Unexpected Reunion: My Baby Daddy Returns

“Stop wasting much time and come out Ariel.” Mia screamed from the dining area

“But I don’t want to go to school Mummy.”

She entered the room and found her sitting.

” Why don’t you want to go to school?” She asked already knowing the reason.

“My friends don’t love me.”

“That’s not true. They love you so much.”

“That’s not true Mummy.”

” Can I ask you a question dear?”

“Yes Mummy.”

“You know Antonio? How did you meet him.”

“At the park the other day, the puppy was a gift.”

“Do you like him? Is he nice?”she asked.

“He is very nice Mummy. I love being around him. Do you like him Mummy?”Join me

“No my dear. What if I get your puppy from them animal shelter today and agree to see your friend?”

“Really Mummy! I will be so excited. Will you really do that for me?” She asked excitedly.

“Yes…I will get your puppy once I pick you up after school today.”

“Why not now, Mother?”

“You have to go to school that’s why and I have to go to work.”

“Okay mummy, I love you. Also get Mr. Antonio for me and I will do whatever you say.”

“I will think about if.” With those words trailing out of Mia’s lips Ariel rushed to the bathroom to have her bath while Mia left the room to the kitchen.

“I see what you’re doing. That’s very nice of you.” Emma said to her, she was frying pancakes.

Mia looked at her surprised,

” Where you evesdropping on a mother and daughter’s conversation?”

“I live here Mia. I should know everything.”

“I want to do everything for my daughter’s happiness.”

“But you know that’s not enough to forget her father.”

“Don’t add to my worries Emma. This was a hard decision for me.”

“You made the right decision Mia. I understand it’s a slow process.” She left immediately.

The next thing was trying to get ready, she had already taken care of Ariel. During lunch break, she can find out more about Antonio and possibly ask him to visit them just to make Ariel happy. She also planned to leave work early to pick Ariel from school do that they could go to the animal shelter.

Seeing Antonio would be very risky, she thought.

But she had to do everything, Antonio’s presence in Ariel’s life could help her health condition.

She got into her bath tub and began to wash her body, hoping she could be dressed before the next 30 minutes.

“Mummy I’m done. Hurry up or else I will be late.” Mia screamed from the dining area to her mother who was still applying get makeup. Mia who was surprised to hear her daughter finished so early, hurried up with her make up and left her room immediately.

She met Ariel having breakfast, she was all dressed up and ready making her mother real surprised.

“You’re done so quick? Did you dress appropriately?”

“Yes, Mother. Please sit and have your breakfast or you will be the reason for my reason.”

Mia who was astonished said nothing as she drew one of the chairs to sit just opposite Ariel.

“Do you like the pancakes mummy?”

“Yes…I love them Ariel, try taste really good as always.”

“By Saturday we would do baking together. Maybe a cupcake.”

She smiled at her as she watched her talk about all the children in the same grade with her at school . This was the first time Ariel spoke the longest, she was glad Ariel was improving although she knew it was because of her decision to let her take the puppy and to see Antonio.

Mia breathed hard as she hoped she was doing the right decision but she loved her daughter and will do anything for her.

“Mummy?” Ariel called.

“Are you worried about me?”

“No…I mean yes but it’s not wrong for me to worry about my only Child. I love you, Ariel.”

” I love you too mum. Hurry up and finish your breakfast. I will get a spare pencil then wait for you at the driveway.”

“It’s beautiful to watch right?”

“Spare me your scoldings now, I want to enjoy this moment.” Mia said before leaving.

She finished the last slice of toast and quickly brushed her teeth before leaving bthe house. Ariel was already waiting for her. Together they walked the few meters to get a cab.

“Mummy please get a car. I don’t the idea of struggling for a cab after having a good breakfast.”

“One request at a time, young lady.” She laughed as she held Ariel’s tiny fingers.

They got a taxi in no time. Mia dropped Ariel off first before going to the office.

” Did you get my message Mia?” Mr. Lawry, the managing director asked immediately she entered the office building.

” Huh? Sorry. Good morning sir. What message are you talking about?”

” Check your email, Mia. The board of directors are coming and we are having a meeting in the next 5 minutes.”

” 5 Minutes?” She was already panting.

” No need to panick. While you were away we had a meeting with them. They will be here to sign and finalize the deal.” He assured her.

She let out a sigh in relief but still felt anxious, she had heard a lot about the board of directors but have never met any.

” Come along now, the meeting is about to start.”

” They are here sir.” Lina, the secretary said.

I turned to look at the convey outside, just one look and I saw wealth and expensive taste.

There were about 4 cars, the first was a Lamborghini which I loved. It was red and looked elegant, the remaining 3 were classy but I couldn’t remember their names.

All of them halt at the same time, the chauffeur of the first car came out first to open the passenger door.

I stretched my neck to have a glimpse of who was there. He put his shoes out first. Something about them looked farmilar, especially the brand.

The next was his Italian suit, it was grey.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Finally, I saw his full sature and his face. My suspicions were right, it was no other than, Antonio Alastor, heir to the Alastor homes.
