Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Lotus awoke from her sleep to find a text from Peter saying, “I will be waiting for you before your house to take you to the construction site.”

Lotus’s face lit up with a sweet smile. Her bedroom door slammed open unexpectedly. Two small figures dashed in and jumped into her bed.

“Mommy, I woke up before James today,” Jenny explained. Lotus pecked on Jenny’s face. She then drew James into her lap. However, when she touched James, she noticed that his body was warm.

“James baby, do you have a fever?” she inquired, checking his temperature with her hand. James simply shrugged and sat on her lap.

Peter had been waiting for Lotus for fifteen minutes outside her gate. But she was nowhere to be found. He decided to call her and dialed her phone number. Lotus received the call after a few rings.

“Hello, who are you? Mommy is preoccupied with caring for her brother. He’s running a high fever “said a sweet little voice on the other end of the phone. Peter double-checked the number. He thought he had dialed the incorrect number. However, the number was correct. He hesitated for a moment before entering Lotus’ mansion.

Lotus thought the doctor had arrived when she heard the doorbell ring. As a result, she hurriedly opened the door. But Peter was standing in the doorway.

Lotus only remembered his text this morning after seeing Peter.

“Please come inside,” she politely said as she led him to the living room.

“I am truly sorry, Mr. Robinson; I completely forgot about our meeting,” she apologized.

“It’s all right. Is everything all right? You appear to be tense “Peter was concerned.

Lotus was about to respond when a cute little girl ran up to her. “Mommy… mommy, James is calling for you,” the girl said.

For a brief moment, Peter was taken aback when he heard the little girl address Lotus as “Mommy.” Has she married already? Was he just waiting for her for no apparent reason? Many thoughts raced through his mind. Soon after, Peter returned from his thoughts when he felt a small hand pulling his finger.

“Are you the angry handsome uncle from the Airport?” Jenny inquired.

Peter only recognized her at that point. She was the cute girl he met at the airport a few days ago. Jenny received a nod from Peter. Lotus was perplexed when she heard Jenny’s question. None of them realized that Natasha had just entered the house.

“How could you have left the door open? It is not secure “Without noticing the visitor on the sofa, she began scolding Lotus.

“Sorry for not having noticed. What happened to the pediatrician?” Lotus said to Natasha.

“Naila is here. Let us proceed to James’s room.” Natasha spoke quickly.

Lotus escorted the pediatrician to the second floor, followed by Jenny. Natasha was on her way upstairs as well when Peter called her from behind.

“Is that you, Natasha?” Peter inquired, surprised.

“What are you doing here, Peter?” Natasha inquired.

“I am Lotus’s coworker and neighbor,” Peter stated that he had not found a better solution.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Oh, I’m sorry, I have to go upstairs. I’ll be right back in five minutes “She hurried to the second floor, leaving Peter alone in the living room.

The doctor was examining James on the second floor. Lotus was sitting next to his head. Jenny sat on the other side of the bed, praying for her twin. Natasha walked into the room. She looked at James for a few seconds before approaching Monica, who was standing in a corner of the room.

“Monica, could you please request that the maid serve some coffee to the guest in the living room?”

“Who is the visitor?” Monica inquired. She mistook him for Natasha’s husband.

“I completely forgot to inform you. He is a workmate of mine. Please bring him a cup of tea or coffee “Lotus stated.

Monica nodded and exited the room.

The doctor gave James some medicine after examining him and he fell asleep. She then turned to look at Lotus and Natasha.

“Nothing to be concerned about. This is simply a seasonal fever. This could be due to a sudden change in the environment. I gave him an antihistamine, and he will sleep for a few hours. I’ve also given him some medication, so please make sure he takes it on time. I’m hoping he’ll be fine until tomorrow.” The doctor explained everything in detail.

“Thank you very much, Dr. because you came here “Lotus stated.

“Not a problem. Natasha is a classmate of mine. He is my nephew because he is her godson. Don’t be concerned. If he doesn’t feel better by tomorrow, please contact me at any time. Here is my business card.” saying that the doctor handed her visiting card to Lotus.

“Natasha, I’m going to leave you now. You are free to take your time.” The doctor then left.

Natasha sat next to Lotus and rested her hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t be worried. James will be just fine “Lotus was comforted by her efforts.

“I’m hoping so,” Lotus responded softly.

“By the way, how do you know Peter?” Natasha asked to clear her mind.

“I met him the other day. We are partners in the government’s army building project. He is also my neighbor. But do you know who he is?” Lotus inquired as well.

“He is a cousin of mine. Our mothers were cousins “Natasha stated.

“You must be very close because you are the same age,” Lotus stated the obvious.

“What exactly do you mean by “same age?” Do I resemble an elderly grumpy woman? “Natasha inquired. Lotus burst out laughing when she saw her reaction.

“No, Nat, you don’t appear to be an elderly woman. You are the world’s third most beautiful woman “Jenny, like some wise grandmother, spoke from their side.

Natasha frowned and inquired, “If I’m the third, who is the first and second?”

“Of course, the first one is mommy, and the second one is me,” Jenny responded with a pout. After hearing her response, Natasha and Lotus both burst out laughing.

“James will be woken up by the sound of your laughter if you don’t stop laughing.” Jenny kept them quiet.

“You are correct. Let’s go downstairs to see my cranky cousin “Natasha said as she drew Jenny along with her.

There was no sign of Peter when the Ladies arrived downstairs. Lotus approached Monica as she was coming out of the kitchen and inquired, “Monica, where is Mr. Robinson?”

“He had an urgent call from work, so he hurried out the door. But he did leave you a note.” Monica responded while handing Lotus a note.

Lotus quickly opened the note and read Peter’s legible handwriting. According to the note,

“Take care of your child, and we’ll go to the site another time. Family always comes first.”

Lotus’ heart was melted by Peter’s words. Natasha snatched the note from her grasp just as she was about to call him. Lotus tried to take it back, but Natasha refused to give it to her. She began reading the note aloud.

“It appears that my cousin has a soft spot for you. He genuinely cares about you.” Natasha made a sly remark.

“It’s entirely up to you. We only had two meetings. He does, however, have a fiery fiancee.” Natasha received a response from Lotus.

“You’ve met that brat, haven’t you?” Natasha inquired.

“Yes, she thought Peter and I had a special relationship,” Lotus admitted bluntly.

“I think she’s right this time,” Natasha said as she scrolled through her phone.

“What do you mean by she is right?” Lotus inquired.

“Peter never visits anyone’s home, much less leaves a handwritten note. But the fact that he came to look for you and left a note for you indicates that he has a special feeling for you.” Lotus was informed by Natasha.

“I don’t care what he has in store for me. I don’t want to be a homewrecker “Lotus stated.

“I would advise you to consider him. He is the most attractive man in town. And he doesn’t like Rebecca, so you’ll be a lifesaver for him rather than a homewrecker “Natasha smiled brightly as she spoke.

“Girl, stop daydreaming. You have no idea what he is feeling, and I don’t believe in love. I have a lot of responsibilities to fulfill “Lotus stated.

“You’ll realize I was right today or tomorrow,” Natasha predicted.

“Let’s see,” Lotus said triumphantly, “but if he doesn’t like Rebecca, why is he marrying her?” she inquired, intrigued.

“He has decided not to marry her. He only got engaged to her due to the pressure put on him by his father and stepmother.” Natasha explained.

Lotus nodded softly as she reflected on her father. She and Peter were in the same situation, she reasoned.

Meanwhile in Robinson Group…

Peter arrived at his office after receiving a call from the private detective while Lotus was at her home. Despite the storm in his mind, he tried to appear normal in front of everyone. He walked into his office and saw the detective waiting for him. He sat cross-legged across from him.

“Tell me what you found?” he demanded impatiently, unable to contain his curiosity.

“Lotus Kent is the daughter of a high-ranking defense officer, Steven Kent, and the ex-wife of George Jackson, who is currently married to her step sister Lilly,” the investigator explained.

‘So George was her ex-husband,’ she explained. ‘Was he the father of her child?’ Peter wondered inwardly.

“According to rumors, on her wedding day, June 4th, 2017, she spent the night in Robinson hotel with someone else. As a result, George divorced her the next day. Her father had also disowned her. After a few months, she left the country for Australia. With the money her real mother left for her, she started a business there. Except for her mother’s lawyer, no one knows about it. She has returned to the country with her twin daughters and son after a four-year absence.” Everything he knew about Lotus was revealed by the detective.

Peter sighed, knowing that the children were not George’s.

“Then, who is the father of those babies?” Peter inquired, frowning.

“That is a puzzle. Nobody is aware of it. She had never been in a romantic relationship. Except for one person, she had no contact with anyone here. who paid her frequent visits over four years” He took a breather after saying this.

“Who is that person?” Peter inquired.

“It’s your cousin Natasha Lopez,” the detective replied.

“Do you mean only she knows who her biological father is?”

“Mr. Robinson, yes. After Miss Kent’s divorce, they became friends. As a result, she may be acquainted with the father. She was also her gynecologist.”

“You’re free to leave now. Your payment will be deposited into your bank account.”

“Many thanks, Mr. Robinson.” The private detective then left the office, leaving a perplexed Peter alone.

Kent Manor…..

Lilly was preparing to visit George. She can’t take it any longer. It’s been three days. George never called her again after he left that day. She had been crying for three days. Her father didn’t even look at her. Nobody cared about her, she thought. Miranda entered her room. She was taken aback as she watched her daughter get ready.

“Where are you going?” Miranda inquired.

“I’m going to see my house mother.” Lilly gave a standard response.

“Did George contact you?” Miranda’s eyes sparkled with awe.

“He didn’t call me, Mom. He isn’t picking up on my call either.” Lilly wept as she said, “I can’t wait any longer, Mom. I’m going home; once George sees me, he’ll forgive me.”

A servant approached them while they were conversing. “A courier guy has come to give you something, Miss Lilly,” the servant explained.

Lilly’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

“Perhaps George sent something to me.” Miranda, she said. They both dashed to the main entrance. A courier guy handed her a brown Packet and then walked away without saying anything. The happiness in Lilly’s eyes vanished when she saw the thin packet. Despite her lack of interest in the packet, she opened it. When her gaze was drawn to the papers inside the bag, she stiffened.

“What exactly is it, Lilly? Who was the sender?” Miranda’s question

“Mom, George sent me a divorce letter.” Lilly passed out shortly after saying this.
