Billionaire’s

Chapter 132

As Rayna prepared lunch for her and Evelyn, she suddenly laughed when she remembered what Ethan had said about being a girl dad, and Evelyn glanced at her with a raised eyebrow. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hello? Should I be worried? Is everything okay mentally?” Evelyn asked with a teasing smile.

Rayna giggled. “Sure. I just remembered something ET said. How many kids would you like to have, Evie?”

“If Derek and I should get married for real, then I’ll have one more since we have Sam already. That’s two kids. Why? Don’t tell me you’re already discussing kids with him?” Evelyn said incredulously.

Rayna grinned, “He asked me. We both want three. The discussion made me so hot. I couldn’t help but imagine the act that would lead us there. It’s been so long since I had sex,” Rayna said, and Evelyn giggled, shaking her head.

“I can’t believe you’re thinking of sex with a random stranger. You don’t even know his real name.” Evelyn said, amused.

“Hello, Pot! I’m not the one that banged a random stranger on the same day we met and found out his name six years later after having his child the whole time, duh,” Rayna said, and Evelyn hissed, feigning offense as she sat down on the couch.

“You’re such a bitch, you know that?” She asked as she threw a slice of carrot into her mouth.

Rayna laughed. “Hate the message, not the messenger, baby. I speak nothing but the truth,” Rayna said as she stirred the vegetables she was frying.

“How many times do I need to keep telling you that I wasn’t in my right senses when I had sex with Derek?” Evelyn asked, and Rayna rolled her eyes.

“I won’t be in my right senses when I have sex with ET either,” Rayna said with a grin.

“Go ahead then. Have sex with him and have ten or twenty kids. Who cares?” Evelyn asked, and Rayna winked at her.

“You do. And no, I don’t want more than three. Just three is okay. Three is a nice number. Not too many to drive you crazy.” Rayna said, then decided it was time to change the subject.

“So,” she began, changing the subject, “the reunion is next weekend. Have you gotten something to wear?”

“I can pick from all the clothes in my closet, and I’m sure if you don’t like them, you’ll find me something to wear,” Evelyn said dismissively.

“True that. But I was thinking we should get something nice. Derek will be there after all. With that bitch. We can’t let her outshine you,” Rayna said, and Evelyn scoffed.

“Sandra could never outshine me. And I doubt there is anything she could do to take Derek’s attention from me. Derek will be there with her for me, not her,” Evelyn said confidently.

“Still, my dear friend, we need to make sure you look your best for YOUR man. I still can’t believe you’re letting him go with her. I’m too much of a jealous lover to do something like that,” Rayna said, and Evelyn gave her a wry smile.

“Yeah, I mean… I don’t mind. I like to return favors, remember? Sandra lent me Michael six years ago, so I’m just lending her

in return.”

Rayna burst out laughing. “That’s a bitchy thing to say. I still can’t believe those two fools actually tried to blame you for their screw–up the other night. It’s hilarious and pathetic at the same time!”

“I know. I’m honestly looking forward to seeing how this all unfolds,” Evelyn said, a playful glint in her eyes.

“And I’m looking forward to the reunion. It will be fun to see who’s gotten fatter, balder, or somehow married rich. I like how everyone likes to act successful at reunions,” Rayna said, and Evelyn shook her head, amused.

“You’re not a very nice person, you know that, right?”

“I know you love me that way. So, you’re resuming work on Monday, right?” Rayna asked, and Evelyn smiled, but her expression turned thoughtful.

“Yes. I want to see exactly what Sandra’s next move is. I wonder what rumors she is going to peddle about me and the troubles she will cause for me,” Evelyn said with a small laugh.

Rayna shook her head in disbelief. “You are beginning to thrive on this drama, aren’t you?”

Evelyn smiled mischievously. “It’s the least I can do. I didn’t ask for any of this. But now that they’ve brought it to me. No problem.”

“Speaking of which, the new house is it close to the office?” Rayna asked curiously.

“Not really. It’s a bit of a drive, but I don’t mind. The neighborhood is perfect for Sam and is not too far from her school.”

Rayna nodded approvingly. “That’s what matters. As long as Sam is happy.”

“Speaking of Sam, I should check in with Derek. See how they’re doing.” Evelyn said as she picked up her phone.

Before she could dial his line, her phone rang with a call from Liam, and she received the call immediately.

“Hey, Doc!” Evelyn answered with a wide smile, and Rayna raised a brow.

“Hey, Editor–in–chief!” Liam’s familiar voice came through, full of energy, and Evelyn winced, realizing that he didn’t know she lost her job.

“Guess what?” He asked before she could make up her mind whether or not to tell him she was no longer working at Empowered.

“Surprise me.” Evelyn said, curious to hear what he had to say.

“I’m in Ludus!” He announced.

“For real? You’re kidding, right?” She asked in disbelief, and he chuckled.

“No, I’m not

“What are you doing in Ludus? When did you come in?” Evelyn asked excitedly.

“I’m here for a medical conference. I’d love to see you and Sam tomorrow if you’re free,” he said. and Evelyn’s face lit up. “Are you serious? That’s amazing! I haven’t seen you in forever. Of course, we’re free. I’ll text you my address, and you can come by for a visit.”

After a few more pleasantries, Evelyn hung up and turned to Rayna, who was watching her curiously.

“Liam?” Rayna asked, her eyes narrowing in playful suspicion. “Who’s this Liam?”

Evelyn laughed. “Liam’s my friend. He was my OB/GYN when I was pregnant with Sam.

Rayna leaned in with a grin. “Oh. Nice. Is he single?”

Evelyn rolled her eyes, chuckling. “You have a problem, Rayna. You can’t hear about a man without wanting to date him.”

Rayna laughed along. “Okay, okay! I promise I’ll stop… after I’m married. But I’m curious, though. If he was your OB/GYN, that meant he delivered Sam, right? And he saw your kitty?”

Evelyn looked at her incredulously, “What are you driving at?”

“How do you stay friends with a man who has been there without being there?” Rayna asked with a grin.

Evelyn shook her head with amusement. “I’m not going to dignify that question with a response.” Evelyn said as she dialed Derek while Rayna scowled at her playfully.

“Hey, how’s it going?” Evelyn asked when the call connected.

“Really well,” Derek replied, his tone warm. “We just left my parents‘ place. They absolutely adore Sam”

Evelyn chuckled. “I’m glad they do. How’s the date going?” She asked, smiling as she imagined him and Sams together.

10.39 AM

“It’s going smoothly. We’re still out and about. I’m taking her to the Hotel so she can see my suite, and then we will hang around at the playground before I bring her back. Do you want to talk to her?”

“Of course!” Evelyn said brightly.

A second later, Sam’s cheerful voice came through the phone. “Mommy! I met Grandparents Stone! They’re so fun!”

Evelyn smiled, confused. “Grandparents Stone? What do you mean by that, sweetie?”

“My other grandparents are grandparents Quinn!” Sam clarified, her logic delightfully simple.

Both Evelyn and Derek burst into laughter. “I guess that makes sense!” Evelyn said, still giggling

As they continued chatting. Derek’s phone beeped with another incoming call.

“Hey, Sandra’s calling. Derek said after glancing at the screen.

Evelyn rolled her eyes at the mention of Sandra. “I wonder what she has to say this time. I’m with Ray, so I’ll let you go. Just call me when you’re done, okay?”

“Sure. Love you,” Derek said before hanging up, and he took Sandra’s call.

“Hello, pretty!” Derek greeted smoothly, and Samantha scowled, hearing him call someone else that.

Seeing the frown on her face, Derek grinned at her through the rearview mirror and placed a finger on his lips so she wouldn’t say anything.

“Don’t pretty me. Why haven’t I heard from you since our last date?” Sandra asked with a pout.

Derek resisted the urge to snort at her tone. He was amused that she felt she was special enough to complain this way,

“I’m

“Tim sorry, Sandra. I’ve been so busy; You should have called or texted,” Derek said apologetically.

Sandra sighed. “I’ve been missing you. When can we meet?” Sandra’s voice was soft and sweet.

“I was actually thinking we could have dinner tomorrow. With my parents, Derek suggested, knowing that his mother wouldn’t mind such an impromptu arrangement.

He wanted Sandra and Michael together for what he planned to do next. He wanted to see how they would escape his trap.

Sandra’s voice perked up in surprise. “Your parents? You mean it?”

“Yeah. We’re planning to get married, so I think it’s time you meet my family. And soon, I’ll meet yours too, Derek promised, and he sighed inwardly when he saw the hurt in Samanthan’s eyes as though he was betraying her.

Sandra couldn’t contain her excitement. “That’s wonderful! I’d love that,” Sandra said, already thinking of what to wear.

After a few

more excited exchanges, they hung up, leaving Sandra eagerly anticipating their dinner.
