Zeth sighed as he ended the call with his “mother.” She had called once again to pester him to marry someone and give her a grandchild. This was the second...no, maybe the third time of the month that she had called, and all three times, she said the same thing. Zeth finally told her that he doesn’t want to have a child in his lifetime just to shut her up.He placed his phone inside his pocket and massaged the bridge of his nose. He only talked to his mother for a couple of minutes, but he already feels demotivated to go through the rest of the day. That’s the effect that his mom has on him. At this point, he doesn’t even want to call her his “mom.”After hearing that Zeth’s phone call had finished. Adriel put on a straight face and knocked on the door.“Come in,” Zeth grumbled.Adriel went inside the room and made it seem like she wasn’t just listening in on Zeth’s phone call.“What is it?” Zeth asked. “Sir, the main models are already waiting for you downstairs in the conference ro
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 24: Daddy Blues
Kian was dumbfounded the moment he saw the kid’s face. No matter at what angle he looks at him, he still looks like Zeth. If he didn’t know better, he would think that the kid would be Zeth’s son.“Mister. It’s your turn to order!” Zenon tugged on the hem of his shirt. “Zenon, stop bothering strangers,” a woman, who Kian assumed to be the kid’s mother, said. The woman didn’t look familiar at all, so he just brushed off the possibility of Zeth having a long-lost son.“Sorry. I just wanted to tell him that the Choco Taco is delicious!” he exclaimed cutely, making Kian chuckle. He rarely found kids cute, but this kid is definitely cute. “I’m alright, little boy. You should just go with your mommy,” he said before finally ordering two Choco Tacos from the ice cream man.Cedric, who was busy texting someone on his phone, finally looked up and frowned when he saw that Kian just ordered. “What took you so long?” Kian nudged Cedric’s shoulder and discreetly pointed towards Zenon who was ha

“Zenon,” Daphne shouted from a distance when she saw that Zenon was with two other people she couldn’t recognize. She ran to where they were and went in front of Zenon, giving the twins a suspicious look. Kian and Cedric looked at each other, afraid that Zenon’s aunt would misunderstand the situation. “My mommy’s name is Adr—“ Zenon popped out from behind Daphne, but Daphne quickly covered his mouth before he could finish his sentence. She kneeled down to his level and whispered in his ear. “Zenon, what did we tell you about talking to strangers?”“But they aren’t strangers, aunt Daphne! See,” he spread out his hands. “They helped me clean up my mess.”“Oh,” Daphne said. Then if that’s the case...She got up from the ground and cleared her throat. “Thank you for helping my nephew. I’m sorry for being so suspicious the moment I got here.”Cedric shook his head and smiled. “No worries. We would have done the same if we were in your situation.”“Well then,” Daphne said. “I think we sh
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 26: Cautious
Adriel hurriedly opened the door to Daphne’s apartment. She saw Daphne in the kitchen, making herself a cup of iced coffee.Daphne turned around when she heard the door opening, smiling at Adriel as she went in.“Hey, you’re back. Zenon’s taking a nap, so you can stay here for a while,” Daphne said. “Do you want some?” she asked, gesturing to her iced coffee.Adriel shook her head and sat down on the couch, nervously fiddling her fingers. Daphne sat right beside her and leaned back on the couch.“Oh,” Daphne said, clapping her hands. “Something interesting happened this day.”Adriel bit her lips and turned towards Daphne. “Did you, perhaps, meet a set of twins this morning?”Daphne’s eyes widened in surprise. “Are you a psychic or something? How did you know?”Adriel closed her eyes and placed her hand on her forehead. “Ah, I was hoping that it was just a mere coincidence.”Daphne frowned. “What’s wrong?”“The set of twins that you met...I know them,” she confessed.“Oh,” Daphne said.

“Found you," he smirked while looking down on Adriel. "Uncle twin!" Zenon shouted excitedly. Adriel's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly covered Zenon's mouth just in case other people, especially Zeth, would hear his voice. "I knew I saw someone familiar when we first came in," Cedric smiled. "It turns out it was you," he then looked down at Zenon. "With your child." Adriel is at a loss. Her mind is running about a million miles per second, and all she can think about is that Cedric would divulge her long-kept secret to Zeth. Cedric chuckled while looking at the nervous Adriel. "Relax, I'm not going to tell him. Instead, I'm going to help you." Adriel looked up at his eyes to see if he was joking but could only see sincerity among them. "How?" she softly asked. He raised his hand, signaling for her to wait. He then brought out his phone and called someone."Hey," he said when the other person on the phone picked up. Cedric placed the phone on the loudspeaker so she co
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 28: Sexual Tension
"What?" Adriel spluttered. Zeth called for one of the sales attendants to bring out the clothes that the supposed model was about to fit. "Wait, are you serious, sir?" she warily asked. "I'm serious," Zeth nonchalantly said. "You have the same height as the model." He then slowly looked at Adriel's body from top to bottom, Adriel gulping when his gaze stayed longer on her chest area. “And it seems like you also have similar body measurements with her." Adriel looked down at the ground and bit her lips. “But, sir. I'm not qualified to try on these outfits. Maybe, I should just call a proxy model so she can be the one to temporarily replace our main model." Zeth shook his head. "I've already thought about that. And it would take up more time. I have a meeting in the afternoon, and it's already nearing 10 o'clock. This is the best option that we have." After he said that, the clothes were brought out by the sales attendant. "Here are the items, sir," she bowed her head before leavi
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 29: In Denial
Zeth internally cursed in the back of his mind. He thought he was strong—strong enough to resist the hold that Adriel had on him. But, turns out, he was wrong. Even after all these years, he still can't deny the attraction that he feels for the woman. But that's all there is to it—attraction, he tried to convince himself. That this is just a mere kiss without any real intention behind it. That he's just pent-up from having to deal with the pressure of the upcoming showcase. And so, he let his inhibitions go, and he let his instincts kick in. Their lips met in a soft kiss—a tender press of soft skin to skin. Adriel's were smooth, sweet, damp, and it tastes just as it did four years ago, maybe even better. Their eyes closed in a slow farewell to each other's gazes. Their senses entirely focused on the stimulation on their lips. Zeth stopped himself from lifting his hand up to cup Adriel's cheeks. To him, that would have been too much. That would have meant that the meaningless kiss he
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 30: A Little Bit More
Adriel took the phone from Zenon’s hand and looked at the picture he was pertaining to. It was a picture of her and Zeth during Mr. Earl Gray’s party. She doesn’t exactly know when it was taken, but it was on her phone nonetheless. Someone must have taken a picture of them when she was drunk. Adriel sternly looked at Zenon and sighed. “What did I tell you about using my phone, Zenon? I told you not to snoop around and to just play games.”Zenon guiltily looked down on the ground. “I just wanted to see pictures, mommy. Then I saw someone who looks like me. Is it my daddy?” he innocently asked.Adriel closed her eyes to calm herself down. She knew that she shouldn’t get angry with Zenon for merely wanting to satiate his curiosity. However, at the same time, she doesn’t know how to respond to her son. “Mommy?” Zenon went closer to her and held onto her hand. Adriel looked into his wide, sincere eyes, and felt a pang in her chest. Even if he wants to get Zeth out of her mind, she is co
