Return With the Billionaire Baby Daddy-Chapter 61: What happened

With quick steps and eyes full of anger, Damian walked down the hallway toward his father’s room, ignoring the greetings of the employees passing by him.

Upon reaching the front of the room, he immediately turned the doorknob and pushed it open, entering to find his father seated, his gaze fixed on the documents on the desk.

"You’re back," said Darius.

Damian shrugged off his black jacket and tossed it onto the sofa, then approached his father still in an angry mood.

"Did you enjoy your vacation?" Darius asked.

Damian remained silent, suspecting that his father already knew about his trip to Korea with Valerie.

"You’ve forgotten important schedules, you should have spent time with Karina... But you’ve forgotten all that just to be with that girl," Darius said with a cynical look.

"Her name is Valerie, and she’s still my fiancée!" Damian retorted. "You shouldn’t keep scaring her!"

"I have to because she’s increasingly manipulating you and our family..."

"She’s not doing any of that!"

"She is!" Darius exclaimed, pointing at Damian. "Don’t you remember what she said when you wanted her back? She said no, she refused, then I met her... I persuaded her, I even promised Daniel an inheritance if she agreed to come back to you... But what?"

Darius approached Damian with a sharp gaze. "She refused. She said she’s not willing to accept you again. She’s comfortable with Samuel. It truly makes me feel belittled... she embarrasses you, she embarrasses our family!"

Damian fell silent, imagining Valerie and Samuel.

"Since then, I’ve warned her not to accept you again even if you begged her, by her decision. But what does she do? She still tries to approach you with Daniel as her excuse, but she accepts Samuel. She hurts you... And now...now she wants to come back to you after discarding Samuel even though you already have a much better fiancée than her. She’s truly annoying! She makes things difficult for all of us by constantly changing her mind. She thinks everyone should agree with her decisions, and follow her way of thinking?" Darius shook his head. "It’s not that easy. I can’t even forget how she embarrassed our family on your wedding day, and now she wants to enslave us by continuing to follow her ever-changing decisions. I won’t! And I don’t want you to agree either... Show some self-respect, don’t always make yourself look low in her eyes by constantly chasing after her. She’s nothing, she’s like a parasite!" He pointed at Damian’s chest.

Damian sighed. "She’s like that because I’ve hurt her. What I did to her has made her doubt. And I don’t blame her for it... I understand it, and I accept the difficulties I face because it’s the result of my actions. She’s not at fault at all," he said, recalling moments with Valerie in Korea. "She still loves me very much, she just needs peace and you need to stop threatening her. If you hadn’t interfered in this matter since she returned, maybe the problem wouldn’t be so complicated... She’s scared because of you... She still wants me very much. She realizes she can’t be without me, She wants to come back to me... So please don’t prevent us," he continued, pleading, his eyes conveying suffering.

"I can’t..." Darius walked towards the glass wall.

Damian immediately followed, saying, "Why? Why do you still hate her? Haven’t I said that I’m the one at fault? I’m the one making her struggle to make decisions because I’m constantly making her doubt. I’m the one who made her leave because I betrayed her... What I did to her is outrageous... But now she’s giving me a chance... We are still very worthy of being together, we love each other, we need each other, and even Daniel will be very happy. We spent a few days together, it felt so beautiful... I’m happy, I feel the joy I’ve longed for all this time. A small family with the girl I love..."

"You can find happiness beyond that," Darius replied without turning.

"No!" Damian exclaimed, staring at Darius who continued to arrange the view behind the glass wall. "I will never be happy if not with them. I’ve experienced that before... And I will never let it go again when I can have it... Never. I don’t want difficulties any more!"

"But we will have difficulties if you fight for her!" Darius exclaimed, turning to Damian, his eyes bulging, his face tense. "I’ve told you, Karina’s father will destroy our company!"

"No..." Damian shook his head. "He can’t do that. I’ve found another way to make my separation from Karina look peaceful, so her father won’t be angry."

Darius fell silent.

"I’ve told Karina about this, she already knows that I was in Korea with Valerie. She doesn’t mind at all, she’s willing to cancel this engagement," Damian said confidently.

Darius remained silent, still looking at Damian so flatly as if he were thinking.

"We will end our engagement on the reason that we cannot love each other, so her father won’t be angry and ruin our company... You don’t need to worry!" Damian reassured.

"It’s better if you meet Karina. See what happens. Come to me after you meet her, I’m sure you’ll understand why you can’t end your relationship," Darius said with his flat gaze, then left.

Damian fell silent, furrowing his brow, watching his father walk towards the door. He immediately took his phone from his black pants pocket and then tried to contact Karina.

"No answer," he said anxiously. "Should I meet her at the apartment? What’s happening?"

Suddenly his phone rang with a call from Karina’s father. Damian quickly answered.

"Hello?"

"Finally your number is active," Adam said from the phone, his voice sounding flat.

Damian swallowed. "Um, sorry. I just...."

"I don’t want to hear explanations, I already know everything."

"Um..." Damian suddenly became nervous, worried that Adam already knew about him and Valerie in Korea.

"Come to me now, I’m waiting for you at Santa Maria Hospital," Adam said again, making Damian furrow his brow.

"Why? What happened, why at the hospital?"

"You’ll find out."

"But..."

Suddenly the phone call disconnected, leaving Damian even more confused. He looked at his phone, speculating about what could be happening at the hospital when none of his family members or Karina had been sick before.

"huh!" He clenched his fists. "Why does it have to be full of puzzles? I don’t care about anyone, nothing will stop me from returning to Valerie. If Mr Adam already knows about us, then he has to accept this and act professionally... He can’t control me!"
