Planned Baby

Chapter 49 BOYFRIEND

“Ulie…” I can’t utter anything but his name.

Ulie’s words are giving so much warmth to my heart. He sounded so sincere. I can’t help myself but grab his face and give him a soft kiss. I was hoping that through my kiss he was able to feel the words I can’t utter.

“I will never marry anyone but you, my Quinn. Don’t ever forget that.” Ulie added.

I nodded at him. He went to me again and kiss me, a more passionate kiss. I kiss him back with the same passion and intensity.

“I love you, Penelope Quinn Cabello,” Ulie said after our kiss.

I smile at him and caress his face. “I love you too Kade Ulysses Escarrer.”

Ulie eyes widen. “Y-you love me too?”

I chuckled. “I never stop loving you. Well, I thought I did, but I was wrong.”

“I always thought that the reason why I am not letting anyone be in my life is that I got traumatized from my first heartbreak. But the truth is, even if you hurt me big time, my heart still longs for you.” I confessed to him.

“I’m sorry that I hurt you before, I'm sorry because I can’t remember our past, I don’t know how to make it up to you. But I promise you that I will do my best to be deserving of your love. I love you my Quinn, more than my life. I will never get tired of telling that to you.”

I never thought that I will end up with Ulie. He was my first and only love. I thank God for giving us a chance to be together. I’m thanking Him for giving him to me despite my crazy plan before.

I knew that God never wants me to have a child without marriage. But still, He made a way so that my crazy plan will lead me to my happily-ever-after. Although, it's not that easy.

Making our relationship official is only a first step to our happily-ever-after because I know that we will face many challenges and one of those is Hadley.

We were cuddling when Ulie asks me a question.

“Are you my girlfriend now?”

I laughed at his question. “No, we’re not.” I teased him.

“What?!”

I laughed again, this time a bit louder. I saw Ulie pout. I grab her face and gave him a quick kiss.

”What kind of question is that? Of course, I’m your girlfriend now. I already told you that I love you!” I said to him a matter of fact.

“I just want to hear it from you.” Ulie sweetly said.

I smile at him. But I remember Hadley’s statement about the twins.

“Ulie did you show Alistair and Amelia’s photos to Hadley?” I asked curiously.

Ulie nodded. “I did.”

I glared at him. “Why did you show her the twin's picture?!”

“Because she asks for it. And I don't see anything wrong with that. I told her that you look like Alistair while Amelia looks like me. She even envies me for having beautiful children.” Ulie explained.

I rolled my eyes. “She envies you to the point that she wants to have a child with you!” I hissed.

“She said that?”

I nodded a bit irritated when I remember how dreamy and confident she was when she said that.

“Don’t mind her my Quinn. It was just her delusion.”

I woke up a bit late. It’s a long time since I had a good of sleep after Hadley made a threat in my office.

“Mom hurry up! Dad cooks breakfast for us!” Amelia said when she saw me arriving at the dining area.

“Good morning my Quinn!” Ulie greeted me and give me a quick peck on my lips.

I softly slap him. “The kids are watching.”

“D-did Dad kiss our mom on the lips?” Alistair innocently asked his twin.

“Oh yes, Alistair! Dad did!” Amelia said while giggling.

I shook my head, I'm very sure that Amelia will ask us none-stop.

“Dad, why did kiss our mom?” Alistair ask.

“Because your mom is my girlfriend now!” Ulie happily announced.

The twins scream from what they heard.

“Is this mean that mom will have the same surname as us dad?” Amelia excitedly asks.

“Soon my princess,” Ulie said then he winked at me.

My face reddened.

“Can’t we change it now dad? All my classmates’ mom has the same surname as them. Alistair and I are the only ones who had a different surname with our mom.” Amelia pouted her lips.

I kind of feel hurt from what Amelia had said. It didn't come to me that they had an issue with our surnames. I know that in a way we are different from other families because Ulie and I are not really together before. But I thought that being in the same house together and being a great parent to them is enough.

I suddenly felt sorry for them. It's all because of my selfishness. If I didn't make this crazy plan, they will not experience this kind of setup.

“Don’t worry princess, you and Alistair will surely have the same surname as your mom. Just wait for the perfect time.” Ulie said to console Amelia.

“Okay dad, but I hope it will happen very soon. I can’t wait to tell my classmate about it!” Amelia said with full of hope.

After our breakfast, Ulie requested to drive to my office. Who am I to say no to that request?

We first drop the kids off at school.

“Thank you for consoling Amelia a while ago,” I told Ulie while he was driving me to my office.

“It’s my job as her dad to assure her of her concern. And I will surely make it happen. I will definitely replace your surname with Escarrer.” Ulie said then he winked at me.

I feel the butterfly on my stomach. My heart is so full from all Ulie’s sweet words.

“We need to handle Hadley first.”

He frowned. “I already did my part on making her understand that I don’t have feelings for her and the only woman I love is you my Quinn.”

“But still, I want everything is settled before marrying you,” I told him. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Wow Ellie, so you already told Ulie that you are ready to marry him. He hasn't proposed to you yet!

But he said that he will definitely change my surname. It can be considered at proposal right? I asked myself.

“I can marry you right now Ellie if you allow me to. But I know you deserve more. I haven’t given you a proper marriage proposal yet. I will make sure to make one that you will never forget.” Ulie promised me and then he holds my hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it.

I was still on cloud nine when Luna went to my office.

“You look so happy right now. It's very different from your aura yesterday.” Luna noticed.

I smile and nodded at her. “Ulie and I talk about his allegedly secret date with Hadley. He explains everything to me.”

“It was far from what Hadley wanted to show to the reporter yesterday,” I added.

I share with her what Ulie told me last night. What really happened in that meeting.

“I’m not surprised. I know that Hadley was just delusional!” Luna commented.

I laughed at Luna’s remark. She really hates Hadley.

“But I am not sure if you will still be happy with what will I show you,” Luna said then she hands me the newspaper.

Ulie and Hadley were on the headline. It was their picture in the restaurant. If Ulie and I didn't talk last night, I might believe these photos.

“I bet she plans all this!” Luna said with full of conviction.

“Ulie was the one who asks Hadley to meet him.” I reminded Luna.

“Yes, I know. But according to Ulie, he made sure that his meeting with Hadley will be private. How the hell did the reporter know about the place where Ulie and that snake will meet?”

Luna has a point. And considering that the restaurant that Ulie chose is not ordinary. Only very well- off people can afford to dine in that restaurant.

I only went there when I’m with Ulie. It's not that I can’t afford I but because I don't see the need of spending that much money on a meal.

“Just think about it, friend. If she didn't plan this then why did this news only come now? It's a big scoop. They should have written this headline a day after Ulie met her. But why did they release it just now?”

“I get your point. There is a big possibility that she was behind all these. I’m curious, what is exactly her plan? Did she think that she will get Ulie by doing this?”

“It can be. Maybe she thought that by doing this, she will put pressure on Ulie. But her antics are so cheap!” Luna hissed.

“What do we need to do to make her stop? Ulie already told her that I am the one he loves and he will never love her. She was chasing Ulie for years. Why can’t she accept it?” I said frustratedly.

I don't know if I will hate her or pity her. Hadley was a great woman. She is beautiful, intelligent, and powerful. But she is just wasting her time chasing on a man who can’t love her back.

I hope that she will know her worth.

“I honestly don’t know. Why don't you accept Ulie as your boyfriend? I’m sure that if you guys announced to the press that you are officially a couple, maybe it might help that girl to wake up from her delusion.” Luna suggested.

“Ulie is already my boyfriend,” I told her then smirked.

Luna's eyes widen. “What?!”
