Planned Baby

Chapter 57 CANCELLED

“You don’t look happy,” I told Ellie.

I expected her to cry with happiness now that I finally remember our past. But it did not happen, she looks more scared than happy.

“Of course I’m happy! But I can’t help to feel scared.”

I frowned. “Is it because of my suicide attempt again?”

Ellie slowly nodded. I can’t blame her for feeling that way. I feel a bit happy because I can see that she is scared to lose me forever but I am also feeling a bit piss because of my previous suicide attempt, she became scared of me remembering her or my past.

But if you will ask me, I want to remember my past with her. And I’m glad that now, I finally got my lost memories of her. I can explain myself to her now.

I heaved a heavy sigh and then I hold Ellie’s hand and squeezed it. “Don’t be scared of my lost memories. Everything is different now. I will not attempt to kill myself now because I have you and the kids. Our family is my life now. I will always think of you guys first before making a decision. Please be assured that I will not do that again. I love you and I will never leave you.”

When Ellie gave me her genuine smile, I know that I was successful in giving her assurance.

“So what do you remember?” Ellie asked a bit expectant.

I smile at her and caress her face. “I love you since then until now. I was just too coward at that time. I can’t admit my feelings for you. I was scared because if I tell you how I feel and in the end our relationship will not work out if that happened then I will lose you completely. And I don’t want that. I want you to be in my life forever that is why I want us to remain friends. If we are just friends

we will never break up. But I know that is the most stupid decision I made. Because of my wrong decision, I lost you.”

“But you never reach out to me,” Ellie said while pouting her lips.

I find Ellie’s pouting lips inviting. I was not able to stop myself from kissing her. It was a quick but sweet kiss.

Ellie blushed which I find so cute.

“I can’t help myself from kissing you my Quinn. Your pouted lips are so inviting.” I told her.

Ellie just rolled her eyes but I can tell that she likes my explanation.

“You didn’t answer my question.” Ellie hissed.

I chuckled and kiss her forehead. “I have a reason for that. First, you cut all our means of communication. You change your number, you move out and you did not go to the school I suggested.”

Ellie looks guilty. I smirked at her.

“I’m sorry. I was so hurt at that time. I did everything to forget you which I succeeded. That is why I was not able to remember you when we met at that bar.” Ellie explained.

“I know my Quinn. You don’t need to explain yourself. I was the one who made the wrong decision.”

***

A week after I got hospitalized, I took care of the cancelation of my partnership with Hearst restaurant.

Nick is a good friend but I can’t partner with him anymore after what he did to Ellie. I am sure that he already expected it.

Also, the cancelation of my partnership with Nick will not affect his business. Hearst is already an established company or restaurant.

I am only doing this for Ellie. In doing this, their company reputation will not suffer so much loss.

Though, I know that Nick’s investment withdrawal will give CIC a hard time recovering. Canceling my partnership with Hearst will show that LHI got CIC’s back.

Marco, my new assistant showed me a couple of newspapers where my cancelation of partnership with Hearst is the headline.

I can barely see news about CIC in those newspapers. I was able to hit two birds with one stone.

“Good job, Marco.”

Marco just nodded at me and handed me my schedule for this week.

“Many reporters are asking for an interview with you,” Marco said.

“I will not entertain any interview. Just let the PR team handle this issue.”

Marco nodded and gave me other concerns.

Marco is a good employee. I can see the big difference between Marco and Jace but Marco is a reliable assistant.

I look at the newspaper and read the headlines.

LHI CANCELED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH HEARST.

THE REASON FOR CANCELING LHI’S PARTNERSHIP WITH HEARST.

IS CIC BEHIND THE CANCELING OF THE LHI AND HEARST PARTNERSHIP?

IS MR. ESCARRER AND MR. HEARST FIGHTING OVER MS. CABELLO?

Media is the best in making intrigued. I am not surprised by the headlines they made. The PR team of LHI will surely handle these issues well.

“Ulie you really cancel your contract with Hearst?!”

I called Ulie as soon as I read the news about them. I was busy dealing with the problems that arise in CIC when I read this news on the internet.

“I need to do that for your company Ellie,” Ulie said on the phone.

“I am thankful because you care about my company but you don’t need to do this. You had a great partnership with them. I don’t want you to lose a great partner just to help my company.” I reasoned out.

“I am not only doing this for you, Ellie. Remember, I am also a major investor in CIC. I can’t just do nothing while Nick is messing with your company. And as I told you before, I’m sure that Nick expected this decision of mine to happen.” Ulie explained to me.

I massage my temple because of all the stress that I am receiving because of Nick’s decision.

I can’t help to feel sad because of this situation. Nick is a great friend. He helps me a lot when I needed it the most. I want to keep the friendship I had with him but because of all that happened, I don’t think it is still possible for us to remain friends.

I just hope that all of his actions will be worth it in the end. I really pray that he succeeds in winning Hadley’s heart.

Speaking of Hadley, she is now on her way to my table.

I am currently having lunch with Luna.

“You are all over the headlines again. Do you want to be a celebrity or something?” Hadley said in an insulting tone.

“What the-”

I cut Luna off from saying things to Hadley. I don’t want her to be involved in this issue. “Luna stop. You don’t need to stoop down to her level.”

“What did you say?!” Hadley said while fuming mad.

“Ms. Adelson, I don’t want to be a celebrity or something. I didn’t even make an effort to be in the news. Maybe I am that attractive that is why even the news wants a piece of me.” I told her to piss her off.

“You slut! Bitch! Is Kade still not enough for you? You seduce Kade’s best friend Nick but dump him in the end! What kind of a person are you?” Hadley said. Her voice is a bit loud which made the people look in our direction.

The people start murmuring while looking at our table.

Is this one of her evil plans? It's so cliche. Can’t she think of any other style or move?

“I never seduce Nick.” I just said to her.

I have no energy to argue with her anymore. I don’t want to ride on her act.

“Oh really?! But why is Nick pulling out his investment in your company? Why is Nick look so heartbroken now?” Hadley said still in a loud voice.

The people again start to murmur. I rolled my eyes at them. Another cliche thing. The people surely love to gossip.

“Are you sure you don’t know who is the girl Nick is in love with?” I asked her.

Hadley flinched and became pale. That encourages me to tease or piss her off.

“Do you want me to tell you who is the girl that Nick truly loves?” I teased and pissed her.

“Of course it's you!” Hadley hissed.

I just shook my head from her denial. “Are you sure that you want to waste your life chasing after a guy who doesn’t love you even though you know that there is a great guy who is willing to do everything for you and will surely give you the love that you deserve?” I told her.

I want Hadley to stop these crazy acts. She needs to understand that no matter what she does, Ulie will never love her because Ulie is already in love with me.

Nick is a great guy! Why can’t she see that?! Why can’t she find herself giving another guy a chance to win her heart?

Nick is not just anybody. Nick is one of the richest bachelors here in the country. Many girls would want to be his woman.

I just hope that when the time comes and she can finally see Nick’s worth, it will not be too late for her.

Quen was in love or thought that he was in love with her, and look what happen to Quen now?This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Quen realizes that the woman he was in love with was not Hadley but Kaela.

What if that also happens to Nick? Will she be okay?

“I don’t need love from other guys. I only want Kade in my life. Chasing him is not a waste because he is worth the chase.” Hadley said.

Is there really no hope for you Hadley?

“Are you sure you don’t want Nick? Are you sure that it's okay if Nick will fall for someone else?”
