Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 396

DENNIS

A giraffe? Why the heck would a four year old want a giraffe. As a pet? A toy? That is so unasual.

And expensive!

A real giraffe will cost a fortune!

Right now, I doubt I can even shave anything off my account to afford the basic needs talkless of a breathing giraffe.

“Daddy?“

I turned to find her gaze on me, expectant.

I smiled. “Of course, I'd get one for you. A real giraffe, isn't it?“

Her eyes lit up and she bobbed her head, too excited to speak up.

“Daddy will get you a giraffe,“ I said, already regretting why I even asked her what she wanted.

She threw her hands up in the air. “Today is the best day ever!“

By the time I parked in the hospital’s parking lot, she seemed to have exhausted her energy for the day and her eyelids struggled to stay open.

I stepped out of the car and went to the other side and undid her seat belt. Then I carried her and together we went into her ward.

“Make sure you have enough rest, okay?“ I told her as I dropped a kiss on her forehead.

She bobbed her head. “Thank you for coming to see me today and taking me to see Mummy and uncle Aiden.“

“You know I'd do anything for you and your mom.“

“Will you be back tomorrow so we can see the baby together?“

“There's a lot of work for me to do, baby, but I'll try.“

She nodded, stood on her bed and then she wrapped her arms around me.

I got into my car and made my way back to the bar.

On my way, I could not stop wondering how much a giraffe will cost. Let's not even talk about the care that it would need as a pet.

I grabbed my phone to check the price ranges but quickly dropped it.

It wasn't like I had the money to get it now. Confirming how expensive it is will only make me worry more.

I had a lot to worry about already.

At the bar, there was enough customers as usual but it didn't fill me with glee like it always did because I knew that the more customers, the faster our things will finish and we'd have to restock and the money for restock was no where to be found.

As I tried to not show my lethargy, the manager walked up to me. This time I didn't shun him and he finally told me that my wife was here.

“I know,“ I simply told him. “Thank you.“ Then I made my way up the stairs to my office.

On the way, Tabitha walked up to me.

“Welcome back, sir,“ she chirped as she fell in step with me.

“Okay,“ I muttered absentmindedly as I began to shrug off my jacket.

“Let me help you with that, sir,“ she said and was immediately behind me, removing my jacket for me.
