The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

A week later..

A loud blaring trumpet disrupted the silent living room and at the same time causing a crease line on the forehead of the father and son who were having a silent breakfast..

Vanessa hurried in with a big bouquet of red roses, she was closely followed by some men playing the trumpets.. “Happy birthday Kyle” Her soft voice played in the living room..

She waved her hand and the tunes died down..

Ray’s nostrils flared up and down in anger, today was his daddy’s birthday and he wasn’t even aware of it because his dad never celebrated it..

Kyle had an indifferent look on his face, he simply nodded to her and returned back to his meal..

Vanessa was loss for words, she simply brushed his cold attitude off..

“You can come in guys”

Kyle raised his head once more, when he heard her speak.. and immediately ten maids all came in with gift boxes..

“I got all these for you.. they are all limited collections.. I hope you like them”

Kyle hummed in response, he got up from his seat “I’ll leave first”

Vanessa’s lips parted in shock, “You can’t just leave Kyle.. I’ve been looking forward to this day.. I know you don’t celebrate your birthday but today can be different.. it can also help to promote your ongoing project”

Kyle picked his phone and planted a kiss on Ray’s head.. “Be a good kid”

Vanessa felt her soul leaving her body as Kyle left the dining room, she had spent a lot to get Kyle these gifts and he didn’t even take a peek at them..

She heard a small chuckle coming from the table and her anger only multiplied..

“Since you’re my daddy’s number one fan.. you should know that he doesn’t like celebrating his birthday.. but what if I tell him to throw a grand party?”

Vanessa dropped the bouquet to the ground and walked towards the little kid who was openly challenging her..

“is that a challenge little one?” She scornfully asked raising a brow..

Ray remained unmoved from his position, he only smiled..”Just watch and learn”

Kyle signalled his driver to stop when he saw Ray running towards the moving car..

He whined down the glass “Is something wrong?”

Ray shook his head and pouted his lips “I’m sad that you don’t celebrate your birthdays because of me.. I know I’m a really bad kid and I promise to change if you celebrate it this year.. please” He blinked severally..

“Is that a promise?”

“it’s a pinky promise” Ray corrected only to see the confused look on his dad’s face..

“You don’t know what a pinky promise is? even Arya knows that” Ray complained with a pout..

“Consider it done” Kyle declared and rolled up the glass..

He looked out through the tinted glass “Find out who this Arya is, Ray has been comparing her to me these days”

“Yes boss”

Cole’s smile brightened when he saw the lady on dark sunglasses walking towards him, she was putting on a blue armless mini gown that stopped on her thighs..

Her black heels made harsh clicks as she came nearer..

Cole flashed her a smile, he was glad that she came to meet him today after days of persuasion..

“I’m glad you came”

Vivian pulled off her sunglasses and sent a slap to Cole’s face..

“You had only one task to do and yet you couldn’t fulfill it!”

Cole held her shoulders to calm her down “I can explain all these please let’s sit and talk”

Vivian shrugged his hands off her shoulder “Don’t try to act so coy! Your only task was to get the ten million dollars from Arya.. instead you were acting so lovingly towards her like a doting boyfriend!”

“What was I supposed to do huh?! I’m waiting for the right time to ask her” Cole fired back at Vivian..

Cole sighed and guided Vivian to sit on a chair in the open air Cafe..

“Please think with a cool head, I will set everything right and then we can live happily”…

Later that night at a glamorous hall…

A black limo pulled up to the front of the grand hall, the driver got out and opened the back door.

A tall, dark-haired man emerged, dressed in a sleek, black tuxedo. Beside him was a stunning woman, dressed in a flowing red gown that shimmered in the light.

Vanessa took his arm, and they made their way up the steps, pausing to greet the photographer who were taking their pictures only for Ray to come in between them.

He took his dad’s hand and slowly led him into the hall leaving Vanessa totally embarrassed..

As they entered the hall, heads turned to admire the father and son who were no doubt looking incredibly handsome tonight..

It was a night fit for a king or at least, a very wealthy person.

The grand hall was transformed into a wonderland of glitz and glamour, with gilded chandeliers dripping with crystals, and extravagant floral arrangements adorning every table.

The walls were draped in gold and silver fabrics, and the floor was covered in plush carpets.

The tables were set with the finest china and crystal, and each place setting had its own miniature bouquet of roses.

The guests were all dressed to the nines, with jewels and furs on display. It was a night that would be remembered for years to come..

Ray spotted Vanessa heading their way, he stuck his tongue out at her which only annoyed her the more.

Before she could get to Kyle the media and some of his business partners surrounded him..

A slow tune started playing in the background as the guests came in.. no one had expected that a day like this would come and to think that Mr Anderson was able to organize all these in hours was really a shocker..

Cole stepped into the hall with Arya who was putting on a royal blue gown with a side slit.. she only needed a little or no makeup to look really pretty..

Cole’s hand rested on her waist as he guided her movement around the hall..

“Is this the surprise you were talking about? I thought it was a private place for the both of us” She said with a pout..

“once we are done here.. I’ll do whatever you say” he whispered into her ears sending jolts into her body…

Ray who was at the other end of the room stared down at his shoe lace that was loosed, he tugged Vanessa’s dress wriggling his foot to her..

“You can still get on my good books if you help me with this”

Vanessa scoffed and walked away from him, the last person he could meet was his dad..

Kyle himself doesn’t know how to tie his own shoe laces properly, only his personal servant and Ray knows about that..

Before he could move further into the room, a lady crotched down in front of him and started tying his loosed shoe lace..

“You shouldn’t leave your shoe laces untied, you would end up hurting yourself”

Ray’s small ears perk up, he recognized that voice , he stared down at her and at the same time the lady raised her head..

“Ray!”

“Arya!”

A look of both shock and surprise crossed their faces..

“You’re here! did you run away again?” Arya questioned..

Vanessa frowned at the sight, she couldn’t believe that there was a person who could put up with the little thorn in her flesh.. She had her whole attention fixed on Kyle this whole time but the latter hardly spared her a look..

But this time she noticed his gaze was directed to one person! and it was Ray and the strange lady, this could turn out bad for her.. she panicked slightly..

He took a step forward but …

“Ladies and gentlemen let’s welcome Mr Kyle Anderson the celebrant of these glamorous occasion to the podium!” The MC announced..

Kyle changed his direction and began walking to the podium..

Meanwhile.. Arya froze when she heard the name the MC just called out..

It turned out Cole lied to her, but why would he do that?..

Kyle took the microphone from the MC and stared down at the guests waiting for him to speak..

“This day wouldn’t have been possible without a special someone who means the world to me..

Vanessa smiled hard, pushing the loosed strands of hair behind her ears.. he finally acknowledged her after acting like he didn’t care..

“And that special soul is none other than my son Raymond Anderson!” Kyle declared…

Ray giggled and left Arya’s side, he made his way to his dad on the podium..

Kyle lifted Ray into his arms and planted a kiss on his cheek..

“He has been a good boy lately.. and that’s why I want him to make a wish and I’ll make sure to fulfill”

“it that’s if it’s possible, kids say the craziest things” he added which made the guests laugh out loud..

Arya couldn’t help but notice the undeniably similar features both father and son shared.. she smiled unconsciously..

Cole cleared his throat to gain back her attention..”What’s on your mind?”

Arya shook her head and collected a glass of red wine from the waiter passing by..

Ray’s lips formed a thin line, he stared at his dad who nodded his head in approval..

“I wish to have a new mummy”

His tiny voice echoed in the hall, Kyle closed his eyes briefly..Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a loud gasp in the hall as everyone murmured among themselves..

Kyle nodded in approval “you want a new mum? then you’ll get a new mum.. why don’t you go around the hall and pick whoever you want to be your new mum”

Ray’s eyes widened in surprise, he wasn’t really expecting that response.. he got down from his father’s arm and sprinted around the room..

The single ladies present did their best to get Ray’s attention but they were ignored..

Kyle on the other hand wasn’t at all worried because he knew exactly who Ray would choose since he only knew and recognize Vanessa..

But things got messy when he stopped in front of a different lady other than Vanessa.

“I like you a lot so you have to come home with me and be my new mummy Arya” Arya’s heart warmed as she stared at the cute little boy in front of her..

“Cutie.. Why don’t you pick again?… I’m about to get married”

Kyle came down from the podium he recognized the lady to be the one talking to Ray a while ago.

“My son chose you and that’s final! become his mum!”

A loud authoritave voice broke into the room..

Now what???…

Not him!

Mr Kyle Anderson! the man who doesn’t take no for an answer..
