CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 38 Cute baby boy

ROBINS FAMILY HOME, LOS ANGELES.

Leo tapped his feet anxiously on the floor taking a swing at the beer in his hand. All through last night he couldn’t get a good sleep and he couldn’t reach Aaron either. The college basketball team have an ongoing game in Texas and it seem impossible to reach him. It’s no wonder that he had responded to his father’s call to come by the house after work without any hesitation.

He can’t seem to get over the thought of Chloe going as far as harassing Darby when she did absolutely nothing wrong. It just goes to show how much of a coward Chloe is and her inability to face him instead. Leo never would have thought she would stoop so low to act. Taking another gulp from the beer bottle, Leo exhaled deeply.

“You look so drained. How much do you have running through your mind?” His father inquired, pulling at the stool next to him. “The bar has different sort of options for this kind of mood you are in. Why did you go for the beer instead?” Ethan asked reaching out to the wine rack for a whiskey. Getting himself a glass he poured the content into it.

Leo threw his head to the back as he rubbed at his neck. “I just felt like it’s the one thing I definitely need.”

“How is Chloe?” Ethan asked observing him quietly.

“Don’t ask me, dad. She really overstepped her boundary this time around.”

“Do you think she overreacted?”

“It would have been best if it was just me she chose to disrespect. Chloe went to meet Darby and I am very sure she was violent. You can see how handsy she is.”

Ethan sighed. “Of you would take a leaf from my experienced tree. I think it’s best if you sort things out with Chloe. You actually lied to her if you are being sincere. You both met with this woman and you didn’t think it was right to say something about it. Whether you were sure of the child or not. I have made different mistakes, might be nothing like yours. But one thing I have definitely learnt is that you need to admit to your wrongs for peace to reign.”

“Dad.” Leo called out in frustration. “That still doesn’t give Chloe the right to pull an attack on Darby. My meeting with my son is in Darby’s hands and she can chose to deprive me of that. I wouldn’t be able to do anything after all, it’s not like I acknowledged the child at first.”

“But did she?”

“Dad…”

“Did she refuse you the chance to see your son, Leo?”

He huffed. “No, dad.”

“Hmmn.” Ethan nodded, taking a sip of his whiskey. “She is a sensible woman.”

Leo chuckled. “Aaron has said that once before.”

“Listen, son. I do understand how hard it is for you right now. But you need to face your mess with courage and sort it all out. I know you are very reasonable and there is no need for me to tell you too much. I just thought you might need someone to talk to is why I invited you over. Also you should stay for dinner, we missed it yesterday. Also, I will like to see my grandson. Thank you.” He grinned, patting Leo’s shoulder as he walked away.

Leo was almost startled off the stool when Scarlett booed at his back. He rolled his eyes. “Can you quit being so silly?”

Scarlett laughed loudly, occupying the stool her father stood up from. Tilting her head she held a weak smile. “How are you?”

Snorting, he bowed his head a bit playing with the beer bottle. “You are the very first to ask me that. I don’t know how I am, Scar. I just know it’s all messy right now.”

“I hope part of what you call a mess includes Chloe refusing to continue with the wedding?” She mused, staring expectantly at Leo.

“You want it that bad?”

“Of course, I do. I have never seen you look so happy in a long while. When you were talking about Sinclair it felt like you found your world. I really can’t wait to meet the little one.”

“We would be going on an ice cream date on Saturday. Will you like to come?”

She squealed in delight. “I would definitely love to. How about the mother?”

Leo kept quiet at the reminder of Darby. As much as he tries hard to not move in that direction, he finds himself wishing to turn back the hands if time. If only he had acted reasonable things would have turn out well and he wouldn’t be subjected to pleading with Chloe over the existence of his son.

“She is fine, I guess.” He shrugged.

Observing his facial features, Scarlett grinned to herself. She could tell there is more to his thoughts than he is letting on. But she had no intention to probe him considering the new found source of happiness in his life. It has to be taken one step at a time.

“I still don’t think Chloe is right for you. But probably she does deserve an apology.” She said.

He shook his head in disapproval. “No, I won’t so that. I’m definitely not going to allow such disrespect. She went ahead to have a face off with Sinclair’s mother. She has to be sorry for every of her action I don’t care how long it will take.”

Scarlett nodded proudly. “Now that sounds like my brother speaking. You shouldn’t take any kind of bullshit from her.”

“Scarlett.” He warned.

“What?” She shrugged defiantly.

“I know you don’t agree to my relationship with Chloe and all. But please do me a favor and show her some respect. She does deserve that please.”

“Only because you asked.” Scarlett pouted.

Ruffling her hair, Leo laughed. “You silly goose.” His phone message notification dinged, bringing the phone out a bright smile appeared on his face. It’s a video message from Sinclair. He tapped on it beckoning to Scarlett. “Come see, my son sent me a video.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Scarlett scampered closely to him, the video came on showing Sinclair. “See what I did with my legos daddy.” His tiny voice bellowed as he showed off the tall line of Legos he molded.

“Oh my God! He is so cute.” Scarlett admitted covering her mouth. “And he looks so much like you.”

“No doubt!” Leo mumbled, grinning from ear to ear. “I have never seen a creature look so beautiful like him. It makes me want to cry.” He sniffed.

Nudging his side, Scarlett made a face at him. “I didn’t take you to be the emotional type.”

“I just can’t help it, Scar. Isn’t it surprising that I feel so over the top for a child that I only learnt of his existence few weeks ago?”

“I guess this is where the saying blood is thicker than water applies. It’s nature’s call, you can’t help it.”

“I was so scared he would cry and run away from the first time I met him. But the very moment Darby told him I was his daddy, it’s almost like I have always been there with him and not absent after so long. I feel so indebted to Darby for grooming such sweet soul.”

“We should all have a Darby in our lives then.” Scarlett teased.

“A Chloe is just fine.” He retorted laughing.

“How about we make our way to the dining, dinner must be ready and mom also must be planning my demise.”

“I’m sorry, why?”

“For not helping in the kitchen of course.” She let out her tongue making a clown face.

“I don’t know how Evelyn copes with you, you are such a deviant.” Leo laughed.

“It’s not my fault she loves cooking. We have just enough money to let the helps do those things but she just loves getting in the way.” Scarlett huffed.

“I will be sure to tell her what you just said.” He threatened jokingly.

She did a mock bow. “The pleasure would be totally mine.”

Leo pulled her by the arm keeping her head under his armpit. “You brute.” The both of them laughed hard as he ruffled her hair.
