Planned Baby novel Chapter 67

“What’s there to explain about? We heard about your plan with her loud and clear! You are so selfish, mom! I hate you!” Amelia shouted then she went out of my office.

I glared at Hadley.

She covers her mouth. “Oppps, I’m sorry! But don't worry everything will be alright after I execute my plan. Bye!” Then she went out of my office as if she won a lottery.

I felt so weak. My daughter hates me more now. But what is she doing here?

I was about to go to Luna and ask her why Amelia was in my office when I saw Alistair looking at me.

I went to him and hold his hand. “Alistair I will explain.”

Alistair nodded which gave me a huge relief.

“Before that, we need to find your sister,” I told him then we both went out and look for Amelia.

One of my employees told us that they saw Amelia going down the elevator. When we reach the lobby, one of the guards told us that Amelia already left.

Just a second after the guard informed me about Amelia, my phone receives a call from the bodyguard I assigned the twin.

“Ernesto, are you with my daughter?” I asked worriedly.

“Yes ma’am. She asked us to send her to the Escarrer mansion. We have no choice but to follow her because she was crying really hard. She might run away if we don’t follow her request.” The bodyguard explained.

I heave a sigh of relief. “You don’t need to apologize. I understand. Please make sure that she will reach home safe and sound. Update if anything happens.”

“Copy on that ma’am but what about sir Alistair?” He asked.

“Don’t worry about him, he is with me. Just keep an eye on my daughter.” I told him.

After I end the call I look at Alistair and invite him for a snack. We went to the cafe inside the building. I instructed the guard not to let any reporters in.

When we have our orders, I look at Alistair and started to speak.

“Alistair, you are aware that when I had you and Amelia, your dad and I doesn't have a romantic relationship right?” I asked.

Alistair stops eating his cake and looks at me. “Yes. Dad was only living in the penthouse because of me and Amelia.”

I nodded. “But you learned in school that a normal family is consists of husband, wife, and children right?”

He nodded again. “Yes, mom. I know that our setup is different from a normal family.”

Hearing it from Alistair I am not sure if I should be happy that he understands well the situation or not. Knowing that what you have is different from others might be difficult for him.

Again, my selfishness slaps me.

“Yes, and it’s mommy’s fault why we are in this situation. I was so lonely living alone because your grandparents left me so early. I wanted to have a family that I can be with.” I started my speech.

“Because of my selfishness of having a family, I made a plan. I wanted to have a family by having a baby. And it was your dad who helps to fulfill that plan.“

“When I found out that I was pregnant, I planned to take care of you and Amelia alone. Because all I want is a baby or babies. But your dad found out and the rest is history.”

“Your dad was originally engaged to Hadley. The lady you saw a while ago. But they are not in a relationship. They are just arranged by their parents. Do you understand what I am saying?” I asked because, for me, this information is too much for him.

“Yes mom, continue,” Alistair said with a bit of cockiness in his tone.

I chuckled at his act. “Your dad decided to cancel his wedding engagement with Hadley. He wanted to take responsibility for us but I refuse to marry him because I don't want him to force himself to marry just because we had you and Amelia.”

“But daddy loves you mom.” Alistair butted in.

“We don’t know our feelings for each other at that time. Years later, I met Hadley and was confronted with what happened. I told her about my initial plan which was to have you and Amelia by myself. But that was before your dad found out about my pregnancy.”

“And even if, your dad and I are over, I will never take you away from your dad. Once selfishness is enough. I don’t want you to suffer anymore because of my selfishness.” I said then I took Alistair's hand and squeeze it.

“But why is the girl came up with a delusional plan?” Alistair asked.

I laughed at his remark. Hadley’s plan is indeed delusional. I just shrugged. “Beat me.”

Now that the misunderstanding with my son had been fixed. I need to focus now on how to reconcile with my daughter, Amelia.

I know that right now she hates me so much. And it hurts my heart knowing that.

My work has been done. Alistair chose to stay in my office and do his homework while waiting for me to finish with my work.

I went to the sofa where Alistair was. He was done with his assignment and he is now playing with his iPad.

“You are done now, mom?” Alistair asked when he saw me seated beside him.
