Planned Baby novel Chapter 24

“What if she asks you to give Ulie to her, will you give her what she wants?”

My forehead furrowed. “Why are you asking me this kind of question? Did something happen?”

He shrugged. “Nothing. I was just curious. The Adelson didn’t do anything when the Escarrer cancel the marriage that they have agreed on.”

He has a point, even I, myself were quite surprised when the Adelson didn’t make any move nor reaction to Escarrer’s sudden decision.

“What do you think?” He asked me.

I heaved a sigh. “I’m don’t know. I don’t know them personally, I have no idea how they think.”

“I know Hadley. We were classmates in college when I studied abroad.”

What? Is that for real? So it's safe to say that he knew him quite well.

“Are you guys close?” I curiously ask.

Honestly, I am interested in her when Ulie told me that she was the girl he was supposed to marry. Hadley Adelson has a good reputation in the business world. She was the heiress of Adelson Hotels. I heard that she was good at handling their business.

I heard that they are currently expanding in Asia, but they are not yet building a hotel here in the Philippines. My company was actually waiting for them to expand here in the Philippines and work with them.

“I can say that we are close but it’s nothing compared to her closeness with Enrique Schulz.”

“Wait?! Enrique Schulz? The CEO of Schulz Technologies?” I asked in amazement.

He nodded as if he is not a big deal.

“Wow! She’s so out of reach. I mean, she was the supposed wife of Ulysses Kade Escarrer, she is also close with Nicholas Hearst and now Enrique Schulz?! Geez, she’s so lucky to be surrounded with powerful men in the business world.” I can’t help but comment.

She was the ultimate goal!

Nick chuckled. “Aren’t you luckier than her?”

My forehead creased. “Me? Of course not!”

“I don’t think so. You are luckier than her. Why? You are now part of the Escarrer family-well not on the documents but you are treated like one. And you are close with me.” He explained.

“Oh wait! Is it because of Enrique Schulz that is why you can’t see yourself luckier than her?”

I shook my head. “Of course not. Becoming close with Escarrer and Hearst was merely by accident. If I did not go to that bar and look for a guy to be the father of my twins, I will not be close to you and Ulie.”

“That is what you call fate Ellie.”

Chatting with Nick was not that bad.

I can’t help but think of Hadley Adelson. Why are they so cool with Escarrer’s decision?

Then I thought about Enrique Schulz, as per Nick, Enrique was the closest guy to Hadley. Maybe they secretly like each other?

My eyes widen from sudden realization.

Maybe the reason why they did not do anything about the canceled engagement is that Hadley is in love with Enrique. Now that Ulie cancel the wedding, they can now love freely.

Interesting!
