Planned Baby

Chapter 52 DATE IN PUBLIC

“Your order Ma’am, Sir.”

“Thank you.” I politely said to the waiter.

“I’m still not used to not having the kids on Sunday,” I told Ulie.

We were having our lunch date today. We were done attending the Sunday Service with the whole family when Kaela insisted on bond with the kids today.

I don’t want to agree at first but the kids also wanted to bond with Kaela.

Flashback

“Ellie, can I borrow your twins today? I miss them so much and I want to bond with them.” Kaela said after the Sunday Service.

“I’m sorry Kaela but I can’t allow your request. It’s our family’s commitment to spend time our weekends with our kids.” I explained to her.

“Mom we also want to go with Aunt Kaela today. Right, Amelia?” Alistair said.

I was a bit hurt hearing it from the kids. That they are choosing to spend their time with their Aunt than with us.

“Yes ma’am, we want to go with Aunt Kaela today,” Amelia said.

“But weekends are reserved for us four right?” I reminded them.

The twins look at each other. Then they lowered their head.

“My Quinn just give it to the kids. They haven’t seen their Aunt for months.“ Ulie said.

I glared at him. Am I the only one who values our weekend family commitment?

“Ellie please let the kids go with me today? Just grab this opportunity to have a date with my brother.” Kayla said in a malicious tone.

“Aunt Kaela is right mommy! Go and have a date with daddy!” Amelia said with full of excitement.

End of flashback

I had no choice but to give this day to Kaela to spend with the twins.

“My Quinn stop thinking about the twins. They are in good hands. Let's just enjoy this day. It's not easy to have alone time with you because of our busy schedules.” Ulie said that made me back from deep thinking.

I sighed aloud. “I know. I’ll try not to think of them.”

“Good. Give me this day. I want all your attention on me today.” He said then winked.

I just laugh at his flirting mode.

Ulie brought me to a high-end restaurant. It's more high-end than the restaurant he chose for Hadley. Also, unlike them, we are not in a private room.

I can the place, people keep on glancing at us. I am not surprised though.

“Do you know these people?” I can’t help but ask Ulie.

I recognize some of the people here not because I know them personally but because they are known in the business world, some are celebrities.

“Yes. Why? Did they bother you?” Ulie asked.

I shook my head. “A bit? They keep on glancing at us.”

“Just ignore them. It’s a good thing though. At least now they will be informed that I had nothing to do with Hadley because I’m in love with you.” Ulie said as if it was nothing.

“Should I kiss you in front of them to satisfy their curiosity?” Ulie added in a naughty tone.

I glared at him. “Don’t you dare Ulie! I don’t want to be in the headline again because of you!”

Ulie smirked at me. “Too late my love because I’m very sure that this date will reach the media and we will be the headline tomorrow.”

My eyes widen. Why didn’t I think of that? How stupid Ellie!

“Don’t worry my Quinn, I will not let them insult you. I will make sure that they will give the right news this time.” Ulie said in a serious tone.

My forehead creased. “Is this all your plan?”

Ulie looks uneasy and started to scratch his head. “Yes, my Quinn. Are you angry? I think this is the best solution to correct the wrong news about me and Hadley.”

I shake my head. “I’m not angry. But I would appreciate it if you will tell me your plan. Did the kids also know about this? Did you ask them to spend their Sunday with Kaela?”

Ulie lower his head and nodded. He then holds my hand and squeezes it.

“Yes, they knew about it and they support my plan. As per them, they want to see us in the headline.” Ulie said then laughed as he reminisces the kids' reaction.

I nodded at him. I am satisfied with his explanation.

“So stop thinking about silly things. Stop getting jealous over Kaela. Even how close the twins were with Kaela, you are still the number one woman in their life.” Ulie said assuring me.

My face reddened because of shame. Ulie was right. I was a bit jealous because I thought that the kids want to spend time more with Kaela than me. I’m childish, I know.

Just like what we have agreed, Ulie and I grab this opportunity to have alone time together.

After our lunch, we went to the spa where Ulie is a VIP. He also signs me up as a VIP in the said spa.

We chose the couple massage package.

“Can’t we just have a girl and a guy to do the massage for us?” I whispered to Ulie.

Ulie’s forehead creased. “Why?”

“I am not comfortable seeing another girl touching you,” I said shyly.

I saw Ulie smile and he kissed my forehead. “I’m sorry my Quinn but I can’t do your request. I can’t let any other guy see what’s mine.“ He whispers in my ears.

I can feel my face reddened again. “But they will touch what’s mine.”

Uli bit his lips. I feel a bit hot. “They are professional my Quinn and they will never affect me.” He whispers again on my lips then he bites my ear.

I softly slap him. “Fine! You win!” I said then I went inside the massage room.

I heard him laugh while following me.

***

As expected, Ulie and I were in the headline today. Our photos from every place that we went to were published in the article.

“Mom you look beautiful in all these pictures!” Amelia said while giggling.

“I can’t wait to show my classmates this newspaper. I am sure that they will all shut up once they see this.” Alistair said in a cold voice. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I guess this plan of Ulie is more for the kids than us. They were the ones who were greatly affected by all this chaos created by Hadley.

“I read the news today. I think that will be enough to clear the issue.” Queen said.

I am in his office right now. Since he went out of the county for months, we need to catch up a bit about the project, though it was well coordinated with the people he entrusts the project with.

The team still was the ones leading the project. I was here today because of Quen’s request. I can’t say no to my client.

“I hope so. The kids love the article though.” I said while thinking about the kids’ reaction a while ago.

“I’m sorry for what Hadley did to you. I was not here to stop her.” Queen said with sincerity.

I smile at him. “You don’t need to apologize to me. It was not you who made those moves. Also, I know chasing Kaela is not easy.”

Quen nodded at me. “I know. She hates me a lot and I understand. I deserve it.”

I got curious by his statement. “She hates you? Why? What did you do to her?”

Quen sighed aloud. “I thought that what I felt for her was no malice. That all my concern and protectiveness on her we're because I see her as a sister. Also, I thought that the one I like is Hadley.” He started his speech.

“Whenever Kaela expressed her love for me, I always reject her. She didn't stop though, she still keeps on chasing me.” Quen added.

“Maybe because of that, I never thought that one day she will give on me. But she did. She told me that she had enough and I already won. She is giving on me.”

I can hear from his voice all his regrets.

“I thought that she was not serious. I thought that she will just rest for a while then she will come back and start chasing me but I was wrong. That is when I realized what I really felt for her.“

I can see Quen’s eyes reddened. Is he about to cry? Do I need to prepare tissue?”

“I don’t know what to do. I ask someone to tell her and report everything to me. Then I found out that Kaela was close and protective of you. This is the reason why I decided to do this building project.”

I was about to say something when he signal me not to speak.

“Before you assume everything let me finish first. I made this building project as an excuse to be here in the country. Also, I was planning to get the best architect and engineers. I initially plan just to have a meeting with you and reject your proposal so that Kaela would find out about it and she will go to me. But your skills are hard to let go of. You deserve this project.” Quen said.

I can’t help but be proud of all the things I am hearing from him. I know and I believe that my company deserves every big project that we are getting.

I was about to say something when someone barges into Quen’s office.

“Quen, is what Nic told me true? The memories that Kade has lost is that girl?” Hadley the owner of the voice said.

Hadley's eyes widen when she saw me with Quen. “What is this girl doing here?!”
