Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- In his head, he was thinking: Like I've got a choice? The second I say no, she's threatening to dump me again! Aaron opened the second invitation-and this one actually surprised him. It was from Sebastian Storm, inviting Clara to perform a duet at a charity thank-you event for the orphanage on Saturday. This one, he needed to hand to Clara and let her decide. He hit the intercom. "Andy, come in here for a sec. Andy showed up quickly. Aaron opened a drawer, pulled out a gift-wrapped jewelry box and the invitation, then handed both to her.

"Deliver this to my wife." Andy nodded and left without a word. Derek, standing nearby, grinned knowingly. "Dude, it's only ten in the morning. You two have only been apart for, what, two hours? Aren't you being a little clingy? Middle-aged ---- men in love are terrifying." Aaron stayed calm. "You got nothing better to do? I've got a case you can follow up on if you're bored." Before he even finished the sentence, Derek was already halfway out the door. Meanwhile, Andy arrived at Clara's office just as she was tidying up some files. She opened the envelope casually and blinked in surprise.

Why was Sebastian inviting her? Then she opened the jewelry box-and her jaw nearly hit the floor. Inside was an entire collection of anklets-platinum, gold, silver, even one with tiny diamonds. Each design was unique, each one delicate and breathtaking. Clara couldn't stop admiring them. She grabbed her phone and texted Aaron: "Mr. Hotshot Lawyer, are you trying to spoil me into bankruptcy?" ---- Most people gifted one anklet. Aaron? He gave them by the dozen. Aaron: "Do you like them?" Clara sent a smiley face.

"Absolutely love them." Aaron: "I'll put one on you tonight." Right now, Clara was still wearing the one Scarlett had given her. Just thinking about the look on Aaron's face the last time he helped her with an anklet made her cheeks instantly flush. She quickly changed the subject: "This invite wasn't urgent. You could've just brought it home tonight. Why bother Andy with a delivery?" Aaron: "Just wanted to remind Mrs. Devereaux that her husband misses her." Clara's heart did a full somersault. She quickly put her phone down.

She couldn't keep texting him or she'd get absolutely nothing done today. Aaron had also just set his phone down. Back in college, he used to laugh at his roommates for ---- reading those cheesy "Ultimate Love Quote" books. Now? He didn't even need a book. He could write his own with all the sweet nothings he wanted to say to Clara. At the end of the day, Clara was tidying up her desk again when she saw Sebastian's invitation sitting there. The fact that it was an orphanage made it hard to turn down. Clara had always loved kids.

She even donated toys, clothes, and food to local orphanages whenever she could. She noticed that Sebastian's business card was attached, so she picked up her phone and called the number. "Hello, Mr. Storm? This is Clara-Aaron's wife." Sebastian sounded genuinely happy to hear from her. "Mrs. Devereaux! I've been waiting for your call." Clara said, "I got your invitation today and just wanted to ask about the details." ---- Sebastian explained, "It's the orphanage up in the north part of the city.

We received a generous donation from the charity foundation last week, so we're hosting a small thank-you event. We're inviting volunteers who've helped out before. There'll be performances and games for the kids-it's just a little celebration. Do you have any children, Mrs. Devereaux? You're welcome to bring them too." Clara thought about it and decided it was a meaningful event-definitely worth going. Maybe she could bring Leo along. "Thank you for the invitation. I'll be there." Sebastian sounded thrilled. "I knew you had a kind heart, Mrs. Devereaux.

I'll add you on WhatsApp so we can coordinate what song we'll perform together."
