Page 51 of Secret Baby for Dr. Billionaire

“She likes you, you know? She told me she wanted to talk to you even before you brought her flowers. She said you spoke softly. It was a groundbreaker, her therapist said.”

My heart beamed with so much joy hearing this. Billy Anne liked me, and I was glad that somehow, I had helped her overcome a personal obstacle.

“I’m looking forward to meeting her. Officially, this time.”

“And I’m looking forward to seeing all my girls together.”

I fell asleep in Ben’s arms, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t worry about what tomorrow would bring. For the first time, I was willing to live in the moment and let someone take care of me and Sofi.

Chapter sixteen

Ben

Chloewaswearingmydress shirt from last night, the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and she was wearing nothing but underwear underneath. Her hair was tied in a high bun atop her head, and she was facing the stove, mixing something.

“This I can get used to every morning.”

“What do you want for breakfast?”

“I’ll have whatever you’re having.” I went behind her to give her a hug and peck on the cheek to see that she was mixing pancake batter and that strips of bacon were frying in another pan.

“Pancakes and bacon, then.”

“I was thinking about picking you up at school today.” I was trying to find the mugs in her cupboard. When I saw them, I poured the coffee and handed her one.

“You don’t have to do that. I can take Frankie’s car.”

“No, don’t.”

“Are you jealous that I’m driving another man’s car?” she teased, and with how her legs were showing right now, I wouldn’t complain if I woke up to this every day.

“I can buy you a car if I want to. What would you want? A Benz? Maybe a Bentley like mine or the same Bugatti?”

There was no problem with me buying a car for her, and I for sure didn’t give a single shit about Franklin. I didn’t know him, and all I knew was that Chloe had chosen me.

“No, please don’t do that. I don’t need a car. The school isn’t that far away.”

“So you won’t have a problem if I drive you there and pick you up today.”

“What if the teachers talk?”

“Then I’ll fire every single one of them.”

“Please don’t tell me you own the school, too.”

“Okay, I won’t,” I teased.

“Ben.”

“I’m kidding. I’m a benefactor there, although I don’t know if I have the power to fire teachers, but I’m willing to try if that’s what it takes for you to allow me to pick you up.”

“Okay, fine. Please don’t make hasty decisions for me.”

“I just wanted to take you out to dinner tonight with the kids so we can tell Billy Anne about Sofi. And about us.”

“Oh, it’s really happening, isn’t it?”

“We can postpone if you’re not ready yet.”
