Chapter 91
Chapter 91 Chapter Ny One
Sydney’s POV
Mark must have noticed that I had turned my gaze from Grace’s retreating figure and pinned it on
him because he looked up from Aiden and blurted, “What?”
“Are you seriously asking me that?” I scowled at him.
He smiled and asked softly, “Come on, what’s wrong? Did I do something to upset you?” Since I
made my decision to have Aiden, Mark had unfailingly been there for me. Grace and I were
surprised and I kept holding my breath…I kept my fingers crossed, thinking that someday he’d get
tired of either pretending or just get tired of tending to a woman that wasn’t his and leave. But he
stayed. He stayed all the way through.
–
He offered all the help he could; whenever I felt alone or any tinge of pain and I couldn’t reach
Grace, I’d call Mark and he’d immediatelye running. I remember one time – I think it was my
fourth month I had this severe contraction and I was just so scared that perhaps my baby was on
the way when I was not yet due. In panic, I shot several calls to Grace but she didn’t pick up. My
last option was Mark, he picked up on the first ring.
It only took the time for him to drive to my ce to reach me. If he could teleport, I was sure I would
have immediately seen him before me.
It waster I learnt that he was having a live session with a prospective mergerpany when he
answered my call and abruptly left the session.
I never would have believed that Mark could be so supportive or…caring. He no longer made.
inappropriate jokes or made any attempt at an offensive move. He became the perfect gentleman.
Gradually, I no longer resisted his help. We became friends and our tonic and business. partners
rtionship flourished and together, our businesses did well and scaled the sessdders.
We got so close that we talked andughed like lifelong friends. I enjoyed hispany and we both
share and talk about things that we care about.
I rolled my eyes, forcing the smile that wanted to ster itself on my face away as memories of the
times Mark had been there for me in the past months shed behind my eyes.
There were several of those memories, beautiful memories they were, but one particr one
lingered.
Grace had been on a business trip when I went intobor. It was my due month but weeks before
my due date. I hadn’t seen iting. I didn’t hesitate to ce a distressed call to Mark and he
hurriedly rushed over and brought me to the hospital.
Memories of how he had stood by me reyed in my head for the umpteenth time. He held my
hands as I pushed Aiden out. The strength in him seeped into me over and over and I felt.
rejuvenated. The memory was still so vivid and I didn’t think it could ever fade away.
I had since seen Mark in a new light and getting mad at him was difficult but right now? I was raving
mad at him.
“Sydney? What did I do?”
“You did everything!” I blurted, then I grabbed my phone from the hospital’s side table and flung it
his way. “Take a good look at what these rubbish news are saying.”
When I flung the phone at him, I made sure that even if he didn’t catch it, it wouldn’t hit my son in
his arms but he expertly caught the phone before itnded on Aiden. He turned the phone upright in
his hand and looked at the screen.
I could see his eyes move from side to side as he read the infuriating news I had stumbled upon
earlier.
The entertainment channel that posted the news captioned the headline of the content, “The
Chapter 91 Chapter Ny One
CEO of GT Group reconciles with his ex–wife, the ex–wife has given birth to a son for the CEO. The
heir of GT Group is born!”
Attached to the content of the post was a picture of Mark as he helped me into his car and drove.
me to the hospital.
The damned news was all over the ce!
Mark transferred Aiden to one hand and helplessly spread his other hand. “I never said anything to
anyone,” he said defensively.
I sneered at him. “Yeah, right! You didn’t. Then who did? How did they know I’ve given birth to a
boy.”
Mark shrugged, “I don’t know, Sydney,but trust me,I said nothing to anyone.” He stopped and
carefully let Aiden’s weight be on his second hand before he continued. “The entertainment
journalists have a habit of saying nonsense, it has nothing to do with me. Who knows? Perhaps one
if the nurses tipped them. And it’s so unfair that you me me for this. It’s so unfair.”
“I don’t care if you did it or not,” I erupted, still angry. “Such fake news should be taken down the
second it goes online.”
He pressed his l*ps together and nodded. “I agree with you.”
“Then for how long has this fake news been circting everywhere? I have been out of the delivery
room since and such fake news is still being recreated and spread. Don’t tell me that as the CEO of
GT Group, without your connivance, this news could exist for so long?!”
“I admit that I might have selfish motives,” he shamelessly admitted, “In case you casually mention
to the outside world that Aiden is my child, then our remarriage is not impossible. You know that m,
right?” He wiggled his brows and I felt the insane urge to smack him on the forehead and make
those wiggling brows draw down in pain.
When he saw that he couldn’t get a smile orugh out of me, he shrugged and hastily added, “But
since you don’t want to do that, I’ll have the news taken down, I promise.”
“You better!” I told him sternly, my anger slowly dissipating as I rested my back on the headboard of
the bed.
“I will. Don’t be angry. You shouldn’t be mad or yelling at a time like this,” he said softly and I
couldn’t even bring myself to direct a re or snarl at him as I would have liked.
“I’m going to Italy to find Lucas,” I said firmly. When I turned to take in his expression, it was the
same as usual.
Over the time, Mark had managed to stop scowling or scoffing whenever I mentioned Lucas in his
presence. Instead, he always had this face and demeanor of indifference whenever I mentioned
him.
Just like now, he didn’t act or look surprised or pissed, he just kept making cooing noises at Aiden
as he slightly swayed him in his hands.
After a few seconds of staring at his rich dark hair, he looked up and drawled, his brows raised.
“Okay…?”
I took that as my cue to continue to say what I had in mind. “I am going alone, without Aiden,” my
eyes fell on Aiden in his arms and I can already tell that I would miss him so much but atleast, I’d be
rest assured that he was in safe hands.
“While I’m away, I’ll entrust Aiden to you and Grace.” I looked up at him and found his gaze already
on me. “Mainly you though, Grace will be busy dating.”
Mark switched arms to hold Aiden as he bobbed his head. “Wow wow wow, you don’t give me the
title of father, but let me take on the responsibility of a father. That’s too unfair, don’t you think?!”

I chuckled lightly. Then I teased him, “Didn’t you say that you’repletely in love with me?” Mark
had also not hidden the fact that he had fallen in love with me all over again from me. Even though I
told him, my heart belonged to Lucas and we could never work, he said nothing will change for him
and still stayed.
A reminder for me, Mark is a stubborn man. Period. It should always be at the back of my mind.
“Well, I shrugged as I continued to joke, “This is the price you have to pay for loving me. If you are
not willing, then you should just stop loving me
He looked stunned and I reminded myself that the man was a brilliant actor. He closed his eyes and
used one of his hands to clutch his ch*st . “Ahh, Sydney, you never hesitate to hurt me with your
harsh words”
I bit my l*ps to hold back myughter and yed along, “You can easily put an end to the endless
heartaches and stop loving, me
He opened his eyes and yfully red at me. “Not on your life, woman. Then he sighed and said
in a self–mocking tone, “Alright, alright. I promise to look after him perfectly. He shed me a
heartwarming smile, “Once again you’ve won
