Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 96

Many crazy things have taken place today and | was beyond exhausted of the day entirely but meeting Jessica and the quaint Chinese restaurant was not how | expected to bring my day to a close.

Jessica now stood in front of me on the side walk with the light coming from the restaurant and the street light illuminating the area enough for us to see each other.

“What's up?” | asked after a short pause. Jessica had been dressed in the most formal attire that | had ever seen her in. Well, I've only seen her once in

person and the rest of the times that | did see her had been in internet articles. Nevertheless, all of those times she had been dressed up in some thing low cut or a little on the shorter, more fitted side and not even close to the pin striped pants she had matched with a dark blouse and a blazer thrown over her shoulders.

“| know it isn’t my place at all but | really need to say it.” | felt my brows furrow together on a frown with no clue as to what she was talking about.

“It's alright. Go on.” | urged wanting to kill the suspense before it killed me.

Jessica hesitated for a little bit before she inhaled and found the courage she was looking for. When she found it, she looked at me with determination in her eyes that narrowed in on me.

“| don’t know what exactly caused the fall out between Dante and you but | do hope that it is mendable.” Oh. | was certainly not expecting that to be the topic of conversation.

“What ever do you mean?” | asked, my confusion displaying itself. She cleared her throat while she searched for some other, perhaps least offensive, way to say what ever it is that had been on her mind.

“Look, | know things got bitter between him and you for a while with Pheobe pitching back up in his life and messing every thing up but | see how he regrets it with every ounce of his being.” There was so much of pain in her tone like she had witnessed Dante’s suffering herself and found it unbearable.

“He does?” Was all | could manage to say. Not only was bumping in to her here such a surprise but this conversation was just as out of sorts.

Jessica nodded. “Terribly. I’m not here to advocate for him and defend his wrongs but if there is even a small chance that the both of you could sit down and let bygones be bygones, maybe you'll find more than you can imagine.” Her eyes looked like she knew so much more but her pursed lips indicated that she couldn’t say too much with out betraying the confiding that had been done in trust.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It would be lovely for little Hayley to have her parents under one roof living happily together.” She added tenderly and it was easy to tell that she had grown fond of Hayley on the few encounters they had shared.

“| don’t know how true the recent gossip in the tabloids are but | do know better than to believe every thing! read in the media and it is why | didn’t buy the story about you and Scott one bit from the second | saw it.” Jessica’s defined jaw ticked before her eyes met mine with a seriousness to them. “But | can’t say the same for

Dante. The man has convinced himself of many rediculous theories and outcomes which | am quite sure isn’t the least bit true.” She didn’t elaborate on them and | itched to know what had been going on in Dante’s head.

| knew that he was not pleased when | left the other night to have that dinner with Scott and | also knew that he had been avoiding me ever since. Naturally | thought it was because of the headlines that emerged the morning

after and not because he had convinced himself of alternates that were far from the truth itself.

“I-L have been trying to contact him for the last two days now but he does not take or return any of my calls.” | informed her and she nodded like she had already knew about that.

“And that is because he thinks that you have made your choice and he is entirely out of the picture. | can’t really tell you at what point during your on and off relationship did he fall in love with you but he did and he is just too full of himself, too prideful, to be up front and say it.” Jessica’s eyes softened but they were still sincere making sure that | had believed what she had said and knew that she was speaking the truth.

It wasn’t that | had written Dante off entirely but | wanted him to grovel and beg and realise what a mistake he had made and, judo what Jessica had said, it sounded like he did.

However, | needed more than just his cousins word for it and | needed to see it all for myself. | spent years loving Dante like a mad woman and with out sense and clear logic but now it was different. | saw him for who he was and not the person | made him up to be in my head.

“Just find him and clear this all out.” She said looking at her watch like she needed to leave now. “| will. Thank you, Jessica, for telling me this.” | said to her with a small smile.

“lam only trying to help.” He adjusted her food packet in her hand. “Please give my love to Hayley and tell her that | will visit her very soon.” She said before turned around and walking to her car that had been parked a few
