Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 24

The four days Sylve didnt report to work or Kage didn't let her, rather. In his words. I don't want you passing out on the kin thiore. Do you know how extremely stressful it was moving you to the hospital Don't do that again. Sylvie" Sve had led her eyes. She knew he was an asshole, but she appreciated the break

On the third day of the break in the evening, she had been home with a friend when Westley called Since the night, when she revealed the pregnancy, they'd only spoken once on the phone, and that was the previous morning when he was simply fat on bez

But when he called that evening, he told her he was outside her apartment and asked if she could step out

Sylvie met up with him, finding him in a pair of black pants and a T-shin. He appeared casual, but the Tesla car he stood

"Hey the rubbed the back of her pants as she stood before him, her gaze dancing on the floor.

He took a second longer before replying "Hey, Sylvie How have you bern!"

"Been pretty good. You?"

"Well" He sighed and darted his eyes around. "Let's just say I've been fine."

Silence fell between them, it became so uncomfortable

You know I'm sorry you didn't hear from me all these while he broke the silence. I was just really hooked up with something, plus I've been thinking

"It's fine. I understand

Tve been thinking about what you said. Sylvie, about the baby. Now, first of all. Kage is a real son of a bitch for doing what he did. He even a bigger bitch's son for letting you go at all."

Sylvie couldn't explain why she got uncomfortable hearing him call Kage names. Yes, she as fond of doing same, but it just didn't sit well with her hearing it from someone else. "You're an amazing person, Sylvie, and I still love you regardless. He completed

Her brows scrunched up as the looked at him. What the...

He pushed away from his car where he leaned, going closer to hold her hand. "I still want you, Sylvie Price, and this time. I don't just want you to be my woman. I need you to be my wife" Shock widened Sylvie's eyes and made her face paler than possible. Her jaw dropped as she developed goosebumps on almost every part of her body

She looked around, her mind hazy. There was no way it was a dream. Had Westley lost his mind?

His hand holding hers confirmed it wasn't a dream. Then, how could he be uttering such words!

aware that Kage in planning to get married, right?

Took I'm not even trying to make comparison or any thing of sort, I just want you to know you're free to be happy, Sylvie. And I promise you. I'm never gonna hurt you. I'll love and accept this baby like it's mine. Ill be a great father to it. Please. Sylvie give me this chance. W Sylvie Price had never been more stunned her whole life. She blinked rapidly, wondering if Westley Harper just proposed to her despite knowing she was pregnant.

She wired absent-mindedly at me mirror, applying her red lipstick. She was lost in thoughts and had the lipstick stuck on her

Alter Weaddey's propreal two days ago, she'd been more contheted. She'd simply told him she'd need to think about i

She knew she and Kage weren't on okay teram, but would it really be cool to give his babies to someone else? Sighing, she took her bag and left for the office.

For some weird reason, it felt good bring back at Fluxpoint. She looked around as she walked in through the ground floor and headed for the elevator.

When the elevator opened on her loor, she came in contact with Lancelot who was seemingly waiting to go in. "There was a spark as their eyes met.

Sylvie gulped tersely and tried walking away, but of course, be wouldn't let het off that easily. The son of a bitch. She'd been happy she hadn't run into him the whole time.

Seriously? You just gonna walk pass like I ain't here?" He laughed,

The

area of the elevator was deserted, so no one could actually see them.

She stopped walking but didn't turn to look at him.

Lancelot retraced his steps to meet her. "Now, I've missed you. I've been here for three days now and was so sad when I learnt you were sick. I'd have come visiting if I knew where you lived, you know."

"And I'd have called the cops on you. You're not allowed to come anywhere near my property," she struck out, her eyes glaring daggers

He laughed again. "Oh, Sylvie, always feisty when she's angry. Always pretty

He moved to smooth her hair. "I miss us, you know? Even if our moment was short-lived, it's a moment I hold dear

The thought of it made Sylvie want to puke. There was nothing she missed about it. As a matter of fact, Kage was right - she always made the wrong choices with men. Otherwise, how had she been so foolish to be with someone like Lancelot Guy has always been a dick. She slapped his hand away from her hair.

Just leave me alone, okay? Find someone else to toil with. Look around for Christ sake, Lancellot! There are like a million laries around. Or have you been getting rejected?"

He laughed so hard at that, Sylvie believed he truly found it funny.

"Funny of you to think they'd reject me. He said with laughter still in his mouth. "Maybe the problem is, I find it difficult getting over my exes

Her face crumpled up in disgust. "You're a bigger fool than I thought if you think you're anything close to an ex. You were less than a thing"

"Yeah. A fling who hanged you so hard, your eyes wouldn't stop rolling," he faked a yawn. "Say something else

The thought of it made her still want to puke. God, she hated herself for what she did back then

Fuck you, she cursed and walked away, not letting him stop her with the words that followed.

It was close to midday Kage was in his office when he got a call from one of his assistants, presenting him with a disturbing news about the fine Trillion project.

The bedding permit was rejected by the local government. They based it on zoning restrictions and infrastructural strain The assistant repeated.

Kage's barons gathered in a frown. "What nonsense are you speaking, Matt What zoning restrictions? That isn't supposed to be a problem. And what infrastructures will it be putting, a strain on?"

Thad the same argument, sir, but they were insistent. However, one of them who I'm close to made mention that it was someone from the Group that had brought the report to them, telling them to take note of the conflicts the building would bring

letek Kage a moment to process that. How? What group?" He huffed. Are you referring to my group? The One Trillion Grup

"Yes, sir. A member of the group had approached them with these farts, as if wanting to stall the project. But he wouldn't say who it was

Kage's grip on the phone got tighter. Who wise could it possibly be? Who else if not the son of a bitch?

Dropping the call, he rose to his feet and stormed out of the office. In a moment, he was in Sylvie's office where the was on a phone call.
