Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 54

Chapter 54 The next week had gone by in a flash but it had been a rather good week.

Work had been running smoothly but feedback had finally arrived about the analysis progress. A meeting date was set once again and was to be held in the following week to confirm the growth. percentage which determined a great deal for the company.

Dante naturally was already made known about this meeting before | had a say in it because as vital investor he gets to know about every meeting about the same tim

Ido.

Things were shifting with him in a way that | never thought it would in such a sort span of time. Dante had become more considerate in regards to me when he made plans with Hayley. He’d often ask Hayley to offer me to join or he would ask directly. A few times | actually went along with them. on their little escapades and other times | would decline to give them time alone.

Dante was also more mindful of the structure of the activities that he planned for Hayley. If one day was more activity filled then the next was more laid back or if the morning was more energy consuming then the afternoon would be for rest. It had taken the strain of Hayley’s legs and reduced the risk and likelihood of one of those episodes occuring again.

| could see why Hayley was so overjoyed to go out with Dante. On the few occasions that | had. accompanied them, | noticed how Dante gave his undivided attention when he was with Hayley. It was like she was the most important thing to him. No cell- phone calls, no work talk, and no unpleasantness. He wasn’t overly nice and fun filled. In fact, he did spend a great amount of time trying to teach her new things from the rules of chess to things about how things operated.

Their last endeavour included pajamas and a Disney princess movie which they watched at Dante’s house and Hayley was very eager about it.

It did not go unnoticed that Hayley enjoyed things more when it was the three of us that were a part of things. | knew that she was still hung up on the whole us being together as a family and it was only natural for a child her age dealing with such a dynamic to want such things that were normal.

| could tell that she could not understand why Dante and | were not together as a mom and dad ought to have been living under one roof, eating meals together regularly, having parents share a room. It was because she was unaware of the complications that had taken place that caused Dante and | to divorce before she was born.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

But neither one of us dabbled in to that discussion again and it was a good thing that despite Hayley’s obvious sentiments, she did not verbally bring it up again.

“What was the best vacation you’ve ever been on?” Hayley’s voice dragged me out my reverie as she coloured in the waterfall amidst the greenery.

It was a late Friday afternoon and the sunset was truly something to behold so Hayley picked up some crayons and we both headed out to the garden so take it all in.

“When | was a little younger, | went to this resort a few hours from here. It was amazing. | felt like | was on some tropical island.” It was at the same vacation that Dante had nearly drowned but | left that part out of the story not wanting to bring up the thought of Dante and | in the past that would

“It had the largest pools and a spa and even a private beach just for the people who stayed on the resort. | think that was the last vacation | had been to.” | realised that only after | spoke.

Things had gotten tense in my life after that. Between Pheobe and Portia bullying the living hell out of me even harder and me walking out on them months later. | didn’t have the luxury or liberty to just go on a vacation after that.

“I saw a movie the other day where this family went on a vacation together in the summer. It looked like such fun but | have never been on vacation before.” Hayley said as she coloured in the rocks around the water fall.

She didn’t sound sad or like she was trying to guild trip me but she was genuinely just pointing out a fact that had occured to her. “| think we should remedy that.” Said a voice that made both Hayley and | jump in our place.

| placed my hand over my chest to steady myself from the startle. Hayley cheered loudly when she spotted Dante and her face lit up as always when she entered a space.

“A little arrival warning would be appreciated.” | said breathlessly. “You nearly scared me out of my own skin.” | said dramatically and Hayley threw me a blank look calling me out.

“It never gets old.” Dante winked at me before pulling the wooden chair next to Hayley.

“| couldn’t help but hear you say how you've never been on a vacation ever and | think it’s time we remedy that | blinked a few times as | heard him.

Hayley had already dropped her crayon and turned her full attention to him. |, on the other hand, crossed my arms over my chest waiting for him to acknowledge my disapproval for the lack of consultation before deciding to take her on a vacation.

Dante pulled open his blazer jacket and retrieved a brochure from the pocket on the inside. “A week at the white hotel in Santorini.” He pushed the brochure at Hayley to take a look at the place and she eagerly opened the tri-folded paper and her eyes widened in amazement,
