Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

67



Mr Gordon releases her from the hug and takes her left hand. He takes out a diamond ring and slides it onto her promise finger which fits her perfectly.

He stares at her face for what seems like forever, Melanie’s eyes sparkle under the coloured light. Mr Gordon unconsciously smiles at her, which makes her return the smile in two folds.

“Now I feel complete. How long has it been that I have been waiting for this day?” he smiles and plants a kiss on the ring finger.

He raises his head to see her smiling brightly at him. “I love you. My woman!” he says and leans slowly toward her.

Mr Gordon plant a soft peck on her lips, he made to back away when she tug at his collar and pull his face back to her. He chuckles as he understands what she wants.

He interrupts her with such needs as he smashes his lips against hers. She opens up her mouth, giving him access to her tongue. He devours her mouth instantly, wasting no time as he captures her tongue in a fierce battle of need.

She moans out into his mouth and he back away from the kiss when he feels as though they are both running out of air. They break the kiss to catch their breath. Melanie look away from him, unable to look him in the eyes.

Mr Gordon hugs her tightly to his body as soon as he breaks from the kiss.

“Are we now…”

“You are now officially mine!” he chips in and she let out a soft smile as she prays for the moment to last longer and not be a dream.

She runs her hands on his back, fantasising about how they are going to interact after the conversation. What will change? The respect she has for him, or the way his son acts around her? Will Archie like the fact that she’s taking his dead mom position?

She sigh and let her mind to wonder what the boy would likely think of her.

“Now let’s head back to the living room,” he whispers to her face and she smiles shyly at him. “Archie will be waiting,” he says and cups her cheeks in his palms.

Speaking of Archie is what reminds her of the drawing. “Can I check this first?” she asks, pointing at the drawing she drops on her seat.

Mr Gordon chuckles. “I can tell that there is no sketch in that paper.” he laughs and leaves her to check the drawing.

A smug smile creeps up his face as he catches a glimpse of the shock on her face. “What is the drawing all about?” he asks and Melanie shakes her head negatively.

“There is nothing in there.” she groans and Mr Gordon quickly takes her hand in his.

“I’m sure he manipulated the drawing.” he chuckle and pull her out of the studio.

He closes the door behind them, once they step outside the room and they start heading in the direction they take to the studio.

“I can’t believe I got fooled by Archie.” She scoffs loudly.

Mr Gordon laughs at how cute she seems while putting on that angry face. “Just relax, I’m sure he has his reasons.” he take her hand and then intertwined their fingers together.

Melanie’s cheeks get rosy each time he locked their fingers together. She clears her throat and tries not to look at their locked hands. She has been wondering what sort of feelings she has for him, but it’s certain now; it’s love.

“Over here!” Archie waves his hand in the air, the moment he sights them descending the stairs. He grins loudly when he sees them holding hands.

“Happy! Happy! Surprise.” He screams his lungs out as he spread out the original drawing that shows Mr Gordon gazing lovingly at Melanie.

“Oh, my God! Did you draw this?” Melanie gasp, she rush up to him and snatch the drawing from him. “This is so beautiful and perfect.” she cries out as she couldn’t believe Archie could draw such a piece of art.

“Undervaluing me?!” he scoffs angrily. Melanie shake her head amidst her laughter.

“That’s not what I mean. C’mon, you should see the art in your drawing. It’s a beautiful sight to behold.” she says proudly. Throwing her fingers in the air as she speaks.

“You are only saying this to make me feel good. Right?” he rolls his eyes dramatically. “I know my drawing sucks and I’m still trying to perfect it,” he added, his gaze to his father and he marvel at the look on his face.

Melanie shrugs her shoulders carelessly. “If that’s what you think, that’s it then, I can’t change your belief.” She smirks and taps him on the shoulder.

She walks up to Mr Gordon and shows the drawing to him. He smiles seeing that his son portrays his character too well.

“So…” Archie coughed lightly.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Congratulations! Dad and…” he arches his brows and Melanie rolls her eyes at him. “What can I call you now; is mom okay, or still Auntie?”

“Call me whatever pleases you.” Melanie sneers at his face, Mr Gordon’s slight care on her palm reminds her of him.

“Mom! That’s it.” he chuckles and runs into her arms.

The sudden action of his makes Melanie let go of Mr Gordon’s hand. “Hey, easy.” She grins heartily, rubbing his back with tears in her eyes.

“Before you two shut me out I have things to say.” Mr Gordon clears his throat, interrupting the mother and son’s moment.

“What’s up, dad?!” Archie asks, stepping away from Melanie.

“You haven’t received your gift, have you?” he says painfully. He couldn’t believe that his son would care about what he had to gift to him.

“You have a gift for me?” Archie asks, pointing at himself as he stares amazingly at his father.

“Yes. What’s the point of a birthday without a gift?!” he sneers at him.

Archie beam with a smile. “To be honest, I wasn’t expecting a gift from you.” he laugh, shaking his head slightly.

“C’mon, come outside for your gift.” he winks and Archie makes a disgusting face.

“That’s not for me. I guess,” he mumbles under his breath as they all make use of the exit.

“For the celebrant!” Mr Gordon smiles. He brings out control from his pant pocket and unlocks a red power bike with the control. It makes a beep sound and Archie jumps in excitement.

Archie gasp in shock when his father stretches the control for him.

“Dad!” he steps forward and moves his palms to his mouth, covering his mouth before screaming.

“Do you mean -this is mine?” he asks, blinking slowly as his hand unconsciously retrieve the control from his father.

“Yes. That’s for you.” Mr Gordon smiles charmingly. Melanie didn’t say anything, she watch the moment with a ball of tears finding their way out of her eyes.

“I know I have always been a total jerk, but this is me trying to be a perfect dad. Even if it’s little I still want to make today a special day for you.” he let out. Archie stares back at his father to see the sincerity in his eyes.

If anyone should tell him that someday his father would want to celebrate his birthday for him, he would never believe it. Not to talk about getting him a gift.

“Dad?!” Archie calls out more like a question.

Mr Gordon chuckles as he watches his son getting all emotional because of his gift. “Do you like it?” he asks, beaming as he sneaks his hand to Melanie’s waist to tell her he’s still aware of her presence.

“Like?!” Archie scoff, sniffing back his tears. “I love it dad.” he cries and jumps into his father’s arms.

“Really?” Mr Gordon asks the obvious question.

“Very much. And I love you,” he mumbles into his chest.
