Ch. 1511..1520
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1511
Nigel suggested before Queenie could say anything, “Let’s go to another restaurant to have dinner. I didn’t eat much just now.”
Queenie was rather famished, too, so she beamed and agreed happily, “Alright! My treat!”
With that, they headed to the nearby restaurant. Leslie’s family was horrified when they got a call from him. They immediately rushed out of the restaurant to the clinic to fetch him in a flurry of movements. Meanwhile, Brandon and Maggie were saddened because their friendship with the Payne Family was utterly severed after that debacle. So, when they left the restaurant, they made. a call to Bonnie and Queenie, respectively, on the way home.
During the call, they learned that Queenie was having dinner and Bonnie was taking a stroll outside. Although satisfied that their daughters were safe and sound, they were still bogged down by the situation with the Paynes. Thus, they demanded the girls return home as swiftly as possible.
Queenie ate while complimenting Nigel across the table over the restaurant of his choosing.
“You’re very good at acting! It’s a shame that you’re not interested in theatre!” Queenie praised him sincerely.
“You told me to get into character, remember?” Nigel curled his lips into an impish smile.
Queenie choked on her food and coughed slightly. As it turned out, he was just acting tonight. But, for some reason, she felt a little disappointed.
“Yes, it was awesome. Thanks to you, I have preserved my dignity.” Queenie gave him a thumbs up. “Thank you. When you need my help, just say the word, and I’ll definitely lend a hand when I
can.”
“Oh? Can you help me with anything?” Nigel narrowed his eyes as he clarified with her again.
“Yes, anything! Just tell me. I will help you. You have my word.” Queenie felt a little thirsty after speaking, so she picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
“Well, I feel a little lonely tonight. How about you keep me company?” Nigel smirked as he teased
her.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1512
Queenie was so shocked that she sprayed that sip of water on Nigel’s face and the food on the table.
Poor Nigel was so startled that he stared at her in shock as though his brain had stopped functioning. He could clearly feel fine drops of water spraying on his handsome face, but he just couldn’t believe that it actually happened.
Queenie was utterly taken aback by his teasing, so she was still somewhat dazed. Nevertheless, when she finally regained her composure, she hurriedly grabbed the napkin and handed it to Nigel, who looked at her with a complicated expression.
“Oh, my! I’m so sorry! Here, wipe your face. I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m terribly sorry!”
Nigel closed his eyes, and his thin lips twitched a little as he finally came to terms with reality. He took the napkin from her and wiped his handsome face while fixing his aggrieved gaze on her.
“Uh… I don’t think we can eat this. Let’s order something else!” Queenie flushed in embarrassment. Her actions, never mind how accidental, had ruined the entire table worth of
food.
This was why it was best to keep unpredictable or shocking things to oneself when eating, or the consequences would be disastrous!
“I’m full.” Nigel placed the napkin away and said to her, “Let’s go!”
Thankfully, Queenie already had a fill, and she sensed that Nigel was angered, so she didn’t protest as she nodded and followed behind him quietly.
Unfortunately, when they were in the elevator, she couldn’t help but recall the scene and felt that the whole thing was hilarious. But since she was the cause and her victim was right next to her, she tried her hardest not to laugh as she replayed the scene repeatedly in her mind. Still, her shaking shoulders and the way she avoided looking at him betrayed her thoughts.
Nigel looked at her in askance and grunted, “Just laugh.”
“Haha!” When she heard his ‘approval, she immediately stopped suppressing her laughter and laughed her head off.
When they walked out of the restaurant, Queenie, who was laughing so hard that she began to gasp, didn’t even notice that Nigel stopped in his tracks. Thus, she bumped straight into his back.
“Ouch! It hurts…” Queenie rubbed her stinging nose ruefully.
It seemed as if Queenie had a laughing problem because she could not stop it, no matter how hard she tried. When Nigel turned around and stared at her, she looked up, and another round of chuckles would burst from her lips when she saw his serious face.
Oh goodness, what is wrong with me?! She felt she couldn’t stop giggling as long as she looked at him. tonight.
On the other hand, Nigel didn’t find it funny at all. Instead, he felt embarrassed when Queenie kept cackling. It felt like he was being laughed at rather than admired for his humor.
“Queenie…” he called in a low, threatening voice.
Queenie looked up at him. Then, all of a sudden, two large palms cupped her face. Before she could process what was going on, Nigel closed his eyes and kissed her.
The warmth on her lips surprised her so much that she stopped laughing altogether. Rather, she was so flustered that her mind went blank due to panic.
Nigel sucked on her red lips before releasing her with a slight gasp. He looked at her and questioned her huskily, “Cat got your tongue?”
The kiss seemed like an effective method to silence her laughter. Queenie blinked, bit her lips,
and looked at him in bewilderment. There were tears at the corners of her eyes that looked like
diamonds embellishing the corner of her eyes. She looked particularly delectable.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1513
Mesmerized by Queenie’s beauty, Nigel felt that one kiss was not enough. So he extended his arm to embrace her and kiss her again, but this time, Queenie responded quickly by taking a step back and pushing him away.
“No, stop… You can’t just do whatever you want to me. If you kiss me again, you have to be my boyfriend.” Queenie was wise regarding her love life. Hence, she barely held hands with Leslie when they were ‘dating’.
Nigel snorted because he felt that she was snubbing him. “Do you think I don’t want to date you?”
“Do you want to date me?” Queenie’s eyes lit up with delight.
Nigel narrowed his eyes as he replied affirmatively, “Of course.”
This time, it was Queenie’s turn to be shocked. She had always been relatively levelheaded in the relationship department, so she bit her lips and muttered, “Wait… Give me some time to think about it, okay?”
She didn’t know much about Nigel’s family other than the fact that they were extremely wealthy. She and Nigel were not of the same social status, and he was way out of her league.
Nigel was dumbstruck by her question. What was there to think about? Was he not good enough
for her?
“I’ll give you three days to think about it. Then, when the time comes, we’ll date.”
“What if I need more time?” Queenie blinked and asked, fighting for a way for herself.
As Nigel walked toward his car, he proclaimed, “You can’t run away from me no matter what.”
Queenie felt like she was a rabbit that had become the target of the big bad wolf, Nigel.
As she tried to digest what was happening, she finally came to her senses, and her lips curled into a smile. Challenge accepted! Her clear eyes shone with anticipation of a new journey ahead of her.
If she succeeded, she would become Mrs. Manson. If she failed, she would return to being Miss Silverstein. It seemed that she wouldn’t suffer any loss either way.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1514
On the way home, Queenie’s phone rang. She frowned when she saw the caller ID. “Leslie? Why is he calling me?”
“Don’t answer it,” Nigel commanded in an authoritative tone.
Queenie didn’t answer his call, but Leslie called for the second time. She wondered if something terrible had happened to Bonnie, so she answered, albeit unwillingly, “Hello! Is something the matter?”
“Queenie! You finally answered my call. I’m fine. I just want to talk to you…”
“I don’t have anything to say to you.”
“No! Please don’t hang up… I’m so moved today! Do you know how much you mean to me? I just realized today that you are ten thousand times better and kinder than Bonnie… I was so stupid to break up with you. You would have been my wife now if I hadn’t been charmed by Bonnie,” Leslie confessed his feelings affectionately.
“That’s enough. Stop it.” Queenie was irritated by his frankly shameless attitude.
At this moment, the car stopped at the traffic light. Nigel snatched the phone from Queenie’s hand and warned Leslie, “I like Queenie. Stop pestering her.” After that, he ended the call and handed the phone back to her.
When Queenie took the phone, her face flushed crimson, and her heart thumped wildly.
It felt as if someone had made a reservation for her lifetime happiness, and the person who made the reservation was a rich and handsome young man.
Did it mean that the snack pantry in his house belonged to her?
When they reached the entrance of Queenie’s house, Nigel parked his car under the tree. Queenie looked in the direction of her house and then at Nifel beside her. Then, she murmured reluctantly. “Thanks for the ride. I’ll head off now.”
“Go on!” Nigel tilted his head and looked at her as he said gently.
Queenie opened the door and got out of the car. Only after watching his car leave did she enter the house.
As soon as she walked into the house, her parents were deep in conversation, and she heard Maggie’s guilty voice. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t educate Bonnie well, so the Paynes thought she was an ill-mannered brat.”
“Alright, don’t blame yourself. We’ll talk to Bonnie when she gets back. But, since Leslie did not want to take responsibility for what he had done, we won’t allow Bonnie to get married to an irresponsible man like that. She will have a tough life if she marries him,” Brandon dismissed in
anger.
They were angry at the Paynes instead of Bonnie.
“Mom, Dad, I’m home.” Queenie walked in with her handbag in hand. The moment she caught sight of Maggie’s red eyes, she instantly headed over to comfort her. “Don’t be sad, Mom. It’s all my fault.”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1515
“I know that Leslie and Bonnie wronged you, but Queenie, promise me that you won’t take out your anger on Bonnie again, okay? Both of you are my daughters. I’ll be heartbroken and torn if either of you is unhappy.”
Queenie understood Maggie’s anguish, but she could not expect Maggie to understand her misery. It was even more challenging for her to tell Maggie about all the nasty things Bonnie had done to her.
She could not whine about them. All she could do was keep them to herself.
Only by restraining herself would her family have a modicum of peace.
“Okay, I’ll try not to needle her,” Queenie promised. Her parents had had a hard time today after handling the whole lot of angered Paynes, so she did not want to upset them further.
“Where is Bonnie? Why hasn’t she returned yet?” Brandon asked worriedly. “She can be quite stubborn. What if something bad happens to her?!”
A horrified and worried Brandon made another call to Bonnie. Bonnie obviously answered the call because Brandon quickly asked, “Bonnie! Where are you? Hurry up and come home. Queenie is already home.”
“Dad, I’m sad. I don’t want to go home yet.”
“No, you must come home now! It’s already ten. Send me your current location. I’ll go over and fetch you,” Brandon demanded.
“Alright, but I’ll go home by myself. You don’t have to come and fetch me,” Bonnie said on the other end of the line.
“I’ll ask the driver to fetch you.”
“No, you don’t have to. I’ll take a cab back.” After that, Bonnie hung up.
Queenie disapproved of Bonnie’s behavior as she looked at her parents’ apparent anxiety over their wayward daughter. The twins had a 10.00PM curfew, and she had never caused her parents such worry by returning home on the dot.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1516
It was almost 11.00PM when a grumpy Bonnie finally deigned to return home. The resentment was even more evident in Bonnie’s expression when she looked at Queenie sitting on the couch.
Queenie said, “Did you know that Leslie had a car accident tonight?”
“What?!” Bonnie shrieked in shock. “What car accident? Where?”
“Outside the restaurant. You shook off his hand and ran across the street. He chased after you and was hit by a car,” Queenie said.
Bonnie was taken aback for a few seconds. Then, she remembered that only a few seconds were left on the green light when she crossed the street, but she didn’t see if Leslie had caught up with
her. She felt somewhat guilty for a moment, but on second thought, she felt that Leslie deserved it. She never asked him to chase after now, did she?
“He didn’t die. So, what’s the fuss?” Bonnie blurted indifferently.
At this moment, Maggie came down the stairs. Bonnie’s expression changed immediately, and she cried as if she got straight into her character, “Oh my goodness! Is Leslie alright? It’s all my fault. He wouldn’t have had an accident if it weren’t for me.”
Queenie frowned in disgust when she watched Bonnie acting immediately as soon as Maggie showed up. “Cut the
“Cut the crap,
will you?!”
Maggie happened to hear what Bonnie said. She rushed downstairs and assured her, “Bonnie, it’s not your fault. Leslie wasn’t seriously injured, fortunately. He just got a few scrapes, that’s all.”
“Mom, I’m sorry. I’ve disgraced you today. Did the Paynes give you a hard time?” Bonnie embraced Maggie, and her eyes turned red instantly.
Queenie’s jaw dropped when she witnessed the scene. Even an actress would not be able to cry as fast as she could. Despite being used to such a thing, she still felt agitated and resentful at the fact that her parents had never seen past Bonnie’s façade.
“Never mind us, but you have to break up with Leslie. But, Bonnie, don’t worry. Your dad and I will find a better husband for you,” Maggie avowed.
Bonnie nodded timidly. “Okay.”
“Go and take a shower. I’ll ask Courtney to make sandwiches for you.”
“No, I don’t want them. Her sandwiches are not delicious at all. But, mom, I want to eat your sandwiches,” Bonnie pouted and even grimaced in disgust even though Courtney was standing next to them.
Courtney lowered her head sadly. She had been cooking for over a decade and took pride in her cooking skills. Bonnie’s belittling remarks had truly hurt her.
“Courtney’s food is very delicious. It doesn’t suit your taste, that’s all,” Queenie rebuked.
“Delicious? Blargh! Mom, we should fire her and hire a new chef. I’ve been eating the same dishes. every day. I’ve had enough of it!” Bonnie sneered with disdain.
Maggie hurriedly coaxed, “Shush. Alright now, that’s enough out of you. Go and take a shower. I’ll make the sandwiches.”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1517
As Bonnie headed upstairs in a huff, she glared at Courtney as she walked the stairs.
As soon as Bonnie was out of sight, Maggie comforted Courtney before going into the kitchen to cook something up for Bonnie.
Meanwhile, Queenie was fuming with anger inside. Ever since Bonnie returned, everyone at home had not been in a good mood and had to coax her like she was a princess.
Arriving upstairs. Queenie found that Bonnie had already taken a shower as she came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of revealing pajamas. At that, Queenie’s face darkened as she chided, “Hey, Dad is still at home. Why are you dressed like this?”
“Oh, Queenie. You must be jealous, aren’t you? After all, I’m much better than you when it comes to certain aspects.” Then, Bonnie proudly puffed out her chest while taunting, “Yours look like they have yet to hit puberty. What a shame.”
In actuality, Queenie’s figure was not as bad as Bonnie made it out to be; her chests were merely not as exaggerated as Bonnie’s, which looked fake since she had some surgery done.
“Yeah, fine, sure. Yours are bigger than mine. Are you happy now? Change your clothes and head downstairs,” ordered Queenie as she gritted her teeth.
Although Bonnie was their father’s daughter, it would still be embarrassing for her to go. downstairs in such clothing and get seen by their father. Moreover, their mother would be upset. as well if she saw it!
Yet, Bonnie only wore this outfit with the intention to show Queenie how her figure was better than hers.
Seeing that her sister had gone back to her room, Queenie heaved a sigh of relief. There were times when Bonnie’s actions and behavior reminded her of the shameless women from nightclubs.
As such, Queenie went back to her room and came to the mirror in her bathroom. She turned to her side and looked at her figure in the mirror. Puberty has yet to hit me? Pffi. I think they’re already better than others. Ring! At that moment, her phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Nigel.
“
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1518
Hello!” she answered the call as she plopped onto the bed.
“Are you asleep?”
“Nope. What about you?”
“I just came out of the shower.”
Queenie’s mind immediately fled to the scene of that man coming out of the bathroom. Her pretty face flushed as she replied, “So, are you going to bed soon?”
“Yeah, soon.”
“I can’t sleep, though.”
“Why? Are you too excited to sleep?” Nigel teased her.
“No. I’m too angry to sleep.”
“Did your sister anger you again?”
Distressed, Nigel was actually empathetic to her situation. This was because even at first glance, Bonnie did not look like a person that was easy to deal with. He knew that Queenie must have suffered a lot of grievances to have to interact with a person like her.
“I’m going to ask you a question, but you have to answer me honestly.” As Queenie finished her words, she lowered her head and looked at her sash. The words Bonnie had said earlier continued to challenge her confidence.
“Ask away.” Nigel listened carefully to what she was about to ask.
“You promise not to laugh at me.”
“Of course.” He was looking forward to her question.
Plucking up her courage, Queenie took a deep breath and asked, “What do you think about my body? Is it good?”
“Pretty good.”
“If so… Do I look… small?”
“Where do you mean?” Nigel asked in a serious manner.
“There!” She buried her face into the blanket in shame.
As if she heard the man’s muffled laughter, she exclaimed, “You promised not to laugh at me!”
“Cough… I didn’t. I think you’re fine. According to my visual inspection, I think they’re quite good,” Nigel reassured her.
“When did you visually inspect them?” she asked while biting her lip.
“When I was with you. Not really a hard task to do so,” Nigel replied.
Queenie snorted. As expected, men never have pure intentions!Even Nigel’s one of them. In that case, does that mean he’s checked out Bonnie’s too?!
“According to your ‘visual inspections, my sister’s chest must be more attractive, right?” With jealousy rising within her, it became evident in her tone as well.
The man on the other end did not expect her to react this way, so he responded straightforwardly, “I only look at women whom I am interested in. Women that I am not interested in will not attract me, no matter how good they look.”
“But my sister and I look quite similar. If you like my looks, you should like hers too!” Queenie argued while biting her lips.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1519
“To me, you guys are polar opposites. No matter how similar you both look on the outside, your personalities are obviously different. Queenie Silverstein, you should have more faith in me,” Nigel replied solemnly.
As soon as Queenie heard that, her confidence immediately returned and she hummed in response before saying, “Okay. I’ll let this go.”
“Do you have any plans for tomorrow?” she continued.
“If you agree to have lunch with me, then I will have a plan for tomorrow,” he replied.
Suddenly, Queenie felt a surge of anticipation in her chest. “Sure! Let’s do that.”
“Rest early and don’t think about anything else.”
“So, I can’t think about you tonight? Sure, I’ll do that,” she deliberately teased.
Nigel was speechless. “Except… for me. Think about me.”
“Will you be thinking about me too?” she asked.
“Yes.”
Finally satisfied, she concluded, “Good. I’ll be thinking about you too. Good night.”
“Good night,” he responded.
Queenie waited for a while before hanging up. With anticipation, she was imagining her lunch date with Nigel tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Bonnie had changed into casual clothes and was having her meal downstairs. She asked her mother, “Mom, are Queenie and Young Master Nigel dating?”
“Judging by the situation, I think they are.” Maggie was happy, as she no longer had to worry about her eldest daughter since Queenie was such a lucky person to have met Nigel. For now, she only had to worry about her younger daughter’s future.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1520
“Mom, do you really think that our family can match up to the Manson Family? What if Young Master Nigel is only playing her?” Bonnie asked worriedly.
Truth be told, Maggie was also worried about that matter, for she did not want her daughter to fall for an ungrateful person either. With a frown, she stated, “I will tell Queenie to be more alert. If he is playing with her feelings, then she should stop this relationship and not let it ruin her life.”
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll help Queenie keep a lookout as well.” Bonnie smiled.
Assuming that it was a kind gesture, Maggie grinned approvingly. “That’s good! This is how sisters are meant to be; always loving, helping, and thinking about each other.”
At about 9.00AM next morning, Courtney heard the doorbell ring before she went to open the door. It was then she saw Leslie standing there with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
“Mr. Payne, you’re here so early!”
Although Leslie still had a bandaid on his face, he looked to be in high spirits as he dressed up handsomely. He held the flowers in his arms, came into the house, and entered the dining room.
Brandon had left early in the morning whereas Bonnie and Queenie had just finished their breakfast while Maggie was instructing the servants about something.
Just as Bonnie was about to head upstairs, she heard footsteps coming from the entrance and turned her head to see Leslie walking in with a bouquet of flowers. Her expression immediately turned disdainful and she rolled her eyes. “Leslie, didn’t I make myself clear? I told you to never come- However, before she could finish, she saw him walking toward the couch with the flowers and knelt on one knee before the couch where Queenie was sitting. “Queenie, please accept these flowers. They are a token of my gratitude.”
Queenie was stunned for a few seconds. Is Leslie giving me flowers? What’s going on?
“Leslie, you’ve got the wrong person!” She frowned.
On the other hand, Bonnie also wondered if Leslie had hit his eye in the car accident yesterday. Otherwise, why was he unable to differentiate between Queenie and herself?
Although Bonnie had given up on him, watching him present flowers to her sister made her feel uncomfortable.
“No, I’ve got you right. This flower is meant for you, Queenie. I apologize for all the hurt I’ve brought to you. Please forgive me.” Leslie felt like he had been reborn and did not even spare Bonnie a glance since he came in.
Meanwhile, Bonnie bit her red lips as she looked disbelievingly at what had happened. Did Leslie just ignore me and is now confessing his love for Queenie?
“Leslie, I heard that you got into an accident yesterday. Where are you hurt?” Bonnie took the initiative to ask about his well-being and walked toward the couch.
As the man turned his head to look at her, his eyes were no longer filled with affection anymore; instead, there was only coldness. “I don’t need your sympathy.”
“I’m sorry. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have left you behind and caused you to get into an accident.” While saying so, Bonnie was shooting him with eyes full of grievances. Back then, she only had to frown a little and Leslie would buy her gifts to coax her.
