Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

Mark shrugged, "I don't know, Sydney, but trust me, I said nothing to anyone." He stopped and carefully let Aiden's weight be on his second hand before he continued. "The entertainment journalists have a habit of saying nonsense, it has nothing to do with me. Who knows? Perhaps one if the nurses tipped them. And it's so unfair that you blame me for this. It's so unfair."

"I don't care if you did it or not," I erupted, still angry. "Such fake news should be taken down the second it goes online."

He pressed his lips together and nodded. "I agree with you."

"Then for how long has this fake news been circulating everywhere? I have been out of the delivery room since and such fake news is still being recreated and spread. Don't tell me that as the CEO of GT Group, without your connivance, this news could exist for so long?!"

"I admit that I might have selfish motives," he shamelessly admitted, "In case you casually mention to the outside world that Aiden is my child, then our remarriage is not impossible. You know that m, right?" He wiggled his brows and I felt the insane urge to smack him on the forehead and make those wiggling brows draw down in pain.

When he saw that he couldn't get a smile or laugh out of me, he shrugged and hastily added, "But since you don't want to do that, I'll have the news taken down, I promise."

"You better!" I told him sternly, my anger slowly dissipating as I rested my back on the headboard of the bed.

"I will. Don't be angry. You shouldn't be mad or yelling at a time like this," he said softly and I couldn't even bring myself to direct a glare or snarl at him as I would have liked.

"I'm going to Italy to find Lucas," I said firmly. When I turned to take in his expression, it was the same as usual.

Over the time, Mark had managed to stop scowling or scoffing whenever I mentioned Lucas in his presence. Instead, he always had this face and demeanor of indifference whenever I mentioned him. Just like now, he didn't act or look surprised or pissed, he just kept making cooing noises at Aiden as he slightly swayed him in his hands.

After a few seconds of staring at his rich dark hair, he looked up and drawled, his brows raised. "Okay...?"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I took that as my cue to continue to say what I had in mind. "I am going alone, without Aiden," my eyes fell on Aiden in his arms and I can already tell that I would miss him sq much but atleast, I'd be rest assured that he was in safe hands.

"While I'm away, I'll entrust Aiden to you and Grace." I looked up at him and found his gaze already on me. "Mainly you though, Grace will be busy dating."

Mark switched arms to hold Aiden as he bobbed his head, "Wow wow wow, you don't give me the title of father, but let me take on the responsibility of a father. That's too unfair, don't you think?!"

1 chuckled lightly. Then I teased him, "Didn't you say that you're completely in love with me?"

Mark had also not hidden the fact that he had fallen in love with me all over again from me. Even though I

told him, my heart belonged to Lucas and we could never work, he said nothing will change for him and still stayed.

A reminder for me, Mark is a stubborn man. Period. It should always be at the back of my mind.

"Well," I shrugged as I continued to joke, "This is the price you have to pay for loving me. If you are not willing, then you should just stop loving me."

He looked stunned and I reminded myself that the man was a brilliant actor. He closed his eyes and used one of his hands to clutch his chest. "Ahh, Sydney, you never hesitate to hurt me with your harsh words."

I bit my lips to hold back my laughter and played along. "You can easily put an end to the endless heartaches and stop loving me."

He opened his eyes and playfully glared at me. "Not on your life, woman." Then he sighed and said in a self -mocking tone, "Alright, alright. I promise to look after him perfectly." He flashed me a heartwarming smile, "Once again you've won."
