A Mistaken Night With The CEO 77| The call 2
"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
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 79| The search
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

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
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 83| Son's escape
Once Miranda was done dressing in a pink suit and black shoes, she paired the outfit with a pink skirt and carried her black handbag. As she exited her bedroom, Oliver was standing outside the house waiting for his mother.Emily wasn't around, so Miranda locked up the house and walked to her new car. She unlocked the vehicle door and hopped inside.Oliver frowned, not wanting to use the new car Uncle Larry had given his mother. But he knew there was nothing he could do to stop his mother’s relationship with Uncle Larry. If only his father weren’t a bad man."Oliver, fasten your seat belt," Miranda said to her son as he sat in the back seat. Oliver obeyed, and soon she drove out of the residence, heading to the mall.When Miranda arrived, she entered the parking lot and parked her car. Her security personnel were surprised to see her in a new vehicle, as they were familiar with the three cars she had owned before. They smiled and greeted her happily as Miranda got out of her car with h
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 84| Meeting his son
Sabrina Jackson had been looking for an opportunity to meet with Derrick, and now that opportunity had presented itself, even though she was not allowed to see him on regular days, as Derrick's assistant was the only one permitted to meet with him in his office."Yes, what do you want?" Derrick asked as his eyes scanned Sabrina in her white shirt and black skirt; she was also wearing black shoes. Though she worked for Luis Corporation, she still looked poor and below the class of ladies Derrick Luis would admire speaking with.His face appeared stoic as he listened to her. "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but I think I have something that you may want to see.""What's that?" Derrick asked, sounding almost impatient with Sabrina. She noticed that he looked stressed, and she quickly unlocked her phone and showed Derrick the photo she had captured earlier—a small boy in a white top, blue jeans, and black sandals."Here it is, sir. I actually saw the small boy at the mall last week, and he
