My Ex Next Door

"Really?" Nathan glared at Daniella in anger, both hands were clenching in irritation.

"Brother, calm down that\'s my wife and we both know she loves playing with the elevator button" Evan stopped Nathan from going closer to his wife.

"Nate, I am giving you some time to think about your action. Not because Selena stay in Kirby\'s apartment doesn\'t mean they did something" Daniella explained.

"I mean Kirby is a gentleman, for sure he will not do anything to your grown-up, sexy, beautiful, mischievous daughter" Daniella continued which only made Nathan angrier.

Novie exploded when she saw Evan covering his wife\'s mouth to shut her up.

Novie was startled when Ken covered a hand on her eyes and twisted her body around to hug him.

"I don\'t want you to see this side of my family. I am afraid you will change your mind about marrying me when you realized how psychotic family is" Ken whispered.

When Ken saw Nathan and Daniella glaring at him, he buried his face on Novie\'s hair as if the other\'s didn\'t exist.

Kirby\'s flat was on the 30th floor. When the elevator stopped in the 20th floor and the door opened, everyone dropped their jaw to see the triplets waiting for the elevator with chocolates in their hands.

Evan stopped the elevator door from closing using a hand while Daniella took two steps towards the triplets, her eyes switched to the triplets\' hand holding the chocolate.

"So, babies which teeth shall I pull first?" Daniella spoke in a serious tone.

The triplets started panicking. Leo handed the chocolates he had in his hand to Ethan and ran to hug his mother\'s leg.

"Mommy, Ethan gave it to me. I was only following them" Leo snitches while tears are forming in his eyes.

From looking at Leo, Daniella turned to Ethan, "Do you have anything to say, honey?"

Ethan\'s hands started to shake and handed all the chocolates he had to Alexa and folded his hands together while his head lowered at the ground, feeling wrong.

"Alexa convinced me to buy these chocolates. She said if we just use the stairs we will burn all the calories" Ethan spoke and pointed a finger at Alexa.

Everyone eyes shifted to Alexa with six chocolates in her hand. "You\'re in a big trouble Alexandria Su" Daniella clicked her tongue while clenching her fist.

"Ok, Daniella. Go easy on her" Evan tried to stop his wife from scolding his daughter.

"Babe. Would you prefer me to pull your teeth?" she glared at Evan.

Evan cleared his throat and looked at his daughter in pity, "Honey, don\'t worry they are milk teeth. You will get a new one later, a stronger one" Evan spoke in guilt.

Both Novie and Ken were holding their laugh. Alexa\'s blushing cheek turned pale as her mother slowly walks toward her direction.

"Mommy, Uncle Ken gave us money to buy chocolates. You should blame him not me. We wouldn\'t have this chocolate if he didn\'t give us money" Alexa explained but her mother doesn\'t care anymore.

Alexa shut her eyes and her lips parted to say the information she can use to divert the situation.

"Kirby and Selena kissed last night and I heard them talking about pregnancy" when she opened her eyes. Her mother was looking at her with shock in her face.

(Am I save?) she asked herself.

"Damn that man! I am going to kill him" Nathan spoke in anger and rushed out of the elevator to take the stairs.

Ken and Evan tried to stop Nathan from leaving. Both of his hands were ready to throw a punch while his face turned tomato in anger.

"Let me go Ken, Evan. I will kill that man!" Nathan tried all of his energy to get off from their grip but they are too strong.

"Why don\'t we all calm down and let them explain it" Evan stated while holding on Nathan\'s arm.

"What calm down? What would you do if it\'s Alexa?" Nathan replied. At that moment, Evan suddenly released Nathan\'s arm and with less force, the man was able to remove Ken\'s hand from stopping him.

Ken shook his head and turned to Novie, "I tried to stop him but, you see Evan let him go first" he shrugged a shoulder and stood next to Novie.

When Novie looked at Daniella, the woman had her flat expression while looking at her husband.

"Evan. Stop your brother. Throwing a funeral is too expensive" As soon as Daniella said those words, Evan ran upstairs to follow his brother.

Novie looked around, The triplets were looking down while their mother was squatting on the floor in front of them and Peyton standing next to her.

"Are we going to leave now?" she whispered. Ken shook his head and bent closer to rustle in her ear.

"Nope, watch this. This is the most entertaining part of the day" Ken winked at her and smirked.

Novie rose an eyebrow and wait for Daniella to lecture her kids.

"Honey! There are some things that need to be kept hidden. You just throw Selena under the bus, do you know that?" Daniella spoke to Alexa in a soft tone while caressing her hair.

In the other side, Peyton walked to their direction. "Don\'t listen to her because she\'s worse than Alexa. She literally throws the people off the bridge," she whispered but, the quietness of the hallway made her voice to echo.

And with that, Daniella turned her back to face them with her eyes narrowed in annoyance.

"Hey! I apologize for pushing you off the bridge and I told you, I need to check the alibi of that handsome French guy" Daniella replied.

"Daniella, it was winter when you threw me off the bridge, and I almost broke my spine because the river was frozen and all because you wanted to check if that french hot guy alibi is valid" Peyton roared back at Daniella.

"Hey, at least you get to see his perfect tone body. It\'s very rare given their weather" Daniella replied.

"Wow! Do you mean his fake brown skin? If you just told me the plan you should have done it yourself" Peyton replied back in annoyance.

Daniella went silent, she bites on her lower lips and rolled her eyes.

"It\'s cold, I don\'t want to get sick" she excused.

Peyton let out a bitter laugh, "You know it\'s cold yet you still pushed me"

"I don\'t know how to swim!" Daniella shouted back, doesn\'t mind that her kids are watching.

In the other side, the triplets started taking their coins out of their pocket and circled around.

"I will bet on mommy" Leo spoke and handed the money to Ethan.

"I will bet on Aunt Peyton" Ethan took his money and mixed it with the money Leo gave. Then the two boys looked at Alexa.

"I will bet half of my money to mommy and half to Aunt Peyton," Alexa said that made her brother look at her with a blank face.

"Al, this I cheating and we don\'t cheat family member. So choose one" Leo spoke while scratching his hair.

"But, I don\'t want to lose my money" Alexa replied.

Both Ethan and Leo looked at each other and sighed in defeat.

"Fine," and they took her money.

Novie parted her lips in shock, she was not expecting Daniella\'s family to be this hilarious, and she can\'t wait to be part of it.

"So, now you have seen my family\'s true color. Do you still want to marry me?" Ken whispered after he noticed that Novie was watching Daniella and Peyton bickering.

Instead of replying, Novie wrapped both hands around Ken\'s neck and tiptoed to reach his face.

She plastered a sweet smile on her lips with her eyes glistened in excitement, "Honestly, I can\'t wait to be part of your crazy family" she giggled and moved closer to give him a kiss but, Daniella\'s hand came in between of their lips.

"No kiss in front of my kids"
