Semua Bab Wanting Daddy: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Benjamin’s POV “Today is the final hearing, Ben,” Violet's voice came from the other end of the line as I walked downstairs, “Wish me luck.”“I wish you good luck, Violet. Take care.” I replied, to which she sighed.Violet remained silent for a while afterward, causing me to wonder whether she'd mistakenly forgot to end the call.Minutes ago, I'd come out of the bathroom to see my phone vibrating with a call from Violet.After opening my phone, I found out that I'd also missed three calls from her.“I still love him, Ben,” She muttered, “What do I do? A part of me badly wants to believe the bullshit he keeps spewing about being innocent, but I just can't. I mean I saw them kissing and I saw the nudes she sent him as well. Am I making a mistake?”“Where are you right now?” I asked, placing my phone in between my shoulder and ear as I sat in the living room.“I'm sitting at the door step of my house,” Violet sniffled, “Shit, I'm so stupid. How can I be reconsidering divorce at the last

Benjamin’s POV “You have a meeting with Alvarez and sons constructions in two days, sir,” Darcy recited as he scrolled through his iPad, “Would you like me to have them reschedule or is it fine with you?”“It's fine. I'm free in two days,” I replied, looking up from the document I was inscribing my signature on.“About the information you told me to gather yesterday, sir,” Darcy continued, flapping his iPad shut, “I have been able to get it.”“Really?” I asked, immediately putting down the pen and averting my full attention to him, “So, what were you able to get?”Last night after Diana left my place, I put a call to Darcy, asking him to give me a rundown of everything that had been going on with my girlfriend.Especially since she was hellbent on keeping things from me.I knew she was doing it because she didn't want me to worry, but her hiding things from me, only made me feel even more concerned for her.“Yes, sir,” He replied, “Miss Leah invited Miss Diana's parents over to their

Leah’s POV “Has anyone called an emergency yet?” I hollered, placing Diana's head on my lap.My heart scudded with a mix of trepidation and self hatred as I looked at her deathly pallor face and lips.She was even starting to become cold in my arms.“Yes, they are on their way.” Someone yelled from the audience of students, and I nodded absentmindedly as I caressed her face.“Please wake up, Diana. I'm not mad at you anymore,” I rambled out, “I accept you as dad's girlfriend now, so please just wake up and forgive me for everything I've done to you, okay?”“The presentation has been postponed indefinitely. I will be in touch with your class representative,” I heard the lecturer say before he moved to us, “I will help transport her to the hospital. It's risky to keep wasting time like this.”I looked at him in surprise, “Thank you so much, sir.”“You are welcome,” He replied, before carrying Diana bridal style, “Help me with my laptop.”“Definitely, sir.” I replied, before we headed

Benjamin’s POV Holding Diana's hands, I brought them to my lips and kissed them one after the other.A smile stretched the corner of her lips as she watched me perform my antics.I was on my way home from work two days ago when Violet called to give me the disastrous news of Diana collapsing in class.Honestly, I almost ran mad with the extent of worry that flooded me in that very moment, but I had to keep a calm composure for Violet, Leah, and Diana.“Should I call your parents?” I asked, and her cheery expression instantly changed, causing me to mentally chided myself for bringing them up.“There's no need for that,” She replied, shaking her head in negation, “Leah called them already and they didn't answer her phone.”“But can't we sue them for child neglect or something?” I blurted out on a whim.“Sue them?” Diana giggled, “That would be too stressful. Plus I don't have a lawyer and all.”“I can always get you one, baby girl,” I responded, giving her hands firm yet gentle squeeze

Diana’s POV I was scrolling through my departmental group chat in utter boredom when a knock came on my bedroom door.After my dad was buried yesterday, I couldn't go back to the apartment as it was too late when the whole funeral ended.Thus, I'd decided to head back today.“Come in,” I said, clearly aware that it was my mother at the door.To my utter surprise, she walked in with a tray of pancakes, maple syrup and bacon, “Good morning, sweetie. I brought you breakfast in bed.”The last time mum cooked for me was probably when I was a toddler.But then again, I had attended boarding schools all my life, so I never really had the chance to live at home.Seeing her make an effort to atone for her mistakes warmed my heart, but deep down, I couldn't help but wonder why she couldn't just be like this from the start.For a moment, I considered telling her that I wasn't interested in eating her food, however, my stomach grumbling put an instant end to that.I was so embarrassed at that mo
