Chapter 5 Your Baby Is Leaving This Beautiful World " The kids will take care of you , hahaha ! " 53 % Finished " I know I should be scolding Rosalie , but her cracked expression ... I swear , every time I replay it , I laugh all over again ! " " So Rosalie really doesn't take care of her kids , huh ? From what the butler said , she's always been dramatic at home . And now , even on camera , she can't even pretend ? No wonder the twins still refuse to show up . Poor boys . " " Seriously , why would the producers hire Rosalie ? She's garbage , poisoning our screens ." " I'm not defending her , but if being this beautiful is called toxic , then Lord , please come poison me too . She's gorgeous - that must be why the benefactor's backing her ." " Don't let your morals be blinded by her face ! She's still trash . " At the top floor of Xavian Corp , the so - called " Benefactor " himself , Christopher Xavian , sat tall and rigid in his black suit . At six foot four , he was a towering figure . His face was sharp and dangerous - every feature cut with precision , his lips a slash of vivid color , his jawline like sculpted stone . His black eyes were fathomless , deep enough to drown . At this moment , those eyes were fixed on his phone . He was watching the livestream . No matter how he tried , he couldn't help but worry about his sons . Rosalie led the crew upstairs toward the children's room . Just as she reached the landing , a little head popped out of Christopher's study . Big , round eyes darted around warily . Rosalie quickly ducked back , leaving only the camera to capture the moment . Alex , seeing no one , turned and waved eagerly . " Holden , Mommy's not here . Come out ! " Holden , who had already learned from the livestream where Rosalie was , slid his phone into his pocket with calm resignation . His face remained expressionless as he followed his bumbling little brother toward the playroom . The contrast between the two boys sent the chat into hysterics . " Ding ! A tiny cutie spotted peeking around the corner ! " " Look at him sneaking like that too cute to handle ! " - " Holden , why are you so calm ? You and Alex are like ' No Brain ' and ' Grumpy ' - a perfect duo . " 17 1/3 TN O < 16:37 Wed , Sep 17 G Chapter 5 Your Baby Is Leaving This Beautiful World " I may hate Rosalie , but her kids ? Adorable . I want to steal them . " 53 % Finished " My friends , compared to the wholesome mother - son scene next door , I'm actually looking forward to Rosalie and her cubs . What's wrong with me ? " Suddenly , Rosalie jumped out from the corner . Alex nearly leapt out of his skin . A second later , he burst into loud , snotty sobs . Rosalie , flustered at first , couldn't help laughing when she saw the wobbling bubble of snot at his nose . " Pfft ! " That only made him cry harder . He darted behind Holden , hiccupping and sobbing , " Holden ! Mommy scared me ! And she laughed at me ! I'm so sad , so hurt , so heartbroken ! " Holden looked at his wailing brother , then at the woman clearly at a loss . He sighed , his tone sharp and firm . " Apologize to Alex . " Rosalie's eyes widened . " I'm your mommy ! " " So ? " Holden shot back . His little face was stern , his voice steady . " Mothers don't have to apologize when they're wrong ? " The tiny figure radiated authority , like a miniature CEO . Rosalie faltered , suddenly unsure . " Of course ... but I didn't do anything wrong . " She added quickly , " I was just teasing him . You two were hiding upstairs . And what's that in your hand ? " Holden tucked the photo album behind his back , his voice righteous . " You made him cry . That's wrong . Either apologize , or comfort him until he stops ." At those words , Alex wailed even louder . He wanted Mommy to comfort him . Rosalie's mouth twitched . " So if I apologize , he'll stop crying ? " Holden nodded . " If you apologize , I'll comfort him for you . " " Really ? " Rosalie's eyes brightened . Holden's face darkened . " No. " He turned to leave . Rosalie quickly stopped him . " Wait , wait , fine - I'll apologize , okay ? " She shot a glance at the camera , then leaned toward Holden's ear , whispering , " Baby , don't embarrass me in front of all these viewers . It's my first time being a mom . I don't know what I'm doing . Please , you and Alex . be patient with me . " Holden blinked at the mic pinned to her shirt . Did she forget she was still wired ? Or was she faking it ? 17 TN 111 2/3 16:37 Wed , Sep 17 G Chapter 5 Your Baby Is Leaving This Beautiful World But the moment she called him " baby , " his mind went blank . " Pfft ! Rosalie , you know you're mic'd , right ? Are you acting for us or what ? " " Why do I suddenly think she's .... kinda cute ? " 53 % Finished " No wonder she forced her way onto the show . She's just using the kids to wash her image . Disgusting old witch . Holden's eyes widened , stunned . A moment ago she'd been all stern authority , the next she was playful and soft . His small , serious face stayed taut , but his ears turned bright red . Behind his back , his fists clenched tight . He tried to resist the warmth spreading inside him , tried not to meet her eyes , tried not to admit he actually ... liked it . But he'd been tricked too many times . He reminded himself over and over : She's pretending . Don't believe her . The livestream audience , however , was already melting . " Ugh , the boys are too cute ! Especially Holden - serious little marshmallow , I can't take it ! " " Rosalie doesn't deserve kids like these . Who's with me to go steal them ? " " Wait , look at Alex in the background . He's about to unleash something - everyone clear the way ! " Alex's teary eyes darted between Rosalie and Holden whispering together . Then he erupted into sobs even louder than before . " Mommy ! You're whispering secrets with Holden and leaving me out ! Waaaah ! Why are you rejecting me ? I'm going to find Daddy ! Holden doesn't love me anymore ! I'm so sad - I don't want to live anymore ! " He cried harder , hiccupping . " Daddy , your baby - me - I'm about to leave this beautiful world . Don't miss me too much . And Monroe ... when I'm gone- " Christopher was speechless . 48 B Title: A Boyfriend on Loan, A Real Love on Way Author: CrushReels Genre: Romance, Modern Status: ongoing In "A Boyfriend on Loan, A Real Love on Way" by CrushReels, Felix Lloyd finds himself in a predicament as he seeks to pacify his family's marriage expectations by renting a girlfriend for the holiday season.
