CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
“Ma’am, we’re already here.” The driver grabbed my attention when we reached the main door of the BCC ad. I think my thoughts went too deep.
“Just wait for me here,” I said then got out of the car. I have to talk to the team to finalize something. This month is my due and the baby will come out so I need to turn over the urgent work to them.
I went straight to the elevator to go up. When the elevator opened I was surprised when Wallace came out. What is he doing here?
“Hi,” we greeted at once.
“What are you doing here?” It’s not that I care but I’m still the CEO here even though I’m not attending so I have a reason to ask. I think. Goddamnit!
“Ah, I just went through something.”
“I see, gotta go.” I tried to calm myself and was about to enter the elevator when suddenly he spoke.
“It’s only two months and you will give birth.” He asked and looked at my tummy. “How are you? How’s your baby by the way?” he asked.
“She’s doing great inside. Naughty and sometimes and don’t let me sleep at night,” I said.
“Naughty, just like her mom,” he said.
“Pretty much, I guess she’s like more of her dad. His daddy also doesn’t let me sleep when we’re together.” Ow, fuck! Why did I say that? “I mean, my husband —– Cooper.” He just nods and looks unaffected. He doesn’t really care for me. The Wallace who was jealous and possessive is gone.
“Yeah, how’s Cooper by the way?”
“He’s doing well,”
“That’s good,” he replied simply.
“Anyway, I need to go, nice to see you.” He just gave me a smile so I entered the elevator. I am happy to see him. We often see each other because he is often in the mansion to talk with dad and sometimes he is also with Dylan. But the excitement I feel is still the same as the first I saw him.
I do not know. The martyr of my heart. Stupid because even though it hurts me to know that he has a child with someone else I still haven’t lost my love for him. He and he are still the ones I want to be with. He and he are still the ones I love.
Even though I knew it was really impossible for us to be I was still happy somehow because he left something for me. Ace is our baby. The memory of my love for him. But I’m also really afraid that when Wallace finds out that this is his daughter, he might criticize me, quarrel, and make me even worse because I kept it a secret which is really true.
***
I SLAPPED on my forehead when I got out of the parking lot and the driver called right away and told me he leave. Daze said there was an emergency and there was no one else to call dad called but him and he didn’t think I would come back right away. I said that I would go down immediately and he still left me and didn’t even inform me.
I picked up the cell phone to call Dylan when I heard someone speak from behind.
“Diana?” Oh, come on! What is this God?
“Ow, are you still here?” I ask.
“Yeah, I bought something outside and I left my car here first because there is no park there.” He looked around and then at me. “Where’s your driver?”
“He left because there was an emergency with Daze.”
“Ow, come, I’ll drop you home.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“No, I’m fine, I am ok. I can call a taxi.”
“I insist, I will go to your house too because Dylan is there.” What the FUCK? Fate is really fooling me. Destiny is really playing tricks on me and we always meet. “Diana?” I gasped some air and smiled then I nod.
“Is it ok?”
“Yeah, of course.”
“Okay.”
“Just stay here and I’ll take my car.” He left to get his car not far away. When he came down and then opened the door for me. He also helps me ride smoothly.
“Thanks.” He just smiled back and then got on board.
“Are you ok?” he asked.
“Yeah.”
“Want me to help you put on the seatbelt?”
“No, I’m good.” He started to drive and we did not talk. I touch my tummy because it looks like even my child is feeling what I can’t explain how I feel right now. I just caressed and caressed my stomach while I was looking outside.
“Are you ok, Diana?” he asked again so I turned on him. “You want me to turn off the aircon?”
“I’m ok, my daughter just kicked a little.”
“Ow, I see. Excited to meet her? ”
“Yeah, of course.”
“Me too, I am excited to see my baby.” He smiled in response.
