Billionaire’s Ex-Wife & His Hidden Babies - Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Diana’s POV
“I don’t know what to say in this situation, but I really liked Brandon. I mean, I didn’t get a chance to know much about him, but I found him a sensible person.”
“Tommy, will you answer me something if I will ask something from you?”
“Well, that depends on your question.”
“Are Erica’s death and the favor that dad is going to do on Brandon’s father and my marriage related to one another?” I couldn’t help but ask because which family would get her daughter married just a few days later after the death of their eldest son?
“No.”, He lied confidently, and I trusted him as a fool.
“Thank god. I was thinking …. Just forget it. I’m glad that there is no such reason.”, I sighed.
It was time to finally leave with Brandon when I hugged mom and started crying at the thought of leaving her for the first time in my life. I was someone who had never stayed away from my parents until now. In fact, I never went on trips with my friends because dad was kind of strict about it. So, in short, till this age, my whole life surrounded my school, college, and home. Not that anyone tortured me something by doing this, it was just everyone overpampered me because I was the only girl in the family.
I think that was the reason I fell in love with Mason because he showed me the outside world a little; he showed me what I was missing under dad’s strict rules and regulations.
But that freedom cost me early and unplanned pregnancy.
“Diana, stop crying, Princess! You’re not going afar; we will still be in the same city.”, Mom cooed to me.
“Mom, she is not crying because she is going away from you; she is crying because she will miss me, and she can’t say that on my face.”, Addison joked, on which I rolled my eyes, wiping my tears.
“Maybe she is crying that she can’t meet us more often now. But don’t worry, dear! I will keep visiting you.”, Theo said with a wink.
“You guys … should .. stop giving … so much importance to yourself.”, I said, glaring at them. One by one, I hugged all my stupid and idiot brothers, but I busted into tears when I saw the wax statue of Erica, which looked almost real. I wish even he would have been here too. And at last, I hugged dad.
“Hey, guys, what do you say? A family hug?” I asked, on which the smile on the faces of two of my brother faded; Oscar and Owen were not fond of dad or staying anywhere close to him.
But they pressed their lips and forced a smile on their face just to fulfill my wish.
After that, we hardly took a couple of pictures with both my old family and the new one. I couldn’t understand why Uncle Logan and Brandon were not happy when I suggested them to get some pictures clicked with my family.
Observing Uncle Logan and Dad, I could tell that they were not best friends, just as everyone had said. And there was something that everyone was trying to hide from me.
I wondered why?
I kept crying throughout the cry. Brandon didn’t say anything to stop me from crying but did offer me his hanky to wipe my eyes.
Though Mom had said that we would be in the same city, but she didn’t tell me that I would be staying at the end of the city.
When after half an hour, I stopped crying; I heard him speaking, “You had no idea that we were getting married at the marriage registrar, had you?”
“No.”
“Your family member didn’t even think it important to share this with you.”
“Maybe they do this because they have lost their eldest son.”, I reasoned out.
“You’re so naive and innocent, Diana.”, he muttered, shaking his head.
“Tommy says the same. But there is nothing wrong with being innocent. We are not fool or stupid. It’s just we think everyone has a good heart.”, I replied. “By the way, is something wrong with you and dad? I mean, you were not behaving in this way with them, friendly type, etc.”
“I will tell you about that part some other day.” he pushed that topic away, and I didn’t nag after that. At least, he told me that he would share about it later instead of completely denying or lying.
“Oh, okay! By the way, I forgot to ask you what you do as a profession?”
“I’m a game programmer.”
“That’s so cool.”
“Yeah! I kind of enjoy my work. Do you play video games?”
“Nah! I’m not good at it.”
“But these generation kids are pro in all types of video games.”
“I second that. And I promise to get a lot of games for your baby when he or she attends the age of play games.”
I didn’t realize it when I reached his apartment by continuously talking with him. He unlocked the door and walked inside; it was completely dark inside.
“I thought Uncle Logan would be here because he left for there before us.”, I said, trying to see anything, but I failed. All of a sudden, the light of the apartment was lit up, along with a loud noise. I grabbed Brandon’s arm out of fear and felt a lot of flower petals falling on both of us. I looked up and realized the balloon hanging over our head had busted.
I looked around and found the whole apartment decorated with flowers and balloons, and a big banner was tagged on the top.
‘Welcome home, Diana’
And after a while, two staff and dad came into the picture, holding a camera in his hand.
“You can’t take her inside without carrying her in your arms.”, Uncle Logan said strictly, and I could see love in his words.
“Dadddd,” Brandon whined.
“It’s not that every day my son gets married. So, please do it for me.”, Uncle Logan said, pouting and showing his puppy eyes. He was behaving totally differently from the person around my dad. Brandon sighed before looking at me.
“May I?”, He asked like a gentleman, and when I nodded my head, he picked me in his arms.
“Perfect, now give some natural pose so that you two will always have amazing memories of your wedding.”, Uncle Logan said and made us pose in different styles and around the place of the apartment from a different angle. I could feel that Brandon was getting irritated because of it, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth to go against his father’s wish.
“Now that you’re retired. You’re leaving no chance to irritate me, aren’t you?” Brandon hissed in anger, and in the next moment, he faked his smile to get pictures.
“What? I’m enjoying my passions.” Uncle Logan smiled innocently.
