A Mistaken Night With The CEO 69| Fiancè worry
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

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
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 76| The call
After dinner ended, Miranda gave her son his medicine, then took him to her room to rest. Once inside her bedroom, she got a phone call from Larry."Hello, Babe," Miranda answered Larry's call, just as she was sure that Oliver was sound asleep on the bed."Hi, sweetie. I just called to check up on you," Larry said, his voice sounding sultry."Thank you. I have given Oliver his medicine and he's sleeping now," Miranda said, and she heard Larry hum. "That's fine. So, what are you saying about us, babe? You know that I want us to start living together as husband and wife and not apart."Staring blankly at her television, which wasn't displaying any movie, Miranda replied, "That, I'm aware of. How about we go to see your parents next weekend in the city? I know I don't want to be in the city because of my baby daddy, but Oliver isn't happy with me and wants to meet his father."The phone call went silent for a while, and Larry asked, "Who's Oliver's father? Is he someone I'm aware of? Wha

Oliver wore a similar shirt design like Derrick's, along with black trousers and black shoes.They looked adorable as they walked into the big mall, browsing beautiful wedding dresses and accessories."Welcome, sir, madam. What would you like to purchase?" the sales assistant asked."Wedding gowns," Miranda said, and the young lady clad in a white top and black skirt showed Miranda the collection of wedding dresses they had."Wow, they're all pretty," Miranda smiled as she browsed through the long white gowns beautifully displayed on mannequins."Which do you prefer?" the young lady asked with a bright smile."All of them," she joked, and the sales representative laughed."Lovely!

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

When Derrick arrived in the city, he went home, getting the notification from Lady Stephanie that his mother was at home.As he arrived home, he walked into the house happily. "Mom!" 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.

Derrick's car arrived at a fancy restaurant, and they got out of the car and went into the Restaurant building together. Miranda was nervous to be in the same space as Derrick. 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!" Oliver let go of Derrick's hand and rushed to hug his mother, as he was also surprised to see Uncle Larry in his mother's house. Although Oliver knew they were friends, he didn't suspect anything bad."We are friends. So he came around to se

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
