My Baby’s Daddy Is Mr CEO

Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Aria walked into her room sadly. She wondered why things were suddenly going wrong, yes… life was not a bed of roses, there are always ups and downs but did it have to be this challenging? Whenever she thinks that everything is back in place, something goes wrong again. She wondered if she was cursed or something of that sort. Night came and Oliver had not come back, he had left since evening and he was not answering his calls. Aria wondered what his Grandfather might have told him that made him react the way he did. The way he kissed her on the forehead and walked off in silence, she knew that something was wrong, he was about to take a drastic step but what? Arianna paced around in their bedroom, she stayed awake till midnight and when she finally decided to go to bed, little Princess woke up and started crying. It took her almost an hour to put the baby back to sleep, first she had to breastfeed her, and then swing her gently on the cradle till she fell asleep. Aria then went to bed, four hours later, it was morning and she had to wake up. She was having a terrible headache and her eyes were paining her from being awake for half of the night. Aria tried Oliver’s number a few more times but he did not answer. She went and asked the servants but they reported that the young master did not come home the previous night. Aria was about to call Sammy and find out if he knew his best friend’s whereabouts but just then, Sammy arrived at the house in search of Oliver. Everyone was confused and worried. Sammy guessed he must have ended up in a bar so he went in search of him. The doctor arrived very early in the morning to check on Grandpa Go, he reported that the old man was getting worse and he was finding it difficult to breathe. Aria tried to check on him but he insisted that he did not want to see anyone apart from his grandson, but finally he let Nora in. Aria was saddened by his actions, she was his granddaughter in-law but he would rather see a stranger than her. She could not stand the humiliation so she went back to her room in tears. She just prayed that the old man recovers even if he would not want to see her for the rest of his life.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Her phone rang and she checked the caller ID, hoping it was Oliver but it turned out to be her best friend, Rosie. Just who she needed to speak to at the moment She clicked the green button immediately. “Hey,” she spoke softly. “Um… what is wrong girl? You sound like you just lost a tooth,” Rosie joked. “Well, it is worse than that. Grandpa Go is very sick and Oliver went off last night, he has not returned and he is not picking his calls, I am so worried sis,” she said in a shaky voice, trying to fight back her tears. “What? Wait, what happened? When? How?” she queried. “Everything happened so fast sis; Grandpa Go suddenly started screaming yesterday, we tried to rush him to the hospital but he would not go so Zach took his phone and called the doctor over.” Aria narrated. “Okay, so what did the doctor say and why did Oliver leave?” “I don’t really know. Grandpa Go would not let any of us into his room while he was being attended to by the doctor, then the doctor informed us that he has refused to eat anything or take his medications to help him get better. Oliver returns and goes in to speak to him, I don’t know what they discussed but when Oliver walked out, he looked sad and frustrated. He just kissed me on the forehead and walked off.” “I knew that old man would be trouble, don’t blame me for wishing he dies,” Rosie said with spite. “Don’t say that Rosie, He is Oliver’s grandfather and only surviving close family, means a lot to my husband so he matters to me too,” Aria said in his defense. “Okay, whatever you say, just don’t get stressed out over it. I am sure your husband would be fine, he is a tough man and he would find a way out of this,” Rosie assured. “I hope so Rosie, I just hope so, I don’t know why but I have a bad feeling about this.” “It is fine, okay, if things get out of hand. Just remember that I am always here for you, I will do anything in my power to keep you safe and happy.” “I know that sis; if there is anyone in this life I could trust with my life, it is you Rosie.” “Awn, I am blushing,” Rosie said and giggled.

“I wish I could too, but my face knows no smile. Alright, I will talk to you later if there are any new developments,” Aria concluded. “Okay, goodbye… I love you.” “I love you more sis,” she stated in finality and hung up the call. She lay on the bed with her back down and just then, the door opened. She sat up and watched Oliver walk in. She stood up immediately and rushed to him, he was still in the same formal shirt he was putting on yesterday, but his suit buttons were all open. She could smell the Alcohol on his body, he must have ended up in a bar the previous night. “Oliver, what is wrong? Are you okay? Where have you been?” she asked in a sputter of words. “I am fine Aria, I am okay, there is no need to worry,” he said in a calm voice. Aria could not decipher the look in his eyes, but she was sure that sadness was one of the emotions present. “You say you are okay, but you don’t look okay to me, why did you go out to drink last night and you never came back?” she queried. “I… I just needed some air to clear my head but forget about that,” he replied. Aria sighed and tried to help him take off the suit. “You need to go and see your Grandfather, he is not in a good shape at all and he has still refused to eat. I tried to check on him but he refused to see me, although he let Nora in,” she reported. “Actually Aria, there is something I need to let you know,” he said in a whisper, like he was scared of saying it out loud. “What is it Oliver, you sound worried? Silly me, of course you have to be worried, considering everything that is going on right now.” “Um… Aria, I … I want…” he paused and looked down. “You want what Oliver, please speak to me,” she said, now getting nervous. “Can you do me a favor Aria, I am about to ask something difficult from you,” he informed her. “What is it Oliver? I will help you in any way I can, please just tell me what you need me to do.”

Oliver paused and took a deep breath in, “Please sign this papers,” he said and brought out an envelope from his pocket. Aria took the envelope and unveiled it slowly. “What is this?” she asked with a puzzled look while opening it. “Aria, it is a … it is a …” he stuttered, unable to complete the statement. Arianna opened the papers in the envelope and the first word her eyes met made them widen. “What? Divorce?” she muttered and closed her mouth with her palm. The look of surprise etched on her face. “Yes Aria, I want a divorce.”
