CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 84 A prank

LEO’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.

Chloe stayed quiet as she played around with the food in her plate. Her mind was everywhere and nothing pleases her, all she wants is to find somewhere serene and scream out her lungs. Since she became aware of the pregnancy and the doctor telling her she wouldn’t be able to abort the unwanted pregnancy, her body and mind went into a depressive state and she can’t seem to focus on anything.

Leo wasn’t helping matters too with his disinterest in finding out what was wrong with her. It even appears like he has been doing his best to avoid her. However, she has made up her mind to tell him the news, it took her the entire night to build up the courage and if she misses her chance right now, then she might be forced to do something drastic. Her eyes lingered on his thighs as he walked towards the dining table, he mouthed a thank you to the help who served his food.

“Good morning, baby. How are you today?” He asked smiling weakly at her.

She grumbled inwardly at the stiffness in his voice, ever since they got married Leo’s distance became ten times worse than it had always been. His considerate nature seem to have disappeared within a short period of time.

“I’m fine, thank you. I have something to tell you.” She said.

“Okay.” He mumbled cutting a piece of his scrambled egg to eat.

“I’m pregnant.” Chloe blurted without stopping to think on it again.

Leo’s mouth hang in the air as he stopped chewing and after a few seconds of getting the message, he burst into a fit of chuckle. “Are you playing right now?”

She blinked slowly. “What do you mean?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I should be the one asking you that.”

“What’s all this Leo? I am your wife and I just told you that I am carrying your baby.”

Dropping the cutlery in his hand, he pulled at his nose. “I feel like you are accusing me of something I didn’t do right now. Why are you pulling my legs? Is this some kind of prank?” He asked looking around the room for a camera.

Chloe’s lips shook hard as the tears rolled down her eyes. “Are you telling me that you don’t believe me?”

“How the fuck am I suppose to believe you?” He bellowed with his eyes gleaming brightly. Biting on his lower lip, to keep his voice down because of the helps around.

She gripped the edge of the chair hard to keep the tears from falling. “What are you doing?”

Leo slapped the table as he leaned into the chair, “Just quit fucking playing, Chloe. I’m not questioning your integrity right now. But you need to know for a fact that a month before we got married I didn’t sleep with you and when we did I had protection on. And you know very well that I didn’t mess with you during your ovulation state.”

“Are you saying you intentionally didn’t try to cum inside of me?”

“Don’t try to play victim with me. How far are you?”

She snort in anger, “I’m not going to answer that.”

“Of course you wouldn’t, because I know for one that I didn’t put that inside of you.”

Standing up abruptly, she gulped. “I’m not going to take this insult from you. We are pregnant and that is it!”

“Playing that card won’t work, Chloe. Probably you think you are pregnant. But I know I didn’t do that.” He paused checking his phone screen where a message popped up. Picking up the phone, he got up. “I need to leave now. When I get back home we would discuss this.” Without sparing her a glance he left the house.

Slumping into the chair, Chloe felt her heart beat rapidly. The tears rolled down her face uncontrollably and she struggled to breath. The chef ran towards her trying to give her a glass of water to drink. She tried to get a grip on the glass but it dropped off her hand splashing the entire content on the floor. Chloe gasped in shock feeling the entire room closing up on her.

Standing up she ran off to the room acting hysterical. If Leo doesn’t accept the pregnancy as his, it only means one thing. She would be subjected to telling the truth about her cheating scandal. Grabbing her phone from the bed, she tapped on the only number she could call.

‘God…mother.’ Chloe panted in discomfort.

‘Are you alright?’ Desire questioned worriedly on the other end. ‘Talk to me, baby, what’s going on?’

‘I need you, please.’ She sobbed.

‘I’m in an important board meeting right now. Can this wait?’

‘No, please. Just come around…please.’ She begged desperately.

Desire went mute for a brief second. ‘Alright sweetie, just wait up for me I will be with you in a jiffy. I promise.’

Hanging up, Chloe threw herself into the bed letting out a heart piercing scream. She couldn’t believe the things happening to her at the moment. Everything feels like it’s turning against her. No matter how much she tries to take light of the situation, it dawns on her that her life is crumbling right in front of her.

After some minutes passed, the door to her room flew open letting Desire in. She rushed to meet her.

“What’s going on?” She asked rubbing at her back.

Sitting up, Chloe leaned into her godmother and wailed loudly. “I am doomed, godmother. It’s finished and there is nothing I can do to amend things.”

“What are you talking about? You really need to calm yourself, please.” She begged. “What happened exactly, let me know.”

Howling loudly, she tried to steady her breathing. “I told Leo about the pregnancy.”

“Okay…”

“He denied it godmother. Leo said he isn’t the father of my child.” She burst into another bout of tears.

Desire exhaled slowly, she knew whatever plan Chloe had as regards the father of the child would backfire. “He shouldn’t doubt whatever you tell him. Aren’t you both married? Why would he go against you like that?”

Chloe bit on her lips. “The truth is…we haven’t had sex in a long while and the time it happened he used protection with me.”

She gasped in shock. “What the hell?! What sane man uses protection on his wife?”

“Leo does and I am so confused I don’t know what to do godmother. What would become of me when he finds out about the owner of the pregnancy?”

Her godmother was short of words, it didn’t occur to her that the situation of Chloe’s relationship with Leo was so fatal. She would never have let the marriage happen if Chloe had been sincere with her.

“You know what? Before we discuss anything, I need to get you out of this sour mood you are in. You should have your bath and rest for a while.”

She shook her head in refusal, “I don’t want to right now. Let me just remain like this.”

“Don’t be like that, your condition requires that you take care of yourself. Please. I will go get you something to eat. We would get to discuss better after that.”

Chloe cried bitterly as she toyed with her hands, nothing beats the feelings holding tightly onto her chest. The thought of seeing hatred in Leo’s eyes made her shiver. Wiping the tears off her face, she nodded in response to her godmother and made her way to the bathroom. Sighing in pity, Desire picked up and phone and texted her assistant. She is definitely going to be here all day.
