The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 122 Moment of Truth
Tuesday dawned with an air of anticipation that clung to Alessia like a second skin.Restless energy coursed through her veins from the moment she woke up, an undercurrent of anxiety that refused to be ignored.Each passing hour felt like an eternity, the hands of the clock mocking her impatience.Then, like a lifeline in the midst of her restlessness, the phone call came.She snatched up her phone, her heart pounding, and hit the answer button with trembling fingers.‘Miss Jansen, this is Dr Schmidt from the hospital,’ the voice on the other end began. ‘I’m calling to inform you that the DNA report you requested is now available for collection.’Alessia’s breath caught in her throat, her pulse quickening.The moment of truth had arrived.She had been waiting for this, hoping for it, dreading it – all in equal measure.She fought to steady her voice as she responded, ‘Thank you, Doctor. I’ll come to collect it today.’Miss Hicks granted her the leave she needed, and Alessia wasted no
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 123 Lustful or Wistful
The conference room was shrouded in tense silence.The meeting had been in progress for over half an hour, and everybody, except the boss, couldn’t wait to escape.Logan Wilde stood at the head of the table, his gaze piercing through each member of his cryptocurrency division like a laser.‘You call yourselves experts?’ Logan’s voice cut through the room, his words sharp and unforgiving. ‘You failed to see the shifting tides in the market, and now we’re facing a loss in profit that should never have happened.’He leaned forward, his hands planted firmly on the table, his eyes ablaze with a mix of anger and frustration. ‘In this business, you need to be sharp, you need to anticipate changes before they even happen. Our competitors are always one step ahead, and we need to be two steps ahead if we want to survive.’Marcus Laroche, the division head, shifted uncomfortably, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.Mr Wilde had been in a bad mood since Monday morning, and everyone did their
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 124 D*mned If She Did, D*mned If She Didn’t
Logan cleared his throat and rapped his knuckle on the desk. ‘Well?’‘What?’ Alessia blinked, her mind pulled back to the present.‘What are you doing here?’ he asked again.Alessia’s hand reached into her bag and fingered the DNA report, then she paused.She remembered what Logan said about children.Milo looked so much like him.What if Logan wanted to keep Milo to himself once he knew?Or, what if he didn’t?If Logan took Milo away, Alessia would be sad.If Logan refused to acknowledge Milo’s existence, Milo would be sad.D*mned if she did, d*mned if she didn’t.Alessia bit her bottom lip.Maybe she shouldn’t have come here so fast.She herself hadn’t had time to fully absorb the news yet, let alone drop such a bombshell on the unsuspecting Logan.What if he thought she was lying?Logan stared at Alessia and saw all kinds of emotion chase after one another across her face: doubt, hesitation, concern, even indignation.His brows were drawn tightly together now.What the hell was goi
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 125 Jog His Memory
‘Oh, screw this!’ Alessia muttered under her breath, shot to her feet, circled the desk and came to stand in front of him, looking down at him in his big fancy ergonomic chair, then pressed her lips to his.Logan’s eyes widened ever so slightly, then he tried to take control by kissing her back.Alessia pulled back first, licked her lips, then asked, ‘Anything?’‘What?’ Logan’s mind was adrift in a sea of pleasant haziness, surprised and pleased by her sudden initiative.‘The kiss. Does it…feel familiar? Jog any memory?’Logan smirked. ‘It was too brief to jog anything. Maybe if you do it again.’Alessia leaned down and kissed him, harder this time. ‘Anything?’Logan’s grin was lopsided and lustful. ‘Maybe. So, is that a yes?’‘Yes what?’‘Yes to becoming my girlfriend.’Alessia backed off a step. ‘No.’Logan frowned. ‘Then why the hell did you kiss me?’‘Just…trying to confirm something.’‘Confirm what?’‘Confirm if you were the man who was in my tent six years ago,’ Alessia thought.
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 126 Give It Time
Milo’s lips twitched, a hint of mischief in his eyes. ‘Wilde Enterprises is a famous company, Mom. And I read that article you did on him. Then I saw a picture of him.’‘Oh.’But that wasn’t the whole truth.In reality, Milo had managed to hack into the hospital’s database once he realised the significance of the DNA test.He had seen the results two days before Alessia did and had taken it upon himself to Google Logan Wilde.However, since his mother frowned upon his hacking tendencies, he chose to keep his own investigation under wraps.Alessia sighed. ‘So, any thoughts? Do you want to meet him?’‘But it appears that you don’t want me to.’ Milo observed his mother’s weary expression.‘It’s not that.’ Alessia’s shoulders sagged. ‘It’s just… he has his own life now, and maybe even a girlfriend. I don’t know if I should just spring this on him.’Milo’s gaze held a quiet wisdom beyond his years. ‘Is he a good man, Mom?’Alessia considered her response carefully. ‘He’s okay, I guess. Dec
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 127 Two-hour Date
Sofie’s voice flowed like a bubbling stream, her animated chatter filling the space. ‘You won’t believe what happened during my shopping spree last week. I stumbled upon this fabulous boutique, and the moment I stepped in, I knew I had to have the entire collection.’‘Uh-huh.’ Logan’s eyes were distant as he absently swirled the wine in his glass.He made noncommittal sounds in his throat, his mind wandering elsewhere, wondering what Alessia was doing at that very moment.Sofie leaned in, her laughter like wind chimes in the evening breeze. ‘Hey, you with me, Logan?’Logan blinked, his focus returning to the present. ‘You were talking about shopping.’Sofie’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she leaned back. ‘Sorry, I know it must sound boring to a busy man like you. Let’s change the topic then. Let me tell you about the time I went scuba diving. The underwater world is a whole new universe, you know? I took pictures of angelfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish and had a run-in with an incr
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 128 Private Investigation
Logan fell silent for a long while, then finally said, ‘That’s not it.’Sofie shrugged. ‘Fine, let’s talk about something else.’The moment the two hours were up, Logan signalled the waiter for the bill and signed it.Pushing back his chair, he rose to his feet and turned to face Sofie. ‘I know you have a driver, so I’m not going to drive you home. Good night.’And with that, he walked away, leaving Sofie alone.She twirled her phone in her hand, watching Logan leave with a calculated smile on her painted lips.Logan Wilde was just as aloof and unapproachable as she anticipated.But it was fine.She hadn’t counted on melting the ice wall he put up around his heart with just one date.The two hours tonight were not a total loss.At least he remembered her name and hadn’t said no when she asked if they could meet again sometime later.The only problem was: how to create the opportunities to meet him again.Logan’s grandfather and hers were family friends, which was the only reason that
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 129 Timing
Logan stood at the edge of the lake, the sun dipping low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the water.He looked out at the small fishing boat where his grandfather, Albert, was peacefully fishing alone.The old man had a parasol propped up to shield him from the afternoon sun, a cooler full of drinks by his side, and a comfy lounge chair on which he relaxed.Perched on Albert’s shoulder was a spirited yellow-crested cockatoo named Sunny, who squawked a greeting as Logan approached.‘Nice of you to show up,’ Albert snorted, not bothering to look away from his fishing line.‘Show up!’ Sunny repeated reproachfully.Logan shrugged. ‘I had some things to take care of.’He glanced around, taking in the serene surroundings before asking, ‘Where’s Arlie?’‘At school, where else?’ Albert replied gruffly.Logan reached into the supplies nearby and grabbed another fishing rod.He settled into a chair next to Albert, the two of them fishing side by side in companionable silence.With a f
