Drawn to You: The Billionaire’s Second Wife

She stood on her feet staring at the female opposite her, her face was chiseled and Nessa couldn’t stand staring at such looks.

What the heck is she doing in my bakery? How did she get to know that I was staying here? But, do I have any business with her that brought her here?.

Those questions ran through her mind, but she wasn’t able to give a single answer to any.

She isn’t scared of her father, but there’s nothing binding them together. Truly, she has accepted to start working for her fiance, but that shouldn’t be the reason for her coming because she isn’t the one to pay her.

“You know that keeping mute will not let me know the reason for your coming, you have to say a word and quit glaring at me that way.” Nessa broke up the silence between them.

She took a seat while watching Vanessa as she got seated too.

“I am not here to quarrel with you, rather I want you to do me just one favor. Just one.” Lilian narrated.

Nessa stretched her lips trying to gaze at what the favor was all about. She was all ears to hear all she had to say if the favor is about Chloe or her Father.

“Vanessa, please stay away from my fiance and his family. I don’t ever want to see you close to that building all in the name of being a babysitter. This is your bakery and you’re doing well with it, so go ahead and manage it…” Lilian declared.

Nessa couldn’t stop staring at the lady, she thought of expressing how funny everything sounded to her but pushed it aside.

She needs to know the exact person that brought her here. Is it about Xavier or Chloe? So she will need to know how her reply will be.

But then, why is she worried about it when she is already getting married to the man soon. If only she knew that Chloe has been passing through because of her absence, and the amount of money Xavier had spent because of the little girl’s health… she won’t have the guts to keep uttering such rubbish to her hearing.

If possibly she is here because of her fiance, then that’s fair to handle because she has nothing to do with Xavier when he’s married.

But talking about Chloe, she can’t resist it or two things will take place. She can’t watch that girl pass through hell again when she’s living and capable to care for her.

Anyways, she’s so sure that neither Chloe nor her father will tolerate it though.

“Lilian, you ought to tell me the exact reason behind your visit. Are you here to caution me to stay away from Xavier or Chloe herself? I can’t get you.” She questioned her.

She bit her lips in dismay, that question wasn’t her expectation from Vanessa. She had wanted to see her accede to her order without question.

As the fiancee to the mighty Xavier, she expects everyone to be scared of her just like Xavier. But to her greatest shock, Vanessa is seating beside her questioning her order.

“Don’t make such a mistake again vases, I have given you the order and so I don’t expect you to question me for any reason. If Xavier ever employs you, what you shouldn’t try is questioning his order or he will lose it on you.” She narrated filled with anger.

Nessa smiled inwardly, she has known that it would reach this extent.

“Now what are you trying to say? That I’m gonna be scared of you huh? Do you realize that there’s a big difference between you and Mr. Xavier Brown?” She licked her lips adjusting to her seat. “Lilian you ought to tell me the reason you are here, I need to know if it’s about your fiancee or his little daughter.”

She snapped her face instantly. “Okay, so what are you up to if it’s about either of them?”

“If you are here because of Mr. Xavier Brown, then note that giving you a listening ear is under probability, that’s because he will rather give me the order to stay away from him and focus on his daughter alone. But if it’s about Chloe, then I’m not giving you a listening ear to all you’re uttering, because I know the repercussions and your fiancee will not even take that shit.” Vanessa narrated boldly.

Lilian couldn’t stop glaring at her, she wondered the sort of authority the lady seating beside her has gotten from Xavier that she couldn’t achieve.

The looks on her face could order the ground to eat up Vanessa if it’s so possible for her. But she only gritted her teeth as an expression of how angry she is at the moment.

” I believe he has employed you, but I don’t care to know how you discussed it with him. But Vanessa, don’t ever test my patience by approaching Xavier for any reason. If you want anything from him, you can get it through me or rather the girl you’re babysitting. Don’t ever stand opposite Xavier all in the name of discussion, because I can’t take that trash from you.” Lilian yelled to her hearing.

Nessa grimly mocked her way. “I am only coming there to babysit Chloe, not to take your fiancee away from you. And lest I forget, don’t expect me to approach you all because I need something from Xavier. I’ll always tell him directly myself okay.”

Lilian got on her feet, she glared at Nessa for a while, and let out a loud but annoying hiss. It didn’t move Nessa an inch, all she did was stare at her until she left her bakery.

She couldn’t believe Lilian would have the guts to pay her such an annoying visit. This is one of the reasons she never accepted the work at first since she came to know that Xavier has a fiance.

The presence of a customer distracted her thoughts, and she got on her feet to serve the young man what he wanted.

After he left, she got seated again in thought. This is eating her up and she doesn’t know how to go about it.

Lilian has succeeded in spoiling her good mood for the day, she couldn’t find happiness within her again. Although she has planned to go babysit Chloe at night but didn’t let the little girl know about it. She had changed her mind to start the next day.

The anger in her is damn irritating, and she would want neither Chloe nor her father notices it. All she needs is to go home and take a big rest, after which she will start work the next day.

She had waited for Chloe to return as she promised, but till the sunset, she didn’t notice her presence. She was well convinced that she might have slept off, and the reason behind it being so easy is her presence beside her.

Luckily for her, she sold out all the bakeries in her oven. That alone made her smile again after the long day filled with anger.

She locked her bakery and left back home in a haste.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

**********

After Xavier and his family had dinner at night, he sat comfortably on the sofa in the sitting room busy with the television.

Chloe ran to him climbing on his thighs and resting her head on his chest. She felt so happy assuring herself that Vanessa will start work the next day.

“How was the day with Vanessa, hope you visited her at the bakery?” Xavier tried drawing the attention of the little girl who was about to doze off.

She nodded while her eyes were shut closed. “I’m very sure she will start work tomorrow, I can’t wait to see her again,” Chloe uttered, her voice feeling weak.

Xavier noticed that she was about to doze off on his thighs, he made her feel comfortable in his arms rather.

He cuddled her and noticed she wasn’t with him some minutes later, it gladdened her.

It’s high time Chloe slept off so easier as she just did, all these days before the accident occurred, she hardly shut her eyes talking more of dozing off.

He lifted her into his arms and left them upstairs to her room, he laid her on the bed and covered her with a blanket before exiting the room.

Just as he stepped into his room, he caught Lilian seating on the bed with her face twisted.

He sat beside her trying to cuddle her but she resisted it, she didn’t bother taking a glance at him rather.

Her sudden behavior baffled him that he began questioning her just to know what was eating her up.

Lilian got her question and stood on her feet.

“I’ll like to come live with you here even though we aren’t married yet. You either grant me this favor or forget everything about me in your life…” Lilian stated.

His eyes widened out of shock, she wasn’t expecting her to state such a thing after all this while.

He felt a strange sensation in him, it isn’t possible letting Lilian live with him when they aren’t married yet, but then, he doesn’t want to lose her.

It baffled him.
