The Secret Pregnancy of the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 147: Christopher Uncle… Does He Want To Be Our Father?

Angels Toy

I pushed open the door to my apartment, feeling a strange lightness in my chest. The evening air had cleared my head during the walk home hom the cafe, and despite the uncomfortable conversation with Christopher, I felt as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

Ethan was sitting on the bench in the entryway, his small fare lighting up when he saw me.

‘Mama, you’re back,” he said, sliding off the bench and walking town me.

I smiled, setting my purse down on the side table. “Yes. Were you waing for me?

Ethan nodded. “Mama, did you and Christopher uncle have a fight?”

His perceptiveness sometimes caught me off guard. I knelt down to his level, keeping my voice gentle. “No, we didn’t fight. I just needed to make some things clear to him.”

Ethan hesitated, his fingers fidgeting with the hem of his pajama top. “Mama, Christopher uncle… does he want to be our father?”

The directness of his question made me pause. I chose my words carefully, not wanting to burden him with adult complexities.

“He might have wanted that before, I admitted. “But after tonight, I don’t think he’ll want that anymore.”

“So you rejected Christopher uncle?” Ethan’s gaze was unwavering, almost too mature for his young face.

“Yes,” I said simply. “I did.”

His brow furrowed slightly. “Will Christopher uncle still come to see us?”

“I don’t know,” I answered honestly.

Ethan was quiet for a moment, then asked, “Are we still going to live here?”

The question gave me pause. I hadn’t fully considered the implications of my conversation with Christopher. This apartment was his -he’d arranged it for us when we first returned to New York. While the rent was paid for several months in advance, continuing to live in his property after rejecting him felt wrong.

“I’m not sure,” I admitted. “I’ve paid the rent already, but… this is Christopher’s apartment. Would you mind if we moved? Would it be difficult for you and Aria?”

A small smile touched Ethan’s lips. “If you want to move, Mama, I’ll help explain to Aria. She’ll understand.”

My heart swelled with pride and gratitude. My little boy, so young yet so understanding. “Thank you, sweetheart. I appreciate that.”

Later that night, after putting the twins to bed, I sat cross–legged on my own bed with my phone in hand. The conversation with Mr. Night remained open on my screen, my last message still unanswered.

Had he gone to Le Bernardin after all? Was he angry that I hadn’t shown up? Or perhaps something had come up on his end as well.

With a sigh, I set my phone on the nightstand: I’d have to try contacting him again tomorrow. After the emotional toll of the day, sleep was what I needed most.

I didn’t look up from the rental listings on my computer screen. I have my reasons. Just help his find some options, please

He folded his arms, his expression turning knowing. “Wait a minute. Don’t tell me your current place was arranged by that Blake guy? And now you’re moving out because you turned him down?

1 finally looked up, fixing him with my most professional stare. “Marquis, if you channeled your gossip energy into actual work, gur company’s performance might improve significantly.”

He laughed, unfazed by my deflection. Fine, fine. But if you’re planning to stay in New York long term, you should consider buying a place instead of renting. Save yourself the hassle of moving again later.”

His casual suggestion triggered a chain of thoughts I’d been avoidin

Was 1 planning to stay in New York permanently?

What if Sean discovered the twins and tried to take them from me?

Had returning from Italy been a mistake?

I shook my head slightly, pushing away the doubts. No one could simply take my children–not even Sean. I had raised them for five years on my own. They were mine.

“Boss? Everything okay?” Marcus’s voice pulled me from my thoughts

“I’m fine,” I replied, straightening in my chair. “Let’s focus on finding a suitable place.”

I couldn’t keep second–guessing myself. My employees were counting on me. I wouldn’t let them down.

I left the office early that afternoon to pick up my new BMW.

New York’s traffic was congested as always, and I drove carefully toward the twins‘ school, still getting used to the new vehicle.

As I approached the school entrance, I spotted Aria’s dark curls bobbing animatedly as she spoke to a small boy I didn’t recognize. Neither child noticed me immediately, too engrossed in their conversation.

“Mama!” they called in unison when they finally spotted me, Aria’s face lighting up with excitement.

“Tommy, this is my mom,” Aria said proudly, gesturing toward me with elaborate formality.

The little boy–Tommy–offered a polite nod. “Hello, Mrs. Wilson.”

“Hello,” I replied, studying him curiously.

J reached into my bag and pulled out the imported candies I’d picked up earlier, offering one to the unfamiliar child. Tommy hesitated, seemingly unsure whether he should accept.

“Tommy, take it!” Aria insisted, grabbing the candy and pressing it into his hand. “We’re friends now, so you don’t have to be shy with us.”

I noticed Ethan watching silently, his lips pressed together in an expression that seemed neither welcoming nor hostile–just

cautious.
