering the gates of a magnificent mansion which had a breathtaking view surrounding it. Her breath hitched as she looked around in awe, the car came to a halt, Lee got down and opened the door for her while Storm got the boys out of their car seats. Aelle was given Grayson, Lee took Tristan while Storm held Christian and they all headed to the house.

" Welcome home, Young Master." The guards bowed in respect, Lee nodded as he entered the house with the two women.

Servants followed with their luggage," Where is everyone?" Lee asked one of the servants.

The girl bowed," Master Gu is at work, Mrs Gu went out with the young Miss for shopping."

" And my brothers?"

Before the maid got a chance to reply, two boys came bounding down the stairs. They seem to be fooling around with each other and hadn't noticed the guest. Lee shook his head and dismissed the maid while Aelle smiled at the teenagers' antics. " Gu Lin, you scoundrel!" The older one yelled as he chased after the said person who was laughing his lungs out.

" We share the same blood, Xichen so if I am a scoundrel, what does that make you?" The boy teased mischievously.

Xichen scowled," YOU..."

" Enough!" Lee yelled startling the two boys as well as the babies who stirred awake. Storm sighed and shook her head when the two boys stared at them in shock.

" Brother Liang, when did you get back?" Xichen asked as he rushed over to greet them.

Gu Lin stared at his big brother then the baby in his arms before shifting his gaze to the two women and he gasped when he saw Storm. " You found her." He whispered with tears brimming in his eyes.

Xichen looked at him in confusion," What are you babbling about now, idiot?"

Gu Lin only glared at him before pointing to Storm who was already looking at them. Gu Xichen's eyes widen when he saw her. Aelle frowned as she did not understand what was going on. The siblings rushed over to Storm and bowed to her with utmost respect and tears in their eyes. " Thank you so much for saving our older brother all those years ago." They both said at the same time and Aelle's eyes widen. She recalled Lee telling her about how Storm once saved him from being assassinated.

" Please get up." Storm said in a neutral tone," I was just there at the right time, your brother was not supposed to die that day so even if I was not there, someone else would have."

Aelle rolled her eyes at the words her lover spoke, Storm hated being praised or being in the spotlight so she had always downplayed all her achievements. " You don't have to be so humble about it,Storm. We all know that not everyone could risk their lives for a stranger." Aelle spoke softly and kissed the woman on the cheek.

" I agree with Aelle, Love." Lee said before turning to his brothers," I want you to meet my younger brothers, Gu Lin and Gu Xichen." He told the women who bowed to the boys in silent greeting, " Boys, these are your future sister-in-laws, Storm Rivera and Aelle Magnum. these three little ones are our kids."

The two teenagers beamed happily and bowed in respect. Aelle smiled as she knew that Lee's family was aware of the relationship between them. " We have nephews to spoil now, I bet I'll be their favorite uncle." Gu Lin boasted.

Gu Xichen scoffed at him before stealing Tristan from his Lee," We'll see about that." He said as he cooed at the baby in his arms.

Aelle giggled,"You don't need to fight over who they like most, they will love you all the same but when you happen to tease each other and need them to pick a side then there is one for each of you. Three younger siblings and three nephews so it's a fair fight." She informed with a smile and handed Grayson to Gu Lin who took him happily.

" You are right, Sister." A soft, cheerful voice said and they all turned to see a young, beautiful girl walking over to them. She bowed to them," Gu Qing greet sister Storm and sister Aelle."

Both Storm and Aelle bowed to her before Aelle hugged the girl. She was happy that she finally had people close to her age that she can be friends with since Storm and Lee are mostly busy. " I am happy to meet you all and I hope we can be friends."

The three siblings nodded with a smile, Gu Qing then hugged her older brother before taking Christian from Storm. Once the triplets were stolen from them, Lee took the women to freshen up and rest.
