Contract With The Billionaire

Alex’s lips twitched and he smiled at the feeling of his baby in his arms and seeing him up so close.

It was difficult for Mia to control the gasp that escaped her mouth because she saw him smile for the very first time, and the monster truly had a beautiful smile.

“He’s tiny, just like you,” he whispered, and she should’ve taken offence at being called tiny, but in that moment she didn’t even register his words.

The door opened, and Mia looked at Mark and Chloe stepping in.

When her eyes landed back on the father and son duo, she frowned because the smile he had earlier had vanished. What did she expect? For him to keep smiling the whole day?NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Chloe came beside her and hugged her, before looking at the baby in Alex’s arm, while Mark stood beside him.

“I want to hold him.” Mark declared, and Chloe frowned at him.

“I will hold him first, I’m his aunt.” Chloe argued with Mark, and he made a pity face at her.

“So what am I? A stranger?” Mark asked as he scoffed, and Chloe wanted to hit him.

Mia looked at them with a smile and shook her head, whereas Alex cared less and kept staring at their baby in his arms with love.

“No one is going to hold him, he’s mine, so both of you shut up.” Alex declared, and Mia pursed her lips to stop the laugh that threatened to escape her lip.

Chloe and Mark glared at Alex, who didn’t even notice it.

The door opened, and the nurse walked in, grabbing all their attention. She stood before Alex and smiled at him.

“Can I please take the baby for some regular tests?” She asked politely, and Alex nodded, handing over the baby to her.

After she left, the four of them looked here and there, making the atmosphere awkward.

“Okay, until he comes back, has anyone thought of a name?” Mark asked, breaking the tension in the air.

Chloe sat beside Mia’s bed and asked her through her eyes, to which Mia just blinked.

“I have.” Mia whispered, and Alex looked at her, as did Mark and Chloe.

“Bryan Ian.” She announced with a smile, and Alex could feel a smile forming on his lips yet again.

He couldn’t stop it, even if he tried, or maybe he couldn’t stop the emotions that attacked him all of a sudden.

“And why, Bryan?” Mark asked with a grin, and Mia smiled at him.

“Bryan means strong and virtuous. From here marks the new beginning of our lives, and I can’t be more thankful to have him by my side.” She answered, as she looked away immediately and Alex stared at her. Her teary eyes didn’t go unnoticed by anyone, but no one commented about it.

The nurse walked in with their baby, and looked at the four faces that were staring at her.

“Well, everything’s alright. The baby is healthy and fine, so don’t worry.” The nurse informed them, and all of them sighed in relief.

Shocked by their reaction, the nurse shook her head before looking at Mia.

“The baby needs breastfeeding, so…” She trailed off, and Mark and Chloe immediately nodded, moving out of the room, as Alex got up to leave, the nurse stopped him.

“The father of the child can stay.” She said, but when Alex looked at Mia, she looked away, feeling uncomfortable, and so he chose to stay out.

“It’s fine, I have some things to complete.” He walked out after that, making Mia sigh in relief.

The nurse walked over to her and placed the baby in her arms, adjusting her position.

“Your husband seemed flustered, but he loves you both.” She chuckled, and Mia could only stare at her if she knew.

Eight hours later, they went back to the penthouse because, according to Alex, he did not want any nuisance from anybody for his son.

They decided to stay there for a few weeks, until it was safe to go back to the mansion.

Mark and Chloe accompanied them the whole time they were at the hospital, but after that, Alex asked them to go back, saying it wasn’t needed, and just then Mark had received a call from his office, so they had to leave.

“Mr. Ian.” Mia called Alex, holding Bryan in her arms.

The next moment, he was beside her, looking at Bryan.

“Can you hold him, please?” She requested, and he nodded, taking Bryan in his arms.

Just then, Bryan opened his eyes and stared at Alex, while Mia glanced at Alex’s expressions.

A little yawn escaped Bryan’s lips before he started crying.

A panicked look passed through Alex’s face, but he immediately sucked it up, as he turned towards Mia, who chuckled.

“Why is he crying?” He asked, as she took Bryan from his arms.

The next moment, he settled into her arms, he stopped crying, getting familiar with his mother’s warmth.

“Because he will take some time to get familiar with his father. He recognises his mother’s warmth and seeks comfort from it.” She explained, while he seemed to not like the information.

“How much time?” He asked almost impatiently, and she gave him a questioning look.

“How much time will he take to recognise me?” He questioned again, and Mia’s eyes widened with laughter because he looked desperate, and at the same time, it was cute.

“I don’t know. Ask your son.” She shrugged, and walked towards the bed.

Adjusting herself with Bryan in her arms, she then looked up to see Alex still staring at Bryan.

“Mr. Ian, he will get to know you, trust me.” She blinked her eyes, and his eyes then landed on her.

She looked tired, but yet there was this warmth in her eyes when she looked at their son.

“Alright, you both rest, I’ll just finish some work and come to sleep” He informed her, and she nodded before he left the room.

“Are we done for today?” Mark asked probably for the nth time, and Chloe rolled her eyes.

He was so impatient to go to the penthouse, and so was she.

“No, sir, we still have some pending work.” She replied sweetly, and he groaned, falling back into his seat.

“You’re so slow,” he complained, and her mouth hung open.

She was slow. She was practically doing all the work running here and there, and at the end, she was slow. Wow!

She didn’t realise she had been glaring at him, clenching the paper in her hand, until he narrowed his eyes back at her.

“That might be an important document.” He pointed at the now crumbled paper in her hand, and her eyes widened. She gasped, releasing papers.

She picked it up then and checked it, only to sigh in relief because it was empty.

He chuckled at her state and smirked.

“You’re so gullible.” He said, this time she didn’t feel annoyed, in fact, she was glad he was behaving like his usual self in front of her.

Smiling to herself like a fool, she looked at the paper in her hand, and Mark gave her a weird look before banging on the desk, causing her to jump.

“Back to reality!” He shouted, as she shook with fear and left his cabin, and he just chuckled to himself.

Damn, when is she going to acknowledge his feelings?

“Bryan’s uncle is here!” Mark grinned, as he stepped inside the room, only to find both of them sleeping.

He pouted and gave Alex a sad look, as he entered behind him.

Chloe suppressed her laugh and ignored Mark’s glare.

Just as they turned to leave, Mark noticed Bryan moving in his sleep. He was wrapped in a blue cloth but still looked cute

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around, while Mark was close to squealing like a girl.

“He’s awake,” Mark whispered excitedly, as Bryan watched Mark from afar, as he looked back at his mother.

As if sensing his eyes on her, Mia woke up and brought him closer to herself, unaware of the people present in the room.

“Is my baby hungry? It’s feedy, feedy time.” She cooed, and the next second, Mark was dragged out by Chloe.

Alex stood there watching them, and although he could see only Mia’s back, it was still enough.

What has changed in his life after Mia and Bryan’s arrival? Everything.

The hidden emotions weren’t so hidden anymore, and as much he tried to hide them, they definitely poured out.

With a sigh, he closed the door and left the room.

The living room was like a drama show, as Mark was glaring at Chloe while she laughed at his state.

“Aww, Bryan’s uncle was so eager to meet him, but it seems like he’s not interested in this meeting.” Chloe mocked him as she giggled again, whereas Mark huffed in anger and looked away.

“You won’t be meeting my son until I say so.” Alex declared, walking towards them, and once again Chloe started laughing, to which Alex turned to her and added, “You too.”

She stopped laughing at once and looked at him in disbelief, and then it was Mark’s turn to laugh at her, but he stopped when he just realised what Alex meant.

“But why? Why can’t we meet him?” He demanded, narrowing his eyes, and Chloe joined him.

“Because he will take time to recognise me. So until he becomes familiar with me, you two are not allowed here.” Alex declared, and Mark whined, stomping his feet.

“This is so unfair!” Mark cried out, as he sat on the floor, while Chloe and Alex just stared at the big baby.
