Return With the Billionaire Baby Daddy-Chapter 85: I know you always want me

"You have a new favorite now," Damian muttered as he walked towards the main door.

Valerie let out a heavy sigh, following Damian with Hannah behind her.

"I met him because I was worried about him... I bought pain relievers to make him feel better. It’s also because of you," she said.

Damian fell silent, not wanting to start an argument even though he wanted to say that his time with Clara was also because of her condition, similar to Tristan’s current condition.

He headed Daniel into the living room, then took off his shoes and jacket.

"Hmm, you’re sweating, are you too heat, Honey?" He tousled Daniel’s slightly damp hair.

"I’m hot, I’m thirsty," Daniel said in his cute voice.

"I’ll get you something to drink," Valerie said, heading to the kitchen, but Daniel immediately ran to her and hugged her leg.

"I want to breastfeed!" Daniel exclaimed.

Valerie bent down, looking at Daniel who had a sad expression on his face.

"Mama ... I want to breastfeed!"

"Okay, let’s go to the bedroom now," Valerie said, picking up Daniel.

"Just here ... I don’t want to go to the bedroom!" Daniel exclaimed, tapping Valerie’s chest.

Valerie sighed, slightly annoyed that she had to breastfeed Daniel in front of Damian. It made her feel awkward again because they weren’t as intimate as before.

"Mama!" Daniel whined again.

"Okay okay, you can breastfeed..." Valerie immediately took Daniel to sit on the sofa, then unbuttoned her shirt and breastfed him.

Damian remained silent, unable to take his eyes off Daniel who was so enthusiastic about nursing as if it were delicious and fresh.

Valerie noticed his gaze, immediately grabbed Daniel’s jacket lying next to her, and covered her chest.

"Your eyes are wild!" she exclaimed, turning her face away from Damian.

Damian smiled thinly. "I didn’t see your ... Boobs ... I saw my son," he said.

Valerie chose to stay silent.

"He looks so big and like he’s not fit for breastfeeding anymore ... Don’t you want to start weaning him off breast milk?" Damian asked.

"Not yet," Valerie replied shortly.

"Oh..." Damian nodded. "But it looks strange... Maybe you could replace it with another milk... I can buy the best milk for him to improve his brain development... For..."

"Breast milk is better than anything," Valerie cut him off before he could finish his sentence. "Don’t talk too much about him, it’s my duty as a mother..."

"Okay..." Damian sighed, turning his gaze away but occasionally glancing back at Valerie as if unable to stop being interested in her.

Valerie leaned her head against the sofa, occasionally glancing at Daniel who continued to suckle while holding his tiny foot. She glanced at Damian again, but their eyes accidentally met.

"Where’s Jerry?" she asked.

"Happy birthday," Damian said, simultaneously with Valerie’s question.

Valerie swallowed, feeling awkwardness rise again, and turned her gaze away.

"I thought you forgot about it," she said.

"I always remember. I wanted to buy you a gift yesterday, but things got messy," Damian explained anxiously. "But today..."

"I don’t want to talk about it..." Valerie stopped Damian. "I don’t want my emotions to flare up and then we’ll argue in front of Daniel... It could affect him psychologically."

"Okay..." Damian nodded.

"Where’s Jerry?"

"He went to Las Vegas..."

"He went there without taking Gea?" Valerie asked, somewhat surprised, turning to Damian.

"He went there to do something," Damian explained, avoiding mentioning that Jerry went to meet Clara. Perhaps he was avoiding an argument.

"You shouldn’t ask him to do tasks that would keep him away from Gea... Gea is pregnant... Gea will always want him by her side!" Valerie exclaimed with a hint of frustration in her gaze. "How could you do that? You seem so harsh, you don’t understand what a woman needs!"

"Does that mean you needed me when you were pregnant with Daniel?" Damian asked with a sad look, while Valerie immediately turned her face away. "You wanted me by your side like you understand what Gea wants now. But unfortunately, your selfishness and trauma make you prefer to distance yourself from me rather than seek attention from me... Even though it’s all because of Daniel’s influence inside your womb... Isn’t that true?"

Valerie just remained silent, seemingly unable to respond.

"Maybe you could be selfish and hide what you want before, but not now," Damian continued before standing up. "I tried to stay silent and not talk about this, but I guess it’s difficult," he said as he walked towards the living room door.

Valerie just stayed silent.

Damian turned back to look at her. "One thing you need to remember is no matter which man gets close to you, and no matter how much you avoid me, you’ll still end up with me. That’s something you can’t avoid," he said, then walked out onto the terrace without waiting for Valerie’s response.

Valerie fell silent, biting her lower lip, feeling strange about herself, not being angry with Damian’s recent statement.

’So, he still wants me and still wants to marry me? Should I refuse? And why should I refuse? Why does this hatred fade away so easily... But if I accept him right away, he’ll think I love him too much and he’ll continue to hurt me repeatedly because he’ll think he’ll always get forgiveness from me... No...’ she shook her head. ’It’s not that easy!’

...

With slow steps, because his whole body felt sore, Tristan walked towards the terrace and glanced at Valerie’s house until his eyes found Damian who was on the phone.

’He’s here, he still really wants Valerie... That means the girl in the photo with him is just a stranger or a friend or a trap. Karina should stop wanting him... He will keep ignoring her,’ he thought with annoyance, immediately taking out his phone from his dusty gray pants pocket and taking a picture of Damian.

He sent the photo to Karina, and instantly received a call from her.

"Karina?"

"So, he’s there now?" Karina asked from the phone, her voice sounding anxious.

"Yes," Tristan answered, still staring at Damian from a distance. "He’s here even last night he was here too. He argued with Valerie, then hit me... But it seems they’re not arguing anymore because now he’s here... And his friend who will always look after Valerie is not here, which means he’ll be here continuously and you’ll be forgotten," he explained cynically.

"He can’t do that!" Karina replied angrily, and the phone call was cut off.

Tristan frowned and looked at his phone with annoyance. ’She didn’t even ask if I’m okay after Damian hit me? She wants to make me her slave... She doesn’t know I have big plans for her!’ he thought angrily.

...

Damian reentered the room and saw that Daniel had fallen asleep and finished breastfeeding.

"He’s asleep," he said.

"He always sleeps after going to daycare," Valerie replied, carrying Daniel to the bedroom.

Damian immediately followed, but his movement stopped because his phone in his black pants pocket rang.

"Anna?"

"Sir, Karina fainted... We might need to take her to the hospital!" Anna exclaimed from the phone, her voice sounding panicked. Hmm, maybe this is just Karina’s trick because she doesn’t like Damian being with Valerie!

"Just call an ambulance, I’ll follow you to the hospital later," Damian replied, quickly ending the call.

Valerie came out of the room and saw Damian looking worried. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Um... Don’t go anywhere before I come back... and don’t accept any random guests, or just contact me if there’s anyone suspicious around the house," Damian said hastily. "But if I don’t return soon, I might ask one of the security guards to come here," he continued, then approached Valerie and kissed her forehead.

Valerie froze, not understanding why Damian was rushing to leave, then kissing her as if forgetting that she was still upset with him
