☠️Adrian☠️

For several long moments, neither of us moves. I simply stare at her. Sophie is still in my arms, cheeks burning, the white satin catching the candlelight with every nervous breath she takes.

The room smells faintly of jasmine. Candles flicker across every surface. Soft music hums somewhere in the background.

She really…. Prepared all this for me?

My gaze sweeps over the bedroom once more while I slowly, almost reluctantly step away from her. The carefully arranged flowers r

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 126

    ❤️Sophie❤️By Monday morning, I’ve almost convinced myself that Saturday meant nothing.The man at the café looked like someone from my past. That’s all. People resemble each other every day, and I refuse to spend the next week wondering whether a stranger has the same face as someone who hurt me.Besides, I have better things to think about. Like the baby. And Adrian. Mostly Adrian, if I’m being honest.He’s been busy since the weekend, leaving early and returning later than usual, but he still finds time to check on me. This morning, he comes into the bedroom while I’m sitting in front of the dressing table, struggling with the clasp of a necklace.He stops behind me and looks at my reflection. “Where are you going?”“Out.”His eyebrows lift slightly. I turn in my chair. “What? Am I supposed to submit a written application before leaving the house now?”“No.” He takes the necklace from my hand. “But it would be helpful to know where my wife is going.”The word wife still does someth

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 125

    ☠️Adrian☠️I know something is wrong the moment Sophie walks through the door. It isn’t obvious.She isn’t crying. She isn’t angry. She isn’t even quiet enough for most people to notice. But I know her now.I know the difference between her ordinary silence and the kind that means her mind is somewhere else.I am standing near the staircase when she walks into the house, Sandy beside her. Sophie is laughing at something Sandy says, but the moment her eyes find mine, the smile on her face changes.It becomes real. That should make me feel better. Instead, I notice the hesitation before she comes toward me. I wait. Sandy looks between us, then smiles. “I’ll leave you two.”Sophie gives her a small wave. “Thank you for today.”“Anytime.” Sandy walks toward the door, and I watch her leave before looking back at Sophie.She is already taking off her sandals. “How was your day?”“Good.” Too quick.I walk toward her. “Good?”She nods. “Yes.”I take her bag from her shoulder before she can pr

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 124

    ❤️Sophie❤️By Saturday afternoon, I am desperate to get out of the house. Not because anything is wrong. Actually, that is the problem. Nothing is wrong.Everything has been so quiet lately that I feel like I am living inside a bubble. Adrian goes to work, comes home, spends time with me, and somehow manages to make even the most ordinary days feel like something I want to keep.But I am tired of sitting in the same rooms. So when Sandy calls and tells me she is already on her way to the shopping district, I don’t hesitate.I change into a loose cream dress, slip my feet into sandals and grab my bag before heading downstairs.One of the maids is arranging fresh flowers in the sitting room when I walk through. “I’m going out with Sandy.”She looks up and smiles. “Will Mr. Blackwood be joining you?”“No. He’s working.”She gives me a knowing look that makes me laugh.“I’ll be back later.” Outside, the afternoon air feels warmer than I expected.By the time Sandy arrives, I am already wa

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 123

    ❤️Sophie❤️By the time Adrian gets home, the afternoon has already settled into that quiet part of the day where the house feels almost too peaceful.I am curled up on the sofa in the sitting room with my feet tucked beneath me, one hand resting absently over my stomach while the television plays something I haven’t been paying attention to for the last twenty minutes. A maid passes through the room with a tray of folded laundry, gives me a small smile, then disappears down the hallway.I glance toward the entrance when I hear the front door open. My body reacts before I even think about it. I sit up.A few seconds later, Adrian walks in.He looks exactly like he always does when he comes home from work—dark suit, loosened tie, sleeves still buttoned at his wrists—but there is something different in the way he carries himself. His shoulders are slightly tense, and his expression is harder than it was when he left this morning.He spots me almost immediately. His eyes settle on mine.

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 122

    ☠️Adrian☠️I wake before the alarm. For a few seconds, I don’t move.The room is still dim, the curtains drawn, the air cool against my skin. Sophie is asleep beside me, turned slightly toward my side of the bed, one hand resting near her face.My gaze drops to my right hand. The knuckles are swollen. I flex my fingers carefully.The dull ache reminds me of the wall, the empty room upstairs, the photograph sitting inside the box. And Sophie standing on the other side of the door.I look at her. She had every reason to ask more questions yesterday. She didn’t. She could have pushed until I told her everything. She didn’t.Instead, she sat beside me with an ice pack wrapped around my hand and acted as though I was still the same man she had woken up beside that morning.I don’t know what to do with that. My eyes move over her face. She looks peaceful. Trusting. Completely unaware of how much of my life exists outside the version of me she knows.I get out of bed quietly. The moment my f

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 121

    ❤️Sophie❤️ I knock again. There is no answer. I look at the closed door, my hand still resting on the handle. Something is wrong. Adrian doesn’t usually walk away from me like that. Especially not after I’ve said something as harmless as asking whether our fathers were friends. I glance down the hallway. The house is quiet again. Somewhere downstairs, I can hear one of the maids moving dishes in the kitchen, but up here there is nothing except the silence behind the door. I knock once more. “Adrian?” Still nothing. I slowly turn the handle. The door opens. He is standing by the window with his back to me. For a second, I look at him. His shoulders are tense, and one hand is hanging stiffly at his side. Then I notice his knuckles. They’re red. I step inside. “What happened to your hand?” He doesn’t turn around immediately. “Nothing.” I stare at him. “Adrian.” He finally looks over his shoulder. His expression is different. Not cold exactly. Just closed. I walk toward him. “Y
