Mommy for Billionaire's Baby
Chapter 42 b

"Yeah. How is that possible?" Olivia is also puzzled, actually. Since Marta's engagement to Daniel was officially announced, the title 'mom' disappeared from Olivia's mouth. But Marta also didn't want to be called Aunt by Olivia. It would be the weirdest moment in her life even though in terms of family lineage, that title was fitting for Marta. Marta was going to marry Robert's younger brother, where Robert now had the status of Olivia's stepfather. Confusing, right?

So, instead of being confused, Marta took a middle ground. After all, no one protested her suggestion. It would also be really chaotic if she heard Thomas calling her Aunt. Oh God! Is there anything worse than just a title? "Nathan's my college friend," Marta explains.

"The world is so small," Robert jokes at last. "Come on, let the guests in first, and then we can talk." He welcomes Nathan and Tasya, shaking hands with both of them in a polite manner. He also acknowledges the child he remembers causing his wife some annoyance.

"I didn't expect to meet you here," Nathan laughs. Then he accepts Thomas's handshake. In his mind, he no longer has any desire to tease. Maybe back then, it was just curiosity for Olivia. But now, Tasya's presence is enough for him. "With who, Mr. Nathan?" Thomas asks with a small laugh.

"Yeah, seriously. I'm curious, who did you bring, Nathan?" Marta looks back and forth between Tasya and Nathan.

"Who else? My kid and my future wife. It's not like you're the only one who can show off their future husband on social media," Nathan says proudly. "Besides, I don't want to lose to Mr. Thomas and Mr. Robert. You guys are already married, and I'm not."

"Wow!!!" Olivia speaks up this time. It's a bit loud and makes her the center of attention. "Well, thank goodness if you want to get married, but I do feel a little sorry for Mr. Nathan's future wife." Tasya furrows her brow.

"What's your name?" Olivia asks after placing her snack plate down. She then extends her hand to shake Tasya's. Just an introduction, no ulterior motives, just wanting to talk about what's on her mind. "Tasya," Tasya says with a faint smile. "You must be Olivia, right?"

"You know me?"

"I do, actually. I used to be Nathan's unattainable target."

"Tasya!" Nathan is astonished by what Tasya just said.

"So, you know that Mr. Nathan is a playboy?" Olivia asks without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Marta chimes in. "Are you sure, Tasya? You might be played by Nathan. But if Nathan is talking about marriage, he must be serious. As far as I know, Nathan has never talked about marriage plans before." "Is that true, Marta?" Olivia blinks in disbelief.

Marta immediately nodded confidently. "If Nathan misbehaves, you tell us. Let us teach Nathan a lesson!"

"Mr. Nathan isn't just a playboy, though. He's a Raptor. A fierce predator," Tasya says calmly. Her words earn laughter from everyone.

"Yeah, that's right," Naina chimes in casually. "Daddy is a Raptor. Tasya is Mama Raptor."

Is Nathan offended? Not at all. Instead, he intentionally displays affection in front of these people he just met. Somehow, in this room he's visiting for the first time, amidst the gazes of many, some of whom he recognizes, he replaces his own place.

Friendship.

Naina feels a bit awkward sitting alone with Olivia. Meanwhile, the pregnant woman beside her seems to really enjoy her mother's homemade fruit salad.

"Don't you want some salad? Mami Seira made it, you know."

"I do," Naina says quietly.

"Eat, come on. It's not good when it's not too cold." Olivia feeds her a big spoonful of her salad. "It's delicious, you know." "Olivia, I want to talk."

"You've been saying that for a while now. What do you want to talk about?" Olivia can't hold back anymore. She hasn't misbehaved since earlier. She's been mostly glancing at her mother and cuddling up to Tasya, whom she only recently got to know. It seems their relationship is quite close and friendly.

"I want to apologize for making you angry and upset with me before," Naina says, lowering her head and twisting the hem of her shirt. She doesn't dare to look at Olivia for too long. Not because she's scared, but because she regrets fighting over someone who shouldn't have been fought over.

"Oh, is that all?"

Without hesitation, Naina nods.

"Okay. I forgive you."

"Really?" Naina immediately lifts her face, staring at Olivia, who's busy stirring her salad with a look of disbelief. Could it be that easy? Is it true?

"Yeah, and besides, it wouldn't be funny if I stayed mad at you for too long. I'd feel embarrassed in front of the little one in my belly, you know."

Naina blinks, confused. "How can there be a little one in your belly, Olivia?"

Olivia ends up looking dumbfounded. Right, she can't really explain the process to this curious child, can she? "Well... it's just how it is." "Can I touch it?"

"You can, but be gentle. Little ones like gentle touches."

Naina nods in understanding and approaches with enthusiasm. Slowly, she places her fingers on Olivia's belly. Wrapped in a comfortable lilac cotton blouse, Olivia guides her to touch it, giving her a gentle stroke on her now bulging belly. "Wow, I didn't know there could be a little one in the belly."

"If Tasya and Daddy get married later, they can have a little one. Tell your Daddy Raptor that, ask him to make a little one."

"Okay, I'll tell him later." Naina laughs. "But can the little one talk yet?"

"It can. It just can't respond yet because it's still in the belly."

"Oh, I see." Laughter rings out even more joyfully. It makes Olivia unconsciously lift the corners of her lips and smile broadly.

"Are you really Daddy Nathan's child?" Olivia asks for some reason, even though it's not important. But she needs to satisfy her curiosity, right?

"No, my real parents are already gone, Olivia. My Grandma and Daddy said they had an accident when I was four. Daddy is... my Papa's younger brother." Olivia is taken aback.

"I'm glad you're not mad at me anymore." Naina stops her strokes. "Can I come play again and see you? Not with Aunt Seira, just to touch the little one."

Olivia's inherently fragile heart nods slowly. "Sure. Ask Tasya to bring you if you want to play. Don't come alone. It's dangerous." Naina nods happily.

"And you can call my mom 'Mami' if you want."

Naina stared at Olivia in disbelief.

"I'm serious. Besides, you're going to have a Mom soon, right? Mom Raptor. Just think of Mami Seira as another Mom."

"Is that true, Olivia?"

"It's true."

"You're not lying, are you?"

"No."

"Thank you!" Naina immediately hugged Olivia.

Well, just something like this was already making the corners of Olivia's eyes wet. It turned out this girl just wanted to have a tiny bit of love from a mother. Although her way might be selfish, at least Olivia began to understand that a child was still a child. They needed love, not just to be born into the world but to be ignored. In this case, who would want to be Naina? No one would.

Who would want to be abandoned by their parents when they were still little? Naina certainly wouldn't.

And Olivia neither.

Her prayer for Naina was that Tasya was the right person to be by Naina and Nathan's side as well.
