Billionaire’s Ex-Wife & His Hidden Babies - Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Third Person’s POV
“I have been observing.”, Diana said, breaking Maddie’s chain of thoughts.
“What?”
“The sales of our products, what else?” Diana responded. “I was thinking of expanding our work in other sectors as well. What do you say?”
“Not a bad idea, but do you have anything in your mind?”
“Hmm. I do. Instead of buying wool for our supplier, how about we directly approach the sheepherder of the rural side and purchase wool from them directly. In this way, we will get a chance to prepare our material on our own, and in the absence of a middle man, those sheepherders can get a good amount of money from us directly without any mediator in the middle.”
“I can see that you are thinking about those poor sheepherders, but your idea is not tempting. Think something else, something better.”, Maddie remarked, on which Diana nodded her head. Immediately her nose was hit with a familiar scent, and she slowed down the car.
A scent that was familiar to Marcus and Judy.
“What’s wrong?”
“Where are Judy and Marcus?” Maddie asked, looking around in an alert mode.
“They are at home. Vígi texted me a moment before that she had brought them home from kindergarten. Because of the sudden death of one of their teacher. The school gave leave to all the kids before time, and maybe they will remain close for a day or two. But why are you asking this? Is everything all right?”
Maddie parked the car in the parking lot of the hotel and sniffed in the air.
“What happened, Maddie? Can you smell the scent of Marcus and Judy near the hostel?”
“No. Not exactly the same scent, but a part of their scent is familiar to the scent, which I can sense here. As long as pups don’t turn eighteen, their scent is the mixture of their parents. And the same thing goes with both of our pups.”, Maddie clarified, sensing that Diana’s Ex-husband was here, smelling his faint scent.
‘So, he came. He came. Both my pups will be so happy to meet him.’, Maddie thought and concentrated her mind and nose to focus on one particular scent, and she sensed a mixture of Alcohol in his scent.
While Diana’s leg froze, realizing the meaning of Maddie’s word.
‘Brandon … Brandon is here? How? Why? Maybe because of any business meeting?’, Diana thought and wondered whether she should go inside the hotel or not. But to her surprise, Maddie was going in the opposite direction of the road.
‘Where is she going?’
“Maddie… “, She yelled, but Maddie just showed her hand and kept walking toward the beggar lying outside the bar. He looked terrible. She was positive that he couldn’t be Marcus and Judy’s father but damn to her smelling sense. It was playing a trick on her.
“Maddie!!”, Finally, Diana too reached near her and kept her hand on Maddie’s shoulder. “Why are you going toward anywhere near like this place?”, She asked, making a disgusting face. She hated Alcohol and the person drinking it.
“Nothing. My nose is playing tricks with me. As per my sense, this homeless beggar is the father of your pups.” Maddie laughed at her stupidity. The one who had given Diana a black card could never be some beggar, of course! What was she thinking in the first place?
That was when Diana’s eyes landed on the person about whom Maddie was making fun, and in the next moment, her heart sank seeing the person lying on the floor like a beggar and some amount of money thrown around him.
(‘Beard and Mustache? He hates that and always keeps a clean shave.’
‘He keeps short trimmed hair.’
‘Your father is a perfect gentleman! No bad habits. Not a all.’
‘Your father has a good physique and six abs.’
‘Not just that, he is so strong that he can kick anyone’s ass and break their nose.’
‘I knew that dad would be strong as Superman.’)
She gasped and ran toward him. Even though he looked like shit, her eyes could never fail to realize the person who always held her heart.
“Diana!! Please tell me that he is not the one whom I’m thinking.”, Maddie said, shaking her head.
“Brandon? Brandon?” Diana tapped his cheek and tried to make him awake, but he wasn’t. Diana didn’t reply to her question but indirectly answered her question. “Maddie!! Bring the car! We have to take him to the hospital.”, Diana cried, holding Brandon close to her heart. The tears were following out of her eyes non-stop, seeing Brandon in this state.
What had happened to him?
“Diana, I will take him to the hospital. You can attend the investor’s meeting because that is important.”
“I said BRING THE CAR.”, She screamed. Now Maddie realized why Judy started screaming whenever he was on the verge of crying or crying. “Nothing is more important than him right now.”
Well, Maddie didn’t mean to say those words; she was just checking Diana’s reaction.
In the car!!!
“Brandon, wake up, please!” Diana whispered and kept crying at the same time. She couldn’t understand how and what happened to him because of which he had turned from a muscular man to a skeleton.
“I can smell that there is a lot of Alcohol in his body.”, Maddie commented.
“But… but he never used to touch Alcohol.”, Diana cried. “ Do you … do you think someone forcefully made him drink Alcohol?”
“No. If someone would have applied force on him, then the Alcohol would have fallen on his clothes as well, but it didn’t. So, he knowingly and intensionally drinks it. Moreover, looking at his state, it doesn’t look like he had a drink for the first time. He is a heavy drinker.”
“But… but he wasn’t like this five years back.”
“Even you are not the Diana what you’re today, five years back. Things change along with time, and so do people.”, Maddie pointed out.
