A Mistaken Night With The CEO 68| Mother's agreement
Derrick Luis arrived home late, fatigued, and he hadn't expected to see his mother waiting for him in the living room."Evening, mother," he greeted Lady Loretta, who smiled at him."Welcome home, Derrick. How was the company launch today? It has always been your father's dream to have his branch office in the local town's central district," Lady Loretta said. Though she was becoming older, she still had a retentive memory, recalling her late husband's wishes from a few years back."It was great, mom, and the area has developed quite a bit," Derrick said, remembering how busy and noisy the local town was, compared to the organized and quiet city center where the Luis Corporation headquarters was situated."That's fine. I've already had my dinner, as you know I don't eat late. I need to retire to my room and rest," Lady Loretta said as she carefully rose from her seat on the living couch.Derrick, looking stressed, didn't want to bother his mother with the topic of her considering his

When Miranda arrived home with her son, she drove into the compound and parked. Also, she thought to discuss with her son about having him accept Larry Harrison as his father.As she got out of the car, the security man at her home welcomed her once more, saying, "Welcome home, Madam.""Thank you," Miranda replied with a smile on her face. She went and assisted her son in getting out of the car before she locked up the car door properly.Emily Kingston, who was now living with Miranda, was on holiday from school, so she still stayed back at home with Miranda, whom she had adopted as her elder sister, instead of going home to her mother, Lady Blessing Kingston's house."Welcome, sis. Oliver," Emily greeted Miranda and her son as they had become acquainted."Thank you," Miranda replied, as she gave the bag she was holding to Emily to return it to the kitchen. She saw her son not wanting to greet Emily, and it reminded her of Derrick's behavior of ignoring his maids previously at the Lui
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 70| Son's request
Miranda couldn't lie to Larry, she told him, "I love you, and I don't have anything to do with my baby daddy again. He's not in love with me, neither did he wish to see me again. Back then, he paid me off never to show up in his life again, and I was left with no other option than to leave the city. So you shouldn't worry about him."Breathing out in relief, Larry said, "That's fine. I'm glad that he ended things with you. Coincidentally, if we see him again, we will pay him off and maybe ask him to sign a co-parenting agreement with you.""Okay, but I do not wish to see him again. He was an aloof and arrogant man, and I don't want him to influence my son's life.""Do not worry, you have me with you, okay. And I promise to be a good father for Oliver," Larry said.Just then, Miranda's room door unlocked, and Oliver entered the room. He had changed his clothes shortly after having his bath by himself, and he was wearing a white Pyjamas."Mom, dinner is ready," Oliver informed Miranda,

Friday arrived in a twinkling, and Derrick Luis prepared to leave for his company's local branch office at the town centre. He woke up in his bedroom and got dressed in a purple shirt and black suit. As he made his way downstairs, he discovered that the hacker had informed him that Miranda's chat messages were encrypted and couldn't be read.Derrick sighed and picked up his briefcase, ready to leave the house. He noticed that his mother was not in the living room, and a maid greeted him, saying, "Good morning, sir.""Morning, where is my mother? Is she awake?" Derrick asked the maid. She nod her head and replied, "Yes, sir. But Mother is not feeling too well today."Derrick frowned. He had already made arrangements to go to the local town, even though he didn't like it. He was doing it because it was his father's wish, and after visiting the rural areas, it wasn't as bad as he had imagined."That's fine. I will go see her now," Derrick said, heading to his mother's room. She was clear

It was Saturday morning, and Miranda woke up in her room with a slight headache. Her phone rang from beside her bed on the bedside drawer where she kept it. She reached for her phone and swiftly answered the incoming call."Hello, Babe," she said, her voice sounding sweet and soft as she had just woken up from her deep slumber."How are you doing this morning, babe?" came Larry's calm response. He was at home in his father's house in the local town where his paternal parents reside, and he wanted to introduce Miranda to them. It was a highly anticipated day for him, although he was nervous. Larry knew that Miranda had no family, and he wanted to make his intention to marry her known to his family."I'm fine, just feeling a bit nervous and cold," Miranda said, not wanting to leave the house as it was the weekend, a day she had planned to rest.Larry was a little displeased by Miranda's excuse, as he knew that she was trying to avoid seeing his family. She didn't like visiting his famil
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 73| Taken to the hospital
Oliver smiled sweetly when he saw his mother go into the bathroom to prepare his bath. He heard Larry's words about him, and while he didn't dislike Uncle Larry, he didn't want him as his father figure.In Oliver's mind, he believed that Uncle Larry was only pretending to like him now, before he married Miranda. He worried that once Larry married Miranda, he would take his mother's love away from him or make his life difficult.Oliver had seen other happy families during his school graduation, and he wanted a complete family too. He wanted to reach out to his father, even if it was just once, and be a part of his life.Oliver sat up on his bed, and Miranda came out of the bathroom to help him out of his pajamas. She didn't even ask if he could bathe himself, knowing that he had claimed to be sick. Miranda had to bathe her son like he was a toddler, and then she carried him out, wrapped him in a white towel, and helped him select his casual home wear.Later, they went to the dining tab
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 74 | Jealous son
Larry sighed and waited for Miranda and Oliver to come out of the clinic."Why would my mother reject Miranda now? No way. I love Miranda very much and I cannot give her up," Larry said, frowning as he waited for Miranda and Oliver to finish their medical checkup.In the hospital building, at the outpatient clinic, a nurse in a white uniform smiled adorably at Oliver as she checked his height and wrote down a few complaints from Miranda's report.Soon, they went into the doctor's office, and Miranda and Oliver settled into the guest seats while the doctor performed a series of tests on Oliver.Oliver knew he was fine, but he had to endure all the tests. Besides, it was no harm running a quick check-up on him as he didn’t want his mother to marry Uncle Larry."Ma'am, your son's medical test results are out, and he has only malaria and a fever, which I assume is due to the rainy season and bad weather. You should ensure his room is kept clean, and we have a hospital-recommended mosquito
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 75| A mother's promise
Miranda entered the living room and saw Emily step out of the kitchen to greet her, "Welcome.""Thank you. Where is Oliver?" Miranda asked as she walked to the nearest couch and sat down."He went to his room, Ma," Emily replied. She had heard the sound of the door opening before and had come out of the kitchen to see who it was. She saw Oliver enter the house, but he didn't look happy."Oliver didn't seem happy, Ma. How is his health? I hope it's not something serious?" Emily asked, showing her concern for the little boy she admired."No, it's just malaria. You should have his room treated once you're done preparing lunch. I will go and see him now," Miranda said as she rested on the couch for a while. Later, she rose and proceeded to her son's room to check on him."Oliver!" Miranda called her son's name, wondering what he was doing in his room."Mom," Oliver responded, aware that he had succeeded in ruining his mom's date but hadn't succeeded in preventing her from kissing Uncle La
