Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 67

Dante’s POV.

“Mr. Crawford.” I grumbled at being called and turned my face away from the direction the voice had been coming from but groaned when I felt a pain in my n*eck.

“M- Mr Crawford.” Again that voice had called me and I muttered some thing that I even I couldn’t care to make out

Again, the voice said my name but this time it had been accompanied by a shake of my shoulder that was impatient and none too gentle.

I jerked awake and instantly got hit right in the eyes by the damn sun striking me through the open curtains. Cupping my n*eck with my palm, I sat up straight and tried to make sense of where the hell I had been.

I couldn’t recall how and when I had fallen asleep on the couch in the living but some point between trying to figure out this mess, I might have dozed off.

“Good morning, Mr Crawford. I brought you some coffee.” Nancy said politely but I had felt like she had addressed me formally far too many times in the span of a minute.

Nancy rested the small tray that held a coffee mug and a few sugar cookies on to the table in front of me before straightening her posture and turning to leave.

“Thank you, Nancy, you really didn’t have to.” I grumbled but she smiled and left the room.

I turned my head from side to side trying to case the tension in my n*eck before reaching for the coffee and taking a sip of the hot, black liquid. It was good and just what I needed since some thing alcoholic would be questionable at this part of the morning.

As I reached for a cookie, I wondered what Sophia would say to me eating in her living room but the thought of Sophia had me drop the cookie back on to the saucer.

F***. I needed to get going.

I walked with the coffee mug over to the kitchen and tried to drink as much of it as possible. Hayley had been waiting patiently for breakfast as Nancy prepared it for her trying to speak to her as if nothing were amiss when we both knew otherwise.

“Has mama left you. kitchen.

message of when she’ll be home?” She asked Nancy just as I entered the

I saw Nancy freeze over the toast she had been buterring. “No, but I’m sure we’ll hear from her soon. Hayley sighed in frustration but when she saw me her eyes lit up in the way they always did.

“Did you speak to mama? Is she coming home soon?” Her round eyes looked up at me with so much of hope that my response would defer from Nancy’s.
