The Billionaire's Baby Maker

18 - Two Hearts

CHARLES

I wonder what my Mom said to Madison. She's been away for so long, so she didn't actually know her. my mother doesn't know how good she is and how caring she is to me. To find answers I decided to look for Madison.

"Madison, what did my mom say?" I asked her.

She looked at me, I can notice that she cried.

"It's nothing" she replied, trying to hide the fact that she cried.

"Tell me" I said

"She just asked what I will do after this" she replied. I am too afraid to ask what she said, but I did.

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I said nothing yet" she replied. Safe answer it is.

"But Luke asked me to marry him, and I'd probably say yes" she said. I didn't answer for awhile. She is marrying Luke, yes she will.

"That'd be great" I said. Who am I to her to be sad or mad about it? Luke knows her better.

"But why did you cry?" I asked. Something's really off about this. She stayed silent and won't even bother say anything.

"You can tell me" I said. She started crying again. I hugged her, her head was at my chest and she continued to cry.

"You're not really marrying Luke, are you?" I asked her. She didn't answer and continued crying.

I kissed her, she kissed back for awhile but she pushed me away.

"Let's get married instead" I said. She froze for seconds as I hear her breathe.

"Don't you dare say stupid things" she said.

She went away, and didn't gave me a chance to say anything. I sounded a bit in a rush, I should have asked her out or tell her I love her, but I can't accept the fact that Luke already asked her for marriage.

I should probably fix things first with Helen. I decided to leave home and go to Helen to tell her I want a DNA test.

"Charles, what a surprise" Helen said as she lets me in of the apartment.

"Helen, I won't be staying that long. I just want to tell you that I'm having a DNA test with the child to make sure that he is mine" I said. Helen goes inside the bedroom and returned holding an envelope.

"You don't need it anymore, I've done it myself." She replied and handed over the envelope to me.

"I went to Heather's wedding to get some samples from you, I was expecting I'd get the results sooner before I go to your office, but it just came this morning" she replied.

"How did you get my DNA?" I asked her.

"I am there, I have my ways." She said. This definitely looks real.

"Artie is really your son" she said. She started going close to me.

"I've missed you so much" she said then she kissed me.

"Stop, Helen" I replied. She stopped and didn't say a word.

"I'd be giving financial support to the child, you can stay here for as long as you want. But don't expect that there's a chance that we will be together again" I said.

MADISON

Now, Luke and Charles both asked me to marry one of them. Does that mean Charles has feelings for me too? But his mother doesn't like me for him.

And Luke is my friend, I don't want to hurt him.

Charles arrived home that afternoon. He seems not happy or lonely. I tried to avoid him as I can. But he saw me anyway.

"I am really the father of her child" he said. And there, Charles already has a son.

"What's your plan?" I asked.

"I'd be giving financial support" he replied. That's not enough for a child.

"It's not about the money to a child. You should spend time with him. You should show love for him" I said.

"That's right, but that means I'd be spending time with Helen too" he replied. Oh, that's true.

"But at least spend time with him. A child needs someone to care for him more than money" I said. He seems to agree.

At least he will have a good bond with his son. At least he's be learning how to be a father now. I am really hoping that he will be a good father to his son and to our son. That even if I choose to leave, I know that my child will be loved.
