Billionaire's Contracted & Unloved Wife - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Chapter 171: Chapter 171 “Mummy, did you see my toy room?!

Daddy hot me loads of them, it’s so awesome,” Jace ran down the stairs and flew into Ariel’s arms, who was sitting on the couch.

Ariel laughed, hugging Jace to her chest.

She lifted her lap and kissed his cheek, “Yes, honey, I saw it; your dad is the best, right?” She held his little hand and kissed it.

Jace nodded, “Yes, Mummy, I love him!” He turned in her arms and hugged her.

Ariel smiled, gently hugging her son.

She was so happy that Jace was bonding well with Aiden; she had thought the relationship would be strained because they’d just met as father and son, but she was wrong; Aiden made sure he made his presence felt in Jace’s life.

She heard Aiden come down the stairs and leaned his back against the wall near the stairs.

He was looking at Ariel and Jace, a smirk playing on his lips.

Ariel stared at him smiling, but her smile dropped, and her expression turned into disbelief when she realized that Aiden was giving her ‘the look.’ She couldn’t believe him.

They had done it four times inside his office!

Yet he dared to give her that sexy predator look.

He was wearing a black men’s tank top; his muscles bulged out of his biceps as he folded his arms against his chest, biting his lips as he slowly ran his eyes along her boy.

She scoffed, and looked away; she wasn’t going to give in for the sixth time in the space of two hours!

Aiden walked over to them and lowered himself beside Ariel.

“Daddy, can I sleep with you and mummy tonight?” Jace raised his face to ask his father innocently.

Ariel smiled when she saw the disappointed look on Aiden’s face.

She knew what he was thinking and she loved the fact that Jace was acting as her shield from the big bad wolf.

Aiden sighed and carried Jace from Ariel.

“Jace,” Aiden called calmly.

“Yes?” Jace answered, hooking his index finger under the slim hand of Aiden’s tank top.

“Do you want a sister?” Aiden asked seriously.

Jace nodded vigorously, “Yes, are you going to gift me a sister next?

Is Gregory going to buy her from the store too?” He asked enthusiastically.

Ariel burst out laughing, bending over to cover her mouth; she couldn’t have guessed that Jace would give that ridiculous answer, but served Aiden right.

Jace was her Knight in shining armor; she no longer needed to say a word, and her baby boy got her back.

Aiden was helpless, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, “No, Jace, babies are not gotten from a store…like your toys…if you want a sister, you have to let your mom and I sleep alone tonight…and most nights, that way, we can give you lots and lots of sisters,” Aiden patiently explained.

“Really?

Mummy, is that true?

When you sleep together with Daddy you make another baby?” Jace placed his hand on Ariel’s cheek and squished it around.

Ariel glanced at Aiden, subtly shaking her head at him, “You’ll understand when you’re older, honey, and for tonight, you can sleep with us; your father doesn’t mind,” She smirked at him.

Aiden felt punched in the gut, he furrowed his brow at her.

He had almost convinced the little imposter to leave them alone for the night and she went and invited him in again.

He had already imagined what he was going to do to Ariel on their bed tonight, he’d not done it with her there since her return, but it looked like he had to keep it in his pants again, just like last night.

“Thank you, mummy,” He leaned over from Aiden’s arms and kissed Ariel’s cheek.

He looked at his father and gave him a smile that almost looked like a smirk, “Bye, Daddy,” Jace said and bounced off Aiden’s arms, running up the stairs, probably to his toy room.

“Did that kid just smirk at me?” Aiden asked with a frown.

Ariel chuckled, “Looks like it,” She replied.

“He definitely knows what he’s doing, can’t believe he asked to sleep with us again,” He sighed and shifted closer to Ariel.

“But, Moma, you shouldn’t have-” “So you’re tired of your son already?” She raised a brow at him.

Aiden widened his eyes, “What?!

No!

That’s not how it is, Sweetheart.

You know what I mean…I just miss my wife.

Is it wrong to want to spend my time with her…alone?” He put his hand around her waist and drew her closer.

“I can spend my whole day with our son, can’t I at least get the whole night with you?” He whispered, staring at her face.

“We did it four times, Aiden,” Ariel pointed out.

Aiden chuckled, “You know that’s enough, Moma…and I know you want more,” He kissed her cheek.

Ariel smiled, “We’re sleeping with our son, period,” She turned and kissed him, a compensation for the night he couldn’t get with her.

“I’ll take this for now…” He whispered and smiled.

He stood from the sofa, “I’ll get some work done, but if you want us to do some other kind of work, you know where to find me,” he winked at her and walked toward his office.

Ariel blushed, “Jerk,” She mumbled as she stared at Aiden’s broad back.

She knew what he meant; he was indirectly inviting her into his office, and it wasn’t for work but rather for the kind of work people would never think they were doing in there.

She tapped her feet on the floor, holding herself from following him in as he walked through the door.

She had just told him that she wasn’t doing it again for the day; going in there would prove that Aiden was right about her wanting more, and she didn’t want him to be right.

No, she would stay right there.

She picked up her phone from beside her and wanted to keep herself busy when she saw a text Gregory and sent her twenty minutes ago.

“I saw Hugo…” Ariel frowned, but it only took her two seconds to remember who Hugo was.

How could she forget that name?

The main question was, how did Gregory get to know about Hugo?

She immediately called him, “Hello?

Gregory, where are you?” She questioned urgently.

“I’m outside, do you need me to come in?” He asked.

“No, no, I’ll meet you right away,” She said and ended the call.

Ariel immediately stood from the couch and headed right for the exit.

She wanted to know how far Gregory’s knowledge was about Hugo and who told him about the man.

She went outside and found Gregory standing beside one of Aiden’s cars in the carport at the farther end of the large compound.

She went down the stairs and walked toward him.

“I’m sorry if my text startled you, but I just wanted to understand the matter more,” Gregory said as Ariel reached him.

Ariel shook her head and gently leaned against the car opposite Gregory, “It’s okay, Greg; it did startle me, but I’m fine now.

I’m just curious to know how you found out about Hugo,” She said quietly.

Gregory put his hand in his pocket and slid out a couple of pictures, “Is this him?” He gave the pictures to Ariel.

Ariel took them from him and placed one behind the other after staring at it.

She was in disbelief; she was really curious to know how Gregory found out about Hugo and even followed him to his house.

She was about to ask how he knew when she reached the last picture and froze, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

She slowly raised the picture to Gregory and questioned, “This is our number one suspect, I believe?” She stared at his face, unblinking.

The moment Gregory stared at the picture Ariel was showing him, he felt the air leave his lungs, she wasn’t supposed to see that.

“I’ll take that,” He moved to take it from her but she drew her hand away.

“Oh, relax, Greg.

She’s cute, does Eva know you clicked her picture?” She smirked at him.

She already knew from the picture of Eva sitting in Gregory’s passenger seat that she was the one who told him about Hugo.

“No.

But it’s not what you think, I just took the picture for evidence.

Just to document that she was the one who told me about the incident,” He put his hands in his pockets, looking away from Ariel.

Ariel chuckled, “Then, you better keep this documentary safe, we don’t want it getting into the wrong hands, right?” She gave the picture back to Gregory.

Gregory took it and placed it back in his pocket, his face flushed.

“So, tell me, how much did she tell you?” Ariel questioned.

Gregory turned serious immediately, “Everything,” Je replied.

Ariel slowly nodded; she knew it was time to set her plans in motion, she’d let the matter drag on for some time.
