Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 78
A week had gone by and there was no sign not even a peep from Dante. It was
like he had just fell of the face of the earth, initially, I thought that he had finally
chosen to leave me alone and he was consciously staying away from me but
when Hayley mentioned that he hadn't stopped by to see her in days I began to
think other wise.
He could have easily gone on a business trip and that would have been entirely
normal but it was rather odd of him to have you and disappeared. I tried not to
care reminding myself several times. that he was none of my concern but a small
part of me was itching with curiosity.
Despite the need to know his whereabouts, I enjoyed the peace for a little bit and
Dante being gone didn’t mean at all that Scott Vanderbilt had rested. His
determination was impeccable and even after having recieved a bloodied nose
and bruised chin, he walked through the office wearing his bruises like an armor
as he offered to take me out to lunch.
I declined, obviously, and he left but when I found myself at the cafe grabbing a
quick bite and Scott had been there himself fetching his own food, I had no
excuse any more to not share a table with him. I didn’t believe it to be a
coincidence at all that he was at the cafe.
Scott's own business head quarters were on the other side of the city. The more
popular and elite side, if you will. He had quite possibly never ever eaten from
this cafe before that brunch meeting and I refused to believe that it had become
his new favourite spot to take lunch at
He was too calculated. Too persistent. Too determined. And he had too much of
time on his hands. One would think being a business man would require him to
be busier and occupied with more commendable persuits but at his wealth level,
money made itself.
I dragged myself out of my own thoughts as I placed a pair of gold hoop earrings
through my lobes. It was still a little early and I had some toaster waffles and fruit
already precut last night so I could enjoy a breakfast with Hayley. She had been
missing Dante immensely even thought she tried not to show it too much but I
saw the way her face would light up expectantly when Nancy would knock on the
door and she would think that it was Dante even though he never ever dropped
by so early in the morning.
I pretended like I didn’t notice and I tried to be with her a lot more so she didn’t
feel his absence too much.
“You said there were toaster waffles. I was dreaming all night about it. There was
some drool.” Hayley bounced in to my room in her pajamas and it made me
realise why I tried to save exciting things for the last minute only because she
became too eager and invested, as any child would
“And I keep my promises.” I wrapped my arms around her in a tight hug and
sighed at how much I
loved her.
“Okay, then let's go.” She began tugging on my hand until we were both out of
the room and walking down the stairs together until we reached the kitchen.

“I'll get the plates out.” She announced as she moved to the cabinet that held the
plates.
“Thank you. These babies won't take too long in the toaster.” I informed her since
she was so excited. about it.
I popped the waffles in to the toaster and moved to the fridge to get the bowl of
berries and fruit and, of course, the syrup from the cupboard.
It must have been less than five minutes before Hayley and I had been seat at
the kitchen island, knife and fork in half, and out waffles piled high with fruit and
drenched in syrup.
“Mmmm, this is so so Sooo good, mama. Hayley said with her mouth full and I
didn’t blame her. this was actually really delicious
“It really is. We should do this more often.” I suggested and that carned me a big
nod from her in approval.
We ate as we chatted and she filled me in on her week with Nancy so far and
how they were beginning to move on to more educational persuits instead of just
colouring all day.
“Do you miss colouring though?” I popped a lone blueberry in my mouth.
“Not really. I get to colour after we finish a lesson but I like learning. I feel smart.
Like you.” She smiled widely at me and I couldn't help but beam at her words.
“You are smart, darling.” I reached over and tucked her hair behind her car.
“Dad told me the same thing, I miss him. I haven't seen him all week. Do you
know where he is?” And bam. There it was.

“I- Actually, I think he went away for some business. He should be back any day
now.” I said gently but she just stared at her syrup streaked plate.
“But he didn't even say good-bye before he left.” Her voice was small and it hurt
every part of me to hear sound so delicate and disappointed.
