Chapter 316

“Yeah, sure”

After that, he hangs up. I breathed out, feeling disappointed that he didn’t offer a solution. At this point, I think either I take Corrine up on her offer, or we just go with Iris, which will be a huge headache.

Shopping with a baby usually is.

Taking the phone with me, I head downstairs. Iris was still asleep, and Corrine and Letty were chatting.

The snacks Teresa had brought were almost finished.

“So, what did he say?” Letty asks after swallowing a cookie.

I answer with a shrug “Nothing much. He just told me to wait as he comes up with something.”

I take my seat and pick up a cookie. Shoving it in my mouth, I chew and almost moan at how delicious it was. Teresa told me that she uses a secret recipe that was passed down from her great–

grandmother. I’m yet to convince her to share the said recipe.

“Damn, Teresa knows how to bring about a food orgasm… This is freaking amazing,” Corrine praised as she took another cookie.

I just smile, knowing that she’s right. Noah can’t get enough of them, and neither can I. Rowan doesn’t really love sweet things, but he tried them once, and he had to admit that they were good. If Teresa ever decided to start a cookie business, she would sell. That’s how good she was.

We continue to chat and fill ourselves with Teresa’s goodies. Thirty minutes later, there was still no word from Rowan.

Exhaling in defeat, I turn to Corrine. “I think I’ll take you up on your offer. It’ll be hectic shopping with Iris and at this point, I don’t think Rowan will get back to me.”

“Sure… I have this black dress that I’m sure would look amazing on you,” she says with a smile.

I was just about to leave to go and change since I was in a pair of sweatpants when I heard the door open. Frowning, I pause, wondering who it was. I’m surprised when Rowan appears in the living room.

“Hello ladies,” he says to my friends before coming to me. He doesn’t even wait for them to great him back.

Taking me in his arms, he kisses me like he’s thirsty and I’m the only drink left.

“What are you doing?” I ask after we break apart. It wasn’t even noon yet.

Megemea chaking out that leaves me mesmerised by it. “Well, you said you wanted to by the words coming out of his checks, “The good thing about being the thing about being the boss is that I can do whatever the fuck including saving to babysit ughter so that my wOH go shopping with her Ex bim te knew how to make me weak with his words How the hell have I never realized that Sowan is a charmer?

“Great”

Both Letty and Corrine stand up and begin leaving. I walk to where Rowan is and give both him and tris a kiss. Before I can leave, he grabs my hand.

He gives me a dashing smile that leaves me mesmerized by it. “Well, you said you wanted to go shopping, so I’m here to babysit while you do your thing.”

“You can’t do that; what about work?” I ask, still stunned by the words coming out of his mouth.

Rowan chuckles, “The good thing about being the boss is that I can do whatever the fuck I want, including leaving to babysit my daughter so that my woman can go shopping with her friends.”

Damn him. He knew how to make me weak with his words. How the hell have I never realized that Rowan is a charmer? This is the Rowan I fell in love with. Not the cold, cruel man that I got married to.

“Now go and change so you’re not late,” he uttered, while his finger tapped my ass lightly.

Swallowing, I turn around and leave the room, all the while feeling his eyes on me. It made me feel powerful. I was on top of the word.

It doesn’t take me long to finish dressing up. Just like Corrine, I opted for a t–shirt and pair of jeans, but instead of wedges, I wore flats. There was no way I was going shopping wearing wedges or heels. My feet would be killing me after.

I take my purse and rush downstairs. Rowan was seated on one of the chairs, feeding Iris who was now awake. Corrine and Letty were studying him, seeming mesmerized by him.

“I’m ready,” I announce, catching their attention.

“Great”

Both Letty and Corrine stand up and begin leaving. I walk to where Rowan is and give both him and Iris a kiss. Before I can leave, he grabs my hand.
