Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife

Did Grey Pepare This for Me?

I banished Grey from my thoughts. When I entered, Lia was already there, waiting for me. A pink lunch box and a bottle of mineral water stood on top of the table in front of her.

When she spotted me, her shapely lips stretched into a smile. “I made a Mango float for our dessert" Fumbling inside her backpack, she took a pink Tupperware out. "Your favorite," she added with a grin before Instantly, my face lit up with appreciation. Lia knew I had

an affinity for sweets, and she frequently spoiled me with her homemade desserts. "Thank you! I can't wait to have a tastel" I told her, eyeing the mango float with my mouth watering.

Without a moment's delay, I pressed my thumb on the biometrics on the wall to punch my time out before sinking into the upholstered chair opposite Lia.

After taking the food Celine had prepared out of my lunch bag, I placed it on the table. Lia eyed them greedily, her large eyes widening

even more. "So many," she mumbled absentmindedly, picking up her spoon and fork to indulge herself in the treat, but then she stopped as though she remembered to do something important-far more important than her growling stomach.

I watched Lia lower her spoon and fork on the table with regret in her eyes. Fumbling inside her backpack once more, she produced a small cupcake and a little pink candle.

Amusement lit my eyes when she unsealed the cupcake and buried the tip of the candle on top of it. A lighter magically appeared in her other free hand. She must have taken it from inside her pocket while I wa

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...." Lia sang cheerfully, my cheeks flushing in embarrassment at her over-

the-top birthday preparations. Luckily, we were

alone inside the room, and no one could see us now, or else the whole restaurant staff would realize I was keeping my birthday all to myself.

She could have just greeted me with a happy birthday, and that would have been enough. But being Lia, she had a

few stunts prepared for occasions like this one.

"Close your eyes, Lily. Make a wish." Lia held the chocolate cupcake in her dainty palms and waited for me to blow out the candle.

Closing my eyes, I made a quiet wish. It was not just a wish, but a

desire. It was what I had been wishing to have for years. Just this one wish, Lord. I will never ask anything from you again, a voice said inside my head. Lifting my eyes, I blew out the tiny flame.

“Let's eat. I'm starving," Lia complained. Without a moment's delay, she picked up her cutlery and started to indulge in the mouth-

watering food spread before us. Overcome with hunger, I started to eat too.

It was around four in the afternoon when the second wave of customers finally dissipated. With less than a dozen customers in sight, all of whom were settled in their seats and relaxed while indulging in the foo Sweeping the expanse of the room with a glance and seeing that my assistance wasn't required at the moment, I decided to see Grey in his office. Since the moment he left the dining area after he saw Ash kiss Entering the employee's room, I saw my manager taking her coffee break. I told her I had to go to the penthouse where the CEO's office is located, so I could talk to him, and she gave me her permission. Going to the penthouse had been a long, tortuous task. I nearly turned tail

and went back to the restaurant in fear. But I knew I couldn't forever avoid facing Grey. In the end, I summoned all the courage I could muster to move forward.

My feet grew heavier as I emerged from the elevator and quietly made my way down the elegantly arched hallway. Upon reaching the CEO's office, the violent thud inside my chest almost reached my ears. Tak familiar sound of a deep, enchanting voice from behind the door. Seconds ticked by. However, there was no response.noveldrama
