Billionaire’s Baby Mama

{Carlos’ Pov}

The dinner ended on a good note because I decided to go in line with mom’s plans. Seeing her so happy with the topic I couldn’t bear to break her heart but deep down, I know I can’t spend a single moment with Maddy.

The elders decided to get us engaged by July and the wedding will follow by December.

And According to Mom, It is going to be a Christmas wedding.

Maddie was filled with glee and her face brightened up at the news. She kept smiling at me.

She even tried to start a conversation with me but I avoided her as much as I could and as soon as I got the chance, I escaped.

A life with Madison Ray? No Way! I’d choose life in hell over that.

As soon as I arrived back home, I immediately got to work and completed the registration, and to my surprise, my phone dinged with a message notification thirty minutes later.

I clicked the message and I was stunned to see that the agency has texted me to tell me they had someone who meets my demand.

I was elated to hear this. I immediately called and asked them to proceed with the process

I can’t wait to be rid of that Jenny!

I took a shower and changed my clothes before going to bed. It’s been a long day and I’m sure tomorrow will be a long day with me having to go to the surrogate agency.

I woke up early the next morning, followed my daily routine, and went to the office. My appointment with the surrogate agency is by 12noon. I made sure to complete my work in time and as soon as it was 11:30, I headed out to the agency.

My sperm was taken and I was told to stay behind to discuss with my surrogate, just in case I want to make some last-minute changes or to see if I like her as my surrogate.

I wanted to refuse at first since I don’t mind who the mother will be. I just need a baby to save Chloe and make mom happy and also escape being tied to Madison.

I decided to stay anyway but the Surrogate was taking an eternity and I was starting to get impatient.

Who comes late to an appointment like this?

What a shame!

I was getting impatient and wanted to leave but then I decided to stay back and see who the surrogate is. If she could arrive so late to an appointment such as this, then will she be able to abide by the rules?

Seeing that she still hasn’t arrived, I decided to ask questions about this surrogacy thing and how it works. Especially this IVF method.

“What are the procedures? I inquired.

The director explained to me and made me understand how it works and judging from his explanation, I got to know that the IVF process might take longer, especially if it’s the first time.

“Let’s just hope for the best results, Sir,” The director explained.

“I’ll keep my fingers crossed then.”

I checked the time on my wrist and I noticed that it was late. I can’t continue to wait on someone who might not even show up.

“Excuse me.”

I got up preparing to leave but then, I heard the director say, “She’s here.”

He had received a phone call earlier, I guess it must have been from the lady.

I sat in the director’s office as we expect her to come into the office. Then I remember that I skipped a document and didn’t sign it back at the office.

I kept the documents separately so I could go through them properly. The document is from our latest project. I quickly brought out my phone and sent Robin a message, asking him to bring the documents over to my house.

I got busy on my phone as I explained to my assistant, Robin, what he had to do with the files I left on my computer.

I heard the door to the director’s office click open and someone came in. I was texting Robin to find out if he was already on his way to my house.

“Welcome,” The director said with a smile. I wrinkle my nose in disgust at the sight of his smile.

Eeww

As soon as the lady arrived,  A sweet smell wafted through my nostrils and I couldn’t help raising my head to look at the lady who was bearing such a pleasant scent.

Usually, when I come in contact with a woman. The very first thing that throws me off is the smell of their cologne and their heavy makeup. I get very disturbed when I smell those components. My body reacts immediately and I would start to sneeze.

But this lady’s cologne was refreshing. It was natural. And to my surprise My body reacted to this pleasant smell, however, it was a different reaction.

My body felt calm and relaxed.

There was no sneezing

I got yet another shocking surprise when she smiled. I wasn’t irritated or repulsed.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hi,” She smiled.

My heart fluttered at the softness of her voice. She explained why she was late but I couldn’t hear any of that as my heart was pounding hard against my chest.

I felt her eyes on me but I chose not to speak. I don’t understand what was happening to me and why my body was reacting differently to her. This is the first time I felt this way.

My eyes were itching to look at her but I chose not to. Instead, I busied myself with my phone.

I didn’t hear her reason for being late for the appointment but I heard the doctor’s response.

“It’s okay.”

Then he introduced me to her. She turned to greet me and my heart skipped a beat as she mentioned my last name.

I did my best to avoid looking at her as I responded to her greeting.

“Hi,” I made my response short and precise.

The director’s office became quiet and I could feel her tension. She was tensed and she squirmed lightly on the chair. After a while, I heard her voice again as she spoke to the director.

“What next? She asked.

“You have to discuss with Mr. Clay,” The director replied.

“What?! Speak with me?!

“No.. No.. No,” I screamed inwardly

Her eyes were staring hopefully at me as she asked me what I think of her.

“What do I think of her?” I asked myself again, and the only thing my head could think of was how delicious she smells and how sweet she sounded.

“Goodness, Carlos! When did you start having such perverted thoughts? I chided myself inwardly.

I avoided her gaze because I felt guilty for having such perverted thoughts about her.

“Whatever you decide is okay by me. I just want a healthy baby,” I managed to mutter.

The director nodded and explained what was to come next but I wasn’t bothered by that. My mind was bothered by something else.

“Okay,” I muttered and I hurried out of the office. Taking long strides, I went to my car.

Everything that happened in there was a mystery to me. I kept asking myself over and over what I thought of the lady and my mind kept replaying images of her beautiful smile.

My brain kept thinking of how cool my last name sounded when she called me earlier. Her voice kept ringing in my ear.

“Mr. Clay,” Her voice echoed in my ears.

Thinking about her again made my heart skip repeated beats.

I think I’m about to fall sick.

“Turn the car around,” I instructed the driver to take me to our family’s doctor, Dr. Jordan.

However, as soon as I explained my situation to him, he became happy but he wasn’t smiling or laughing which I know was because of me but it was evident on his face that he was happy.

He got up and examined me again at my behest.

“Carl, you are not sick,” He reported.

“Huh? I asked perplexed.

“How can I not be sick?

“You’re not sick,” He repeated

“If I’m not sick then how do you explain all those strange reactions I got from being by that woman’s side today?

Dr. Smith stood up and circled the table. He came to my side and smiled.

“Those aren’t signs of being ill,” He explained.

“Then what were they?

I glanced at Dr. Smith and placed my hand on my chest.

“I still feel warm in my chest as I think of her.”

“That’s normal,” He replied.

“Normal huh? I scoffed. “How can that be normal?

“Believe me it is,” He repeated.

“My mind keeps replaying images of her and my ears are ringing with her voice. And you say it’s not an illness?

I decided to explain to help him understand my condition better.

“It’s not an illness I can treat.”

I paused and my eyes locked in on Dr. Jordan. “Could it be a Psychological illness then?”

Dr. Jordan shook his head and sighed.

“Carl, I think that woman is the cure to your allergies.”

“What?! I exclaimed. “What do you mean?

I concentrated all my attention on Dr. Smith as he explains.

“I believe that all you felt today wasn’t because you were sick or ill. Instead, it is because you are in love.”

“What Nonsense? I shouted and got up abruptly. “What are you saying?!

“How can I be in love with someone I only just met?

“You don’t have to know someone to fall In love with them. It could be love at first sight

Fuck!

“Dr. Jordan, do you even know what you’re saying?! I yelled at him.

Dr. Jordan placed his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it lightly.

“Believe it or not, Carl, but I can tell you without a doubt that you have fallen in love with that woman.

“Fallen In Love?
