The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 78

After Derek's call with Evelyn, he paced around his room feeling restless. He had thought hearing from her would make him miss her less, but it only increased his longing for her.

Derek decided to give Ethan a call so they could hangout together and take his mind off Evelyn. He dialed the line and Ethan picked up after a few

rings.

"Hey, man!" Ethan greeted the moment he received the call

"What's up! Are you busy!" Derek asked casually.

"I'm hanging out with Melvin. His wife is pregnant. You won't believe the distance she is making us drive to go get her some pastries and cake. I've heard about pregnancy cravings, but this is wild. She insists she only wants snacks from this bakery. If she wasn't carrying my nephew, I would leave Melvin to handle this alone," he said, and Derek chuckled despite the pang of disappointment he felt.

"So, who's going to run such errands for your contract wife when she gets pregnant and you're away!" Derek asked, and Ethan chuckled.

"That's why I have you and Melvin. You both will take care of her," Ethan said confidently.

"By the way, why did you call! Were you missing me?" He asked, and Derek snorted
