The good boy’s eyes looked at me and then at his father. We are both so attentive hearing him to say it. He just stared at us for a moment, and after holding his voice for a while, he called out, “Whaaaa.” I just giggled, he was so cute at all. But I think someone didn’t find it funny. I looked at Haden and he seemed a little upset. He really wanted his son to say the word papa so he repeatedly taught him word for word: “Pa-pa, Papa.”
“D, D.” he murmurs.
“……” Haden was obviously blown away. He was a little frustrated, he looked down at me as I was stopping myself not to laugh at him and he immediately leaves driving his car. I think he’s jealous that his son can’t say the word Papa but managed to say mommy.
Even so, I wondered why he was in such a hurry to leave. It’s not actually a big deal for him to walk out. Well, I just did not mind it and waited for him to return.
After a while, Haden came back and asked Berry to help him carry his stuff. Berry did so.
They lugged two large boxes together inside the house. I wondered what they were but still didn’t say a word.
Haden opened them as they were put to the floor. I was amazed of what they were, the boxes were full of toys. He let them out one by one and showed them to Haden. There were stuff toys, one looks like a kitten and the other one looks like a monkey.
He looks very funny doing such thing at the same time sweet for doing efforts for his son.
Eaden was so happy to play with them.
He hugged Eaden, afterwards urged him to say Papa again. Haden is not listening to him, all his attentions were in the toys.
“Baby, come on, say papa.” I said again.
“Wah wah.”
Haden’s expression immediately darkened; he is devastated. I actually found it funny and laughed.
Eaden giggled while still being busy playing with the toys.
“Mom” he said with a sweet tiny voice.
I hurriedly carried Eaden away, afraid that Haden would be even more irritated.
“You should go to work, I’m putting my baby to bed.” I danced my son to sleep and went to the room and put him to bed. I lay beside him and turned on my cell phone.
Dermon sent me a link and as I open it my whole body was shocked.
It turned out to be Haden’s Scandal. Those were photos of Haden and Elizebeth, because it was supposedly them who should be dating at first. The first picture shows the two of them entering a bar one after the other, and the second shows them entering a hotel. I don’t feel good looking at it. I’m still his wife after all. How could he cheat on me all this time? And of all people, why Elizebeth? Why didn’t he just marry her from the beginning? Why did he sleep with me after all? Just for me to be here in witness of his unfaithfulness with the woman he resisted year ago?
The headline is pretty random, but to me it was like a cold water poured all over my body. ” Billionaire and his actress girlfriend”. It repeatedly turns into my head and I could hear the “thump” in my heart. I stood and fixed our luggage and did other things while my son sleeps. I have decided to leave with Eaden until the idea was compromised that has to be considered.
I didn’t feel better until the night comes. Haden came home from work and I didn’t sleep all night.
In the middle of the night, Haden hugged me from behind, and I pretended to be asleep, tossing and turning as my mind buzzed.
The next day, we had our normal day. After work, Haden came home. We were playing in the living room, we were supposed to go upstairs so I carried Eaden in my arms.
Haden’s assistant was with him. He came in while carrying a few boxes of toys. I carried my son upstairs but he resisted. He didn’t want to go upstairs and was crying.
His eyes lit up as he looked at his father, he seemed so excited seeing him after a day.
“Woah! Woah!” He screamed.
He stroked his face with his fingertips, his flesh was as tender as cotton, he scratched it. He also wiggles why crying. He seemed to be waiting for his father to carry him.
“You’re so happy to see Daddy, huh?” Haden helped him hold his milk bottle and put it in his mouth, adding, “Finish your milk first, and when you’re full, Daddy will take you to play.”
He glanced at me, “Why didn’t you say hello to me once when I came back?”
Only then did I look at him and say, “ow, my brother is back? I’m sorry, I was busy making Eaden calm.”
My tone was obviously perfunctory.
“Don’t be bothered with the rumors out there, they’re all unfounded, I’ll clear them up.” He convinces me. Even if I didn’t asked about it, he somehow knew what was bothering me.
I nodded, “Fine.”
“Can you look at him for a while, I’m a little tired. I’ll just go take a rest.”
I gave my son to Haden and went upstairs. I lay down in bed, feeling exhausted for the whole day. I didn’t notice that I fell asleep. I hear a sound entering the room, only then that I knew I fell asleep for almost two hours.
Haden came in with Eaden and gently laid our baby in his crib.
“Shhhh!” he said as he put him down gently.
I watched as he put Eaden down and got ready to go back to bed.
Suddenly, he hugged me from behind. I can feel his warm body.
He kissed me gently on the ear.
“What’s the matter with you? Are you jealous?”
I blushed suddenly and said, “No.” It was that time I realized what I’m feeling, I’m really jealous but it’s not good for me to say it directly.
“Huh?” He was still in a good mood, and there was amusement in his slightly boyish tone, “You’re really not jealous?” he uttered.
The tone of his voice was obviously flirtatious. I can see clearly in his eyes a sign of disbelief in an annoying way. Haden’s mood inexplicably become better, he pulled me in his arms to hug me tighter. He deliberately puts his lips closer, so close to my ear that I was tickled as he was speaking.
“Tell me, why are you suddenly so curious about my ramblings?” I asked in a curious tone.
He just did not talk and continue hugging me.
Why is he talking so close to me? I don’t want what I’m feeling right now.
It felt so warm that he could burn me with every word he said, his rubbing against my ear from time to time. I was feeling butterflies on my stomach. I did nothing, I just let him do what he was doing. After a while my heart calmed, I suddenly thought of Elizebeth again and couldn’t believe it. I felt anger again after forgetting about it for a while. I can’t help myself so I asked him.
“What role do I play in your life? Am I only a woman whom you are using to do the responsibility for you to have a so-called wife and son? Am I right?” I’ve never spoken to him in such a tone before, his aura of authority and untouchability always subconsciously making me afraid of him. But this time it’s different, I feel confident of doing such thing.
Haden also got a little angry when he heard that, “What makes you think that I’m just using you?”
“I’m already taking actions about this matter. I’m on the process of investigating about it, why don’t you believe me?” He says with a convincing a little angry tone.
“It does not matter, my concern is that the pictures are there after all, do you think I’m that stupid enough.” I said with a hate on my voice.
“Elena, I’m telling you, I’ve never been in this bar even in this hotel!” This time I felt he is irritated, whatever. How dare him get angry at me at this point.
“Let’s get a divorce.” I said with a cold voice.
Haden’s body froze, as if he was suddenly struck by lightning, and as if the whole person faded in a flash. I cannot tell what might he’s feeling right now. It seems that the blood on his face suddenly faded. I looked at him and he looked pale, and suddenly his face projected a blank expression. His body even swayed unconsciously.
“Divorce?” It was as if he had misheard it, he looked incredulous, “Did you just say divorce?” He repeats in disbelief. We had an arrangement before that if our son is born, we will have a divorce. I didn’t know what he feels about getting divorce.
“Yes, divorce, didn’t we discuss this before? We agreed that after I gave birth to Eaden, we must have our divorce” I didn’t look at him as I was saying these words.
