Capítulo 896: Three words

Several minutes before…

Silence had reigned inside the twin's bedroom. The atmosphere remained warm and gentle, yet there was a heavy tension brimming in Alicia and Zeke's eyes as they gazed at each other without speaking.

Alicia's heart continued pounding hard and was unable to calm down. She could feel that he was going to say something that will definitely shock her entire being. She could not tell though, if it was to be either good news or bad.

"I think… I'll tuck Alice back into bed first. I don't want her waking up suddenly now that she is asleep." Alicia said in a low voice, tearing her gaze from Zeke and looking down at the little bundle of joy that was still sleeping peacefully in her arms.

Zeke nodded wordlessly and they both stood. He was careful and quiet as he assisted Alicia in tucking the baby back into her cot.
