A Mistaken Night With The CEO 109| Returned home
Miranda sat in the back seat of the taxi alone as it drove toward the local town and out of the city center.Her phone buzzed with an incoming call, and she realized it was Larry."Hello, babe," Miranda said, and the taxi driver wasn't interested in who she was speaking to; he kept his focus on the road."Where are you now, babe? I'm done dressing up and coming over to pick you up. I’d like for us to hang out together and not let whatever my parents' said deter our relationship. We have been together for five years, and my family's opinion wouldn't affect how much I love you."Larry's words softened Miranda's heart, and she sighed again."I understand, Larry. But I have already gone home. Oliver refused to come with me, so I was left with no choice but to leave him behind with Derrick since my son wants to be with him so much."There was silence on the phone before Larry said, "Did you speak with Derrick about signing the child's custody agreement?""No. Although he doesn't want me to

It had not been easy for Miranda knowing that she had allowed Derrick to have their child. She really missed Oliver and longed to hear his voice.Once Miranda finished bathing in her room, she stepped out and had dinner with Emily before retiring to her room, feeling the urge to contact Derrick and find out how Oliver was doing.She picked up her phone and stared at the screen as she entered Derrick's page.She contemplated calling him to ask about her son, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.Meanwhile, Derrick was having a nice time with Oliver.

In Miranda's office, Larry looked irritated as he looked from Miranda to Derrick. Derrick entered the office wearing a black suit, and Oliver wore a similar design, looking radiant and smiling. "Mom!" Oliver exclaimed as he let go of Derrick's hand and ran up to hug his mother where she was seated on her office chair with a deep frown settled on her face. "Mommy!" Oliver exclaimed as he rushed to hug his mother, and Miranda hugged him too, as she felt the air in her office become tense. After hugging her son who climbed to sit on her thighs, Miranda asked him, "How have you been Oliver? I really missed you and not expecting to see you here today?" "Yes, Mom. Dad took me shopping yesterday after you left and bought me many clothes. Also, Daddy brought me to his office today, and we got to ride in Dad's car," Oliver looked so excited as he spoke about Derrick, and Miranda frowned. "That's good. Won't you see hello to uncle Larry?" Miranda said to Oliver, who smiled and greete

Miranda sighed after Larry left her office. She wondered what she was going to do now, and she couldn't believe that she wasn't brave enough to tell him that she doesn't like Derrick."What am I going to do now?" Miranda asked herself as she stood up and went to put her son to lay on his bed in her office.She paced up and down, thinking of how to make it clear to Derrick that she wasn't in love with him and he couldn't just show up on and off in her son's life, making Oliver cry because of him.Miranda was annoyed, and she stole a quick glance at her office clock. She saw that it was past 3 pm, and part of her wanted to go to Derrick's company branch, request to see him, and shout at him for making her son cry."If he doesn't care about Oliver's happiness, well I do," she was annoyed. But at the same time, she didn't want to leave her office and go to see Derrick alone. She was still afraid of him and his formidable presence that was still lingering around in her office.Miranda thou

However, as Miranda and her son walked out of her mall and towards the exit, she saw Derrick arrive in his car, and their eyes met."Mom, Dad is already here!" Oliver looked so excited, and he let go of Miranda's hand and rushed to wait for his father's car to park.Derrick sighed and got out of the car as he didn't want to leave Oliver behind, knowing that he hadn't been there for his son since he had been born and growing up as a baby. He didn't want to create a bad impression of himself before Oliver, and that was why he returned to pick his son.He saw Miranda standing there alone, her gown flowing and without Larry pestering her.Derrick got out of his car and walked ahead to meet them. His short black wavy hair flowed backward with the cool evening wind that blew on it. He looked breathtakingly handsome, catching the attention of some onlookers as he approached his happy son who had looked sad before."Daddy!" Oliver flew to hug Derrick happily, not minding the eyes that were st

Miranda knew that she couldn't tell Derrick about signing their child's custody agreement. It wasn't that she couldn't request it; she remembered his mother's words that her wish was for her to marry her son."What am I going to do now? I cannot break up with Larry," Miranda spoke to herself. Sighing, she got out of her car and went into her house to rest for the night.Emily was at home and knew that Oliver had gone to the city to bond with his father. Emily didn't ask Miranda about Oliver and only welcomed her Madam.Once Miranda was in her room, she took out her phone, feeling the urge to leave a message for Derrick. But she wasn't brave enough to do it. She tossed her phone on the bed and went to shower. After she got out of the bathroom, she wore a pristine white nightdress and then went out to grab something to eat from the kitchen.Meanwhile, Derrick went to see his mother alone, once he arrived home that evening and entered the house with Oliver. He told Oliver to play with R

Derrick rushed back downstairs and headed to his mother's room, as he heard the noise and the sound of cars driving out from their mansion."What happened?" he asked a maid, as it hadn't been long since he left his mother and went upstairs to freshen up."Madam isn't feeling too well, and Aunty Nicole has taken her to the hospital with the help of a guard," one of the maids replied to him."Hmm," Derrick frowned. He left the corridor of the right wing of the mansion and stepped into the living room where Oliver and Nicole's two kids were seated at the dining room table, having their dinners.The time was past 10 PM, and only Oliver was still there eating, as Frank and Rita had finished their meals."I will be back. You should keep an eye on the children," Derrick told one of the two nervous maids who had worried expressions on their faces. He swiftly went upstairs to his room, grabbed his phone, and went back downstairs, leaving the mansion and getting into his car.He had been trying

"Why did you end my phone call?" Derrick asked her, and Miranda rolled her eyes as she was nervous to speak with him online.It was her quest to know if he had a woman there with him. But he was alone, although the background didn't look like his bedroom. She was familiar with his room."Where are you? With your slut?" she texted him, and Derrick responded, "Your wish. I am at the hospital with my mother. She felt sick and hadn't been eating well. She got admitted today." He sent her a picture of his mother on the hospital bed, and Miranda's eyes welled up with tears."Is she getting better? I'm so sorry to hear that," she texted, not knowing exactly when she replied to him.Derrick sighed and told her, "My mother misses you.""Hmm," Miranda hummed, not knowing how she would tell Derrick that she wanted to go and see his mother. She would have loved to visit Lady Loretta. But how would Larry react?"Can you come to see her?" Derrick asked, although a part of him knew that Miranda woul

One week later, it was a bright, sunny Sunday, and Miranda with Oliver was set to travel to the city with Derrick. She had already packed most of her essentials and delivered them to the city. What was left for her was to carry her last box, filled with her clothes and also Oliver's clothes.Most of her cars had been sent to the city as well, but she didn't intend to sell her house or close down her shop. Getting married to CEO Derrick Luis didn't mean that she should discard all her hard work.The sound of a car honking at her gate disrupted her thoughts. Wearing a pink floral dress and plain black shoes, Miranda walked out of her house and approached the black gate to find out who was there.She planned to rent the house once she completely moved out and settled in the city. She had dismissed her gate man, but the estate gatekeeper was still present.Upon reaching the gate, she pulled it open after confirming who was there."Derrick," she smiled, opening the gate for his driver to e

THE NEXT SUNDAY MORNING..Derrick was in Miranda's room, and he spoke to her about her business."Babe, you know that as we're getting married, we will need to know more about our businesses. To follow me to my company and also, make our business jointly together," Derrick said. He lay on the bed, watching Miranda brushing her teeth, as he finished speaking to her about his father's company."That's nice. There's nothing much about mine. You know, I was thinking about it. I won't be able to keep in touch with them here if I go with you. So can we open another branch in the city, while we base there?" she asked him, as she finished brushing her teeth in the bathroom."That's fine. I haven't considered that before. But we need to expand our business to more states," Derrick said.Miranda smiled and joined him on the bed after she was through brushing her teeth. She hugged him and kissed him directly on his lips."Babe, I'm discussing with you about our business, and all your focus is on

"Welcome," Miranda told Derrick as she hugged and kissed him lightly on his lips."Welcome, Dad," Oliver said, and Derrick smiled at him. "Thank you."They entered the house together and made their way to the couch."What's the delicious smell? Is your chef around?" Derrick asked about Emily, and Miranda blushed."No, Emily isn't my chef but my friend. Her mother works for me though, so I took her like my sister," she said, leading Derrick to the dining table, and he smiled as he settled on a chair beside her.Oliver took his seat beside Derrick, and Miranda stood beside Derrick and set his meal in front of them. She walked up to meet Oliver and placed his meal in front of him before she went to sit across from Derrick."How do you see the meal? It's my first time officially cooking," she blushed, observing Derrick's and Oliver's faces as they prepared to taste the food."Um, it's yummy, Mom," Oliver beams and smiled."It's nice," Derrick commented, and Miranda smiled at them and resp

Derrick rushed to meet her and hugged her.Lady Loretta sat on the couch and smiled as Derrick hugged her warmly. She knew he was in a good mood and had heard he went to meet Miranda."Welcome back, Mom," Derrick said, and his mother replied calmly, "Thank you. You look so happy. How are Miranda and Oliver doing?""They are fine, Mom," Derrick said, still smiling, and that made his mother look relieved."I am happy to hear that. It's good to see that she has forgiven you. So when did you both plan to marry?" Lady Loretta asked."Soon," Derrick said, standing up from the couch. "I will propose to her, I have lovely plans for that. So don't worry."Lady Loretta smiled, looking at Derrick's handsome face. "Okay," she agreed."I have to go upstairs and freshen up. How is your health now, Mom?" He looked at hi

Once Derrick and Oliver were in the room."Would you like to bathe?" Derrick asked his son."No, Dad. I am tired," Oliver replied and went to his bed to sleep."How do you see my room, Dad?" Oliver asked as he went to climb on his bed happily."It's beautiful and handsome like you. A typical boy's room," he replied and saw his son smile."Mom helped me to furnish it and buys a lot of game toys for me," he said, grinning from cheek to cheek."That's so sweet of her. I am sorry that I wasn't there with you before. But I promise to set up a bigger room for you in the city, okay," Derrick said as he moved over to his son's bed to meet Oliver.Oliver sat up on the bed and took off his socks."Okay, Dad," he replied and went to lay on the bed and drift to sleep.Derrick looked around his son's room, feeling guilty for being absent in his son's life.

This was the first time that he was taking her out on a date.Derrick requested a private spot, and he was taken away with Miranda to the Restaurant's private section.Derrick could see that Miranda appeared nervous. He smiled at her and considered in his mind to get her a lovely wedding ring and to propose to her. But he wasn't confident to propose to her in a restaurant.Miranda sat down first, before Oliver and Derrick, as there were only three chairs surrounding a table where they sat."What would you like to have?" Derrick inquired. Miranda picked up the menu and replied, "Just chicken pepper soup is okay."She looked at her son and asked him, "What would you like to have, Oliver?""The same, Mom," Oliver smiled. He was happy that his parents were together."Okay, bring the same request for me too," Derric

Derrick looked from Miranda to Larry as Larry walked out of the house with a smirk."Good morning, Mr. Luis," Larry greeted Derrick, extending his hand for a handshake.Derrick looked at Larry's open right palm, not wanting to accept his hand. However, upon seeing Miranda looking at him, Derrick finally shook hands with Larry."You should consider yourself lucky that she chose you over me. Congratulations," Larry smirked and waved goodbye to Oliver.He walked away to his car while Derrick shifted his gaze and looked at Miranda.Miranda blushed as she watched Larry get into his car and drive off."What were you doing with him?" Derrick asked as he moved closer to meet Miranda by the door frame, just as Larry's car drove out of her residence."Mom!"

Derrick wasn't pleased that Miranda didn't respond to him after he had woken from his sleep and checked his phone for any possible missed calls. He decided to have his bath, bathe Oliver, and they dressed up in black suits, preparing to visit the local town. "Dad, where are we going to?" Oliver inquired as Derrick dressed him up in the room, combing his son's black hair. "We are going to see your Mom, and my company too," Derrick's reply was short, but Oliver giggled "Yay!" Oliver excitedly walked out from the room with Derrick, and they made their way downstairs. "Good morning, Aunt," Derrick greeted Lady Evelyn, who was around and wearing a white nightdress. She was a chubby woman and very tall in height. "Derrick, where are you and Oliver heading to? I almost forgot that you are controlling Dad's company. Because you're always at home," said Lady Evelyn. She sat on a chair at the dining table. Derrick smiled as he led Oliver to settle on their seat. "I just wanted to t
