Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 395

DENNIS

When I reached the door, a question I had meant to ask suddenly occured to me. I turned back to find her gaze still on me.

“What is it?“ She smiled.

It felt so good to see her smile and not glare at me like she has been doing for the past days.

“I have a question,“ I said as I slowly walked back to her.

“Okay?“

“The other time, when I was telling you about the properties I sold, you said you saw the documents for the sales I made in my drawer?“

“Yes, I said that.“

I frowned. “How?“

“Oh yes. I was at your bar,“ she shrugged. “I waited for quite a while but you would not return so I just left.“

“Oh.“ I recalled manager the times when my manager tried to tell me something when I returned that day. That was probably what he was trying to tell me.

“I had no idea.“ I wanted to add that she should have called me but then I remembered that I hadn't been picking up calls. “The manager tried to tell me but I was so angry that I told him off.“

She smiled. “It's okay. I now understand.“

I sighed again, berating myself for my foolishness.

I stepped forward and pulled her in for another hug. “Thank you for sticking with me even though I'm an asshole.“

“Okay.“

I pulled back and gaped at her. “So you agree that I'm an asshole?“

She burst into a fit of giggles.

I walked around the hospital for a while, wondering where the heck Aiden had taken Amie.

Finally, I came to an abrupt halt when I spotted them on the playground in the hospital compound.

Amie was giggling so hard as she sat around Aiden's neck.

I smiled at how happy she looked. At how she was still so full of life even when it looked like she had little of it.

“Amie!“ I called and walked towards them. “Amie.“

Immediately, Amie turned around. Her eyes brightened even more before she yelled, “Daddy!“

Slowly, Aiden turned around to face me. Then Amie tapped Aiden on his head and said something to him. And then she was moving like she would climb off his body if he didn't let her down on time.

As soon as Aiden placed her on the floor, she ran toward me. “Daddy.“

I met her half way and caught in my arms.

“Oh, baby,“ I pressed a kiss to her forehead and she giggled, wrapping her arms around me in a hug. “It's just been a few hours and I have missed terribly.“

“I missed you too. Uncle Aiden is so fun to hang out with, can I hang out with him abother time?“

At that question, I looked up and my gaze met Aiden's, his lips was pulled tight in a forced polite smile but everything else about him opposed that smile, from his clenched fists to his hardened jaw.

“Of course,“ I told Amie. “Whenever you have the time, you can.“

“Yay.“ She threw her hands in the air and hugged me again, almost squeezing the daylight out of my neck. “Thank you, daddy, you are the best.“

Then she turned to face Aiden.
