A couple of months later

"Alright kids, you go get on with your session now. I'll pick you up a couple of hours later," Keith said

"Sure dad. Oh and make that ummm... three hours?" said Deshawn.

"Better make it four," said Dequan.

Keith glanced back from the driver seat in surprise. "Four?" he asked. "Does it really take that long?"

The three black boys exchanged glances.

"Well... Isabella says there are loads to unpack..." Devonte said, winking at the other two as he said it.

Dequan and Deshawn snickered.

"Oh yeah... Absolutely loads!" Deshawn added.

Keith chuckled. "Well, I must say I'm absolutely proud of you boys for being so responsible about your mental health. I'll tell you what. How about we go look at cars tomorrow? It's about time you boys can get yourselves around without this old man hauling you around."

"Oh wow, really dad?" Dequan asked.

"That's awesome!" Devonte added.

"Thanks dad!" Deshawn said as he stepped out of the SUV.

The other two boys followed their brother out and shut the door.

Keith chuckled to himself. He couldn't believe how well the boys had taken to therapy. Before, they were so bitter about being **** to go to these sessions. Now they can't seem to wait to meet Isabella, particularly since they turned 18 a month ago.

Keith had been feeling a lot more at ease ever since the three boys started therapy. However there were still minor details about his daily life that bothered him.

For one, ever since Keith shared his concerns with his wife Diana about how he was uncomfortable with how their adopted sons were looking at her and their daughters, Diana seemed to have slightly switch up her fashion sense, now preferring shorter and tighter skirts and dresses that showed off her athletically sculpted butt and thighs and long sexy legs. She also started to favor blouses that showed off some cleavage.

Diana also seemed to be more playful and flirtatious with the three boys, and often liked to tease them.

Keith learned to let these observations slide, reasoning that he was overthinking things again. Besides, his wife had always been a charming and gregarious person with a playful personality. It was one of the reasons he had been immensely attracted to her.

Keith counted himself extraordinarily blessed to have such a gorgeous wife. At 38, Diana was an incredibly stunning and beautiful woman. She had light golden blonde hair and captivating electric blue eyes. Thanks to her age-defying genes, she was often mistaken for a woman in her 20s. Diana used to be a gymnast back in college and maintained an active lifestyle till this day. She enjoys working out, yoga, and dancing.

Keith and Diana were actually childhood sweethearts. He had accidentally gotten her pregnant in high school, but it all worked out in the end. He couldn't imagine anyone better as a soulmate.

Diana was also a strong willed and independent woman. While Keith runs his own business and makes more than enough to support his entire family, Diana insists on pursuing a career in law. She works as a lawyer at a prestigious law firm belonging to her father, Walter Carpenter. The firm had recently been renamed to 'Carpenter & Daughters' to reflect its future trajectory.

Keith himself had inherited his father's business when his father retired. Westlake Wealth is a very successful private wealth management company.

Besides Devonte, Deshawn, and Dequan, Keith had been blessed with many children with Diana. This was partly due to the fact that Diana had a disposition towards multiple births.

Jennifer and James were first twins and the eldest at 21 years old. Next were Amelia and Olivia, also twins, who were 19. The triplets, Emily, Chloe, and Ashley came next. They are 17 this year. Finally, there were Denise and Dylan, who were 15.

Including the adopted boys, the Westlakes had 12 children in total. They live together in a big 10 bedroom mansion. Having come from big families themselves, Keith and Diana didn't think it was too far from norm to have such a big family.

Having dropped off the boys for their therapy session, Keith started driving towards the office of his company. He stopped at a Starbucks drive through to get a coffee to fuel him for the rest of the day. He had just picked up his order and paid when his phone rang.

"Hello? Who is this?" Keith asked after putting the call on speaker.

"Mr. Westlake? This is Jessica Yang speaking," replied the caller.

"Who?" Keith asked.

"I'm the Principal of Hillcrest High. Your kids are enrolled here."

"Oh right. I'm sorry. How can I help you, Ms. Yang?"

"I was wondering if I may have a word with you, in private. It's about your boys. Dequan, Devonte, and Deshawn."

Keith's heart sank. "Are they in trouble?" He asked.

Jessica Yang could be heard taking a deep breath on the other end. "Let's just say they've been causing a mess. One that I much rather not be made public. Can we meet?"
