The Billionaire’s Unexpected Proposal (Evelyn and Derek)

Chapter 132

As Rayna prepared lunch for her and Evelyn, she suddenly laughed when she remembered what Ethan had said about being a girl dad, and Evelyn glanced at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Hello? Should Ibe worried? Is everything okay mentally?" Evelyn asked with a teasing smile.

Rayna giggled. "Sure. Ijust remembered something ET said. How many kids would you like to have, Evie?"

Derek and Ishould get married for real, then I'l have one more since we have Sam already. That's two kids. Why? Don't tell me you're already discussing kids with him?" Evelyn said incredulously.

Rayna grinned, "He asked me. We both want three. The discussion made me so hot. Icouldn't help but imagine the act that would lead us there. It's been so long since Ihad sex," Rayna said, and Evelyn giggled, shaking her head. "I can't believe you're thinking of sex with a random stranger. You don't even know his real name," Evelyn said, amused.

"Helo,

Pot! Im' not the one that banged a random stranger on the same day we met and found out his name six years later after

"You're such a bitch, you know that?" She asked as she threw a slice of carrot into her mouth.

Rayna laughed. "Hate

"How many times do need ot keep telling you that Iwasn't ni my

right senses when Ihad sex with Derek?" Evelyn asked, and Rayna rolled her eyes.

"I won't be ni my right senses when Ihave sex with ET either," Rayna said with a grin.

"Go ahead then. Have sex with him and have ten or twenty kids. Who cares?" Evelyn asked, and Rayna winked at her.

"You do. And no, Idon't want more than three. Just three is okay. Three is a nice number. Not too many to drive you crazy," Rayna

Rayna burst out laughing. "That's abitchy thing to say. Istill can't believe those two fools actually tried to blame you for their screw-up the other night. It's hilarious and pathetic at the same time!" "klnow. I'm I'm honestly looking forward to to seeing how this al unfolds," Evelyn said, a playful glint in her eyes.

"Yes. Iwant t t to see exactly what Sandra's next move is. Iwonder what rumors she is going to peddle about me and the troubles she wil cause for me," Evelyn said with a small laugh. Rayna shook her head ni disbelief. "You are beginning to thrive on this drama, aren't you?"

Evelyn smiled mischievously. "It's the least Ican do. Ididn't ask for any of this. But now that they've brought ti ot me. No problem." "Speaking of which, the new house is is ti close to the office?" e office?" Rayna asked curiously.

Rayna nodded approvingly. "That's what

"Speaking of Sam, Ishould check in with Derek. See how they're doing." Evelyn said as she picked up her phone. Before she could dial his line, her phone rang with a call from Liam, and she received the call immediately.

"Hey, Doc!" Evelyn answered with a wide smile, and Rayna raised a brow.

"Hey, Editor-in-chief!" Liam's familiar voice came through, ful of energy, and Evelyn winced, realizing that he didn't know she lost her job.

"Guess what?" He asked before she could make up her mind

whether or not to tell him she was no longer working at Empowered.

"Surprise me," Evelyn said, curious to hear what he had to say.

"I'm ni ni Ludus!" He announced.

"For real? You're kidding, right?" She asked ni disbelief, and he chuckled.

"No. I'm not "

NO,

"What are you doing ni Ludus? When did you come in?" Evelyn asked excitedly.

"I'm here for a medical conference. Id' love to see you and Sam tomorrow fi you're free," he said, and Evelyn's face lit up.

"Are you serious? That's amazing! Ihaven't seen you ni forever. Of

course, we're free. I'l text you my address, and you can come by for a visit."

a few more pleasantries, Evelyn hung up and turned to Rayna, who was watching her curiously.

"It's going smoothly. Were still out and about. Im' taking her to the Hotel so she can see my suite, and then we wil hang around at the playground before Ibring her back. Do you want to talk to her?" "Of course!" Evelyn said brightly.

Asecond later, Sam's cheerful voice came through the phone. "Mommy! Imet Grandparents Stone! They're so fun!"

Evelyn smiled, confused. "Grandparents Stone? What do you mean by that, sweetie?"

"My other grandparents are grandparents Quinn!" Sam clarified, her logic delightfully simple.

Both Evelyn and Derek burst into laughter. "I guess that makes sense!" Evelyn said, still giggling.

As they continued

Evelyn rolled her eyes at the mention of Sandra. "I I wonder what she has to say this time. Im' with Ray, so I'l let you go. Just call me when you're done, okay?"

"Sure. Love you," Der Derek said before hanging up, and he took Sandra's call.

"Helo, pretty!" Derek greeted smoothly, and Samantha scowled, hearing him call someone else that.

Seeing the frown on her face, Derek grinned at her through the rearview mirror and placed a finger on his lips so she wouldn't say anything.

"Don't pretty me. Why haven't heard from you since our last date?" Sandra asked with a pout.

"I'm sorry, Sandra. I've been so busy; You should have called or texted," Derek said apologetically.

Sandra sighed. "I've been missing you. When can we meet?" Sandra's voice was soft and sweet.

"I was actually thinking we could have dinner tomorrow. With my parents," Derek suggested, knowing that his mother wouldn't mind such an impromptu arrangement.

He wanted Sandra and Michael together for what he planned to do next. He wanted ot see how they would escape his trap.

Sandra's voice perked up in surprise. "Your parents? You mean it?"

"Yeah. We're planning to get married, so I think it's time you meet my family. And soon, 'll meet yours too," Derek promised, and he sighed inwardly when he saw the hurt in Samanthan's eyes as though he was betraying her. Sandra couldn't contain her excitement. "That's wonderful! I'd love that," Sandra said, already thinking of what to wear. After a few more excited exchanges, they hung up, leaving Sandra eagerly anticipating their dinner.
