The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical
Chapter 116
Dominic
It's been seven weeks since I brought Vanessa to the orphanage so she could speak to management about her idea and it's finally the day of the launch.
My parents, siblings, father-in-law, Frank and a few other people are all here at the orphanage to witness the launch.
Though Frank suggested that we should have the press, I instantly turned down the suggestion as I don't like to publicize everything that I do for the children. Given the honor of cutting the ribbon is Penelope, who is finally out of the hospital. Just as she cuts the ribbon, we all give a round while standing behind her.
Before I can say a word, the children excitedly run towards their extended and improved playground by stepping on the ribbon, making me look over Vanessa, who stands right next to me and she chuckles. Even with all the children screaming, I feel like speaking to her right now, so I lean toward her.
"You did it," I proudly say to her.
She nods, her lips curved into a smile. "Yes, but you also had a role to play."
"I know I did, but that was the small part of it. Since you were able to handle this, you'll definitely be ready for your hair care line."
Her smile fades as she looks away. "We'll talk about that later."
I straighten up with a sigh, already understanding that she has something to say about the team that I came up with.
Just as we both watch the children play around, I sense her from the corner of my eye looking down and when I look over, she's on her phone.
"Do you think this is the time for that?" I ask
"I'm just texting Mia about the time we're meeting up today."
"Oh, it's Mia?"
"It's not always Patrick. Give it a rest." She rolls her eyes.
I clear my throat, a little embarrassed. "How can you blame me when he calls you more frequently now that he's busy with work and you seem to be the one person he constantly wants to talk to?" She scoffs. "Don't even go there."
"I just don't understand why-"
"Shh! Here they come!"
She gestures behind us using her eyes and I figure out that everyone's getting closer to our spot.
Putting aside what I have to say to her, we turn around together and approach everyone so we can meet halfway.
My mom instantly embraces Vanessa and says, "Congratulations, my daughter. Once again, I have no doubt in my mind that when it's your turn to become parents, you'll be amazing!"
Though everyone chuckles with amusement, Vanessa's eyes widen a little as she glances at me with a fake smile.
I look over at Frank and he just subtly shrugs at me.
Until now, Vanessa's not yet pregnant and hearing everyone share the same sentiment right after my mom, makes it a little awkward for Vanessa and me. We've never spoken about it ever since we fucked at the hotel that night, which was over seven weeks ago.
Though I haven't touched her intimately in such a long time, seeing her whenever I'm back home from my business trips always feels like a new experience. She's been changing up her style and I like everything I see. Everything always looks good on her no matter what it is.
Before, all I did was lust after her but seeing how far we've come, I've come to appreciate more than just her voluptuous figure.
Since our parents have other engagements to attend to, they leave right away, my father-in-law delaying by a few minutes just so he can have a word with me regarding the investor.
After he also leaves, Vanessa, Frank, Jake, Sophie and I take over in the cafeteria, serving the children's meals while they wait in line for their turn.
Though I interact with them as I put lots of vegetables on their plates, something that's been on my mind becomes too difficult to keep to myself, so I whisper to Vanessa since she's right next to me at the end of the serving line.
