CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 63 Just sex

FOOD COURT MALL, LOS ANGELES.

Darby chuckled at Sinclair’s rambling, ever since they got into the space he has been talking about his father nonstop. It almost feels uncomfortable due to Zac’s presence. But it appears Zac isn’t bothered by it and he was listening with so much keenness.

“It has been a crazy week right?” She said chewing on the fries.

Zac nodded taking a sip of his drink. “I had a very crazy assistant and I almost lost my mind. It made me miss a certain someone who was the best assistant I have ever had.” He winked.

She waved a dismissive hand laughing. “Oh please. I wasn’t any good assistant, always acting clumsy and almost cost you a client’s hundred dollars dress.”

“You were pregnant with loads of back aches and leg pains. Still you showed up every step of the way and didn’t try to use that as an excuse. You worked hard despite it, I was almost forced to ask you to stop but the determination and persistence you had was just something that I couldn’t let go. I knew it would also be a loss on my part if I let you off.” He said.

“Thank you so much for seeing that part of me and not just a weak teenager with a pregnancy.” Darby mumbled as her eyes landed on Sinclair. He was humming to himself as he chewed on the fries happily.

She could almost give her son the happiest kid in LA at the moment. Especially since Sinclair met with his father, Leo, Darby has to admit, Leo is an amazing father. Even though they had just recently became aware of each other’s presence, he still weaved his way in like he had never been absent. She had worried her son’s attention would be deviated from her, but Leo did a good job to make it known to the little boy that their presence in his life is important individually. She wouldn’t even blink an eye if he chooses to take the boy for a month, Sinclair will definitely return to her happier and more reasonable.

“I must admit, LA has done the both of you really good. I’m glad to be here too.” Zac mused with a weak smile.

Darby sat up clearing her throat. “Well is everything okay with you, Zac? I noticed you haven’t been yourself, even though we are just getting to see after two weeks. I could sense the stress in your voice over the phone. Is this still about the stress at work?”

He blinked rapidly trying to maintain a smile. “Of course, that is the case I can assure you. You know how big of a brand Essence is. They would be hosting the first runway with this season’s first set of designs courtesy of yours truly. I’m just sort of anxious that’s it.”

She reached out for his hand caressing it. “Come on now, you are the best at what you do, Zac. I have never doubted that and wouldn’t now. You work hard and pour in your all into whatever work you are given. You didn’t enter into this fashion world just for the sake of it. It’s passion for you, it’s life itself for you. And because of you, a lowlife like myself has a go at life.”

“You are not a lowlife, Darby.”

“I would have been without your interference in my life. All I am trying to say is, you will do great things. That’s how amazing you are. The universe isn’t ready for you yet. Your name will be heard in places, I am sure of that.” Darby said smiling sweetly at him.

“Daddy.” Sinclair yelled all of a sudden.

Darby and Zac turned their head towards him. “Your dad isn’t here, Sinclair. Are you trying to call him?” His mother asked.

Sinclair shrugged his shoulder as he pointed at the direction he saw his father. Wiggling himself out of the chair, he ran as fast as his little legs could carry him towards Leo. Leo was on a call with Chloe next to him and he didn’t hear anyone call out to him.

“Daddy.” An excited Sinclair hugged his legs.

Chloe swallowed hard, she didn’t expect they would bump into Leo’s son in the mall. Not today when she is trying to enjoy her time with Leo. “Hey, Sinclair. What are you doing here?”

Leo looked towards his son and a wide smile appeared on his face. ‘Let me call you back, Kingston.’ He said hanging up as he reached for his son. “Hey, champ. How are you doing? Did you miss me?”

The father and son duo laughed as Leo tickled him while Sinclair held onto his head while laughing. They were a cute pair to watch and it made Chloe heart string pull. It would probably be an amazing idea to get pregnant soon, if she wants Leo to pay much attention to her.

Darby and Zac ran towards them huffing and panting at the same time Leo was about to ask Sinclair where his mother was.

“Sinclair, baby. Why didn’t you tell me you actually saw your dad?” Darby asked rubbing at his hair as she stood in front of Leo.

There was a sudden sort of awkwardness amongst the adults. Chloe was trying hard to avoid Zac’s questioning glare, while Leo and Darby stared at each other with the memories of the other night playing between them.

“Daddy.” Sinclair called out, bringing all of them out of their trance.

Leo coughed lightly, “I was just about to ask where you were. I see you are out on a date.” He said, giving Zac a side glance. He didn’t bother to hide his discomfort with Zac’s presence.

“I see you are out on a date too. Hi, Chloe.” Darby tried to smile, but Chloe’s stiff energy didn’t make itself hidden enough.

“Come sit with us, daddy.” Sinclair said urging him to follow.

“No, baby. Your daddy has plans to go out not stay here with you.” Darby said hoping Leo would get the hint. The association was already awkward enough as it stands.

“Oh, no. We would gladly join you. We are still sort of contemplating on what to do around here.” Leo said smiling briefly at Chloe like he was ever going to seek her permission. “Let’s join you, son. What are you having?”

Sinclair giggled. “Fries and waffles.”

“You are so much like me, buddy. Daddy would have fries and waffles too.” Leo replied.

The both of them laughed away like they were in their own world, leaving the other three to sort themselves. It didn’t take long when they settled that Sinclair caught sight of a cotton candy stand that just rolled into the court. He insisted both of his parents should take him there, which they didn’t have the guts to refuse. Excusing themselves, they left Zac with a displeased Chloe.

Zac bit hard on his lips as he kept his eyes focused on Chloe. “How much longer do you think you can ignore me?” He questioned her.

Chloe’s cheeks colored from anxiety. “Do you have to do this here?” She asked lowering her voice.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Oh, now there is a place to do something like this? You wouldn’t even respond to any of my text or calks.”

“I’m married for fucks sake and it was a mere one night stand. What man hangs on to just a mistaken night of passion?”

“I believe you are mistaken about the one night stand, it was okay that night when we were both super drunk. How about that night after your bridal shower that you came to knock on my door and practically had me thrown on my back while you straddled me? What am I suppose to make out of that?”

“What exactly do you want to hear from me? It’s just sex for fucks sake! What part of the world do you come from?” She gritted with her neck veins popping out in the process.

Zac sniffed at the realization that her question was actually valid. What exactly was he trying to gain from reaching out to her, she is married and he wants to be with Darby. “You know what? Forget I said anything. I am sorry.”

“Better.” She said in a hushed whisper. “Let’s not ever talk about this again.”

Just in time Leo and his mini family made a return. Sinclair looked on top of the world with happiness radiating all over him.

“Alright, my boy, daddy has to go now.” Leo said kissing his son’s forehead. Chloe looked the most relieved as they bade them goodbye, she thought they were never going to leave.
