My Baby’s Daddy Is Mr CEO

Chapter 36

Chapter 36
Oliver was seated in his office going through some files that needed his attention, he was still worried with the turn out of things back at home. He had managed to leave the house without setting his eyes on either his grandfather or his so-called Asian bride.
He had also instructed the servants to look after his wife and daughter, they were to report to him if anything was to go wrong. He feared that his Grandpa might be rude to Aria, if it was possible, then he would have stayed back with her, but his presence in the office was very much important.
With his eyes still locked on the monitor screen, he noticed the door open and someone stepped in. He raised his face and was about to yell at whoever had walked in without knocking, but he discovered that it was his Grandfather.
“Speak of the Devil,” he muttered and moved his gaze back to the monitor.
“Hey Hey boy,” Grandpa Go called and came to sit opposite him.
“Hey Grandpa, nice of you to check up on me here.” He replied, with his eyes still fixed on his work.
“Well of course, I had to know if things were running smoothly here, and honestly I am impressed with how effective and productive your company has become.” He complimented.
“Thank you Grandpa,” Oliver said plainly and then forced a little smile. He really did not want to smile right now, he was still angry with his Grandfather’s actions, but he tried not to show it.
“It’s fine my boy, now let’s discuss what I had told you last night,” he replied and pulled his chair closer to the desk.
Oliver pretended like he had not heard what the old man had said, his eyes locked on the screen and his fingers typing away on the keyboard.
“Did you hear me son? Have you thought about what we had discussed?” he asked again.
Oliver paused this time around and looked up to him, then he sighed. “Grandpa, I don’t know what you are talking about,” he said bluntly and looked down.
“Don’t try to play dumb Stark, you know exactly what I am talking about, but if you need a reminder, then I am talking about your marriage with Nora, how are you preparing for it?”
“What marriage Grandpa? I am already married to Aria and she has a daughter for me, I don’t need another wife.” Oliver stated.
“Don’t tell me that Stark, based on my calculations, I can tell that you married that girl while she was already pregnant, which means that you were compelled to marry her,” Grandpa Go reasoned.
Oliver frowned and looked up again. “That is not true Grandpa, if you were just making assumptions, then you are wrong. I got married to Aria because I was in love with her,” Oliver defended his wife immediately.
“I don’t think so son, but let’s say that is true, then do you know if she feels the same way for you? It’s obvious she is another one of those gold diggers you have been avoiding for years. You don’t need to tell me that she is from a poor family because I can see it for myself, which means she is only after your money.”
“Grandpa, you are right about one thing, yes… she is from a poor family, but she is nothing like the kind of girl you had described.” Oliver retorted again.
Grandpa Go looked at him with disappointment; he couldn’t understand why his grandson was so obsessed and obstinate about this girl.
“Fine if you say so, but that is not enough reason for her to stay; I mean, she is not even your class, she is of lower status and can’t stand out in our society with you as a pair.” The old man argued.
“Well, you should leave me to bother about that Grandpa,” Oliver replied, waving the old man’s opinions away like they didn’t even matter. He was barely concentrated on the discussion as his mind was already made up, there was nothing that could make him divorce Aria or get married to Nora.
“Why won’t you listen to me, Stark? You are just as stubborn as your father!” he yelled, now getting frustrated.
“I will take that as a compliment, at least I got something from my dad,” Oliver replied and chuckled.
“You think this is funny huh? Well let me make this clear, you would have to divorce Aria or whatever strange name you call her and get married to Nora, that is my decision and it is final.”
Oliver stood up from the office chair and walked to his window, from there he could see half of the city. The weather was strangely hot today which was unusual.
“Grandfather, you know very well that I do not like to disobey you, but what you are asking is impractical. How can you ask me to break up with my own wife who has a daughter for me, just to get married to some arranged bride because of a silly promise?”
Grandpa Go also stood up and hit his hand on the office desk. “It is not a silly promise, it means a lot to me and if you don’t get married to Nora, then I am going to kill myself, that is right, I would commit suicide!” he announced.
Oliver froze and turned back to his Grandfather. “You are joking right? Come on Grandpa, don’t say things like that to scare me, I know for a fact that you won’t do it, you love your life a lot.” He laughed.
Grandpa Go walked to him by the window and looked straight into his eyes, “I see that I do not matter to you, of course you never cared about me or my feelings as you claimed, I was just another random family member to you.”
Oliver sighed, he knew that the old man was now trying to emotionally blackmail him, after finding out that his trick to scare him failed. Of course his grandfather would never kill himself, he cared about the Gomez family reputation and he knew what damage it would face if he did such.
“Please stop doing this Grandpa, we have argued over this for almost an hour now. Just give up on this idea already. I am in love with Ari, she is my wife and I would spend the rest of my life with her.” Oliver announced.
“We will see about that,” Grandpa Go sneered and stormed out of the office.
Oliver shook his head and went back to his seat, he was a bit bothered by his grandfather’s threats of suicide, but he still doubted that the old man would do it.
He brought out his phone to call Aria and make sure she was fine, the two females in his life were his priorities at the moment. Of course, he also cared about his grandfather, he was his only close family after all and he wanted the old man to enjoy his last days with his grandchildren and great grandchildren, but that was not enough reason to lose his source of happiness.
