Semua Bab The Billionaire's Secret Baby: Bab 51 - Bab 60

CONNORI made all the preparation for proposing to Grace while making her believe we were only going to see my mother. I have always thought about how to propose to her in the most epic way, but ideas refused to come till I spoke to Laurel about it. She didn’t really understand much but went with the flow and helped in making everything successful. Wanting her to meet my family was still what I had to do, but I can’t just introduce her to my mum as my child’s mother. Grace means the world to me, and I had to tell it to the world that she was more than what everyone thought of her. I fell in love with her even before the pregnancy happened, even before I became what I was at the long run, and I wanted to make up for all the times I should have been there for her and with her but wasn’t there. All those times I thought I had lost her forever. Our family Chauffeur, Mr. Mackintosh was already waiting at the

JODY “How are you my boyfriend, Marcus?” I asked with subtle irritation laced in my voice, as I took my seat after I was able to gather my equilibrium. I couldn’t believe Marcus would come to where I worked and introduce himself as her boyfriend. What he did made me feel some sort of warmth inside but I caught herself quickly before she fell for his charm again.She still loved him to the point where it hurt so badly, but she has promised herself never to take him back again.Never.Never, ever. And she meant it. She gazed at him evenly as he sat uncomfortably on her visitor’s chair adjacent hers. He was gazing at her as well, but his gaze was saying so much, words she could hear loud and clear even though he didn’t speak out a word.  “Jody can we talk?” his expression was serious. “We’re talking right now, aren’t we?” “No,

GRACEWhen Connor and I came back from his mother’s place, he was trying so hard to act like everything was alright, and nothing was wrong. But I wished he wouldn’t act that way. I wanted us to talk, to talk about his mother because as much as she wouldn’t stop me from seeing Connor, I wouldn’t want any of his family member to be against us being together, especially someone as important as his mother. She was extremely important to him so her opinion should count too when it came to our union, to an extent.  Also, I was trying to understand why Connor had never mentioned anything about my parents’ house to me all these while. I kept thinking about it all the way from Wales to London but couldn’t wrap my head around how strong his reasons could be. Why didn’t he tell me about the house? My parent’s house, the only thing I got from my parent after their death. The same house I had to give up

GRACE The call ended abruptly before I even had the chance to reply the person. Irritated by the unknown female’s audacity, as well as a pang of jealousy, I redialed the number only to realize it was Connor’s business number. One I didn’t bother to save. Why would another female be calling me with Connor’s number? I wondered, getting up on my feet and absentmindedly grabbing my winter coat. “I only left yesterday and he had the guts to hang out with another female? Let’s not jump into conclusion just yet, Grace, breathe… I said to myself looking down at my friends who were staring at me like I had suddenly lost my mind. “Who was that Grace? What kind of call made you get up like that?” NK asked me sharply, concern written on her face. “Uhmm,” I hesitated, wondering if it was okay to let them know, well dammit! “A female just called me with Connor’s ph

GRACE POVI wanted to ask him if he was feeling well enough for us to get on the road, but with the kind of determination on his face, I knew even if he wasn’t feeling well enough, it still wouldn’t deter him. So I dressed myself and Laurie and we got on our way. To be honest, I was really curious too. Even Laurie was and she kept throwing questions of our destination to Connor who did everything but answer those questions. I remained silent the whole ride, deep in my thoughts. We had gotten far into the journey when familiarities started to spring up. They were minimal at first so I didn’t pay them much attention, but then they became much more glaring that I couldn’t just ignore. Connor was taking us to the home his company stole from me.Was he trying to absolve himself of the accusation of his Mom that day in his home?Well, I was looking forward to seeing how he could possibly explain it. Even if I could excuse him taking the ho
