Billionaire’s Baby Mama

{Carlos’ Pov}

It’s Mid June and mom already spoke to the Rays to invite them to dinner. She already knew I wouldn’t find a woman or bring home a child, so she decided on getting me married to Madison Ray.

She called me and invite me home to the Browns Estate to meet the Rays. She didn’t forget to remind me to come early.

“Don’t keep them waiting,” She emphasized.

Hmph! How frustrating!

The Rays reside close to the Brown’s Estate and they’re best friends with my parents. Though they are not as wealthy as us Brown they are well-to-do. Enough to come 5th in the top richest in America rank but we stayed at the top of the chain.

Madison was Chloe’s friend and would often visit the estate. I never liked her because she talks too much so I always avoid her like plague. Besides, she smiles too much when she’s around me and I find that irritating.

How am I supposed to marry someone I find so irritating?

I mean, I don’t like Madison at all. Not even in the slightest.

I must do something about this.

I know there’s no escaping this marriage and the only way I can escape mom’s tantrums is to choose. Either I have a child and still enjoy my freedom or I get tied to a marriage with Madison

And If you ask me, I prefer the former.

Thanks to my assistant, Austin, I got to know that I could have a child without having to impregnate a whore or sleep with any woman.

He told me about surrogacy and linked me up with a top agency in the field but due to my reservations, I hadn’t proceeded further.

I made a mental note to contact them after the so-called dinner.

Though I’d rather avoid this dinner and be at home. However, I know how dramatic mom can get. So I just decided to go.

I left work early and asked my chauffeur to drive straight to The Brown’s Estate. The road was less congested so we arrived early. I got out of the car, straighten my suit, and buttoned it before going in. I could already hear loud laughter as soon as I walk in.

“Eww! I grimaced.

Now I have to endure all this laughter!

I entered the living room and saw my whole family gathered, even Chloe was present. She wasn’t looking as pale and frail as she used to.

“Wow! It’s a full house!” I commented before hugging Mom.

Chloe walked toward me and hugged me.

“Hi Carlos,” She whispered.

It felt so good to hear her voice again.

“Hi Chloe,” I muttered a response.

She clung to me and placed her head on my shoulder.

Sometimes, I wonder how she must have been as a child. She acts too childish.

“I missed you, Carl,” She mumbled.

“I missed you too,” I replied as I kissed her forehead.

My eyes caught Madison and she smiled sheepishly. She wouldn’t stop staring at me and she waved at me but I ignored her.

Her gaze followed me around the room so I decided to say hi to her.

“Hello, Madison,” I waved and she gave me that smile I hate so much.

Eww.

I turn away from her and took a sit beside dad.

“So?

“What? I shrugged.

“What do you think of her? Dad asked as soon as I sat beside him, with his voice a little hushed so the conversation would stay between us.

“Dad I don’t like her! I whispered.

“You don’t have to like her before the marriage. You will learn to like and slowly fall in love with her after marriage.”

I grimaced at Dad’s advice then I shook my head in disgust.

“Learn to what?

“Dad! I’d rather learn to farm than learn to love especially when it’s a girl like Jennifer.”

I was disappointed in dad for giving such advice and it was evident on my face.

“Dad please, spare me that bullshit.”

“Carl, Son, I know you don’t like all this,” Dad began as he switched to his serious mode.

“But I want you to know that whatever your mom is doing is for your well-being.”

“My well-being? I scoffed.

“You aren’t getting any younger, Carl,”

Dad’s gaze went towards Chloe and he sighed.

“Look at your twin. She needs your help but you can’t even do such a simple thing.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Simple thing?

“Dad I’m doing all I can to help, Chloe.”

“I don’t believe that,” Dad shook his head.

He placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Your mom is concerned about you, Son, and so am I.”

“I know, dad,” I felt bad about being the black sheep of the family. I know both my parents are worried about me especially since I act differently from the others. However, I just can’t help how I feel.

Whenever I try getting too close to any woman, I get goosebumps or worse cold.

What to do?

I have been to numerous doctors all around the world, but they all find my case to be strange. They all said I have a disease that has never been registered in history.

“Don’t worry, dear, you’ll do fine with Madison. I heard my dad say from beside me, startling me back to my senses.

What?

“Dad! Please! Anyone but her!”

“Why?”

“I just…”

“What are you both whispering about? Mom stood akimbo before us.

When did she get here? I wondered.

I guess we were too engrossed in the conversation that we didn’t notice when she came close to us.

“Nothing,” I said and dad nods in agreement.

Chloe smiled seeing me fluster and I wasn’t repulsed. This makes me wonder why I don’t get a reaction from going close to the females in my family or to my family’s laughter.

Strange isn’t it? I always wonder why too.

Mom was holding Camilla’s daughter, Selene.

Camila and John adopted little Selene and they’ve been proud parents to her.

Selene was saying something to mom and she squatted in front of her. He was smiling happily at whatever Selene whispered to her.

Seeing mom smile after so long felt so good. She looked happy with Selene. So, I made a decision then and there that I must find a way through this.

Even if I have to sacrifice myself for her happiness.

The maids soon came to tell us that dinner was ready and we all went to the dining room. I know the wedding will be discussed during or after dinner, so I braced myself as I approach the dining table.

The Rays also followed us to the table and I could see Maddy blushing as her eyes made contact with mine.

Can she ever stop acting so Coy?
