The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 37

Rivers POV

I quickly backed away wiping my tears and looked at Ethan.“Im so sorry that was not professional at all I have no idea what got into me.“I explained, scratching the top of my scalp in embarrassment.

“No no no no I am the one who should be sorry after all I was the one who caused the tears on your face.“He said, with slight anger in his voice and I nodded at the pure truth.

“You can swing by today meet with him, talk to him, get to know him maybe even play with him I advised my friend she is a therapist and she said to take it slow but if he shows positive signs, and nothing goes wrong we can tell him your his father in about a week.“I smiled assuringly and he gave me a puzzled look.

“What do you mean something goes wrong.“He asked, closing his arms his muscles tensing.

“Oh no no no I do not mean between us or anyone else interference, what I meant was that Nate is a really intelligent kid and can pick up things quickly so he can probably put the puzzle pieces together, he even started when you left studio a couple days ago-“I was going to continue before

“eighteen days, nine hours, fifteen minutes and 30 seconds to be exact.“He added, which caused a smile to form on my face.

“He asked why guys look so similar,“I explained trying to hide my eyes.

“What did you say?“Narrowing his gaze directly where my eyes landed.

“I told him you were a friend of mine.....“I began but he began to choke at the seriousness in my tone.

“Friend.“He said, stepping a bit closer and I stepped back.

“What did you expect me to say oh honey he’s the father that didn’t have the guts to claim you, ” I laughed in a sarcastic tone as his gaze became a look of displeasure.

“Mark my words River, you will not belong to another man as long as my heart is beating,“Ethan growled and I scoffed furrowing my eyebrows.

“I was never yours, Ethan and you should accept fate as written,“I explained, jabbing my index finger into his chest shifting my tone to a brutal one.

“Even if that is a true statement I only belong to you and that will never change.“He declared in such a bold manner, turning his back away from me walking the opposite direction of the office.

“Nate Hun we have to go soon so don’t get too comfortable,“I yelled from Violet’s front door as he ran joyfully towards Jacobs room.

“Why mommy?“He pouted returning in my direction and I sighed observing him closely.

“You remember that guy you asked me about.....“I began but trailed off so he completed part of the sentence for me.

“Yeah, Ethan what about him?“He asked, crossing his arms changing his expression to a curious one.
