Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 0179 

Sydney’s POV 

Mark must have noticed that I had turned my gaze from Grace’s retreating figure and pinned it on him because he looked up from Aiden and blurted, “What?” 

“Are you seriously asking me that?” I scowled at him. 

He smiled and asked softly, “Come on, what’s wrong? Did I do something to upset you?” 

Since I made my decision to have Aiden, Mark had unfailingly been there for me. Grace and I were surprised and I kept holding my breath I kept my fingers crossed, thinking that someday he’d get tired of either pretending or just get tired of tending to a woman that wasn’t his and leave. But he stayed. He stayed all the way through. 

He offered all the help he could; whenever I felt alone or any tinge of pain and I couldn’t reach Grace, I’d call Mark and he’d immediately come running. I remember one time – I think it was my fourth month – I had this severe contraction and I was just so scared that perhaps my baby was on the way when I was not yet due. In panic, I shot several calls to Grace but she didn’t pick up. My last option was Mark, he picked up on the first ring 

It only took the time for him to drive to my place to reach me. If he could teleport, I was sure I would have immediately seen him before me. 

It was later I learnt that he was having a live session with a prospective merger company when he answered my call and abruptly left the session. 

I never would have believed that Mark could be so supportive or caring. He no longer made Inappropriate jokes or made any attempt at an offensive move. He became the perfect gentleman. 

Gradually, I no longer resisted his help. We became friends and our platonic and business partners relationship flourished and together, our businesses did well and scaled the success ladders. 

We got so close that we talked and laughed like lifelong friends. I enjoyed his company and we both share and talk about things that we care about. 

I rolled my eyes, forcing the smile that wanted to plaster itself on my face away as memories of the times. Mark had been there for me in the past months flashed behind my eyes. 

There were several of those memories, beautiful memories they were, but one particular one lingered. 

Grace had been on a business trip when I went into labor. It was my dye month but weeks before my due date. I hadn’t seen it coming. I didn’t hesitate to place a distressed call to Mark and he hurriedly rushed over and brought me to the hospital. 

Memories of how he had stood by me replayed in my head for the umpteenth time. He held my hands as I pushed Alden out. The strength in him seeped into me over and over and I felt rejuvenated. The memory was still so vivid and I didn’t think it could ever fade away. 

I had since seen Mark in a new light and getting mad at him was difficult but right now? I was raving mad at him. 

“Sydney? What did I do?”

“You did everything!” I blurted, then I grabbed my phone from the hospital’s side table and flung it his way. “Take a good look at what these rubbish news are saying.” 

When I flung the phone at him, I made sure that even if he didn’t catch it, it wouldn’t hit my son in his arms but he expertly caught the phone before it landed on Aiden. He turned the phone upright in his hand and looked at the screen. 

I could see his eyes move from side to side as he read the infuriating news I had stumbled upon earlier. The entertainment channel that posted the news captioned the headline of the content, ‘The CEO of GT Group reconciles with his ex–wife, the ex–wife has given birth to a son for the CEO. The heir of GT Group is born! 

Attached to the content of the post was a picture of Mark as he helped me into his car and drove me to the hospital.
