Chapter 16 - Whisked Away
Event Organisers
And now, for our final item auctioned this evening...
Event Organisers
A chance to dine with Miss Kingsley at whatever venue you might want. Free of charge!
Event Organisers
Bids starting at 2000!
The price just kept on going up until Alex lifted his hand.
The whole room went silent as the organiser grinned.
Event Organisers
100,000 going once... going twice...
The whole room gasped as Alex turned around, more annoyed than usual.
Xavier Freshford
It's been a while, Alex.
Xavier Freshford
Last time we saw each other was at graduation!
Xavier Freshford
You don't mind if I bid too? I'm just so passionate about charity.
Alex Westwood
What a coincidence, so am I.
Alex Westwood
I raise to 750,000
Xavier Freshford
1 million.
Alex Westwood
1.5 million.
Xavier Freshford
3 million.
We're talking millions here.
Everyone gasped and looked right at Xavier, who sighed.
Xavier Freshford
Fine. I'll admit defeat.
Xavier Freshford
Congratulations on your date.
Alex Westwood
Thank you. I hope that I get to see Mr Freshford at another charity event very soon.
And just like that, the blond-haired man left.
I walked down from the stage while the announcer smiled.
Event Organisers
A date with Miss Kingsley has been sold for 10 million! Thank you, Mr Westwood, for your generousity.
I rushed towards him, worried.
Lydia Kingsley
10 million isn't a small amount of money.
Alex Westwood
It is for me. Besides, even if it wasn't, I'd still do it again.
Alex Westwood
After all, no one can put a price tag on time spent with you.
Alex Westwood
It's priceless.
I blushed, looking right down to the ground.
Lydia Kingsley
You've such a glib tongue...
Cade Kingsley
Hey, old man! Unhand my Mummy immediately.
Francis Wallace
Yes, Master?
Alex Westwood
Bring the child back to my residence. Make sure that he is put to bed early tonight.
He then pulled me into his arms, hugging me tightly.
Alex Westwood
I have a dinner to attend.
Lydia Kingsley
Wait, Master Westwood-
He whisked me away and Francis picked up a feral Cade before he ran after me.
Cade Kingsley
No! Don't you dare bully my Mummy, you old fart!
Eventually, Alex escorted me into a black SUV and it drove on.
We sat in the car in silence, but his hand remained around mine.
He lifted up my hand and kissed it, making me blush.
Alex Westwood
Why did you leave the morning after? Why did you not wake me up? Why didn't you come looking for me after you found out that you were pregnant?
Lydia Kingsley
I-I... I did look for you after Cade was born. I wanted to give him a chance to know his father but I couldn't find you anywhere.
Lydia Kingsley
Now I know why... because you're the CEO of Westwood Group.
I then turned towards him, determined.
Lydia Kingsley
I won't give Cade up to you. He's my son who I've raised up myself.
Alex Westwood
I'd never dream of separating you and Cade...
Alex Westwood
You love him so much, it would break my heart to see you upset over him.
He smiled and picked up my hand like a gentleman before biting down on my index finger, making me shiver.
Alex Westwood
Your fingers still are sensitive...
Alex Westwood
It's time that I get my money's worth.
Lydia Kingsley
What do you mean?
Alex Westwood
Aren't I being obvious?
Alex Westwood
What I want to eat up tonight is you.
When his tongue slid between two of my fingers, I trembled and suddenly was grateful for the screen between the driver and the back seat.
