All Chapters of My Roommate Is My Baby Daddy : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"I must have offended someone in my previous life!" Jade said with frustration as she carried wailing Harper to the back of the building to calm her down. She had thought that working here was going to be smooth for her but boy oh boy.Harper had only made things worse for her. She kept crying and crying. No matter how much she tried to calm her down, she never stayed for too long. She tried to get her to play with the elderly ones but it seemed their presence only terrified the baby even more. She just wanted to be in the hands of her mother and even at that, she still didn't let her mother rest. "Harper, please. You know how bad I need this money. It's going to be Christmas soon. Don't you want mummy to get some money to buy you gifts and toys?" She asked pleadingly, her eyes boring into her daughter's which only reminded her of Jace. As she fed Harper, her mind drifted far away to him. She had completely avoided the young man for a few days now because she thought it was ju

"What are you guys doing?" Jade asked and as soon as Jace's face came in to full light, Jade could hardly stand still. Despite how hard she tried to control it, she failed. She staggered to the side as she burst into laughter, falling down to her knees gently amd holding onto her tummy for balance. Jace rolled his eyes playfully but the pure laughter coming out from this woman only made his heart tingle.He sure didn't expect her to laugh this hard. Maybe this could have amused her, just a little. That was his thought. But this...her reaction. It was valid and genuine enough. "Alright you can stop laughing now, Jade. It's really embarrassing to see you laugh at my face." Jade managed to say but not without a smile emerging on his face instead. Jade finally calmed down but couldn't stand up instantly anymore. Instead, she leaned against the chair so her laughter could slow down. "You look...funny." she managed to catch her breath. "Judging from your reaction, I can s

"Where are you?" It was no other than Jackson who was on the other side of the call. He was munching on an apple as he stared at his friend, Jace, from the other side of the phone. Jace was dressed in all black and was wearing a nose mask. "You don't know where I am? You can't see?" Jace replied, causing Jack to roll out his laughter. "You look like a ninja on a mission." "Well...that's no further from the truth. "It's been a few days and some of the things that he bought for cooking had finished. He wanted to get more before Jade's arrival. "But whose child is that? Yours? You look alike. She has your eyes...infact, your whole face." Jace chuckled, "You can also see that, right? I thought I was crazy." He had noticed a few similarities between him and Harper but he didn't think too much about it. It was only for two people to look alike. Maybe it was because of the similarities that he felt drawn to the kid. "But whose child? Mara's friend's?" "Yea

The sound of a car's engine being roared to life was what woke Jade up. Her eyes fluttered open and she blinked her lashes a few times just to get the blurriness off her vision. She realized that she was still in the living room and she was on the couch. The engine from outside suddenly stopped and that was her cue to stand up. Jade gently pushed herself up from the sleeping position and looked around the room. It was empty. What happened? The coat on her shoulder slipped off to her lap and that was what grab her attention. It was a long black thick coat and she was sure that it didn't belong to her. That was when it clicked. It had Jace's scent all over it. It was his. She curled her fingers underneath it and squeezed as she brought the coat closer to herself to inhale. It smelled nice. He smelled nice. He didn't change the perfume he had been using. She closed her eyes and flashback to the moment that they had spent together. When she opened her eyes again, they landed on t

"If it's possible for you, ensure you come home before Christmas. You don't have to celebrate it with them. I know that place will be more toxic than hell and you need to start the new year with peace of mind, not chaos. Just go there and come back." Mara advised as she collected Harper from Jade's arms. The latter had come early that morning to drop Harper off so she could embark on her journey. "I don't intend to stay there for even more than 24 hours but let's see what happens. It might also be a way for me to visit my dad's grave." Jade replied. She smiled and touched Harper's cheeks before leaving for her journey. As the bus drove past the busy streets, Jade couldn't help but drown herself in her river of thoughts once more. She had taken permission from her work, saying her mother slipped, hit her head against the ground and had a concussion She chuckled amusingly at her lie and even folded more into herself. Will that ever happen? Nope, it won't. Bad people alwa
