Planned Baby novel Chapter 45

After Hadley went to my office last time, my initial plan was to avoid her because I know her presence will bring chaos to my family, especially Ellie.

I don't know why Hadley likes me so much. Many guys are after her. One of them is Quen. Hadley's feelings for me became an obsession to the point that she convinced her parents to arrange our marriage.

I was not able to cancel it before because LHI plans to expand in America, and Adelson is a great help for us. I never consider it, but I don't want to rush things since the benefits are great.

If only I have my memories with Ellie, I would have rejected the marriage offer with the Adelsons before I went back to the Philippines.

I know that regretting it is useless now. What I can only do is to settle things with Hadley once and for all.

I was back from deep thinking when I heard Nick's voice.

"Hey, dude! Are you okay?" Nick asked.

I have a meeting with him today about our partnership and also because I want his advice about my current problem with Hadley. Nick went to the sofa area of my office, where we did our meeting. I followed him there.

"I'm not okay, dude. Hadley is now making a move and she's targeting Ellie." I shared with him.

"I'm not surprised with her move. Ellie is an easy target for her." Nick said.

I sighed aloud. "I know. That's why I'm thinking of meeting her."

Nick's forehead creased. "Why do you need to meet her?"

"I need to settle things with her and to tell her not to approach Ellie."

"I don't think that's a good idea dude," Nick said.

I frowned. "Why is that?"

Nick smirked. "Obviously, she was targeting Ellie for you to notice her. If you will ignore all her schemes then she will think that her plans are a complete fail."

I shake my head. "No, Nick. I can't just stay here and be quiet knowing that Hadley is making things hard for Ellie."

"Then help Ellie without them knowing."

"If you were just there when Ellie confess to me how scared she is when Hadley threatened her that Hadley will destroy her company, you will not tell me that," I said to Nick.

"Then do you think that talking to Hadley will make a difference?" Nick asked me.

"Of course it will make a difference! A huge one. I will bring Hadley to her place. I will wake her up to her delusion."

Nick shakes his head. "If you do that, you might make things worst. Hadley's obsession with you is no joke!"

I messed my hair up because of frustration. Hadley is a serious case. I honestly don't know what to do with her. I already told her the first time she confesses to me that I don't like her romantically but she keeps on insisting on herself to me.

If not for Quen, I will not be nice to her and tolerated her schemes when I was in the States. But now is different. Hadley is messing with Ellie. I can't tolerate her antics anymore.

"But I can't tolerate her anymore. Aside from Ellie, I know that whatever her plan is, my twins will also be affected." I told Nick frustratedly.

"Just ask your friend Enrique to bring Hadley back to America with him," Nick said in a sarcastic tone.

I smirked. "I don't think I can ask him that. He was busy chasing someone right now."

Nick furrowed. "What do you mean?"

"Quen confessed to me that he is pursuing my sister. He followed Kaela to America when he found out that Kaela will stay in America for a while."

I laughed to myself when my parents told me that the person Alistair is jealous of is none other than my best friend Quen. I called Quen upon knowing that he was the guy, Alistair is referring to.

Quen confessed to me that he is in love with my sister and he is pursuing Kaela right now. The reason why Kaela has a sudden business trip in America is that she wants to avoid Quen. But what she didn't expect is that Quen will follow her wherever he wants to go.

Nick looked shocked from what I told him. "I thought she likes Hadley?" Nick can't help but ask.

I smiled at him. "He did or as per him, he just thought he did."

Nick looks more confused. "I still don't get it."

"Quen thought that what he felt for Hadley is romantic love, but when he fell in love with my sister, he realizes that what he felt about Hadley is not love. Hadley is still special to him because Quen treated Hadley as a family." I explained to him.

"That's good to hear." Nick utter.

"What?"

He cleared his throat. "I mean, now that he realized that he was not in love with Hadley, it only means that you guys can now reconcile."

"Will you not be jealous if that happens?" I joked.
