The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 39

River’s POV

I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe not wanting to answer his question but then again I did not want to lie to him.

He deserved to know the truth but a fear of mine kept me from revealing it. I wasn’t sure Ethan planned on hurting Nate anytime soon and thats what left a lump in my throat.

It scared me drastically but I knew sooner or later I had to tell him and now that the opportunity came I had no right to be selfish by keeping this away from him.

I took a deep breathe and finally said,“Yes, honey Ethan is your father.”

The words escaped my mouth quickly yet there was no change in Nate’s expression as Ethan gazed at him with a smile.

We stood there in uncomfortable silence waiting for Nate’s reaction but there was nothing, he was taking it better than we all accepted.

After about thirty minutes, I felt it was indeed time to break the silence.

“So do you guys want to go out or stay in and order take out?“I asked, as casual as possible and to my surprise they both replied.

“Stay in and order take out.“They both replied rather quickly, turning there heads my direction and I shook my head.

“Any food suggestions?”

“Pizza or Chinese.” They both replied again but this time looking at each other uncomfortably but then laughed.

Gosh, they were too similar.

“You know what I feel like Chinese so we will go with Chinese.“I smiled and they both looked my way this time with there eyes sparkling.

They both usually did that when they got what they wanted.

After an hour or so they , both helped me set up the table but when the food came they literally dropped what was in there hands anda day down.

I rolled my eyes and huffed a deep breathe while walking towards the table.

It was going to be a long ass night.

After a couple of minutes of more boring silence, Nate finally opened his mouth while moving the green beans from his plate and surprisingly, I looked Ethan’s direction and he was doing the same with his food.

“Whats your favorite color?“Nate asked blankly, looking directly at Ethan and Ethan put is fork down bringing his attention to Nate.

“Blue.“He said, smiling.
