บททั้งหมดของ The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Baron’s POV“Ready?” I look at Valerie’s pretty face next to me in the backseat of our car, and past the tinted glass to the fleet of paparazzi flocking the walkway as always. Our company is in the heart of the city, right in the center of big event centers, fashion houses, and five-star restaurants where celebrities troop in daily. So yeah, these bees are always lurking around.“Uhm…” She takes in a deep breath. “Yes, I guess. Her voice breaks with a chuckle. I look down at her small bump hidden in the classy maternity dress. "You're safe."She chuckles and suck in cool air, not ready to share her pregnancy news. I hate to end our vacation so soon. It is the best moment of our lives. Her face is glowing and she’s getting chubby. “Come here,” I take her hands in mine and kiss gently, one at a time. “Very soon, you’ll be working from home and you don't need to face this social media madness. Okay?” She smiles and nods. “Let's go, boss.” She teases me. Jax opens my side of the doo

Baron’s POV‘Holy shit!’I crouch down, grabbing the backrest of my chair to hide my erection from Penny. It pokes Valerie in the face, maybe her ear too as she tries to find her balance beneath my huge frame.“Fuck…” Penny stutters, face to the side as she feigns ignorance. Right beside her, Jax’s eyes plead not guilty.Too late for both of them.The ridiculous image of her eyes poked out as she watched Valerie suck me taunts me. “I'm sorry.” She laments. “I didn't…”“Then leave.” I sigh, irritated. “Who the fuck barges into closed doors without knocking?” I vent out without a care. We were never buddies.“Baron.” Valerie whispers beneath me, her soft hand flat on my belly. Penny who should be sorry, grumbles like I'm the oppressor, then storms out of the office. “Valerie, out. Now.” The door slams shut. “How ridiculous.” I scoff and pull back to a standing height. “What did you even see in such a character?” She doesn't respond. Instead, she has a smile on as she fixes her rou

Valerie’s POVIf there’s something I’ve seen more than I bargained for, it's death.Right now, it feels like I'm going to die.Maybe already dead and slowly floating to the unknown world. “Vee?” Penelope stops slurping on her coffee. “Are you okay?” Of course, not. I don't speak. Not like I have the strength to. “Vee?” Her voice sounds alarmed. She sets her mug down and rushes over, hands out to touch me…“Stop,” I murmur. Thankfully, she does. Any slight movement and I'm going to explode from pain. She spins and scatters the place for her phone. “What- are you doing”“Calling Baron.” She doesn't pause. “Don’t.” I force out my response. “You can't tell me what to do when you keep scaring the shit out of me.” She mumbles and paces about. Sucking in deep breaths, the pain slowly releases me from the chokehold. I collapse on the edge of the couch, panting. ‘What just happened?’ I don't get the time to think as I feel irritation crawling at the bottom of my stomach. I grab my

Baron’s POVWait… Does she really think I cheated? With her bestie?!“You might as well ask her,” I respond, quite provoked. “You’re going there anyway.”Now that I said it, it doesn't feel right. She fakes a smile, her lids too weak as they blink nonstop. Her silent sobs break through the surface and she isn't quick to look away when the tears drop. “Love…”I reach to touch her but she storms out, slamming the door hard in my face. Her small feet stamp on the hard floor as she runs down the hallway. Gosh! I married a big baby. I follow her. I'm still in my work clothes, and back home is more hectic than working at the office. She runs down the stairs, drawing the attention of the staff. I follow behind, hoping the drama would end in a minute. “Please, stop…” She ignores me and keeps running. At this point, I'm scared for her and the baby. “Stay away from me!” She barks, spinning to face me.“Alright… Alright…” I lift my hands, not needing more eyes on us. To my surprise, sh

Baron’s POV“Miss Penelope is in the company, boss,” Jax whispers to my hearing. “She’s threatening to create a scene outside if you don't show up.” Gosh. Penelope Sinclair. I suck cool air through gritted teeth and graze my balled fist with my thumb. I'm still in the room, tending to Valerie. Her eyes are on me with curious stares. With every bite of her bread, she pulls closer, desperate to hear a word or two. “Send a word. I'll be there soon.” Jax nods and stands upright. He takes his phone out to place the call and walks out of the bedroom, draping in his neat suit as always. “What was that whispering for?” She demands once we're alone. I shrug, not having a definite response. “Business.” She sighs. “I'm not dumb, Baron.” Quietly, I peel off my pajama pants and continue to strip for a quick bath. “You should try and get more rest, love.” I try to dissuade her from pressing further. Her eyes pin me to the wall, searching my face for an answer but can't find any. She heav
