One Night With The Billionaire

He stared at Eli with helplessness in his eyes. He saw the eagerness in his son’s eyes and felt weak. He glanced at Arianna and saw that she was unusually quiet and stared at her fingers.

“Eli, give me time. I will think about it” Jace declared, forcing a smile. He tried to tickle Eli and make him smile but Eli refused, throwing a tantrum.

“I want a baby. You don’t want to buy me one. I will cry…” Eli declared and started sobbing aloud. He was throwing a tantrum and fell off Jace’s thighs.

“Eli, Eli be calm” Arianna said. She stretched her hands and wanted to lift him off the floor of the car but he wouldn’t. Eli was sobbing aloud.

Jace Hudson just stared at him. What kind of habit is this? When did Eli start having this behavior? Even if it’s something one could buy with money, will he throw a tantrum just to get him to buy it?

Arianna glanced at Jace and the latter just stared at Eli with a poker face. He didn’t say anything but watched him.

Suddenly Jace thundered “Eli Hudson!” His tone changed, his countenance fierce and his glare was freezing.

Arianna shivered. This is Jace Hudson’s other side that she doesn’t want to ever experience. She glanced at Eli and saw the little guy had buried his head on his father’s waist, completely scared.

“Why don’t you want to understand, Eli?” Jace asked, in a soft tone. It sounded completely different from the one he used when he yelled at him.

“I’ll do anything and everything for you and your mom. But when I said I will do something about it, you should trust me, okay?” He explained, raising him up to stare at him.

Eli was quiet and nodded. He seemed to be listening to his dad but he was still showing signs that he was scared. Arianna glanced at them and shook her head, Jace and his miniature.

“Listen to me. Babies are not bought in the market. It takes time for mommy and daddy to make a baby. It takes months, a long time to have one.

That your friend, it took his daddy and mommy a long time to have the baby girl. I will think about it, okay. Then we’ll give you a baby girl someday, huh?” Jace Hudson chimed and hugged his son.

Eli nodded and hugged his dad. Jace pat his back gently and turned to glance at Arianna. He sighed and Arianna shrugged.

Jace was sending information to Senator Adrian about their destination. He has promised him that he would let him know the cemetery they were headed to.

“I’m going to meet Arianna in Susan’s graveyard” Adrian Delmark announced and stood up. But to his dismay, Jane also stood up “We’re going together”

“Stay back Jane. Arianna has a grudge against you. If she sees you, she might flare up and it won’t be good for my reconciliation with her. Please, try and understand me” Adrian Delmark pleaded.

Jane nodded. Arianna will eventually come to accept her as her mother, someday. “I perfectly understand, Adrian. But please, bring my daughter home, I love her very much already” she said with moist eyes.

“I’ll try. I’ll see how far I can make her believe me. I’ll try, because I can only try..”Adrian Delmark replied.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jane nodded. Richard was standing by the sidelines, staring at his parents. He would go as well. He needs to see Arianna, his friend and sister.

“Let’s go ” Richard said and Adrian Delmark turned and glanced at him. He looked from his head to toes and squinted. Richard is going to make things difficult.

“You stay back with your Mom” Adrian instructed. After what he said to Arianna yesterday, she might still be feeling unhappy with him.

“I’m going to go and I won’t let you stop me. Arianna is my sister” Richard declared and looked away.

Adrian sighed. As if they don’t already know that Arianna is his sister. The daughter of the Delmark’s family.

Since Richard insisted on going, Adrian didn’t stop him. He walked out of the door and Jane saw him off to his car. Just before entering, Richard mumbled something under his breath but his parents heard

“You must have been a hot guy in your younger days to make two women fall in love with you” Richard said in a quiet tone but it was aloud enough that his parents heard.

Adrian Delmark chuckled softly “A very hot guy indeed. And even today, I am still very hot, hotter than you” he answered and Richard didn’t say anything but got into the car.

Jane sighed. He hoped Richard wasn’t going to make things difficult for his dad. When Adrian slipped in and sat next to his son, he turned and glared at him briefly.

“When I was your age, I was two times cuttier than you. And in bed, I was excellent. So I think you are an apprentice and I am the master” he sneered.

“You don’t know my capability dad. Don’t think I am not your match when you were my age” Richard snorted, looking out of the window.

“We see how good you are with your women. You go in with a woman and she steps out smiling broadly. I wonder if you really can do anything” Adrian Delmark mocked and laughed out loud.

Richard was infuriated but said nothing. He knew his dad was trying to annoy him. He didn’t say anything else. One day, he would prove to his dad that he is a bad guy when it comes to that.

Eventually, they arrived at the cemetery. They saw flowers placed on a tomb and Arianna was seated at the sides of it, alone with her back to them.

Jace and Eli were waiting far behind, besides the car and watching Arianna.

Adrian Delmark stepped out and Richard did the same too. Adrian’s eyes rested on the young dude in Jace’s arms.
