All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Christmas Surprise : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ryan woke up with a pounding headache. He hadn’t been able to sleep properly all night. He had called Serena multiple times after returning from Kate’s house, but she didn’t pick up any of his calls. Each ring that went unanswered only fueled his frustration.He groaned and sat up, rubbing his face. “Why won’t she just answer?” he muttered to himself, staring at his phone screen. A dozen missed calls and no response. Dragging himself out of bed, he freshened up, took a quick shower, and got dressed for work. Today, he had two meetings lined up in the morning, and his plan was simple—get through them as fast as possible and head straight to Rocky’s Design to see Serena.“Maybe she’s just playing hard to get,” he mumbled to himself as he adjusted his tie in front of the mirror. But deep down, a nagging feeling told him otherwise. Serena wasn’t the type to play games—not with him.By the time he arrived at his company, Jefferson was already waiting for him at the door. “Goo

Ryan stood outside Serena’s office, waiting anxiously for her to finish work so they could leave. His mind was racing with thoughts of Amy. He had spent years not knowing he had a daughter, and now that he did, he couldn’t waste another second.Serena finally stepped out, holding her bag, and gave him a small nod. “Are you ready to finally meet her officially?”Ryan nodded quickly. “Yeah. Though I’m anxious about what she would feel about me. But, Let’s go pick her up.”They walked to Serena’s car in silence. Ryan kept stealing glances at her, his heart pounding with nervous anticipation. He was sweating profusely even though the car air condition was on.As they drove, he drummed his fingers on his knee. “Does she… does she know anything about me?”Serena sighed. “I told her things… but not the truth. I’ll explain it to her tonight.”Ryan swallowed hard. “What did you tell her?”Serena kept her eyes on the road. “That her dad loved her very much but couldn’t be with us.”Ryan’s h

“Daddy, hurry up!” Amy squealed, tugging on Ryan’s hand as they walked into the park. Her little face was beaming with excitement, and Ryan couldn’t help but smile at her energy.“Alright, alright, slow down, princess,” he chuckled, adjusting the cap on her head to shield her from the sun. “Where do you want to go first?”Amy looked around, eyes darting from the swings to the slides, then to the carousel spinning in the distance. “Um… the swings!” she finally decided, pointing eagerly.Ryan grinned. “Swings it is!”They walked over, and Ryan lifted Amy onto one of the swings. “Hold tight,” he said, gently pushing her back.Amy giggled as the wind rushed past her face.“Higher, Daddy! Higher!” she urged.Ryan pushed a little harder, watching her squeal with joy. “Not too high, princess. I don’t want you flying off!” he teased.After a few minutes of swinging, Amy jumped off, landing with a little bounce. “Let’s go on the slide now!” she declared, grabbing his hand again and dra

Ryan sat in his office, staring at his phone screen for what felt like the hundredth time that day. Serena still wasn’t answering his calls. It had been two days since the incident at the park, and no matter how many times he tried, she wouldn’t pick up.With a frustrated sigh, he tossed the phone onto his desk and leaned back in his chair. His head was pounding, and his chest felt tight. He couldn’t sit here anymore. He needed to clear his head.Grabbing his phone again, he scrolled through his contacts and pressed a familiar name. The phone rang twice before a cheerful voice answered.“Ryan! Man, it’s been a while!”Ryan managed a small smile. “Yeah, it has. Listen, I need to get out of my head for a bit. How about some ice hockey?”There was a brief pause before his friend laughed. “Ice hockey? Are you serious? It’s been years!”“Come on, Ethan,” Ryan urged. “After all, I was the best back in school, remember?”Ethan chuckled. “Oh, I remember. You were unbeatable. Alright, let

Ryan stood frozen in place, staring at Kate in disbelief. His heart pounded in his chest, and for a long moment, he couldn’t find his voice. When he finally did, his words came out in a shaky breath.“Kate… that’s impossible,” he said, running a hand through his hair. “The last time… the last time anything happened between us was a month ago. There’s no way you could have gotten pregnant from that moment.”Kate crossed her arms and frowned at him, leaning against the couch. “Oh, come on, Ryan. You know just one time is enough. And guess what? It happened.”Ryan shook his head, stepping back like he needed to put some distance between them. “No… no, this isn’t happening. It can’t be. Are you sure?”Kate rolled her eyes. “Of course I’m sure! Do you think I’d lie about something like this?”Ryan let out a humorless laugh, pacing around the living room. “Wouldn’t you, Kate? Perhaps you’ve done worse.”Kate’s eyes darkened, but she forced a smile. “Ryan, you can’t change the fact that
