Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 245

Chapter 0245 

I sighed in relief. “Oh, Dennis, you’re a real life saver,” I told him as he got down from the car and helped us in, tucking Amie in the back 

seat. 

“You can say that again,” he smirked as he opened the front passenger door for me and I climbed in. 

Surprisingly, Dennis, the dangerous guy I was intent on not having anything to do with, was now one of my close friends. After that day at the bar, after rushing me to the hospital, he had waited for me till I woke up and since then he hung around. In fact, he more than hung around. He became a friend indeed. Even during my dark days, he’d always be there to uplift my mood. 

Though it didn’t take long before he confirmed my suspicions of his interest in me. I was happy to turn him down with the news of my pregnancy but it didn’t deter him. He was ready to take me and my pregnancy without even probing me about who the father was. 

His love and care touched my heart, if I was to be honest, but Aiden dealt with me real good. I wasn’t ready to hop from a ruined four years relationship to another uncertain one as I still had doubts about his identity. 

He was respectful of my decision but he stuck around and since then we’ve been good friends. And in the five years we’ve dined and wined together, I had never caught a whiff of anything dangerous 

about the young man. 

He passed me a glance as he drove out of my street. 

“You look flustered.”

“I’m not surprised,” I sighed. “It’s been a pretty tough morning and my car just had to be the top of the icing.” 

“That’s why I told you to let me come with you. I can do the w while you rest,” Amie butted in. 

I shook my head, smiling. “We’ve talked about this, Amie.” 

She pursed her lips and looked away from the rearview mirror where our eyes met. But immediately, Dennis brought her eyes back. 

“You’ve been troubling mummy a lot now, huh, Amie?” 

She scrunched up her face, “No?” Then she said with a tilt of her chin, “You know I don’t trouble anyone.” 

“Of course, you don’t,” Dennis shook his head and chuckled, eliciting a smile from Amie. 

Those two, they really get each other. 

“So, what’s on the agenda today?” Dennis asked, his eyes flicking between the road and the rearview mirror. 

“Same old, same old,” I replied. “Reports to file, meetings to attend. Nothing exciting.” 

“Sounds thrilling,” he said dryly. 

“Oh, it is. You should try it sometime,” I quipped back. 

Amie piped up from the back seat. “Can I come to work with you, Mom? I promise I’ll be quiet.” 

I turned to look at her. “Nice try, sweetie, but school’s important too. Maybe during the holidays, okay?” 

She nodded, though I could see the disappointment in her eyes.

Dennis slowed down as he stopped before Taste Tech Inn ations, the company where I worked. 

“You don’t have to worry, go on, I’d make sure I drop off your ball of angel safely at school.” 

“Thank you so much,” I said. 

“It’s nothing, Ana.” 

“Bye mommy.” 

“Bye baby, be of good conduct in school, okay?” 

She nodded. 

As I got down from the car, I heard Amie impatiently ask Dennis. Can I come to the front now that mum’s gone?” 

Dennis replied with a definite ‘no, my queen‘ before he drove off. 

I smiled. With Dennis, I could be rest assured that my baby would be safe.
