CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT - THIRTY PERCENT SHARES
Last Updated:
2024-02-15 08:00:57My breath hitched.
I vaguely remember Tory bringing a bouquet into my hospital room when I first came to.
Before she came in, there was a noise, and it sounded so much like two people arguing.
It did not matter back then, but now….
“Adam threw you out, didn’t he?”
Caleb nodded.
“He learned that I paid the hospital a hefty donation to allow me access to the delivery room.” He laughed awkwardly as if the reminder embarrassed him.
I grappled with the new information.
He was there.
The realization hit me so hard

Cassy POV"Adam....""What?"I pursed my lips before telling him what I wanted to say.“Thank you. For always being there. I may not be vocal with my feelings, but for me, you will always be the best brother.”My face contorted while I reined in the feeling of gratitude that threatened to overwhelm me.Adam stood up and walked to my table. He sat near the edge, facing me. This time, I met his eyes and saw his understanding.“You are my only sister, Cassy, and I will always look out for you.” He said.I nodded.Adam stood up and stretched his arm above his head. Then, he ruffled my hair like he used to do when we were kids.“Ugh! Not my hair!” I shrieked, surprising the two of us.Adam laughed

And you already told me about your stand on this. So, for our children’s sake, let us try to make this work, hmmm?”The light was back in his eyes.Caleb nodded and stepped closer, bringing us toe to toe.The unexpected sudden movement made me look up, and our eyes met.I don’t know how to define the expression I saw in t

I tried, but while I was on the operating table, I realized I can't.”My head was still bent, Caleb lifted my chin with his index finger, making our eyes meet.He looked solemn like he was trying to hold back himself.“I am sorry, Cassy. I failed to protect you and the kids, but I was glad you have people around you like Dr. Richardson to pull you hard to make you see sense. If anything, I feel indebted to the man for trying to bethe man I wasn't back then.” There was overwhelming gratitude in his e

Cassy POVCaleb spun me around in excitement, and I squealed in delight. When the children noticed what we were doing, they abandoned the toys scattered in the playpen to run toward us. “What’s happening?” Oakley asked.From the background, I could hear my mom tell her. “You and Joachim will have a baby brother or a sister soon.” “Oh!” Oakley sounded surprised.By this time, Caleb had already put me down, and I was watching the enraptured emotion on my little girl’s face. A grin worked its way to her face, making her more beautiful in my eyes. She took her brother’s hand excitedly. “We are going to have a baby! Yay! I am going to be a big sister!” Oakley and Joachim jumped at the news. They were clapping, and so were everyone around us. Even Rosalie Kingston Pierre looked at us with a wistful smile. Greg and James, Caleb’s friends, proposed a toast.“Congratulations on the baby!” They both shouted and tapped their glasses with spoons.It created tinkling sounds that gave off
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED NINE - BABY NUMBER THREE
Cassy POVDuring the party, I could feel that something was bothering Caleb. It's not that I was suspecting him of anything. It was more like I was just puzzled at the antsy behavior. From time to time, he would leave me to talk on the phone, and my lips formed a straight line in displeasure. I am sure it was business, but can’t he postpone business for a while to enjoy the children’s party?“You look lonely, babe. Where is your husband?” Reynold approached me when he noticed I was standing alone in the corner, watching the event while my husband was out of sight. Caleb just stepped out of the room, purportedly to answer Gordon’s call, and it is honestly pi*sing me off. I shrugged my shoulders and looked murderous. The day began magnificently. Caleb and I rose before dawn and tiptoed our way to the twins' bedroom to spruce it up with birthday decor. We wanted to surprise the twins, and we did!The smile on their faces was priceless. Caleb and I could not contain our tears whe

Caleb POVWe started milling around, stopping by some tables to talk to some parents. From the happiness wreathed on the children’s faces, I could see that everyone was having a good time. My two best friends arrived, and I immediately snaked an arm around Cassy’s waist when I noticed Greg smiling at her. I still hadn’t forgotten what he told me before - that he had a crush on my wife. Cassy was surprised but did not remove my arms around her waist while we talked to my best friends. This alone made me shoot Greg a gloating look. If I didn’t need them for my proposal later, I wouldn’t have invited them, especially Greg, but they are the only people I could rely on.A crowd gathered around us, and my two best friends entertained them, allowing Cassy and I to extricate ourselves from the circle to welcome Adam and Cassy’s friends as they trickled in one by one. Martin Crest, Cole Higgs, and John Collins came in one after the other, bearing boxes of gifts for the twins. When Joach

Her little hand started caressing my face.“Thank you, Daddy! I love you!” Oakley declared.My shoulders started to shake. I don’t know what I did before to deserve these children, but I was so happy.“I love you, too, Oakley.
