CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 81 His nagging wife

LEO’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.

Yawning as he got down from the car, a small grin appeared on his face. He had a good time at Darby’s. After dinner Sinclair seem to have a lot of energy and he wouldn’t let Leo go until he fell asleep. It enabled him enough time to talk more with Darby and get enough insight about her family. Turns out they have been bothering her for a while before she lost her cool. He would have done worse if someone had done that to him too. Even though he had heard few things about Abigail, he never did get to know her on a personal level. He had totally forgotten that he has a wife at home who would be worried about his whereabout.

Chloe had a fierce look on her face with her legs crossed on the couch, she had prepared dinner in the hope of sharing a moment with him to ease her guilt, instead he had put her on hold without picking her call. She was angry and couldn’t hold herself back from lashing out which was why she had chosen to wait up for him in the living room.

“Hey, baby.” Leo sniffed as he walked in, making his way towards her and he bent down to kiss her but she dodged him. “What’s wrong?” He asked.

“What does your time say, Leo?” She inquired with a frown on her face.

Leo yawned again, “I am sorry I didn’t call to tell you to not wait up for me. It totally skipped my mind.”

She gasped in extreme shock. “Are you listening to yourself? You forgot you have a wife at home to tell your whereabouts too?”

“What do you expect of me? I have gotten used to your absence for the past few weeks now. I am only trying to adjust to your return.”

“What are you even saying?’

He rubbed at his forehead exhaling. “I have had a long day today, Chloe. I am really not interested in going back and forth with you.”

“What?” She bellowed standing up. “You don’t want to go back and forth with me? After disrespecting me?”

Staring blankly at her, Leo scoffed. “Disrespect you? How did we move from that to this, Chloe? I just explained to you that I have had a long day and you are accusing me of disrespecting you? I didn’t even say anything as regards to that.” He looked baffled at the end of his sentence.

Tears rushed to Chloe’s eyes and she couldn’t stop them from rolling down her face. “I’m so sorry for being a bother. After all that is what I am to you.” With that she turned her back and ran upstairs.

Frustration tugged at Leo’s heart, he almost didn’t know what to do, but running after her isn’t an option, he has nothing to say to her just yet. Throwing himself into the couch, he brought out his phone and dialed his friend.

‘What’s up with you?’ Aaron bellowed drunkenly.

‘I need to escape from this planet. Where do you think would be fair to go?’ He asked.

He hummed in response for a second. ‘I heard the moon is a livable place. How about I ask Elon musk for help?’

‘Idiot. Elon musk is off to Mars not the moon.’ Leo laughed, it’s hopeless trying to reason with someone like Aaron.

‘Do you need me to pick you up?’

‘Can you do that for me?’

‘I love you, baby. I would do anything for you.’ Aaron cooed.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

‘Do you always have to show your stupidity off?’

‘As long it has to do with you, then I am good to go.’

‘Just come pick me up, please.’

‘I’m on my way as it is, driving to you.’

‘Thanks man.’

Aaron kept to his promise and got to Leo’s house in less than twenty minutes. Leo got rid of his tie and tiptoed out of the house. His friend was laughing his head off when he got in.

“Don’t tell me you ran out of the house without changing.”

Leo kissed his teeth, “I just couldn’t keep up, Chloe didn’t let me get a breather before she started nagging me. I have had a long day.”

“I saw your text about Darby’s arrest. I thought you would let me in on it later on.” Aaron coughed as he made a sharp turn.

“Are you drunk?”

He shrugged nonchalantly, “I had a drink or two. You have a problem with that?”

“How the fuck did I allow you come pick me up in this state?”

“You asked that I come get you and I did. What’s with the attitude?”

“Get serious and stop the car this minute.” Leo bellowed.

Aaron pouted as he stopped the car. “I can’t believe I am letting you do this.”

“Oh, please. I’m just trying to clear my head, not get stuck in the hospital.” He mused igniting the car.

They both stayed quiet for sometime just watching the road. Leo decided to take a long drive for his mind to get cleared. Next to him Aaron had started dozing off. It made him feel glad to have taken the wheels in his place. His mind raced back to his argument with Chloe. She has been acting really different since she returned from Pennsylvania. She can be troublesome, but not so edgy. She wouldn’t even get up from the bed to bid him goodbye when he leaves for work, not like it bothers him. He is fine with not bothering her for something like that.

Exhaling in exhaustion as he drove towards the beach while putting the car windows down. The fresh breeze that blew at his face made him extremely light. Biting on his lips, he switched off the car light. Maybe he shouldn’t have responded on a high tone with Chloe but it would have caused another trouble if he had chosen to stay quiet. Leo has learnt over time that situations like that with Chloe would only be a reason for her to hold him to ransom. Whatever he tries to do will only get him into her bad book. The best thing is to leave the premises until everyone has calmed down.

Leo stared at his phone intensely, debating within himself whether to call her or not. He thought against it, sometimes being selfish doesn’t hurt. It just means that he is looking after himself too. Leaning into the car seat, he didn’t bother to get down and only just watched the calm water.

Aaron coughed out from his sleep, after trying to adjust his eyes to the dark night for a few seconds. He smacked his lips. “Are you planning suicide?” He asked out of nowhere.

Unflinching, Leo flicked his tongue. “I was thinking of the best way to murder you and not have to worry about your body being found. The ocean just feels perfect.”

He sat up hurriedly, “Something told me you would bring me nothing but trouble. I was right after all. Remind me to never come running to you ever again.”

“Why would I stress myself over that when we can just end it now.” He wiggled his brows playfully.

Sneering at him, Aaron tried to hide his laughter as he turned his face to the window. “How do you feel now?”

Leo hummed still staring out the window. “Empty. I can’t exactly explain what my emotions entail. I just hope I will be able to sort this eventually.”

“There is really no need for you to rush through the feelings man. Just take it one step at a time. You are new to this, you have much time to learn. This journey will be for a lifetime.”

Not saying anything, Leo felt his heart thump at Aaron’s words. Even though he knows the words are true but he has speculations on if truly he wants forever with Chloe.
