Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

CHAPTER 38



Blair kept admiring the place and saying nice things about it.

“Should we order now or should I take you to meet her first?” He asked her.

“I want to meet her first,” she said and smiled.

“Alright then” he replied.

He got up from the chair and went over to help her up.

Dylan led her to the back of the restaurant where his godmother’s office was located.

He knocked on her door and waited for her response before going in.

“Oh my, Dylan! I didn’t think you would come today” she squealed.

“I wanted to surprise you,” he answered and hugged her.

Blair stood and watched their surprising display of affections. She barely saw Dylan so chirpy and happy with someone that is not her.

She started to think that maybe he didn’t completely hate everyone.

“Come darling” the older woman called for her.

She continued to admire Dylan’s godmother. The older woman seemed to be in her early 60s and she was beautiful indeed. She was an emission of beauty and grace. Her charisma at her age marveled Blair too.

“Good Day ma’am” she moved closer to the woman and gave her a hug.

It was warm and cozy in her arms and Blair decided that she liked her.

“How are you my dear? Ever since the wedding I never saw you and I couldn’t even talk to you because of the circumstances then” she explained.

The woman probably understood the atmosphere then.

“I’m very well. And I’m sorry that we weren’t able to chat during the wedding” she apologized.

The wedding then was intense and she didn’t know anyone in his family until after a few months of being together. The only people she knew were his parents.

“It’s okay my darling I understand everything. But I’m glad that you’re here, do you like it here?” The older woman asked.

“Oh yes I do! I wanted to compliment you just now! I like the designs and the fact that you really love the antiques that you used. Really made the restaurant feel calm and cool” Blair complimented.

The older woman’s eyes twinkled.

“Oh thank you so much Blair! I’m so glad that you like it. People don’t usually comment on the interior decor here. It’s nice that you did, I’ll keep it up” she said.

“It’s alright ma’am” she laughed.

“It’s Naina. That’s what your husband here calls me. He’s called me that ever since he was a child” she said.

“Oh okay ma’am- uh Abby. I have to get used to that” she smiled.

Dylan just smiled at them. He was fascinated by how well they clicked. Then again his wonderful godmother was amazing.

“Yes. Now you should both enjoy your lunch together. Have you seen the table that I prepared?” She asked.

“Yes Naina. We have, Blair wanted to greet you before we ate” he told his godmother.

“I hope you’re okay now Blair?” He turned to ask Blair.

“Yes I am, thank you for bringing me to her” she thanked him.

“Alright then. Thank you for having us Naina” he hugged her again.

“You’re welcome my dears. Now Blair I would like to invite you both to my house for dinner on Sunday” she said.

“Thank you Naina, we’ll be there” Blair answered.

“Alright darling, have fun and enjoy the rest of your day” She said.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“We will Naina, bye” Dylan kissed her cheeks and Blair hugged her once more.

Dylan led Blair out of the office. They walked back to their table and ordered their food.

Later they ordered dessert to go because they were both filled.

Blair carried the bag with her to the car, Dylan followed behind her.

He opened her door for her and she got in. He then turned around to open his door after which he switched on the engine and drove away from the restaurant.

“Thank you Dylan. For bringing me here” she said.

“It’s okay Blair, you guys clicked so fast” he chuckled.

“We did. She was accommodating and nice and very beautiful too” she said.

“That’s Naina for you. She’s always been like that ever since I knew her, she’s a happy soul. And she lost her husband long ago, it broke her and she almost lost herself. She has three children but I’m not quite sure you’ve met them one on one” he explained.

“Wow, I’m not sure either. I think I like her already and I’m sorry about her husband. Must have been hard, can’t imagine” she said.

“Yeah. But we were there for her, and did everything we could to support her” he said.

“That’s what certainly brought her back, you guys” she rubbed his arm and he smiled at her.

“The food was really delicious as well. I enjoyed everything and just so you know this desert belongs to me”

“Yes Blair, she made the recipes. You’re not the only good cook you know. Since we’re visiting on Sunday you’ll see what I mean” he replied.

“Yeah. Can’t wait” she said.

“I love you Blair,” he said.

“I love you more darling” she answered.

They finally got home and decided to rest a bit.

Dylan had work to finish so he went to his office to complete his work.

Blair arranged their room and cleaned it. She didn’t really have much to do so she decided to read a book.

As usual Blair fell asleep while she read. She hadn’t even gone halfway through it.

That rest of the day was calm and in the evening Blair woke up. She felt the other side of the bed for Dylan but he wasn’t there.

He must still be working, she thought.

She went to the bathroom to do her usual wake up from a nap routine.

Then she left for his office, she knocked and waited for a response before she opened the door.

“Hey” Dylan greeted first and smiled at her.

“Hey. I thought you’d be done by now, aren’t you tired? And hungry? I was thinking of ordering Chinese, is that okay?” She asked as she rushed her words.

She was in front of his desk and she held onto it for support.

He watched her and smiled.

“I’m almost done Blair. I have just a few paperwork left to sign. And yes my love you can order chinese, I’ve actually been craving those for a while now” he told her.

“I’ll give you an hour more and after that I’m stealing you away from all this work. You should be with me and not buried in work” she complained and he chuckled.

“Do you miss me that bad?” he asked.

“I do. What?” She scoffed.

“Nothing” he got up from his chair and walked towards where she stood.

He held her waist and pulled her close to him and she wrapped her arms around him.

He pinched her cheeks and her nose and she scrunched her face.

“Ow” she rubbed her cheeks, Dylan chuckled.

“I miss you too. And I promise to finish my work in an hour or before then” he said.

“Promise?” She played with his long hair.

“Promise” he rubbed circles on her waist with both his thumb.

“Alright. I’ll order the food in 30 minutes then” she said.

“Okay. Plan to stuff you with food though” he said.

“What! Don’t be silly Dylan, I’m not planning to be fat” she complained and hit his arm. He laughed.

“No you won’t be fat. I just want you to be healthy, baby, your eyes are hollow and I don’t like that. I know you barely ate in that condition” he answered her.

“I know, I understand. And yes I barely ate, I admit” She confessed.

“Should I bring back the help? The cook? Everyone? I don’t want you stressing yourself doing strenuous work that can be done by the people we employed” he asked her.

Dylan only wanted to make her feel comfortable and not stressed.

“Dylan. It’s okay, okay you can bring them back later. But for now I want us both to be alone here. I want to spend as much time as I can with you. Remember we still have work to do concerning Samantha, what if it requires me to leave you for a while?” She reasoned.

Blair was right about that last part, he thought.

“You’re right. As much as I don’t want to think about that part, it’s true” he rested his forehead on hers and sighed.

“I love you Dylan” she cooed and hugged him.

“I love you more each day my love” he breathed her scent in.

They stayed like that for a while.

“You’re squeezing me Dylan” she muffled and he laughed.

“Sorry baby,” he laughed.

She chuckled.

“I’ll go now. Finish up and come down or else- I’m not playing Dylan” she threatened him playfully.

“Yes ma’am” he raised his two hands up.

She left for their room to get her phone. As she was about to pick it up it rang, it was Samantha.

Blair gulped, she let out a breath before she picked the call.

“Blair! How are you?” She asked.

“Hi Sam. Uh I’m fine and you?” Blair asked her as she sat on her bed.

“I’m okay. I went over to Richard’s place to visit you but he said you left” she told her.

Blair wasn’t sure if she should play along with her or just tell her the truth. She didn’t know if Samantha knew that she found out the truth. Blair decided to play along and act like she didn’t know anything.

“Uhh yeah I had to go cause uh I didn’t want to keep inconveniencing him” Blair responded.

“Oh oh I see. Did you go home to Dylan?” She asked.

“No no. I um I’m alone right now” she answered, as she bite hair nails. She hoped that Samantha wouldn’t ask where exactly she was.

“Oh alright, you should have come to stay with me then Blair. You know I always love having you around” she responded.

“I’m fine Sam. It’s okay and besides I feel like I need time aline for a while before making a decision” Blair told her.

“Alright. Let me know if you need anything and if you want me to visit” she answered.

“Thank you Sam really. I appreciate it” Blair responded.

“It’s okay Blair I’ve got to go now. Byee love” she squeaked.

“Byee Sam” Blair said.

“Samantha called?” Dylan spoke, Blair jumped.

“Oh Dylan, yeah she did. I wanted to call the restaurant when her call came in” she answered.

“Does she suspect anything?” He asked as he rubbed her back.

“I’m not sure and that is if Richard hasn’t told her any funny business” she fidgeted with her phone.

“How did she sound?” He asked.

“She sounded normal, probably pretending” she said.

“It’s okay Blair, I’m not sure Richard would want her to find out. He wouldn’t risk that, he’s a coward” he assured her.

“Are you sure Dylan? He seemed like different person that day. He seemed to be crazy Dylan, it was a miracle I left there unscathed” she panicked.

“Can his craziness be compared to mine? I’m sure you know the answer to that and he would regret laying his filthy hands on you if he ever did” he told her calmly and it worked.

Dylan was right. He was crazy, like mental crazy. He went crazy in the weirdest times, when you didn’t expect him to.

She didn’t think Richard matched that and she knew he would definitely be dead if he layed a hand on her.

“I already called the restaurant as soon as I saw that you were on the phone. The food will be here soon” he told her as he stared into her eyes.

He saw that she was scared.

“Blair as long as I’m alive no one will be able to touch you or mess with you. I’ll make they never see the light of day” he assured.

“Let’s go downstairs Blair. The delivery might get here soon” Dylan said but still held her in his arms.

Blair hugged him back.

“I love you” she told him.

“I love you too,” Blair answered.

They both left the room and went downstairs to eat.

Their doorbell rang and Dylan went to check, it was the delivery guy.

“Good evening sir” the man greeted.

“Good evening,” Dylan answered.

Tha man handed Dylan the food package.

Dylan collected it from the man and signed, he then closed the door after the man left.

Blair was waiting for him in the living room. He carried the package over to her.

“Your package has been delivered milady” he formed a British accent.
