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

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, what has gotten into you? Why would you phone Derrick?!" Miranda scolded her little son, who looked scared and scurried away from her reach."Mom, I just wanted to speak to my dad," the little boy said. Miranda glared at her son and shook her head."I already told you to behave yourself, and now you want to ruin everything for me. I'm not going to take you to your dad again; Uncle Oliver will be your dad!" Miranda declared as she quickly blocked Derrick's phone number to avoid any incoming calls from him.What if she hadn’t woken up? Was that how her son would have contacted Derrick on the phone? Miranda pondered as she saw Oliver's eyes welling up with tears.She would do anything for her son—except take him to Derrick. Earlier, she had considered going to see Lady Loretta, but now she doubted she could visit the Luis residence. She went to serve herself a meal as she was hungry, neglecting to comfort her sad son, who was sitting on the living room couch.When Miranda came o

Derrick walked back into the living room, and his sister asked him, "Who was that, Derrick? I saw a pretty lady at the gate when I arrived just now. Why didn't you let her inside?" Nicole inquired with a smile on her face, but Derrick shook his head in response."She's an unexpected guest, and I had already informed her not to visit here again." Nicole frowned, as she had been hoping to hear that the young lady was Derrick's girlfriend, but her brother brushed the topic aside."That's fine, only I thought she was your new girlfriend," Nicole said, even as Lady Loretta sat silently with them, listening to her children's conversation."No, Nicole. Don’t pretend you don’t know that Mom doesn’t want me to marry anyone but Miranda. I must find Miranda and bring her back, and that’s the reason for my singleness now," Derrick said, walking up to the exquisite dining table to take his seat. Nicole smiled at her handsome younger brother and asked him, "So, you're not the one who invited her? Y

Erica looked at her mother in disbelief and sighed. She wasn't even supportive of her brother dating Miranda. Wanting to go into her room to rest because Erica was in no mood to discuss Larry, she agreed with her mother, "Fine, Mother. I will talk to Larry about his affair with Miranda, but obviously not today. I'm stressed."Mrs. Harrison looked at her first daughter as Erica walked away, and she didn't bother to ask Erica what the problem was. What was more important to her was for Erica to talk some sense into Larry's mind.Meanwhile, Miranda finished having dinner with her son, and they sat on the couch watching a movie in the living room. While Miranda's son fell asleep, she thought about the possibility of facing Derrick and presenting Oliver to him."How am I going to do this? Larry has also advised me to present Oliver to Derrick. What if Derrick harms my son? Is it better not to tell him about Oliver?" Miranda pondered as she watched her son sleeping. She made sure not to lea
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 80| His agreement
"No way. Just my assistant alone. I'm not interested in them, as it's a futile relationship and not leading anywhere. How's Mom doing?" Derrick asked as he met his mother's gaze."I'm fine, Derrick. So you will be going to the local town tomorrow. I would have loved to accompany you to see how the town looks," Lady Loretta said, and Derrick smiled."It's a lively environment, Mom. Quite noisier than here. I can't believe the area, but it is what it is," Derrick replied, "Underdeveloped.""Hmm," Lady Loretta agreed, recalling it was her husband's wish. "You should take videos of the area. I would like to see it, even if I cannot go there with you now," Lady Loretta said, and Derrick nodded."I have some photos, Mom, but I will get video recordings of the area for you. The actual property I wanted to buy at first— I saw a mall was built there, along with a bank and more. A market is across from my company." Derrick took out his phone as he explained the area to his mother.Lady Loretta
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 81| The surprise
Miranda awoke in her bedroom, and it dawned on her that it was her birthday. She usually celebrated her birthday every year on July 1st. Although she wasn't certain of her exact birth date, she noted that Lady Loretta always celebrated it for her.If only her mother were present, she could have asked her about her real date of birth. As Miranda got out of bed, she went to prepare her son's bath, seeing that he was still asleep. The weather was cold due to the heavy rain that had fallen the previous night, so Miranda prepared a hot bath for Oliver. Once she had finished, she woke him up and assisted him with his bath before dressing him in a blue top and black trousers. She also put a blue sweater on him to keep him warm. As she set out her own outfit—a pink suit she wanted to wear to the mall—she noticed that Oliver wasn't feeling well and was running a fever, so she didn't want to take him to school. Besides, she knew he had already completed his exams and the school was yet to begin
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 82| Her promise
Larry was glad that Miranda had finally agreed to go with him to the city. However, he felt restless, not wanting Miranda and Derrick to cross paths again, as it irritated him to know that Derrick Luis was Oliver's father."Babe, I know that you do not want to admit it to me, but Oliver is Derrick's son, right? He looks just like his father. Now I see why he's so smart and behaves like an adult despite being a five-year-old boy," Larry commented, and Miranda wanted to flee from his embrace.Not so fast; Larry grasped Miranda closely by her waist, and she tried to lie to him, her face flushed red while her lips quivered, struggling to tell him the truth."I..." Miranda couldn’t speak. She couldn’t look up at Larry's face, knowing that he had discovered the truth by himself."I'm sorry," Miranda said, and Larry told her, "You don't have to apologize to me or lie to me. It's all in the past now. My only concern is what happened between you and Derrick. Did you fall in love with him, or d

Miranda wore a red dress that was loose-fitting, paired with black shoes, and had her blonde hair styled in a bun. Derrick wore a blue shirt and black pants, along with black shoes. 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. He finally walked up to cover him up with his small blanket, careful not to make any noise that would awake Oliver.After that, he turned off t

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
