Triplets for the Billionaire novel (Oliver Gusto) novel Chapter 44

"It's not what you think."

"Yeah, you lashed out at me last night, treating me like a piece of shit and here you are, wanting a favor. I think I know what you mean."

"The apology is sincere. I didn't keep the truth from you on purpose. You just didn't seem to care enough, that's why you were kept in the dark."

"Good point and likewise, I don't want to get involved in anything that has to do with you and Oliver."

"So you won't help me?"

"No." She replied immediately.

"Even though it's a matter of life and death?"

"Who's dying?"

"Me."

Beatrice rolled her eyes.

"Come on, mom. Even though you hate me, don't you prefer to have me by your side and continue our endless arguments rather than losing me to the cold hands of death?"

"Who is killing you?"

"Oliver."

"He's your baby daddy."

"Just talk to him for me, mom"

"I'm not getting myself involved.,"

"You don't have to get yourself involved. Just talk to him for me to leave after the wedding."

"And how do you expect me to achieve that?"

"You caused this by telling him about us so in some way, you have a duty to take care of this mess." Kathie knew she was probably sounding petty but she didn't mind as far as it helped her in getting rid of Oliver.

"You're just a coward."

"No, I'm not. I told him all about it. If he had listened to me I wouldn't be seeking your help."

"If Ollie decides he wants to be in his kids' life. Who am I to talk him out of it?"

"He listens to you."

"True but do you take him for a fool? He listens to me but he still knows what he wants."

"This is your house. Please tell him to leave."

"And how do you expect me to do that to him? He is my guest. He came all the way from Australia."

"Kick him out or tell him his time is up. He's meant to be here for only the wedding right? Then he should be out of here by this evening.

"Stop being so insensitive. If you've got issues with your baby Daddy, settle it with him and don't get me involved."

"So you're not going to help me?"

"No."

"Oh stop giving me that look." She said when she saw her daughter glaring at her.

"He has missed seven good years of his Children's life. What type of human will I be by throwing him out?"

"You drained him last night, remember?"

"I thought he was here solely for the wedding? You want to leave him alone in the house?" Kathie was shocked because even Magda was coming to the registry. Yeah, Beatrice practically invited a lot of people.

"Do you have any problem with that?"

"Don't be a terrible guest, Mother. Don't you think it's rude to leave him alone in the house?"

"As someone who claims she doesn't give a fuck about Oliver, you seem to care so much."

"Mom, he's a guest!"

Beatrice frowned. "Are you suspecting that he would steal from us? Don't be ridiculous. You know Oliver is rich enough to buy us and our properties and after which he would still remain one of the richest men on earth."

Katherine rolled her eyes at her mother. Since her home was safe, She wasn't used to locking her room door whenever she went out and she regretted not doing so today.

If he could barge in when she was present. God knows what he would do, being the only one in the house.

"I spoke to him this morning. If he's up for it, he will grace us with his presence and if not, we will see him at the reception."

"Let's go. I don't want to be late for my wedding."

Katherine rolled her eyes once again as her mother helped herself into the limo.

Letting out a deep breath, She followed suit.

The ride to the registry was pretty chatty as Beatrice engaged in conversations with a friend over the phone.

Katherine rolled her eyes at how loud her mother was being with her laughter and all. She occupied herself by looking out through the window, buried in her thoughts until her phone buzzed on her lap.

A small smile made its way to her lips when she saw the caller ID. Kathie instantly brought the phone to her ear.
