Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 27

True to his word, and his arrogance, Dante showed up at my front door at 11 in the morning. Despite my assurance that I could make my way to the chocolate place myself, Dante still showed up and he did not come empty handed.

A large teddy bear the size of Hayley was in his hand along with a pink glittered covered case that looked like a brief case. It had caught me by surprise when I opened the door and saw him standing there with his hands full.

Dante, surprisingly, had not worn a suit this morning. Instead, he wore a pair of dark black jeans, a button front shirt and a pair of leather boots. This was the most casual I have ever see this man dress. His hair was still damp but mostly dry from the slight breeze in the air and a few stray hairs. hung over his forehead.

“Dante, what are you doing here?” I questioned not stepping aside for him to enter..

He flashed me a grin like he was unaware of why I had asked him that question and shrugged.

“I told you that I was picking you up. It’s not a big deal.” He added taking away from my protest to him being here when I clearly said other wise.

I heard Hayley approach me from behind since we were all ready to leave. I glared at him, narrowing my eyes in his direction firmly.

“This is the last time I let you get away with some thing like this. I muttered through angrily.

Stepping aside, I opened the door allowing Hayley to see Dante and all that he had his hands filled with. I didn’t miss the way her eyes lit up brightly when she saw Dante before she even noticed the items in his hand.

“I come bearing gifts.” Dante did a Santa clause voice and, despite my anger, I found myself trying to bite back a grin.

Hayley giggled loudly, jumping a few times in excitement. “Both of those are for me?” She asked hesitantly as she reached her hands out for it.

“Of course.” Dante responded as he passed the teddy bear to her which Hayley needed both her hands to hold.

“Thank you. I love it so much and it’s so soft.” Her voice was muffled against the fluff of the stuffed animal.

“Wait until you see what’s in this.” Dante wiggled his brows at her but she couldn’t see much.

I chuckled lightly before helping her with the bear and she reluctantly let go of it. Dante dropped to one knee on the porch, placing the glittery case on the floor then undoing the clasp at the front centre of the box facing Hayley. It popped open and Dante pulled back the top which
