Chapter 16
"OMG. LOOK AT THIS BABY. ITS SO. CUTE. LIAM. LOOK AT ME. "

Zalika went full drama as she squealed exaggeratedly at the baby, her long vicious fingers went to caress the poor boy as the boy start to pout, his cheeks flushed red, ready to let out an enormous cry.

Tovi's arms came and scooped her baby boy from the cradle. The baby, feeling safe in his mother's arms, snuggled and closed its eyes once more, drifting off to sleep.

"Zalika." she hissed. "Don't wake the baby like that. And for heaven's sake keep your claws off my baby! "

Zalika eyes shot at her with distaste as she inspect her 'perfect' nails. Angelyn sipped her tea from her fancy teacup in silence whereas a big bellied Odette read a book beside her, clearly ignoring the whole scene before her.

I looked at the baby in sympathy. His fate is unstable.

I know that Grayson had already talked to Tovi about it, and she agreed to move away from here, she didn't want to stay here, afraid that we would find out the truth. And of course, she wanted to run away from her family to somewhere they can't find her.

Grayson was more than willing to help her, and though she's moving away to another country they agreed to remain as legal husband and wife, so that the child will have a proper family and grow up knowing he has a father.

Tovi isn't that bad of a person. She just thinks for herself, what benefits her and who should she use to achieve what she want.

But now, she just want to get away from here, and spend Grayson's money on herself and the baby.

I doubt she would take care of the baby properly, I guess she just wants to enjoy the luxury that was given to her and it's unlikely for her to spend on her son as much as she does on herself.

Akilah nudged my shoulder, as she sat beside me on the couch, eyes never leaving the baby.

"Don't you think everything's a bit weird?"

I turned my attention to her. "What do you mean?"

"You know, she suddenly ask to move away from here after she'd given birth. " she said hushed. "Don't you think that the baby isn't his child?"

On the surface, I was expressionless. But in the inside, I was in a raging panic.

Did she know anything? I'm sure that Grayson wouldn't tell her, but how else did she found out?

"We shouldn't judge so easily. Perhaps she just needed a good place to raise her child?" I noted quietly. "It isn't good for the child knowing that he has so many mothers."

She nodded knowingly, and changed the topic afterwards.

I mentally calmed myself down while planning what should be the next step.

I should inform Grayson about this.

Grayson's pov
I gaze up from my laptop and look outside the window. It's already midnight, and I was still figuring about how Akilah knew this bit of information.

Qiu Shuang had phoned me earlier to tell me her suspicions and I agree there's something unusual with Akilah.

Normally she wouldn't care even if the sky has fallen.

Tovi's moving away from here. She wanted to move to Germany, and build a new life there with Liam.

Liam is a cute little boy. But he's not mine to take, not mine to raise.

But this cruel truth have to be hidden from him. I don't want him to grow up knowing he doesn't have a father.

"Grayson?" Qiu Shuang peeked through the door into my little office. "You want me to get anything for you?"

"No thank you. " I stood up from the chair and walked towards her. "You look tired. "

"You look worse. " she raised her hands and rubbed her knuckles on the side of my forehead, giving me a massage.

"Better?" she asked a few minutes later.

"Yep." I smiled gratefully as I surprised her by carrying her in bridal style, out from the little office to my bedroom.

She cling on me as her slender arms hung around my neck tightly. "Grayson?!"

"Relax." I kissed her hair as I kicked the bedroom door open and locked it behind me before bringing her to the bed and threw her on it.

She landed like a sack of potatoes and she was still surprised and didn't know what's going on.

Leaning in, I pressed a kiss on her cute nose, then her cheek, then her parted lips. She moaned in surprise as I tugged on her jeans while my tongue slipped into her mouth at the same time.

Pulling away from her lips, I continued kissing her neck, making sure to leave hickeys everywhere.

Satisfied with my job, I support my weight with my elbows and stared at her. Her daze was cloudy as she gasped for air. She was aroused by my sudden action but she still had no idea what's going on.

I cracked into a wide smile. "I said I wanted it to be a memorable night. "

She looked confused at first, and then realisation hit her. She blushed furiously and
refused to meet my gaze.

"I guess this is it. "
