Chapter 179

But he had re-called what his grandfather said, they weren't the only bloodline remaining, so it could be his relatives.

But it was so weird, if both were his relatives why couldn't he perceive the scent from both women? Or was it that they both shared the same amount of scent? They were twins after all, the scent must have been coming from both of them

If they were his relatives it meant they weren't just ordinary people. What had happened to the first pregnant lady he had seen? 

"Are you both married to the same husband?" A woman finally asked the question that was on everybody's mind. Lylic and Selom were nice and Kind enough to move Phil away from the spotlight. This was the best they could do to keep him safe.

They were good when it came to handling the spotlight. They just saw the crowd at those noisy journalists. Ever since they started the show, they had their eyes on Roselle, she remained stuck to get a chair, eating her meal calmly, it was as if such an event wasn't happening at all. 'So much attitude'. They knew this was the question everybody wanted answers too. Sammy who was at the top floor was curious to know the answer as well. He found their story very interesting.

To Lylic and Selom, the more the suspense, the more money. So they took time, keeping quiet, keeping the crowd in suspense and just like that, money flowed in the air. Now it was time to unseal their mouths.

"When we were teenagers, we had plans of getting married to the same husband because we didn't believe there would be identical twins like us who were so connected to themselves" Lylic said sounding very depressed.

(Sigh) "Who can tell what fate holds? Who were we to know what Destiny had planned. Mother nature was indeed very secretive with her plans. We had bowed to get married to the same man, if we didn't find the identical twins we were looking for. But…. (Sigh, keeping the crowd in more suspense) We got married to identical twins that had the same connection like we do" Selom said

The whole crowd was shouting for joy, this was more exciting than they thought. They kept applauding and shouting in awe. Everyone present felt very happy, even Sammy himself couldn't stop clapping. They were married, this made more sense, since this was the case they couldn't be pregnant for his brother rather they were his relatives. Such wonderful events and turnouts. People gave out flowers, cards and most of all money.

 They wished them the best and even took a lot of pictures with them. They got the title 'The lucky charm twins'. Bases on Lylic's excuse, Nobody was worried about Phil, she had explained that only on one condition would they tell their story and that condition was that the leave her husband out of it, his twin brother was into military and if they took pictures of him, it would ruin his brother's career as a soldier.

And to their surprise, the crowd understood. "No wonder she is alone, her husband is there in the army protecting the country" the crowd said with admiration. They felt sad for her but they also felt so proud of her and her courage. Not every pregnant woman was so understanding. Since their husbands were identical twins, she wouldn't miss him much, she had her twin sister, her soon to be born child and also her brother-in-law who looks exactly like her husband. 

Selom couldn't help but blush at such a comment,she was already so lost in her acting that she was beginning to believe the story herself. How would they feel if she really told them her story of being pregnant? All the thoughts she read made her face heat up. She even got more gifts than expected because her so-called husband was away. Phil was far away from the crowd eating his meal, he found all this so Funny. A stranger he didn't even know presented him to the world as a man who had an identical twin brother who was in the military. What a shame! He knew why they had said so, they just wanted to give him a way out, so that no one would take pictures of him. And this feeling made him warm.

He couldn't believe it himself, he found such a story pleasing to his ears and he was already imagining himself as a caring father. 'Thank Goodness, the crowd has reduced '' He said with a sigh of relief. No matter how interesting their story was, everybody would eventually have to go back home. They wouldn't sleep at the restaurant would they?

 Even the manager of the restaurant was pleased, this was actually the first time he witnessed what was called real happiness and he was happy it happened at their restaurant. This was an event nobody would forget in a hurry. He also paid the twins a large sum of money as a way of appreciation and also took pictures with them. 

"Phil, come over here, they are all gone. Hope you had a nice dinner?" Lylice asked

"Yes I did" he said walking back to their table. Then he went to sit two tables away from them.

"Darling, we made a lot of money" Phil was surprised, he thought she was saying this to him but to his disappointment his supposed wife was talking to her twin sister.

Roselle on the other hand couldn't help but smirk, she never knew of the fact that Phil was married, it wasn't as if it bothered her but for the fact that Selom had match made them for each other made her feel betrayed but on a second thought, they had said their husbands were twins, could it be that this wasn't the Phil she knew? But if it wasn't then, the other Phil was married as well.
