CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 67 The report

BOWLING ALLEY, LOS ANGELES.

Leo sat grimly looking displeased, everything Aaron did and jubilated over was beginning to get to him in an annoying way. He can’t seem to concentrate on anything, the more he tries to distract himself, the more her words keep haunting him.

Aaron stood up with both of his hands on his waist as he observed his friend. “Are you really going to sit all day and sulk?”

“She practically tossed me out of her house.” He whined.

“Of course you deserve to be tossed out. You shouldn’t have gotten too comfortable considering the strain between you guys. You deserve all that you got.”

“I do know you have a grudge against me. But you could have held back on it just up until I have had enough of whining. You are really the worst type of friend to have in cases like this.”

Aaron exhaled as he sat next to his friend. “Why are you intentionally digging into a wound that would never heal, Leo? Why do you keep doing this to yourself? Like I have always said, you and Darby are on different paths right now and there is nothing you can do about it. Why not just suck it up and learn to live with this.”

“But I am doing just that.”

“By trying hard to stay by Darby’s side when your wife is at home losing her mind over your sudden coldness. Even though you were never exactly warm, at least she had a bit of your attention. Did you even bother to apologize this morning when you left home?”

“She is the one who owes me an apology for refusing to understand that I was in a worried state yesterday over my son.”

“Chloe is just like every woman when they are blinded by jealousy, they tend to know a bit much and there is nothing you can do about it except play along.”

“How and when did you get to learn so much?”

“It cost me the woman of my dreams.” He snickered.

Leo laughed loudly. “I can imagine you blowing your trumpet out if proportion. You can be really stupid like that.”

“I don’t find that funny.” Aaron growled at him.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am still better at this game than you are. All you have ever done is toy with hearts and I am here mending it all.”

“Keep fooling yourself.” He hissed.

A phone rang loudly getting their attention, Leo realized it was his and he groaned loudly at the caller.

“Who is it?” Aaron questioned in a whisper.

“My mom.” Leo answered in a strained voice. Finally picking up, he exhaled tiredly and put the phone on speaker ‘Mom.’

‘Get your ass down to my house this minute!’ She ordered and the line went off.

“Ooh, that’s fierce!” Aaron commented covering his mouth with his hand.

Leo glared at him. “You just wouldn’t let it pass right?”

“What? What did I do?”

A mischievous smirk appeared on his face. “You know on a second thought, you are coming with me.”

“Hell no!” Aaron yelled, making an attempt to run off, however Leo was quick to grab a hold of his shirt.

“Not so fast, my man. We are leaving this minute. I will buy you pizza.”

“I don’t want your fucking pizza!” He countered. If there is anyone he fears the most in his entire life, it is Leo’s mother. Grace is an epitome of intimidation, you dare not blink twice. “Please, Leo. I promise to do anything else you want, but please don’t let me go to your mom with you. Please.”

“You don’t have any other choice, Aaron. I thought we were best friends?”

“I already renounced the position an hour ago.”

Leo ignored his complaints and dragged him along to the car, thankfully Leo had been the one who drove them to the bowling alley. “You are stuck with me for life. I have a feeling Chloe has a hand in this, she probably reported me to her.”

“Of course she did. Chloe has a witch like behavior just like your mom. It’s no wonder they are friendly towards each other.”

A snotty laugh escaped Leo’s lips. “Are you crazy? Why would you call my mom and wife a witch?” He inquired igniting the car.

“Tell me you haven’t been wishing to call them that?” Aaron wiggled his brows.

“You are nothing short of a bad influence. Now I will like to plead with you, Aaron. Do your very best to ignore whatever my mom say. Please don’t say anything in return or you will make me lose my mind like that.”

“Losing your mind feels good. I won’t sit back if Chloe tries to talk back at me.”

“Can you just plug in your pods then. Please do this for me, Aaron.”

“Only because you begged.” He snickered.

“Well, thank you my friend.” Leo mused shaking his head in laughter.

Just as he had thought, Chloe was at his mother’s house and the both of them seem to be having a good time obviously gossiping about him.

“I can’t believe he brought him along.” Chloe sucked her teeth at the sight of Aaron.

“Don’t please.” Leo begged his friend when he attempted to respond.

Grace crossed her leg gingerly with her eyes glued to Aaron. “Has it gotten to that now? You hide behind your friend and refusing to say hello to me.”

Aaron grinned making a silly face as he made his way towards her with outstretched arms. “I thought you minded my presence.”

She slapped his shoulder, hugging him. “You silly goose. Need I add that I am very angry with you.”

He gasped dramatically. “What did I do?”

“Why haven’t you been talking sense to your friend? Leo hasn’t been of his best behavior for weeks now.” Said Grace.

“You sound like I am a child.” Leo retorted.

Chloe scoffed, “Aaron himself need tutoring, how will someone like him be able to give good advice when his attitude is nothing to write home about.”

The room tensed up with Aaron and Chloe holding a staring contest and each person probably hallucinating on killing off the other.

“That’s enough, Chloe. I won’t have you disrespect my friend.” Leo warned. “Anyways, mom why did you call me here?”

Grace exhaled standing up, “I would like to have a word with you in my study.” She said, heading to the place.

Leo turned to his wife and friend. “Can I trust you both to not tear each other down till I return?” None of them responded to him, he decided to trust them and take their silence as a yes hoping for his sake they wouldn’t do anything stupid to each other. Shaking his head he went after his mother.

Aaron smacked his lips after Leo left, he has been hoping for a day when he would get to be alone with Chloe and probably tell her a piece of his mind. He didn’t think it would come so soon.

“You do know how annoying you are as a person?”

Chloe hissed. “Like you are any better, it’s your fault that Leo puts up so many acts. I’m sure you are the one turning him against me.”

“How about you check your sour attitude for a change? It would be your fault if he decides that he wants nothing to do with you.”

“Mind the way you speak to me, Aaron.” She growled with a teary eye.

“Don’t play that victim shit with me. I am not Leo. This is why he feels stuck with you, you are always trying to act offended when it’s clearly obvious that you are the one in the wrong. I hope he learns his lesson soon.”

“I hate you, Aaron. I hate you with every fibre in me.”

“The feeling is mutual, baby. If you will please excuse me, I need a smoke.” He snorted heading back out.

Even though he doesn’t smoke he would say just about anything to avoid being in Chloe’s presence. She is so annoying.
