Chapter 48

Julian Cross

~•~

As I drove over to the restaurant, my hands were clammy with sweat. I could command a boardroom filled with adults at work, but right now, two five-year-olds were making me nervous.

I’d met them before, but they had no idea who I was.

Aria had finally told them the truth about me, and I had no idea how they took it. I wasn’t even sure if they were looking forward to meeting me.

Our first encounter wasn’t exactly the best—they accused me of kidnapping them and th

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret   93

    Chapter 93Aria Blake ~•~ It was going to be a busy day because I had to move my things to the new apartment. I didn’t want the kids to be a distraction, so I decided to drop them off with Julian. As soon as I parked my car in the driveway, I saw someone walk out of the house angrily. It was Harper. My heart skipped as I recognized her. Harper and I still hadn’t talked to each other. I didn’t confront her about what happened. I had no idea why I was even nervous to see her. Maybe I just didn’t believe that we would turn out this way. “Mommy, that’s Aiden’s mother, right?” Owen asked me from the back seat. I nodded. “Yes.” “Why does she look really upset?” I figured she just argued with Julian. What was she even doing at his house so early? ‘Should I wait for her to leave or should I just get out of the car?’ I thought to myself. Then I opened the door immediately. I didn’t have to hide. If anything, she was the one who was meant to hide from me because she betrayed me.

    Chapter 92 Julian Cross ~•~ “What are you doing here so early in the morning?” I groaned as I walked into the living room and saw Harper seated on the couch like she owned the place. She stood up, looking at me with accusatory eyes. “Why would you keep my son in the care of another woman without my consent?” I rubbed my sleepy eyes, so I would understand what she was saying. “What are you talking about, Harper?” I asked, confused. She scoffed bitterly. “Oh, please. Don’t act like you don’t know what I am talking about.” I sat down on the couch and turned on the television. “I honestly have no clue what you’re talking about. How did I keep Aiden under someone else’s care without your consent?” She hesitated before she continued. “Aria… you let her watch him without getting my permission.” I let out a deep exhale. “Really? That’s what you came here to tell me?” I asked, shaking my head in disbelief. Could I even say that I was shocked? It was Harper. I expected it from her bec

    Chapter 91Aria Blake ~•~ [ Call me as soon as you see this, Aria.] I stared at Samuel’s text message. Another one popped in almost immediately. [ You can’t ignore me forever, Aria. Call me so we can talk. You asked movers to come to the house without informing me.] “Aria, just call him at least,” Claire said, sounding pitiful on his behalf. “You really can’t ignore him forever.” I picked up my phone from the table and rested my head on the couch cushion. “Claire, focus on your movie and stop looking into my phone.” Claire rolled her eyes. “Just call him.” I stood up from the couch and made my way to the guest room in my mother’s house. I dialed Samuel’s number. He answered on the first ring. “Finally,” he muttered under his breath. “What’s up?” “What’s up?” he repeated with a hint of amusement in his voice. “I’ve been calling you for days and you’ve been ignoring me intentionally.” I rolled my eyes. “I’ve been busy.” “Busy?” he scoffed. “But not busy enough to send mov

    Chapter 90Aria Blake ~•~ “I want you to know that I’m deeply sorry. And if I could go back in time, I would have been more careful,” Julian apologized. “I hate that you have to go through this.” “Go through what?” I asked, folding my arms around my chest. “The humiliation of—.” “We aren’t together anymore,” I cut him off before he could finish his sentence. “Nothing is humiliating.” That was a lie. It was extremely humiliating. Knowing that my ex-husband and my ex-best friend have a child together was the worst information ever. Things were better when I didn’t know about it. “Really?” Julian asked, stunned. It was as if he was expecting a different answer. I nodded firmly. “Yes.” He had a disappointed expression on his face. “Can you take me on a tour of the apartments right now? And can the kids come with us?” I asked, changing the topic. “They deserve to have a say in their new home.” Julian pinched the bridge of his nose. “Sure.” I turned off the tap and we both ma

    Chapter 89Aria Blake ~•~ “Aiden! Stop running around,” I said for what felt like the millionth time. “Sit on the couch and watch the television.” Aiden paused and glared at me. “You’re not my mommy, I don’t have to listen to you,” he said firmly. “And it’s my daddy’s house, I can run around if I want to.” I was baffled. “I know it’s your daddy’s house, but you can fall and get injured. I don’t want that to happen under my watch.” “Mommy, stop wasting your time. He doesn’t listen to people,” Owen said, clearly displeased. I shook my head. Harper had spoiled her son. “Aiden, I won’t repeat myself. Stop running around. The living room isn’t a playground.” “Leave me alone!” He yelled. I blinked. I knew there was no point saying anything to him again. He would only disrespect me. It was hard to understand why a little boy would be so disrespectful. With a sigh, I sat back on the couch. Aiden continued running around the living room even though no one was chasing him. I loo

    Chapter 88Julian Cross ~•~ “I don’t know if she’s going to go for it, but that’s the best I can do.” Cole sat down in the chair across from me. He looked around the office before he finally cleared his throat. “What the hell are you talking about?” He just walked into my office and that was the first thing I said to him. I chuckled. “I’m sorry.” “You’re going crazy.”“I’m talking about Aria. I told her I would give her custody of the kids if she decides to stay in New York.” His eyes widened. “You want to let go of the kids?” I shook my head. “No, I wouldn’t do that,” I answered sharply. “Shared custody. I just want her to be closer to me. That’s the best thing to do.” Cole nodded. “Yes. From what you said, I’m guessing that she didn’t agree.” I dropped the pen that I’d been squeezing for the past hour. “Yes. She said she’s going to think about it.” He pinched the bridge of his nose. “There’s no way she’ll turn an offer like that down.” “But what if she doesn’t want to le

    Chapter 46Aria Blake ~•~ I took a deep breath before I continued. I reached out and took both of their small hands in mine, squeezing them gently. “The two babies turned out to be both of you.” The room fell thick with silence. Isla’s gaze dropped to our joined hands. “But…” Owen stammered,
