Billionaire's Secret Baby CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
On their way back to Stephan's house, Ethan fell asleep in the backseat, and Ruby looked at him for a second, with warmth in her eyes as she brushed a stray lock of hair away from his face. "My parent seems to have taken a liken to you and Ethan," Stephan said in a very low voice almost like a whisper, his attention still locked on the road. When he said this, Ruby blushed and turned her face away from him to hide the grin on her swelling cheeks.When they arrived at Stephan's house, he insisted on carrying Ethan inside while Ruby gathered their belongings from the car. The silence was absolute as they comforted Ethan and tucked him in bed, reflecting on how the night turned out.As Ruby undressed and changed into her pyjamas, she could not help but count herself lucky as the unforeseen turn their evening had taken did certainly make it a night to remember. Stephan walked into the room with his guarded features giving way to a warm smile."Thank you for today,” he said earnestly.

Ruby couldn’t contain her excitement any longer, so she dragged Naomi upstairs to her room for some private girl's chat. As Naomi entered, she looked around, taking in the unfamiliar but lavishly furnished room. “Nice room, Stephan did an amazing job making you feel comfortable”“Yeah he did, the room is so spacious and he has been a great host,” Ruby replied leading Naomi to a seat.“Okay spill the beans. How did you get Stephan to invest heavily in your start-up” Naomi asked curiously “Well, I didn’t have to do much convincing, we were having dinner and I said something along the lines of; I’m tired of job hunting only to leave the job whenever Ethan needs my attention and that starting a business would be more ideal and that was it,” Ruby said, her voice filled with a mix of elation and gratitude.“I never knew Stephan Rodriguez was this nice, he is a typical example of not judging a book by its cover” Naomi said "He's been my solid support. When I shared my business idea, he di

The tension in the house was thick as oatmeal the next morning. Ruby, Stephan, and Naomi avoided eye contact as they shuffled around the kitchen, trying to make breakfast without setting off any more explosions. Suddenly, Naomi coughed softly. "Stephan, I hope you're not still upset about last night," she said carefully, not wanting to upset him further. Stephan shook his head, forcing a smile."No, I'm not," he replied, though his voice sounded strained, indicating that he might still be bothered by it. Naomi shot Ruby a glance, silently pleading for help. But Ruby was too busy stirring her coffee, her mind racing with thoughts of Stephan’s reaction last night. Finally, Naomi spoke up again. "Okay, let's go out today, Ruby. We could go shopping," she suggested a hopeful glint in her eyes. Ruby sighed. "Again? We went out yesterday!" Naomi bit her lip nervously. "I know, but I saw this adorable dress that would look perfect on you on my way to Stephan's house at the boutique a f

Stephan, Ruby, Amelia, and Naomi were sitting together at the table. The room felt nice and sunny. Everyone was calm and happy now, eating breakfast. Stephan was glad Amelia wasn't upset anymore. Ruby was talking happily about her plans for the day. "Hey, everyone, I have something important to say," she said seriously. Stephan looked at her, curiosity piqued.“What is it, Naomi?” he asked, placing his fork on the plate. Naomi breathed out heavily, her expression turning sober. She said sadly, "My holiday is finished, and I have to go back home tomorrow."Ruby’s face collapsed. Her downcast eyes showed disappointment. “Oh no, so soon?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with regret.Amelia looked up, a little smile flashing across her face. “Tomorrow? I thought you were staying forever,” she remarked, her tone tinged with sarcasm.Stephan raised an eyebrow at Amelia's remark. "Amelia, that's enough. Be respectful," he cautioned, his tone firm.Amelia smiled cunningly, her eyes twi

Ruby found herself alone and bored after Naomi left. Not knowing what to do, she decided to go spend time with Ethan in his room and hang out there, it had been a while since she had done that. Stephan seizing the opportunity for some comic relief, went along and very soon everybody in the room burst into laughter. They were playing with brightly coloured building blocks, stacking them into big towers and Ethan was laughing as they watched them fall. It was a game of simplicity yet it brought him so much joy. Ethan's infectious giggles add to the cheerful atmosphere.Amelia, feeling excluded and resentful of the attention Ethan was receiving, couldn’t bear to see them having fun without her. With a scowl on her face, she marched over and forcibly pulled Stephan away from the group, disrupting their moment of enjoyment. Stephan, irritated by Amelia’s interference, confronted her with a stern expression. “Amelia, what’s the matter? We were having a good time,” he stated firmly. Amelia

“So, Ruby, besides dealing with the Amelia situation, how was your day today?”“It was pretty chill, you know? Spent some time goofing around with Ethan, and then I got lost in this amazing book. How about you?”“Ah, sounds like a relaxing day! Mine was a very chaotic day but I'm glad you had a chill day. So any plans for the week?" "Yes I have plans, I intend to go in search of an office space to rent. I really need a spot to knuckle down and get some serious work done.”“That sounds like a solid plan! Having a dedicated workspace can really up your game. You know I’ve got your back if you need any help with the hunt.”“Thanks, Naomi! I’ll definitely keep you posted. And what about you? Any exciting plans in the pipeline?”“Oh, I can’t wait for Saturday! Choosing cool clothes and even testing a new hairstyle will be really enjoyable.“Absolutely! I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks for suggesting it, Naomi. It’s nice to have something positive to look forward to.”“Anytime, Ru

Amelia descended the stairs and caught sight of Stephan’s intense gaze fixed on Ruby. She couldn’t help but notice how pretty Ruby looked with her new hairstyle, but Stephan’s reaction made her uneasy. “Stephan, why are you staring at Ruby like that?” Amelia asked, her voice betraying her discomfort. Stephan quickly looked away, trying to play it cool. “Oh, I was just admiring her new hairstyle. Doesn’t she look nice?” he replied, trying to slough off Amelia’s concern. Amelia shook her head slightly in agreement, but she couldn’t rid herself of the feeling of discomfort nipping at her.“Yeah, she does. It’s just... never mind,” she muttered, her tone uncertain as she turned away, unable to fully express her feelings.Stephan sensed Amelia’s unease and decided to excuse himself to avoid a misunderstanding. As soon as they were alone, Amelia couldn't resist the urge to taunt Ruby about her new look."Nice makeover, Ruby. But if you were yearning to get Stephan's attention with it, then
