Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 92

The night had approached fast and after settling Hayley down and getting her to
eat and painting with her out in the balcony as the sun went down, she was in a
little bit of a better mood.

After putting on her favourite animation and making her some popped corn, she
was happily watching away in the living room while I took the chance to get
ready. Nancy was going to come back just before I left to be with Hayley and by
then Hayley would probably go to sleep but I couldn't leave her alone. As much
as I felt terrible mim guilt for leaving Hayley when she was so uneasy, I reassured
myself that she wouldn't even know that I was gone because she would be
asleep before I could even step out of the house.

I didn’t wear any thing fancy at all since I wasn't dressing to impress neither did I
want any one to get the wrong idea especially Scott.

So, the all black skirt and high neckline black blouse was a decent option. The
skirt was long and stopped just above my knee and it was flowy just bit business
wear. The sleeves of the blouse had been long but the material of it was thin
making it perfect for a warm night. I didn’t do much make up aside from
concealer and a neutral shade lip tint. I went with a pair of strappy sandals and
not heels for tonight and I was ready to go.

It was half an hour before Scott said he would fetch me but there was a knock on
the front door which caused me to frown but then I realised that it could very
likely be Nancy even though it had been too early for her to show up but Nancy
was too punctual sometimes. Not that I minded it all.

I sauntered to the front door and pulled it open. “It is a little early-" My words that
had been intended for Nancy had caught at the back of my throat when I was
greeted with the sight of a very disheveled Dante standing at my door.

His face spotted a but of a shadow, his hair was all over the place like he had ran
his hands through them trying to pull half of it out of its roots. He had no blazer
on and the crisp white shirt that would ideally be beneath it had the two buttons
popped open at the top revealing a slight sign of his chest hair and his sleeves
had been rolled up to his elbows.

“Dante, what are you doing here?” I moved aside for him to step in still trying to
recover from his sudden and unannounced arrival.

Dante stepped in to the house oozing his familiar scent as he moved past me.
“Are you not happy to see me?” His words held a bite and I flinched knowing that
he

was in a foul mood.

“No, no. It isn't that but you have been keeping your distance and playing it safe
since the fundraiser with all the chaos that had broken through. You coming here
tonight just caught me off guard, I guess.” I explained to him as we now both just
stood there on the foyer.

I couldn't tell if it was just me but some thing felt off with Dante. He was bothered
by some thing which caused his mood to be like this and it radiated through the
air immediately causing a sense of uneasiness through it.

“I see but I'm only here because of Hayley and nothing else.” Dante clarified
almost like he didn’t want me to assume that he come here for me. I ignored the
slight sting from his words and pretended like it didn't bug me at all.

“Good because she has been missing you.” I was sure that he was aware of this
by

now.

Dante nodded and a grunt escaped him before he assessed me from head to
toe. His jaw tightened and his eyes hardened until they had become
unreasonable.

“You're dressed up.” He glanced at his wristwatch. “At this hour, too. Are you
going some where?” Some thing was definitely up with Dante and his accusing
tone was proof of that.

I hated being questioned especially when he was sounding so entitled like I owed
it to him to tell him of my every move. Nevertheless, I swallowed the bubble of
irritation and decided to be civil here.

“Yes, actually. I am having dinner with Scott. It's just for business plus he wanted
to apologize and I thought it the perfect opportunity to try and-"

Dante’s jaw tightened before it relaxed. “Just for business, huh? Then why not
have it within the proper bounds at your office’s board room just as business
dealings should be seen to.” He snapped, each of his words escaping him
through tightly gritted teeth.

“And risk those leeches snap Scott entering the building? I think not.” He snorted
at my reasoning and I felt my nose flare at his attitude.

“He is an investment. It is not unusual for an investor to frequently visit the
company he is a part of but what is rather suspicious is that none of your so
called business meetings with Scott where never held at your company.” Dante
pointed out like he was suggesting some thing I would much rather not admit he
was.

It was true that bay meetings held with Scott from the start had been held at
different restaurants but that was only because Scott had requested it that way
and nothing else. I didn’t agree with it either at all but I also knew that my
intentions were not otherwise.

“It isn't professional and I am not defending that at all but, either way, like I
always said i do not owe you an explanation especially when you are being
unreasonably entitled.” I crossed my arms over my chest and stuck my chin our
defiantly.

It was silly of me to have assumed the moment that I opened that door and saw
him standing here that he had come to see me, that the days apart had troubled
him as much as it did me, that he had missed me but, as always, I was wrong
when it came to him. After the fundraiser, I thought things would be a little
different between us but I guess it meant nothing to him at all. Dante came here
with no other intention but to quarrel with me over his beef with Scott.

“You are unbelievable. After knowing what Scott-"

“Daddy?” Hayley’s small, curios voice sounded from behind us cutting Dante of.
We turned to look at her as she blinked a few times like she couldn't believe her
eyes. “Daddy!” She exclaimed happily before running up to Dante as fast as she
could.

Dante caught her as she leaped at him and pulled her up in to a tight hug. I
watched in fascination, as always, as his entire demeanor changed the minute
she was his arms. Dante hugged her tightly and kissed the side of her head
many many times.

“Ah, Hayley, I missed you terribly.” He said with so much emotion that it had
made “Ah, Hayley, I missed you terribly.” He said with his voice sound rough.
Hayley had been hugging him just as securely with no sign of letting go just yet.
“I missed you, too. So, so much. I was asking Nancy to bring me to you but she
said that she couldn't because you were busy.” Hayley's words were mu ffled
against Dante shoulder and I was now just a third person standing there but I
didn’t mind

it.

Despite my own anger, I was more than relieved that Hayley had seen Dante
even after all these days. It was evident that his absence was having not the best
effect on her and maybe now she wouldn't be so upset.

With them having a moment, I let them be and returned to my room to get my
purse and I was just in time, too, because Scott had arrived right on time.
Thankfully, he had not come to the door and I had left leaving Dante and Hayley

about his lack of presence for the past two weeks.
