Chapter 31

I just held my breath at what he said. What does he know about what's going on between Camilla and me?

"It's hard to find a husband who will put up with your attitude," Samantha said with a smile.

I don't know if I will be happy with what he said because I really have no intention of getting married. But why am I annoyed by what he is saying now?

"Are you really teasing me?" I asked him with a frown.

"I'm not teasing you. I'm just telling the truth so I hope you take care of your wife," he answered me seriously before walking away from me.

I just shook my head at what he said and I couldn't help but think. Why do I need to be careful? What is the value of that woman to me?

As far as I know, I have never considered him as my wife. For me, he has no value. He only pushed himself and his child.

Despite what my mind says, I don't know why I feel guilty. Why do I feel pain and affected?

I took a deep breath and walked out of the company. I want to go home to rest. I'd better not think about that.

I immediately got into my car and started it quickly. And in the middle of my driving, my secretary suddenly called.

"Hello," I said.

"Hello Sir, I just want to inform you that Mr. Lee rescheduled his appointment with you because his son is in the hospital now," my secretary said.

I was surprised by what I found out and I feel bad for Mr. Lee. It made me think and I was impressed by how good a father he is to his son. He and daddy are the same when I got sick, he left all his work for me.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that Camilla's son is my son too. But even if I can't accept it myself, there is no doubt that that child is really my son.

When I arrived at the mansion, I immediately went inside. But I stopped when I saw a woman talking to Camilla in the living room. She didn't notice me because she was busy talking.

I slightly hid behind the Vase to listen to what they were talking about. I don't know what crossed my mind to listen to them.

"You inherited the eyes, but the face she took was actually her daddy's face. I don't know why he doesn't want to own that beautiful child," the Woman said confused.

"Let's not talk about that, bess. I don't want baby Yumi to hear her daddy rejecting her over and over again," Camilla responded.

I don't know why I was affected and felt guilty for rejecting his son. Am I really a bad person because of my rejection as the father of a child?

I took a deep breath and slowly climbed the stairs. They didn't notice me because they were still busy talking.

When I got to the room, I sat on my bed. My eyes caught Yumi's crib. I just held my breath while watching it.

I just shook my head and went into the bathroom to take a shower to cool my head.

After a while, I finished showering and came out of the bathroom.

I immediately got dressed and sat on my bed while looking at the wedding picture on my bedroom wall.

  A few moments later, Camilla entered the room. I don't know why I immediately stood up and asked her about this matter.

"Can I hold that child?" I asked without thinking.

She was obviously surprised by my question and I understand why. But when she was about to give baby Yumi to me, my phone suddenly rang.

I immediately went to Veranda and left her in the room. Mr. Lee is calling me and it's really important more than her.

"Hello, Mr. Lee" I uttered.

"Can you be my proxy on my meeting with Mr. Alonzo? I can pay you 100,000 just to close the deal. I'm begging you, Mr. Crosby," he begged me.

"When, Mr. Lee?" I asked him.

"Now," he responded.

I just held my breath at what he said. I can't refuse Mr. Lee especially since he is in a difficult situation. He also has a large investment in the company so I agreed.

I immediately left and quickly drove the car to the restaurant they had agreed upon.

When I arrived inside the restaurant, I shook hands with Mr. Alonzo.

I didn't have a hard time getting along with him because we got along easily.

After our conversation, we said goodbye to each other. I also called Mr. Lee to let him know that everything is okay.

He was very happy and thanked me. I was happy to help him with his problem as one of our investors.

Around 11 pm, I arrived at home and immediately went up the stairs to the bedroom. When I entered my bedroom, I found Camilla sleeping soundly. I glanced at my son lying in the crib.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door and I opened it. Beth appeared in front of me smiling.

"Sir, I'll just watch over baby Yumi," Beth said with a smile.

"Sure, come in," I replied.

I left the room first and went to the Veranda to think.

I wonder if I can be a father. Can I accept that child? Can I love him as a son?

The next day I woke up early and saw Beth dancing with Baby Yumi. I told her to come downstairs so that the baby could get some sun.

"You can go to the Veranda, Sir" he said.

"What did I tell you?" I asked with a frown.

"Okay, Sir," he answered gently.

When Beth came out, I briefly glanced at Camilla. I don't know why I smiled while observing her gentle face.

No, It's impossible to happen. I will never like him.

I went down the stairs to the living room and looked for Beth. I saw her outside while the baby was dancing in the sun. The gaming garden was so beautiful to watch that I was also invited to go out.

But suddenly my phone rang so I said goodbye for a while to answer that call. A call from a client who wants to invest 20 million for the upcoming project that the company will launch.

The gaming conversation was good and it was agreed to sign the contract.

"You're always welcome, Mr. Donato," I said with a smile.

After hanging up, I immediately went back inside and found Camilla. I heard her scolding Beth for not saying goodbye. The worry on her face was obvious and I couldn't help but admire her. But I didn't show it because I don't want to show kindness to him.

"Beth, why didn't you even say you were going to take Yumi?" she asked, annoyed.

"Do you know I was very worried about my daughter?!" she added.

I couldn't hold back any longer so I appealed to defend Beth.

"I ordered her," I told her sparingly.

He was obviously surprised to see me behind him. He was so beautiful to look at that I wanted to slap myself at that time.

"Uhmm, I was just worried about our daughter," she explained.

"Don't be overreacting. As long as she is here at the mansion she will be safe," I answered.

Is she really that kind and caring mother to her child?

Why can't I stop myself from admiring him?

It's not possible. I can't like her because there is nothing in my vocabulary to love a woman like her.
