Semua Bab BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION : Bab 561 - Bab 570

Monica rushed out of the kitchen and came back with the baby. She had named him Junior. I didn’t care, and I didn’t want anything to do with this baby at first, but… something about him scares me. The baby always reminds me of Leo. He has those same startling green eyes, like chips of sea glass, and a head of wavy, jet-black hair. I keep telling myself it's just my mind playing tricks—that I’m seeing Leo because I can’t stop thinking about him, wondering where he is now, if he ever thinks of me. But the resemblance is uncanny. Maybe it’s just my own delusion. The same way I thought John had some similarities with him, maybe I didn’t remember what Leo sounds like and thought John sounded like him. Or simply, maybe I am losing my mind. Monica returned to the kitchen; the baby’s eyes searched for me. As soon as he saw me, he cried, leaning for me to carry him. “Charlotte?” Monica said softly. I sniffled, dried my hands, and carried him from her. “Thank you,” she said to me.

“Mommy is coming home this weekend?” I sobbed. Daddy’s posture eased. He crossed his arms, a small smile touching his lips. “Oh, that’s why you’re crying?” Uncle Yusuf asked. I nodded, wiping my nose with the back of my hand. He pulled me back into a bear hug. “I feel you, kiddo. I want to cry, too. I’m so happy I’ll get to see my baby sister…” He made a show of it, puffing out his lips and pretending to bawl, emitting loud, fake, hiccupping sobs. His face was so funny that a laugh bubbled out of me. From the sofa, the twins erupted into gleeful cackles. “It’s not funny!” Uncle Yusuf insisted, playing it up, wiping imaginary tears. “I can’t stop these tears, man! It’s just so touching, how much I missed her…” I hugged him again, tightly. “Thanks, Uncle Yusuf.” “For what?” “For being my Uncle… you’re so sweet,” I replied. “Well, not to brag, sweetie, but imagine what it could’ve felt like if I was your father, not your uncle, huh?” I pulled back, looking between his smiling

"The ring... I had to run a background check. The private number’s female voice was fake. And also, while I was at it, Leo knew I was trying to figure him out, so he invited me to his island. That’s when I saw Angel for the first time. I cried like a baby.""Aww... I wish I had witnessed such a lovely moment," Angela said with a smile."Yeah, the first time you visited you didn't keep the environment so lovely. You literally punched Leo in the face and gave him a nose bleed. You made Angel worry about it.""Well, he said it himself—he deserved it. Who are you to complain? I did it for my girl, Charlotte. Can you imagine the stress and pain Charlotte is going through because of his silly games?!""From a man's point of view... it kept Charlotte and Angel alive and got that bastard in jail. I am not angry, but grateful to him.""What?! What do you mean, 'a man's point of view'? Are you saying because I am a woman..." He kissed her. "Wait... are you saying because I am a woman I am emoti

LEO’S POV“Daddy?”Angel’s voice came from outside the door, followed by a soft knock. I pretended to be asleep.She opened the door.“Good morning, Daddy!”She jumped at the foot of the bed.I immediately shut my eyes in pretense.I had been staring at the ceiling for hours, my heart fluttering like a trapped hummingbird in my ribs. Nervousness, excitement, fear—all three mixed together—had pushed sleep far out of reach.Tomorrow is the day I will see Charlotte again.I am excited, happy, but also nervous and fearful about what her reaction would be.It would only be a delusion to think she would greet me with a hug and a kiss.Charlotte—I know she doesn’t take betrayal lightly. I know her story… I just wish there was a better way.“Daddy! Wake up! Today is the day! Let’s go bring Mommy home!”Angel yelled into my ears, almost bursting my eardrum.I pretended not to hear again and squeezed my eyes tightly. Her tiny hands landed on my chest and started shaking me with enthusiastic, un

I stood there at the balcony long after the call ended. Musa's last words echoed. "She also mentioned that the island will bring back bad memories. She’ll never step foot on it. Give her some time for now. I will do the same. And this time, don't make any other decisions that will complicate things. Unless you want to push her out of your life for good. If you hurt my sister again, even I will make sure she is far away from you. If your love is selfish enough not to consider her feelings, then stay away from her." I swallowed tightly and clenched my fists. "Daddy!!!" Angel's voice called. "Yea… yes, princess!" I went back inside. Angel was sitting on the edge of the bed, one overall strap already fastened, the other twisted the wrong way. Her brows were drawn together in concentration, her tongue peeking out slightly. “Daddy, help me please,” she said without looking up. “This button is being stubborn.” I knelt in front of her and fixed it, slower than necessary. I needed th
