All Chapters of Mommy, Please Marry Mr.CEO!: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

LeoTony most probably then only loved to discuss Ariadne and it was starting to give me much more peace of mind than ever before, but I couldn't stop thinking about Layla and Nathan. The cops had not provided anything that could point to the criminal, and I was starting to think that they were not taking the case seriously for one reason or another. My contacting the IP didn't seem to be having the supposed effects.“It's time for the meeting, sir…" Celine walked in.“So what do you think? Do I proceed?” Tony queried. What was he even talking about?“Ah, yeah, yeah… it's… it's fantastic.” I pretended to have heard all of what he had said from the beginning to the end, whereas it was totally otherwise.“You don't have any idea of what I'm talking about, do you?” He frowned.“You caught me!” I admitted. “I'm sorry…I…"“You are overwhelmed.” He said as a matter of fact. I knew.“I'll be there in a minute.” I turned to Celine.“Sure sir.” She smiled and walked out.“Have they not caught

Other than the times that he had felt disappointed at something, I had never seen Eugene so pale and teary-eyed. He was slumped on the chair when I arrived at their big house full of sympathizers and well-wishers. Some bouncers were just outside the door, fencing away the press with their sizes. I was the only one putting on colors due to the fact that I had come directly from school. Eugene was surrounded by many people, especially adults wearing the mournful color, black. His mother had just died, his would I feel if someone I was very familiar with died so suddenly? Someone like Aunt Layla or Mrs. Carter. I would be so sad and angry, Sad and mad I thought. I wouldn’t even allow so many people to be around me, saying all sorts of odd things to my hearing. It wouldn’t do me any good, not in the slightest. I’d rather be on my own.I approached the crowd that had gathered around Eugene and tried to wriggle myself through.“Excuse me,” I said to one bosomy woman who was actually about t

He was standing at my door like he said he would.“You will let me in, won't you?” He grinned.I quietly opened the door wider and walked back in.“Leo!” Nathan ran across the room to embrace him. I had accepted I had no control over these things again.“Look what I got for you…” He said when I ambled inside the kitchen. I felt a little bit relieved by the fact that Henry had earlier left for some important business. Sincerely, I felt terrible keeping him in the dark.“How are you doing?” I was jolted out of my thoughts. He was there, at the door, with a sheepish grin across his face. Oh, how much I detested that smile! I ignored him and proceeded to make Mac and Cheese for Nathan.“I don't mind a serving…” He shuffled in. “What can I help you with?” He offered.“Nothing.” I flatly replied.“I can do anything, you know…you used to make me do them during college…”LeoShe glared at me like I had said something abominable. I guessed she didn't want to hear anything about our past. Tha

LaylaI expected Henry to be back by the end of the day, but he called me in the evening, informing me about a change of plans. He wouldn't be coming back until the end of the week. And as it was, Nathan was still home and without a babysitter, since I had to do some work outside the house, I couldn't fill in the space. I thought about Mrs. Carter, but unfortunately, she had previously complained about the tiredness and weakness her pregnancy came with. She always dozes off within seconds these days. I didn't want to add to get problem. Sofia wouldn't be around either, as on the previous day a public apology was given by the culprits as regards her case, so she could then return to school with her head up high. Moreover, some investigations were still going on concerning the slanderous publications, and Eugene's father promised to get to the root of everything. It was baffling, to all, how one could manipulate the friendship between two kids and use it as a tool of public embarras

SofiaA gentle hand brushed my face, making me stir from my sleep. However, I wouldn't open my eyes, I was in a dream. Yes, there was a hand that was touching my face affectionately and I loved it. I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. Its feel tickled my ears and goosebumps popped out of my flesh.“Sofia.” A soft voice kissed my ear. I loved that too. I might shut my eyes forever, but I was startled out by a loud unpleasant bang.“Geez!” I gasped, looking around only to find Eugene standing very close to me.“Sorry, but I guess it did help out.” He chuckled. I frowned. “No, no… It's not what you're thinking. I didn't do it. It came divinely from nearby.”I dabbed my head, wiping beads of sweat away. I didn't know when I had dozed off in my textbook.“You are a deep sleeper, you know?” He came to sit in front of me.“I was tired.” I defended.“Yeah. You must be hungry too. I bought you chicken and
