All Chapters of My Billionaire's Baby: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Krystal walked gracefully and beautifully. When is she not beautiful? Always perfect. Her wide-leg trousers almost brushed the floor, covering part of her high-heeled shoes, complemented by a matching blazer. The standout of her appearance today was her hair. Perhaps she had sharpened the highlights. I don't know. What's certain is that it looked more defined, adding to her beauty.Then there's Anna. The girl smiled awkwardly, looking down, maybe feeling shy. I gave her an encouraging smile. "Take care, Anna. You can do it," I said. Her eyes blinked slowly, and a smile finally appeared on her lips. Maybe she felt relieved, the uncomfortable feeling of taking over my responsibilities slowly fading away.I'm not too concerned if Krystal doesn't invite me out for meetings. Instead, I've become more afraid and started taking better care of Baby. I don't want any unwanted incidents to happen. If the worst-case scenario comes true, and I get fired for breaking the rules, whi

I felt like the two friends I treated were avoiding me. I invited them for lunch, but they said they already ordered delivery. This morning before work, I offered them breakfast from our favorite restaurant, but they didn't want it. They only replied to my messages with short and often repeated responses, so I wonder, did I do something wrong?It doesn't seem like it.We're still on good terms. We haven't had any arguments or debates. Is it because I pressed on the gossip issue? So what? I just want to know! Could they really just leave me hanging like this? It's strange!"Anya, we're going out until evening," my boss informed me. She was getting ready with her Hermes bag, while Anna was still rushing to keep up with Krystal. There was a meeting scheduled for this afternoon, and originally, they planned to have lunch together. But Krystal refused, according to Anna, who was worried about being asked many questions by the client about why her boss declined the lunch invitation.In my m

I insist on stopping by the bakery later. How can I go to Cedric's house without bringing anything? That would be so impolite! During the elevator ride down to the basement where my car is parked, I ask a lot of questions about what his mother likes. Even though Cedric said it's not necessary, I believe it is essential.I mean, come on! How can a woman be introduced officially, with a not-so-flat belly, and not bring anything? I'm not crazy, right?!"Okay, okay. We'll stop by, alright. Your strictness is getting worse," I grumble in annoyance."Strictness or sweetness?" Cedric teases."Yesterday, I said 'balance', Joice. Balanced."I give up arguing with Cedric. "My mother likes cheese brownies. Let's buy them, and find a store that's already open." Cedric allows me to step out first, but as soon as I do, I realize this isn't the basement."We still have one more floor, Cedric.""Here, Joice."I furrow my brows. "My car is in the basement, you know."He just smiles. His fingers slip i

"Anya is so clueless, it's like she's on cloud nine. It's so annoying! Can I yank her hair? I mean, can you do that to a pregnant woman?" Dona said, barely finishing her sentence before Naomi landed a heavy punch on her head."Dammit, Naomi!""Don't be so rude! Geez! Do you want your foul language to reach the baby?!" Naomi scolded.Dona then gently, albeit grudgingly, caressed my belly. "I'm sorry, Aunt Dona, okay? Your mommy can be a bit... difficult. She needs to be straightened out. Let's just be mad at Aunt Naomi instead. She's the harsh one, too aggressive."Naomi sneered while I immediately moved Dona's hand away from my belly, although she got a sharp flick from me. "Hurry up! You wanted to tell a story, right? I'm getting sleepy!" I said impatiently.Instead of sleeping, we ended up having a long pillow talk, something we hadn't done in ages. After leaving Cedric's grand house, they arrived not long after. I was sure Cedric must have messa

For three days, I ignored, avoided, and disregarded Cedric, I don't care what you call it. The point is, I treated him as if he didn't exist, even though he never left my side. He sticks to me at the office like a leech, always following me around as if deliberately showing everyone that I belong to him.No one is allowed to get close, and I think now even Henry feels more hesitant around me. I'm okay with that. It's actually a relief not to have extra burdens on my mind. Our interactions are limited to work-related matters only, nothing more. Even the messages and calls that used to be frequent are now nonexistent.I think what happened on Monday really made Henry realize who he's dealing with when he approaches me. Maybe. I don't care to inquire further. I'm still unwilling to face Cedric right now."What do you want to eat, Joice?"We've arrived at the apartment. I didn't speak throughout the journey back, just like the days before. He chatted away, an
