Planned Baby novel Chapter 15

“Where are my phone and laptop?” Ellie bombarded me as soon as I enter the nursery room.

“Ellie, it's best if you will focus your time with our children,” I said.

She glared at me.

“I’m not stupid, Ulie. I know why did you hide my phone and laptop. I am not weak as you think.” She said in a cold voice.

I knew she would be angry at me. I don't want her to be hurt.

“I know, but let me handle this,” I said, full of concern.

“I don’t need you to fight my battles. I have been doing this alone, and I handled it perfectly well.”

“But I want to. Just let me deal with them, please, Ellie.”

I know she's strong and independent because she has no choice. Her parents died when she just graduated from college.

She needs to take over the company at the age of 21. It's not easy for a 21-year-old girl to take that enormous responsibility. She was alone then, but not anymore. I am here for her to fight with her battles.

“Ulie, let us make this clear. You are only allowed to make decisions for the kids. I am not your responsibility. I can handle my battles well, and you have no right to make decisions in MY problems. You are crossing the line Ulie.”

I didn't like what I heard, but she is right. I know that what we had is only for the kids. We are not in a relationship or something. She made that clear very well.

It just didn't sink in until now.

I can’t help myself to worry whenever she was in trouble.

“I just wanted to protect you, Ellie.” I sincerely said.

“I don’t need your protection, Ulie. Could you give me back my phone and laptop?” She said in a cold voice.

I guess I have no choice but to give it to her.

‘Penelope Quinn Cabello seduce the CEO of LHI to get the resort project.’

‘Penelope Quinn Cabello is the reason behind the cancellation of Adelson and Escarrer Wedding.’

‘Penelope Quinn Cabello uses her child to get the resort project.’

‘Owner of Cabello International Corporation, a no-named company, uses her body to get the LHI Resort project.’

What the heck?!

Now I understand why Ulie wanted to keep me away from my phone and laptop. This we're all insane!

I will definitely sue this person once I cleared everything up. I don't care if they have I'll motive or not, but I will surely make them pay for tarnishing my name.

I feel sorry for what I have said to Ulie. I know he was just concerned, but as much as possible, I don't want to be dependent on anyone.

People come and go even if they don't want to. I hate losing people that matter to me.

Also, I knew that he was treating me well because I help him with his arranged marriage problem.

We don't owe anything to each other. I planned all this for my benefit. It just so happen that he also benefitted from it.

“Luna, find out who was the person behind all this. I am sure that the people behind this were one of our competitors in the LHI project.” I instructed Luna.

“How did you get your phone?”

I rolled my eyes. She knew what Ulie did, and she just let him.

“You knew that I don't want anyone to fight my own battles, right? And I’m not stupid, Luna. I knew that Ulie causes my phone and laptop incident.” I hissed.
