My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1491

“Bonnie, check this out! Yesterday, you posted on your social media account saying you had your eye on this necklace, and I immediately asked my friend to procure it for you.” Leslie presented the gift and showed it to her.

Bonnie’s eyes lit up with evident delight, but she couldn’t accept the necklace without feeling awkward with Queenie around. So, she scoffed haughtily instead, “Did I ask you to buy it, smarty–pants?”

Queenie, standing at the side, watched their interactions in amusement. Indeed, Leslie deserved such treatment from Bonnie and should stew in his own juice.

Thus, with that thought in mind, she returned to her room, lay on her bed, took her phone, and sent a message to Nigel.

Young Master Nigel, I want to clarify whether you would be free tonight.‘

‘Yes, I have the time!‘

‘So, you will attend my wedding cancellation party, right?‘

‘Of course!‘

As she read his short yet straightforward reply, Queenie figured that Nigel was a friend indeed because he always lent a hand whenever she needed help.

Therefore, as she considered how he was always there for her, thick and thin, she completely regarded Nigel as her bosom buddy. She would treat him as a close friend as long as he didn’t despise her low social status,

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1492

Meanwhile, in Manson Group’s main office, Nigel looked at the text on his phone, and a trace of curiosity gleamed in his sharp eyes.

He would like to see how Queenie would introduce him tonight. He was twenty–eight years old, but he still exuded a rare aura of youthfulness, and he knew, based on experience, that he was good–looking. Coupled with his 1.86–meter statuesque physique, he looked charming when he smiled and solemn when he didn’t.

Apart from his family, no one had ever seen him smile. In fact, people who didn’t know him personally would always praise Nigel’s dignified and gentlemanly manner.

Despite that, he liked racing, playing video games, and collecting the world’s most expensive snacks. It was as if he was a child in a man’s body.

At some point, Leslie had left. It wasn’t until 4.00PM that Queenie departed her room looking rather glamorous. She wore a fashionable dress today and even went out of her way to work on her hair. Her long and thick hair draped over her shoulders with natural–looking curls at the end. She was already lovely with delicate facial features, to begin with. Hence, despite using light makeup, she looked ever so radiant and gorgeous.

When she pushed the door and walked out, Bonnie, who was standing on the opposite side, was completely startled. She froze for a few seconds and stared straight at Queenie, sizing her up.

She was checking out Queenie’s makeover and her dress. Queenie frowned in slight discomfort. “What are you looking at?”

“What else can I be looking at? Also, we have the same face, so what’s there for me to see?” Bonnie snorted indifferently, but a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes. That was because although they looked alike, Bonnie’s face somehow looked stiff and unnatural.

Queenie ignored her and went downstairs. As soon as she landed at the last step, she heard her mother’s voice by the entrance. It seemed that Maggie had returned home.

Meanwhile, Bonnie stewed as she stood in front of the mirror. Then, after a while, she started to remove the makeup she had just put on and stared at her bare face. As she scrutinized herself, she noticed that her skin was not as smooth and flawless as Queenie’s. So, she reopened her makeup kit and did her makeup meticulously.

She remembered the critical features of Queenie’s makeover, so when she redid her makeup, she followed in Queenie’s footsteps. She even curled her hair just like Queenie and chose a similar dress but with a different color.

Finally, after the vigorous makeover, Bonnie looked at her reflection in the mirror. Now, she looked like she was Queenie’s twin through and through. Only then did she raise her eyebrows in satisfaction. Nevertheless, there was a glint of resentment in her eyes.

Time passed, and it was already 5.00PM. In order not to get caught in traffic, they had come to an agreement to leave early.

“What is taking Bonnie so long?” Maggie asked curiously and then ordered the maid nearby to check up on her, “Rachel, remind Miss Bonnie that we’re short on time.”

Rachel, the Silverstein Family’s maid, rushed up the stairs and headed straight to Bonnie’s room. Not long after, Bonnie came downstairs. Queenie happened to be drinking water. When she saw Bonnie coming down the stairs, she almost spat the water out in shock. Why was Bonnie’s outfit precisely the same as hers?

Bonnie wasn’t wearing this dress earlier, and her previous makeup was heavy and thick. Yet now, she was wearing the same light makeup as Queenie and even applied the same lipstick color.

Maggie looked at her twin daughters in surprise as she regarded them. There was no doubt that she wouldn’t have been able to differentiate the two had she not raised Queenie herself!

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1493

Bonnie presented herself before Queenie in absolute confidence. Then, she proceeded to quip with false cheer, “Queenie, we look really alike!”

“Why are you copying me?” Queenie snapped with a hint of annoyance.

“What? Am I? Well, some twins have the same taste and preferences. So maybe we fall in that same category.” Bonnie retorted, deliberately pressing Queenie’s buttons.

Unfortunately for Bonnie, Queenie’could care less for this sister of hers as she merely rolled her eyes in exasperation and walked to the door. She and Maggie shared a ride while Bonnie and Brandon took another vehicle together.

On the way to the hotel, Queenie sent the hotel’s address to Nigel with a text, ‘Young Master Nigel, take your time. You can come after the banquet starts.‘

‘Are you on your way to the hotel now?‘ Nigel replied promptly.

‘Yes, we just left. Take your time!‘ Queenie planned to make his appearance the highlight of the night. Then, when others sympathized with her, she would magnificently announce that she had a better choice.

She didn’t even inform her parents about her plan. She figured that this would be a surprise for them later!

In the car in front of Queenie’s car, Bonnie looked troubled as she was entirely engrossed in her thoughts because she knew what Leslie wanted to do tonight. He wanted to call off his engagement with Queenie and propose to her.

Leslie had lost his original value since Queenie liked Nigel now. Moreover, Leslie paled in comparison to Nigel in terms of charisma and wealth, and they were not even in the same league.

Now, all Bonnie could think about was how to approach Nigel. She would not allow Leslie to hinder her plan.

Therefore, she would stop Leslie from proposing to her tonight at all costs.

Leslie, who was obviously dressed to the nines, looked handsome in a suit as he stood at the restaurant door. When he saw their cars, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically and opened the door for Brandon. When he saw Bonnie in the car, he instantly offered his hand to her, but Bonnie would instead leave the vehicle from the other side than be held by him.

A little taken aback, Leslie stood up and spotted Queenie, who had just come out of the car behind Brandon and Bonnie. Suffice to say, he was startled by Queenie’s beauty.

It was close to dusk, and the sun was setting. An evening breeze blew over and slightly ruffled Queenie’s hair. Her radiant face was akin to a blooming rose, highlighting her calm and pure charm.

Compared with Bonnie’s amorous aura, Queenie exuded a composed yet refined aura of a woman who knows exactly what she wants and how she would achieve her goals. Nevertheless, although she was not one for coquettish acts, she also never acted as though everyone was beneath her.

At this moment, Leslie’s eyes lit up as he laid his gaze on her. Only then did he realize that Queenie, who he had cold–shouldered previously, was actually very beautiful.

There was a unique charm in her.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1494

On the other hand, Bonnie had figured despite her utterly ignoring Leslie; he would still chase after her and treat her courteously. Thus, when she turned around, she was stupefied to see him holding the car door as he goggled at Queenie.

Bonnie was so enraged by the sight that she couldn’t help but grit her teeth in irritation. What was going on here? Is Leslie falling for Queenie?!

Nonetheless, Queenie didn’t even bat an eye at Leslie this time. She merely held her purse elegantly, followed after Maggie, and walked gracefully into the brightly lit lobby. The moment her thoughts wandered to the most anticipated event of Leslie calling off the engagement later, she could feel the anticipation within her surge. She, of all people, looked forward to tonight’s shocking yet scandalous event, especially when she knew that the chips were about to fall in her favor.

After Leslie hurriedly composed himself, he went straight to Bonnie and stood beside her. Still, Bonnie noticed his blunder, so she pulled a long face and gave him a cold look.

“Bonnie, come, I’ll hold your handbag.” Leslie immediately tried to placate her.

“No, thanks.” After she said that, she deliberately stopped to look at her phone. When Maggie asked her to join the family in the elevator, she said, “Mom, you guys go ahead. I’ll be over in a while.”

Maggie nodded and pressed the button, and the family of three went upstairs together. Finally, Bonnie directed her attention to Leslie and sneered, “I saw you staring at Queenie just now. So what? Have you had enough of me and set your sights on her again?”

Leslie gasped sheepishly and quickly hugged her shoulders with a smile. “No! You’ve mistaken. I love you only you. I plan to break off the engagement tonight because I want to marry you.” and Bonnie felt a twisted sort of pleasure as she enjoyed his sweet nothings. So, it was only after Leslie comforted her for a while did she walk in the direction of the elevator. She enjoyed reducing Leslie into a meek and pathetic man.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1495

A few members of the Payne Family were sitting around the table at the restaurant, including Leslie’s grandparents, his parents, and his two aunts and uncles–in–law. They were not here today to call off Leslie’s and Queenie’s engagement, but they were here mainly to re–select Leslie’s future wife, who would also be the future matriarch of their family.

When Queenie walked in, they couldn’t recognize her and weren’t sure if she was Queenie or Bonnie. “Mrs. Silverstein, w–who is this? Is she Queenie or Bonnie?”

“This is my eldest daughter, Queenie, Bonnie and Leslie will be coming right up!” Maggie explained with a smile.

“Oh, they look very alike. We can’t tell them apart!” Leslie’s mother, Keira Faulkner, donned an awkward smile as she tried to gloss over her social faux pas.

Although Queenie hated Leslie, she still treated the seniors politely since they weren’t the target of her ire. She bowed slightly and courteously greeted the members of the Payne Family.

Not long after, they saw Bonnie and Leslie walking in together, but they were slightly disappointed when they looked at Bonnie’s obviously amorous and arrogant figure. They wondered why Leslie would fall for such a prideful and vain woman.

It was obvious at a glance that Queenie was even more dignified, well–behaved, and refined than her twin!

As Bonnie took her seat beside Brandon, she couldn’t even be bothered to say hello while she merely swept a dismissive glance at the members of the Payne Family.

“Bonnie, say hello to Leslie’s grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles!”

“Hello,” Bonnie reluctantly obeyed in a somewhat haughty manner.

The members of the Payne Family secretly gasped in shock and exchanged bewildered glances. Queenie and Bonnie were sisters, but why was Bonnie different from what they imagined?

They assumed that Leslie had chosen the more outstanding one among the twins, but to their dismay, he had done nothing of the sort. If anything, Bonnie was the epitome of a spoiled brat.

“Oh, so you’re Bonnie! Leslie has always talked about you. It’s nice to finally put a face to the name.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I hereby announce that my engagement with Leslie is null and void. From now on, my sister, Bonnie, will become Leslie’s fiancée,” Queenie affirmed in a crisp voice.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1496

As soon as she finished speaking, Maggie and Brandon were thrilled, while the members of the Payne Family were dismayed. Bonnie was so enraged that her face twisted into a hateful scowl, and she turned to glare at Queenie. Why was Queenie so eager to pair her and Leslie up?

“We’re here to call off your engagement with Leslie. It’s not my engagement party,” Bonnie rebuked directly and looked a little upset. “How can I get engaged with Leslie right after you call off the engagement with him?”

“Bonnie, you and Leslie love each other. Since we are all here tonight, let’s discuss your engagement with Leslie right away!” Brandon said to Bonnie. After all, Leslie and Bonnie had done the deed, so he hoped Leslie would be responsible and marry Bonnie.

“We don’t have any objections as long as Leslie likes Bonnie,” concluded Leslie’s father.

Brandon had only two daughters, each of whom would inherit half of their family’s massive assets and wealth. In that case, no matter who Leslie married, he would be able to get half of the Silverstein Family’s assets in the future, which was a great advantage for them.

The members of the Payne Family looked harmonious and joyful, but each of them was filled with glee as they conspired to seize the Silverstein Family’s wealth.

“Bonnie, if you think it’s too hasty to get engaged tonight, I’ll prepare a grand proposal party tomorrow and invite all my family and friends to witness it. Is that okay?” Leslie asked. He shared the same thought with his parents. He wanted to marry one of Brandon’s daughters in order to lay his hands on the Silverstein Family’s wealth.

“Let me sleep on it!” Bonnie neither refused nor accepted his proposal.

“Queenie, don’t be discouraged. You’re a wonderful girl. I’m sure you can find a better man than Leslie,” Keira feigned empathy as she comforted Queenie.

Queenie curled her lips into a sweet smile even though her following words were anything but honeyed. “Mrs. Payne, thank you for your concern. Unfortunately, Leslie and I are not destined to be together, but I already have someone I like, so I’m also very eager to call off the engagement.”

The members of the Payne Family were stupefied. As far as they knew, Queenie once barged into the hotel room to catch Leslie cheating on her red–handed. The incident was blown up so terribly that it even tarnished Leslie’s reputation a little. So, they assumed Queenie would pester Leslie and insist on marrying him.

However, they were caught off guard by Queenie’s remarks and were dumbfounded for a few seconds. Keira even stammered awkwardly, “O–Oh! I–Is that so? You like someone else!“

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1497

“Yes, I have someone I like. I’m eager to give way to Bonnie so we can marry the right person! See, she and Leslie were so in love that they couldn’t keep their hands off each other before I called off the engagement with Leslie! I didn’t want to be in their way, so I quickly broke off the engagement!” Queenie chuckled.

Maggie, who sat beside Queenie, tugged at Queenie’s sleeve under the table, urging her to stop talking. After all, this matter did tarnish their family’s reputation.

Bonnie’s face turned a little red in embarrassment. Was Queenie implying that she was shameless? Leslie also felt discomfited by Queenie’s seemingly accidental social blunder.

Was Queenie trying to ridicule him in front of his family?

“Queenie, I’m sorry I cheated on you, but I love Bonnie. I can’t let Bonnie down, even though you like me.”

“Oh, please, you think too highly of yourself. I’ve never liked you. Also, the man I like is much better than you,” Queenie sniffed proudly.

After hearing her remarks, the members of the Payne Family were disgruntled. Did Queenie mean to say that Leslie was unworthy? This meant that she somehow looked down on their family!

“Is that so? You’re so lucky, Queenie. It’s unfortunate that Leslie doesn’t like you,” Keira said in a passive- aggressive manner.

“Oh, I should thank Leslie for allowing me to find someone better. I wouldn’t have had the chance to take a fancy to someone else if Leslie hadn’t hooked up with Bonnie while we were engaged!” Queenie smiled.

Feast your eyes on the trash that is your son! He cheated on me with my sister while we were still engaged. How shameful! Queenie thought. At this point, the members of the Payne Family looked outraged. Keira didn’t want to say another word while Leslie’s grandfather covered up his embarrassment by drinking water.

“Shush, Queenie. Stop talking,” Brandon muttered discretely. Even though he did feel that Queenie was running her mouth today, he also felt rather proud that she was being particularly eloquent.

On the other hand, Bonnie’s paranoia was running high as she started theorizing about Queenie’s actions, Queenie said she likes someone else. Is it Nigel? Are they really dating?

“Queenie, how can you say that? You can’t force someone to like you. Although I heard you also like Leslie, he will be your brother–in–law. As Bonnie’s sister, you should be more gracious and open–minded. You should give them your blessing!” one of Leslie’s aunts rebuked furiously after Queenie ridiculed Leslie in front of them.

She was definitely mocking Queenie for being petty.

At this moment, Queenie’s phone rang. As she laid her eyes on the caller ID on the screen, she smiled and said, “Excuse me, my boyfriend is here. I’ll fetch him over and make sure to introduce him to all of you later.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1498

Bonnie, who was drinking water, jerked her head up abruptly and looked toward the door. What the hell? Was Nigel really here?

Leslie’s expression also changed. Who did Queenie ask to come? Boyfriend? Hah! He didn’t believe that Queenie had a boyfriend within a few days.

She must have asked one of her male friends to pretend to be her boyfriend to save face.

Queenie pushed the door open. As soon as she came out, she saw Nigel standing in the corridor in a white shirt and black trousers. He looked like an elite businessman who had just gotten out of a meeting.

At this moment, Queenie was so touched that her eyes turned slightly red–rimmed. She was all too grateful that he came to back her up and give her a helping hand.

“Mr. Nigel, you’re here!” Queenie smiled as she looked at him.

Nigel couldn’t help but frown when he saw her red eyes. “What’s wrong? Did someone upset you?”

Queenie shook her head. “No. These are tears of joy. I’m so glad you came! I was so worried that you wouldn’t show up!”

“I gave you my word, so I will definitely attend!” Nigel narrowed his eyes with a determined expression.

“Alright, let’s go in. Later, I’ll call you Nigel, and you’ll call me Queenie,” Queenie whispered.

At the dining table, Bonnie was so anxious that she could feel her heart hammering against her chest rapidly. Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door. Was it really Nigel?

Was Queenie so capable that she could win Nigel’s heart in just a few days? Bonnie secretly balled her hands

into fists under the table.

In the meantime, Leslie knew Queenie’s unyielding personality very well. He was curious to see which friend she had invited to play her fake boyfriend in order to regain her dignity after being dumped by him.
