Getting A Mom: Baby Sitting His Daughter Chapter 62
Chapter 62 Out of His Reach The SoHo gym didn’t resemble or feel like a place where people came to sweat. Glass stretched from floor to ceiling, reflecting the soft blue lighting that ran in clean lines along the walls. The steel frames, the polished floors, even the air itself felt controlled—cool, filtered, expensive. Conversations drifted easily beneath the low hum of music, blending with the quiet confidence of people who belonged in spaces like this. Pearl moved through the room beside Patrick without hesitation, her steps measured, her posture steady. The emerald silk of her dress caught the light as she walked, subtle but impossible to ignore—a few people stealing glances at every opportunity. Patrick guided her towards a small group near the central display, his hand resting lightly at the small of her back—not pressing, not forcing, just enough to guide her movement. “The childcare wing,” he was saying as they approached, “that was Pearl’s observation.” The group turned,

Chapter 61(Lines Crossed)Ace remained by the fireplace, one hand resting against the mantel, fingers pressing into the marble as if he needed something solid to cling to.Patrick watched him from the armchair, glass in hand, eyes sharp with keen interest.“She’s a spitfire, isn’t she?” Patrick said, pouring himself another drink as if nothing had just happened. “I’ve never seen anyone in your house speak to you like that. Not in front of company.”Ace exhaled slowly and turned away from the fire.“She’s under a lot of stress,” he said, walking towards the chair opposite Patrick. “The kidnapping. The Gala. It’s been… a lot.”Patrick leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees.“Stress?” he repeated. “Ace, you look like you haven’t slept in days. And she looks like she’s ready to report you to the police.”Ace sank into the chair, but he didn’t relax. He just wanted his back on something.“I don’t want to talk about it,” he said. “We have work to finish. The Sydney branch—”“For

Chapter 60(Misunderstanding)Pearl didn’t stay in the Mia room after Ace left. Mia had settled on the rug with her book, legs tucked underneath, already flipping through the pages as if nothing had happened.“I’ll be downstairs,” Pearl said, adjusting the edge of the blanket on the chair.Mia looked up briefly. “Okay.”Pearl nodded once and walked out. Voices reached her before she arrived at the drawing room.Patrick was speaking—easy, confident. Ace’s replies came lower, shorter, like he was forcing himself to stay engaged.Pearl stepped in.Patrick noticed her presence immediately. He straightened, a grin already forming as he set his glass aside.“Well, finally,” he said, walking towards her. “I was beginning to think he imagined you.”Pearl paused a few steps inside the room. She didn’t move closer than necessary.“Good morning,” she greeted.Patrick extended his hand. She took it briefly—firm, polite—and let go.Up close, he studied her without hiding it, as if trying to figure

Chapter 59(Hold My Hand)Pearl gently closed the door behind Patrick. She didn’t linger there this time. Instead, she turned and headed straight back to the dining area.Mia was still seated at the table, her spoon halfway to her mouth.“Who was that?” she asked immediately.“A friend of your father’s,” Pearl replied, pulling out a chair and sitting down again. “His name’s Patrick.”Mia looked at her for a moment, then took another bite.“He smiles a lot.”Pearl nodded. “Finish your food.”Mia chewed slowly, still lost in thought.“Daddy doesn’t smile like that,” she added. “His face looks… tired lately.”Pearl reached for a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth.“Your father has a lot on his plate,” she said quietly.Mia didn’t argue, but her eyes stayed on Pearl’s face a second longer than usual. They finished breakfast quietly, and Pearl helped her down from the chair, taking her hand.“Let’s go upstairs. You wanted to finish your drawing.”Mia nodded and followed.They had jus

Chapter 58(The Night He Didn’t Send It)It was past eight when Ace finally shut his laptop. The study was quiet except for the rain tapping steadily against the windows. The blue light from the screen faded, leaving the room dim once more.“I’ll be on the ground in New York by the end of the month, sir,” Daniel’s voice had said moments earlier. “The Singapore merger is stabilised.”“Good,” Ace had replied. “Take a few days off when you get back.”Now the call was over, and only Maria remained on the line.“Mr Warren?” she said softly. “You’ve been working from home for two weeks. The board hasn’t seen you. Investors are starting to ask questions.”“The work is getting done,” he said.“I know,” she replied. “But you don’t usually stay away from the office like this.”He didn’t respond immediately. “I have things to handle here,” he said finally.Maria paused, then nodded to herself on the other end.“Alright,” she said. “Just don’t disappear completely. I’ll send the morning briefings

Chapter 57(The Day the Silence Broke)For two weeks after the confrontation in the sunroom, Pearl avoided him with quiet precision. She moved through the Warren mansion exactly as expected—efficient, punctual, composed. Every hallway crossing was brief. Every conversation ended quickly. Every hand-off involving Mia remained strictly professional.She stopped calling him Ace. He was Mr Warren again; at least, it made things easier.If she treated him like an employer, she didn’t have to remember the way his voice had sounded in the library that night. She didn’t have to remember how close he had stood to her. She didn’t have to remember the look in his eyes when he said he wanted her there—not just for Mia.Routine was safer than memory. On Tuesday afternoon, while Mia slept, Pearl retreated to her room and called Ella. It was the only place in the house where she allowed herself ten minutes that belonged to her.“So he still hasn’t stopped?” Ella asked over the phone. “The gifts?”“N

Chapter 14(The Stern Warning)The morning air at St. Jude’s Academy was crisp, but for Ace Warren, it felt like the calm before a storm he was personally bringing ashore.Usually, the black sedan was driven by a silent professional while Ace sat in the back, buried in market analytics. But today,

Chapter 17(The public perception)The elevator doors of the AW Groups Headquarters hissed open on the executive floor. Ace stepped out, his stride a rhythmic, predatory march. He didn’t look at the floor; he looked through the walls.But he didn’t make it five steps before a figure stepped into hi

Chapter 16(Nonchalant Hero)The blue and red lights of the security SUVs flickered against the weathered siding of the house. Israel was gone, taken away in a silence that felt heavier than his screams. Ace stood on the cracked pavement, his eyes scanning the peeling paint and the sagging porch."

Chapter 15 (Not Family) The vibration in Pearl’s pocket felt like an electric shock. She stepped away from the sedan, her thumb swiping the screen before she could even check the ID.“Pearl? Pearl, where the hell have you been?!” Ella’s voice came through in a frantic, jagged whisper. “I haven’t
