Ch. 1631..1640

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1631 First Night with the Silversteins

“He’s a friend of mine. I’ll invite him out for a meal with all of us sometime soon!” Nigel agreed with a smile. He was more than happy to oblige.

Jessie shared briefly about her life at the orphanage. Fortunately, the director at the orphanage had been a kind, motherly figure who treated Jessie well. Although the orphanage was poor, Jessie’s childhood had been filled with love and joy.

It went without saying that Brandon and Maggie were determined to thank the director at the orphanage. They were also going to provide as much help as they could to the orphanage.

“Jessie, my dear child.” Maggie held Jessie in her arms all this while as if she was making up for the lost time. Jessie could sense the love her parents had for her, as well as the remorse they felt for all the years of separation.

However, in Jessie’s eyes, being reunited with her family was her greatest joy in life. She felt a weight lifted off her shoulders after knowing that her parents were still alive and healthy.

After dinner, Nigel left, and Queenie took Jessie to her room. The Silverstein couple couldn’t wait to refurbish a room for Jessie. The one that Bonnie used had been turned into a storage room.

The couple didn’t want Jessie to stay in that room either. They didn’t want their precious daughter to be tainted by the room’s previous owner.

With Brandon and Maggie’s permission, Queenie filled Jessie in on everything that happened in the past year.

Jessie could hardly believe her ears. Someone pretended to be me and leeched off the family? She even spent over a million of the family’s money?

Nevertheless, Jessie rejoiced at the imposter’s outcome. She was back now. No one could use her identity again.

That night, Brandon and Maggie were so ecstatic that they couldn’t sleep a wink. It was as if the long nightmare had ended and had been replaced by the sweetest dream they could have.

Their youngest daughter had truly come home to them.

“Jessie. It’s a lovely name,” Maggie remarked with a sigh.

“Jessie Silverstein. It rolls right off the tongue. From now on, we have both our daughters with us.”

“I know! My dream has always been to see both our daughters marry and start their own families. I’m sure it’ll come true now.”

Back in Queenie’s room, the two sisters had much to talk about too. They stayed up talking until the wee hours of the morning before they finally went to sleep.

It was the next morning.

Jessie hadn’t brought much with her, so she wore one of Queenie’s dresses. When she came downstairs, the maid couldn’t recognize who she was and called out, “Good morning, Miss Queenie!”

Jessie blinked and chuckled. “It’s me, Jessie.”

“Oh! I’m so sorry! Miss Jessie, you and Miss Queenie are so similar. I couldn’t tell you apart.”

“It’s fine.” Jessie smiled. She was an easygoing person.

When she came out to the garden, Brandon and Maggie also had to stare for a few moments before recognizing that she was Jessie.

“Come over here, Jessie,” Maggie called out to her.

Jessie went over to her right away. Maggie admired her daughter’s radiant beauty under the sunlight and felt deeply satisfied.

Brandon spoke up from the side. “Jessie, your mother and I have discussed things and we want to hold a dinner party. We want to invite all of our family and friends to come and get to know you.”

Jessie nodded. “Sure! I want to meet my other relatives too.”

“That’s decided, then. We’ll hold it tomorrow night,” Maggie declared happily.

Queenie came out to the garden. She had just talked to Nigel and confirmed that she and her family were going to have dinner with him tonight.

“Make sure to invite Mr. Gilmore. We need to thank him properly,” Maggie reminded Queenie without noticing that her youngest daughter was blushing hard. Mom, do you know that Mr. Gilmore is the biggest celebrity in the industry? It’s hard for anyone to invite him to anything!

“Don’t worry, Mom! I asked Nigel to invite him,” Queenie assured with a smile. She was certain that Nigel could get Julian to join them.

“Mom, I want to take Jessie to the mall.” Queenie wanted to go shopping with her sister.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1632 Shopping

“Oh, right. We’re having a dinner party tomorrow, so take Jessie to the boutique and pick out an evening gown for her,” Maggie instructed Queenie.

“I will.” Queenie linked arms with Jessie. “Come on! Let’s get some shopping done.”

Jessie was thrilled to go shopping with her sister, and their parents were grinning ear to ear to see their gorgeous girls heading out together.

The maid who was attending to them also started praising, “You’re so fortunate, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein! Your daughters are so beautiful. I’m sure they’ll find wonderful husbands in the future.”

That was music to Brandon and Maggie’s ears. Now that Queenie had found her life partner, they looked forward to Jessie meeting hers too.

Most women loved shopping, but Jessie never had the guts to step into these sorts of boutiques. It was her first time today, and Queenie kept getting her to try on all of the dresses she had only seen on the hottest actresses. Queenie bought everything that looked good on her.

In the blink of an eye, the two assistants who came out with the two sisters were weighed down by a mountain of shopping bags.

“Queenie, let’s stop. We don’t need to get anything else.”

“Nope, that’s not enough. Let’s continue.” Queenie dragged Jessie off to another boutique and the sisters spent another hour shopping before they went for lunch. After lunch, Queenie brought Jessie to a boutique to try on evening gowns, and once that was over, they stopped by the spa for some pampering before heading back home to get ready for dinner with Julian.

As it was, the situation hadn’t escaped Queenie’s eyes at all. She could tell that Jessie liked Julian but was too afraid to even consider anything due to Julian’s status in society.

Queenie wanted to help Jessie get closer to the man she liked, so she supported Jessie’s acting career. One day, Jessie would reach the pinnacle of success, and she would be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Julian as a highly acclaimed actress in her own right.

By then, Jessie would’ve proven herself, and she would be able to pursue something with Julian.

Therefore, Queenie gave it her all to doll Jessie up for dinner tonight.

When Queenie came down with Jessie, both Brandon and Maggie started tearing up again. This was the happiest they had been in a long time.

“Mom, Dad, we’re ready,” Queenie said.

“Great. Let’s go!”

The family of four drove off happily with Brandon in the driver’s seat, Maggie in the front passenger seat, and the two sisters together in the back.

Nigel had successfully dragged Julian into the car with him. No one knew that the award-winning actor was actually a homebody who had a relatively simple life outside of filming. He was a gifted actor who spent most of his free time playing video games with Nigel, tending to his garden, and staying home with his pets.

“Is there a need to make such a big deal out of thanking me? I didn’t do anything!” Julian felt a little embarrassed.

“You’ll just be holed up at home anyway, so you might as well have dinner with us,” Nigel shot back.

Well, it was true that Julian enjoyed hanging out with his friend.

When they arrived at the hotel, Nigel texted Queenie. The two men had arrived first but the Silversteins were soon arriving too, so the men decided to wait for them at the entrance to the restaurant.

A little while later, Brandon’s car pulled up to the hotel. He parked the car beside Nigel’s and the two beautiful young women stepped out.

Oddly enough, Nigel immediately recognized which one of them was Queenie, and Julian did the same with Jessie as well. Though they looked exactly the same, they had vastly different auras.

Despite being the same age, Queenie gave off an air of maturity, whereas Jessie had a cuter, more youthful air.

Jessie had spotted Julian through the car window earlier. She secretly tried to calm her pounding heart as she didn’t want her parents to notice her reaction. In the past, she thought of him as the unattainable man who was way out of her league, but now, she was going to have dinner with him, and she would even be able to see him often from now on.

The thought of that made her positively giddy!

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1633 Dinner

Julian was someone who would still look handsome and distinguished no matter what he wore. Tonight, he was wearing a simple black hoodie, but that was enough to make him look like a prince.

Queenie had already started skipping over to Nigel. She wanted to hug him, but she held herself back since her parents were around.

“You must be Julian Gilmore! My, my! What a fine young man you are!” Maggie swiftly went forward to greet Julian warmly.

Julian sensed warmth and kindness from her. He nodded and smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Silverstein.”

“Thank you for helping us find Jessie, Julian. Who knows when we would’ve reunited with her if it hadn’t been for you?” Brandon was immensely grateful.

“Not at all. I met Miss Silverstein by coincidence too.” Julian didn’t dare to take credit for it as he hadn’t been all that nice when they first met.

In fact, he even suspected her of being a thief.

Julian glanced at Jessie and ended up staring right into her large, clear eyes. She gave him a bright smile that glowed under the light, and his heart stirred once more.

It had been so long since he had last seen such a pure, untainted smile—a smile without any greed or ulterior motives. It was a clean, sweet smile that made his heart tremble.

“Let’s not stand around here. We can talk inside! Please come this way, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein.” Nigel invited them into the restaurant.

The group went up to the private dining room on the second floor and took their seats. When Maggie saw her two daughters sitting with a handsome young man each, she felt a longing in her heart.

How great it’d be if the two young men here today were my future sons-in-law!

With Nigel and Queenie around, the atmosphere remained light-hearted. When the topic landed on Jessie’s dreams for her future, her parents were fully supportive of whatever she wanted to do. It didn’t matter to them what their daughter pursued, as long as she was happy. Furthermore, they had even less to worry about once they heard that Julian’s family ran the most influential company in the entertainment industry.

“Don’t worry, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein. Jessie will have a brilliant career ahead of her with Julian around to help her out.”

Jessie was shy and nervous. She was afraid that this would only be a bother to Julian as she didn’t want to trouble him.

However, at that very moment, she heard someone say in a deep voice, “I will take good care of her.”

All at once, Jessie went from being a nameless stunt double to someone who was going to be under the care of Julian Gilmore himself!

Throughout dinner, everyone showered Jessie with their love and care. Her face steadily grew redder as the night went on. No one seemed to notice, save for one.

Julian noticed it all.

Everything Jessie did tonight looked so intriguing and adorable to Julian. Perhaps he felt a sense of accomplishment for being the one who found her.

Thus, he enjoyed observing her whenever he could. Jessie seemed to enjoy stealing peeks at him too, and whenever they locked eyes, she would blush even harder at having been caught glancing at him.

A mysterious undercurrent seemed to brew between the two, though no one else noticed it.

Once they were done with dinner, everyone started making their way back home.

Nigel only managed to steal a brief hug from Queenie when they went to the washroom. Now that dinner was over, he had to watch her leave in her father’s car without having the right to feel any sort of resentment.

Julian saw the way Nigel’s eyes trailed after the Silversteins’ car. He patted his friend on the shoulder and said, “Stop staring. Hurry up and marry her so that you won’t have to stare after her like that.”

“It’ll happen soon.” Nigel twirled his car keys and smirked confidently.

The two handsome young men climbed into the car and Nigel gave Julian a ride home. Along the way, Julian seemed to be lost in his thoughts as he didn’t make conversation with Nigel as he always did.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1634 Visiting the Orphanage

Nigel figured that he had to let the Silversteins reconnect with Jessie for a while before turning their attention to his and Queenie’s wedding.

At Silverstein Residence.

Brandon and Maggie decided to visit the orphanage Jessie had grown up in tomorrow and convey their deepest gratitude.

That night, as the two sisters lay in bed together, Jessie asked curiously about Queenie and Nigel’s relationship. As she listened to the stories, Julian’s face popped into her mind all of a sudden, and she nearly jumped out of bed in shock.

What am I thinking? Why do I feel hopeful about dating Julian? Have I gone mad? What on earth gave me the courage to even dream of that?

“Jessie? What’s on your mind?” Queenie saw the way Jessie’s eyes were seemingly wide with shock.

Jessie quickly smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I was just thinking that I’ll get to attend your wedding soon.”

Queenie’s eyes sparkled with joy. That’s right! Jessie’s back now, and once the whole family has gotten the chance to spend more time together, it’ll be time to start planning for my wedding.

A thought flashed across her mind and she propped her head up to ask, “Jessie, do you like Julian?”

Jessie immediately waved that off. “How could I? I wouldn’t dare to.”

“Jessie, if you like him, then just try and go after him. You won’t know unless you try. Maybe you might even succeed!” Queenie encouraged her sister to be bold in love.

Jessie blinked. “Queenie, right now, I think it’s just mostly admiration on my part. I’ve heard so much about him all this while. I think he’s incredible and very mysterious. He’s also very prominent, so even if he likes someone who hasn’t proven themselves yet, it still won’t work out.”

Queenie never thought that Jessie would be so clear-headed despite her young age, but she was right. There was a huge gap between them, and things would be hard for them if they were in a relationship.

“What’s your plan for the future, Jessie?”

“I plan on focusing on my career first before thinking about love. Plus, I’m satisfied that I have my family to support me and accompany me now.” Jessie wanted to focus on earning money so that she could help the orphanage more, and she also wanted to fulfill her dream of becoming an actress.

The next morning.

The Silversteins left for the orphanage with a car full of gifts.

The director of the orphanage, Flora Yancy, was a woman in her fifties, but due to her laborious job, she had graying hair and looked a decade older than Maggie despite being of similar ages.

When Flora heard that Jessie had found her family, she was genuinely happy for Jessie. Flora herself spent a lot of time trying to help the children at the orphanage reunite with their families, but it was hard for her to do it alone and she wasn’t well-connected either. Thus, a lot of children never managed to find their families.

“Jessie, since you’ve found your family, you should go home and spend more time with them. You can still drop by when you have time,” Flora advised.

Jessie’s eyes were teary as she nodded. “I will, Madam Yancy. I will come and visit all of you often. This is my second home and you’re my family too.”

“You’ve always been a wonderful child and so mature even when you were little. I never had to worry about you, and you even supported the orphanage financially just so the children could have a better life. We’re truly thankful for everything you’ve done,” Flora said as she held Jessie’s hands.

“It’s only right for me to give back to the orphanage,” Jessie replied as she wiped her tears away.

“Madam Flora, we want to donate 300,000 in funding to the orphanage every year, and you can also let us know whatever it is that you need help with. We will definitely do our best to help,” Maggie promised.

“I can’t thank you enough. You’re all wonderful people. It’s no wonder that Jessie turned out to be such a kind and lovely girl. She must’ve inherited it from her family!” Flora exclaimed with a smile. The funding the Silversteins were giving was enough to ensure that she could take good care of every child.

“Madam Yancy, we prepared a dinner party tonight to welcome Jessie back to the family and we would like to invite everyone in the orphanage to join us,” Maggie said.

Flora smiled. “You’re very kind, but there are too many children here and we can’t leave them. Please go ahead and enjoy yourselves.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1635 Is He Coming?

At the orphanage, Queenie helped out by handing out gifts to the children. Everyone felt a sense of affinity toward her as she looked exactly like Jessie. They saw her as a warm, friendly older sister.

The Silversteins stayed at the orphanage until 2.00PM and had lunch with the children. When Maggie saw the tiny room Jessie used growing up, she couldn’t stop her tears from flowing as her heart filled with indescribable pain.

Once the family got back to Silverstein Residence, Queenie ushered her parents upstairs to rest as they needed to host the dinner party tonight.

There were slightly over fifty guests coming to the party; all of Brandon’s business acquaintances had been invited, along with the Silversteins’ relatives. As it was held at the grand hall at the Mansons’ hotel, it was undoubtedly going to be a grand affair.

At approximately 4.00PM, a team of stylists came over to help the sisters prepare for the event tonight, in which Jessie’s last name was going to change from Landry to Silverstein officially. As for her official documentation, they had made the arrangements to change it tomorrow.

At last, the family of four had finally reunited.

Queenie gave Nigel a call in the privacy of her bedroom and reminded him, “Don’t forget to invite Julian.”

“Don’t worry! I already told him about it. He’ll be there.”

She didn’t tell Jessie about it just yet as she wanted to give Jessie a surprise. She knew that Jessie would be pleased if Julian came.

For tonight’s event, Jessie was wearing an exquisite-detailing, pale green dress that seemed light and airy. Although the silhouette was simple enough, the dress was full of intricate designs; the chest area of her dress was covered in tiny crystals, and the cut of her dress highlighted her slim waist and elegant curves. The stylist who did Jessie’s hair and makeup took inspiration from the dress and gave her a look that suited it perfectly.

Meanwhile, Queenie had chosen a white gown instead and wore her hair down with a pearl hair clip to give it an accent. She wouldn’t be taking the limelight away from Jessie, but she was nonetheless captivating.

At 5.30PM, the family left for the hotel.

Nigel had invited his parents as well, so the Manson couple and the Silverstein couple met up at the hotel beforehand. Both families were thrilled with the marriage of their child and had begun treating each other as in-laws as they got along swimmingly together.

Queenie’s phone started ringing. She was startled when she saw it was Leslie who was calling her. “Hi, Leslie. Why are you calling?”

“Queenie, I heard you have found your real sister and that you’re throwing her a dinner party tonight. Can I come too?” Leslie requested.

“Sorry, Leslie, but it’s better if you don’t,” she rejected.

“Please, Queenie. Let me come and see your sister!” He was still eager to join the dinner party.

However, she was firm about it. “You’re not invited. Goodbye.”

She hung up at once. She and Leslie couldn’t even be friends anymore. There was no way she’d invite him to the dinner party.

The dinner party was about to start, and most of the guests had arrived. Jessie left the lounge and started making her way over to the hall. Along the way, she heard several people greeting her.

“Good evening, Miss Silverstein.”

Jessie assumed that they thought she was her sister, so she went along with it and smiled politely in response. Looks like most people won’t be able to tell us apart. They’ll probably keep mixing us up tonight.

She came to the hall and stood by a pillar at the side as she surveyed the crowd in anticipation of someone’s arrival.

Although Julian had promised her parents last night that he would be coming, she wasn’t sure he would. He’s a busy man. Maybe he won’t find the time to come.

Therefore, as Jessie wasn’t sure whether he could make it, it made her anticipate his presence even more.

However, after sweeping through the crowd, she didn’t see any sign of him. She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Right at that moment, a deep voice called out behind her, “Who are you looking for, Miss Jessie Silverstein?”

It was a magnetic, attractive voice.

Who else could it be, apart from Julian?

Jessie stiffened in shock as she quickly wiped all traces of disappointment off her face and did her best to contain her joy. She turned to face the man behind her with a polite smile.

“I’m looking for Queenie!” she answered. Well, I couldn’t possibly tell him that I was looking for him.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1636 A Successful Fan

“Queenie’s with Nigel.” Julian glanced over at the couple to point them out to Jessie.

She nodded at once. “Oh! I see her. Thanks.”

He stood there with a glass of wine in his hand, his eyes staring straight at her. The chandelier above them reflected in his eyes and made them sparkle like the stars in galaxies.

What a pair of bewitching eyes. Jessie had felt pretty confident about herself thanks to her makeover, but she quickly lost it all under his gaze. She was afraid that he wouldn’t find her attractive.

However, to her absolute surprise, Julian commented, “You look very beautiful tonight.”

She became bashful at his praise and returned him a compliment as well. “You look very handsome too, Mr. Gilmore!”

“Don’t call me Mr. Gilmore. You can just call me Julian.”

“Okay!” Jessie nodded in agreement. She didn’t mind the new way of addressing him at all.

Just then, two young women came over. “Oh my goodness! It’s Julian Gilmore!”

The two young women were thrilled! They never thought they’d run into their celebrity crush while attending a dinner party with their parents. It was such a surprise to see him at the event.

These two young women were Jessie’s cousins, who were distant relatives of the Silversteins, and at this very moment, no one could miss just how ecstatic they were.

Jessie stepped aside and allowed the two fans to talk to Julian upon noticing that.

Since they were related to the family, she wanted to let them have a good time tonight.

However, Julian was a little annoyed by the two young women’s exuberance. He raised his hand and addressed them politely, “Please excuse me. I have something to discuss with Miss Silverstein.”

Then, he came over to Jessie and took her by the hand before ushering her off with him. She was stunned, and her cheeks were aflame as she stared disbelievingly at their entwined hands.

He led her to a private lounge. Once he closed the door behind them, he sighed. “This is why I don’t like going out much. The fans are too noisy.”

“What about me? Do you find me noisy too?” Jessie teased as she recalled joining his fans in welcoming him at the airport some time ago.

Julian cocked his eyebrows. “Are you a fan of mine?”

“Yeah, I’m your fan.” She nodded in all seriousness. Although she wasn’t one of the more passionate fans, he was the only young actor she admired in the industry, apart from all the older, more experienced actors.

He smiled. “Tell me what it feels like to succeed as a fan, then!”

She chuckled. “It’s amazing. I get to eat dinner and have a conversation with my favorite celebrity. It’s like a dream come true.”

“Alright, alright. You should go back to your guests,” he said. He didn’t want to take up all of her time tonight. She was the star of the show, after all.

Jessie nodded and went off. Now that he was here, she no longer felt disappointed.

Julian’s phone started ringing then. “Hello?”

“Julian, Eva Duncan’s schedule is full, so the production team has decided to find someone else to play the female lead. Do you have anyone you want to recommend?” It was a call from Marlon Warner, who was part of the production team for his latest filming project.

Julian’s eyes flickered in thought for a moment before his lips curved into a smile. “Hold off on selecting someone for the female lead first.”

“Why? Do you have someone to recommend? Tell me who it is! I’ll check and see if she’s available.”

“I know she’s available.”

“How can you be sure? We have only just decided to change the actress!”

“Either way, I’ll handle filling the role of the female lead. You guys can continue with the pre-production preparations,” Julian drawled.

“Alright! We’re looking forward to seeing whom you’ve chosen for the female lead. I’m sure you won’t let us down!”

Julian’s eyes flickered in amusement. No, you’ll all be disappointed, but it doesn’t matter as long as I’m not disappointed.

At this very moment, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar as many actresses heard the news and wanted to take the role of the leading lady opposite Julian. However, they were not going to get their chance.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1637 Julian’s Gift

Julian had chosen his leading lady—Jessie, who had yet to make her debut.

Once all the guests arrived, the first item on the agenda was Brandon’s announcement that his youngest daughter had been found. Jessie went up on stage accompanied by her older sister, and the guests were shocked by the sight of the happily reunited family.

Everyone in the crowd was thinking the same thing. They’re twins, alright! They look exactly the same.

Many of the young men in the crowd were beginning to get ideas. The Silversteins’ fortune was going to go to the two sisters in the future, so if they became the Silversteins’ son-in-law, they would get to take possession of half of the family’s fortune!

Nigel and Julian were leaning against a pillar by the stage. They each had a glass of wine in their hands as they gazed at the pair of gorgeous young women up on the stage. Then, Nigel’s sharp hearing picked up on the words coming from a young man. “Wow! I think the elder Miss Silverstein has inherited the company. I’m sure I can easily sign a deal with Silverstein Enterprise if I manage to woo her.”

Nigel smirked at that. He walked over to that man and tapped him on the shoulder. The man was startled and turned around to see a tall, handsome man behind him. “Yes?”

“I’m just here to give you a friendly reminder. The elder Miss Silverstein is my fiancée. You’ll have to be careful if you try to get any ideas about her.” Nigel’s sharp gaze paired well with his warning tone.

The man started apologizing awkwardly, “I’m so sorry. I was just blabbing. I didn’t mean any of it.”

With that, he quickly fled with his friends.

It was hard for the guests to tell the two young women on stage apart, but for those who took the time to understand them, it wasn’t hard at all.

Nigel and Julian could both easily tell them apart with just one look.

With the crowd acting as the witnesses to Jessie’s return to the family, the Silversteins shared a group hug, and the crowd rang out in applause at the sight of the heart-warming family reunion.

Jessie’s eyes were red as she hugged her mother close. Brandon patted her on the shoulder, whereas Queenie reached out to hug her sister as well.

“Dig in, everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful time tonight!” Brandon addressed the crowd cheerfully.

Applause thundered out once more, and soon, the guests started coming over to congratulate the Silverstein couple. The Manson couple was among them. As future in-laws, they were genuinely happy for the Silversteins too.

Queenie brought Jessie over to the two men, who were still standing by the pillar. Jessie was a little red-faced as she glanced at Julian.

“I have a gift for you, Miss Jessie Silverstein,” Julian declared.

She blinked. “That’s not necessary at all, Mr. Gilmore. I’m already honored that you came. I can’t accept a gift from you.”

“No, you must accept this gift,” he insisted.

Nigel and Queenie were both waiting to see what the gift was. Jessie was a little embarrassed. “What do you wish to give me, Mr. Gilmore?”

“Eva Duncan isn’t free to play the female lead in my upcoming drama. The production team wants me to recommend someone. I’m recommending you.”

“What?!” Jessie was dumbstruck and covered her mouth in shock. Me?!

He wants me to play the female lead in his upcoming drama? How can I possibly do that?! This gift is too much.

“Jessie, don’t let his kindness go to waste. I’m sure you can do a great job,” Nigel said.

“That’s right, Jessie. You have all of us supporting you. I’m sure you’ll become a successful actress with Julian helping you with your debut.” Queenie was pleased on Jessie’s behalf. Seems to me that Julian really is taking good care of Jessie! This was great news to her as she hoped that Jessie would get together with Julian in the future.

Jessie was red from all her excitement. She glanced at Queenie before turning to Julian and said gratefully, “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Gilmore. I won’t let you down.”

“Jessie, why don’t you toast Julian?” Queenie suggested with a smile.

Jessie quickly took a glass of red wine from the server and said bashfully, “Here’s a toast to you, Mr. Gilmore.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1638 Tipsy

Julian raised his glass and tapped it against Jessie’s. As soon as she finished the glass, Maggie came over to get her. She wanted to introduce Jessie to the guests. Queenie and Nigel went over to the restaurant, and a few more young women quickly crowded around Julian. Even a few older ladies came over to ask if he was married. They were keen to introduce their daughters to him!

He was somewhat exasperated, but he remained pleasant and amiable the whole time.

At the restaurant, Nigel and Queenie sat down at a table after filling their plates. As they took in the view of the night sky, Queenie exhaled in joy. “We’ve finally reunited.”

“That means we have time to consider our future now.” Nigel stared at her with his dark, affectionate eyes.

She looked back at him a little guiltily. Amid all the commotion of finding her sister, she ended up neglecting him a fair bit. She nodded and agreed, “Yeah! I’ll bring it up with my parents.”

“I’ll bring my parents to your house three days later to formally ask for your hand in marriage,” he informed her of his plan.

Queenie’s cheeks grew a little warm as she nodded shyly. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, back at the grand hall, Jessie followed her parents around as they introduced her to everyone. The guests were very warm and welcoming, and she ended up drinking a lot each time they toasted her, leaving her feeling rather tipsy.

At last, while her parents were caught up in conversation with a few other guests, she made her escape. She wanted to look for Queenie but couldn’t find her anywhere. Jessie felt a little light-headed and decided to take a seat. One of the young men, who wanted to approach her, immediately seized this chance to come over.

“Are you alright, Miss Silverstein? Allow me to take you to the lounge to rest.”

“It’s alright. I’m fine, thank you,” she declined politely.

“But, you seem drunk to me. Are you sure you’re alright?” The young man didn’t want to miss this opportunity. Since she was drunk, it was the perfect time for him to make a good impression!

Jessie wanted to walk away, but as soon as she tried to take a step, her head became woozy, and she fell back down onto the chair. The man reached out to hold her steady.

At the same time, a man’s voice rang out. “I’ll take care of Miss Silverstein.”

The man turned around to see who was trying to steal this opportunity from him, but the moment he saw who it was, he deflated at once. Julian was not only an award-winning actor, but he was someone with a mysterious family background. Most people dared not offend him.

In the end, that young man left sheepishly. Jessie raised her head to look at Julian. Her face seemed to glow under the light. It made her look even more beautiful than before.

“Why did you drink so much? No one’s forcing you.” He sat down beside her and poured her a cup of tea.

She took the cup and smiled. “I’m happy today. It’s fine if I drink a bit more than usual. I don’t have a very good tolerance for alcohol, though.”

Her tipsiness seemed to embolden her as she asked, “Can I really play the part of your female lead? Will the producers and the director approve of me? Won’t I end up ruining your show?”

“It’ll be fine. I believe you’ll do a good job,” Julian assured her.

“But I don’t have any real experience when it comes to acting, apart from being a stunt double for several years. Although I do enjoy acting, I never learned it properly and I don’t have experience. I’m afraid I’ll ruin your show.” The alcohol gave Jessie the courage to share her innermost thoughts with Julian.

She genuinely liked him and admired him. Thus, she didn’t want to trouble him. She wanted to help him stay as perfect as he was.

Julian had seen a lot of actresses who were willing to go to extreme lengths just to get the parts they wanted. It was his first time meeting someone like Jessie, who showed consideration for someone else instead. It was a rare quality in the entertainment industry. She was truly a kind-hearted soul.

“Don’t worry about all that, Jessie. Just follow my lead. I will teach you anything you need to know about acting,” he promised sincerely as he tried to reassure her.

Jessie stared at him with hazy eyes before nodding and agreeing obediently, “Okay. I will do my best to learn acting from you.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1639 Really Drunk

“Have some tea.” Julian poured her a cup of tea.

Jessie drank it and asked, “Mr. Gilmore, why do you do so much for me?”

He fell into deep thought upon hearing that question. In all honesty, I’m not so sure about that as well. Is it because you’re Queenie’s sister and that she’s my best friend’s fiancée? Is that why I care about you so much? “What? Are you complaining about it? Do you really have to ask for a reason?” He evaded her question as he had no answer for it.

“I guess not. Don’t mind me. That was a stupid question. I should be happy that someone is nice to me.” She beamed giddily. It was evident that she had gotten really drunk.

“I should see my dad and mom now.” She pushed herself up and tried to leave. I can walk, no problem. However, walking when she was drunk felt like stepping on clouds. She had only taken a few steps before losing her balance and falling right into Julian’s arms.

He quickly placed his arm around her waist and helped her back to her seat. “Don’t go around. Stay here.”

Jessie was cute when she was drunk. She patted her cheeks, her eyes telling a hundred stories at the same time. Then, she huddled closer. “Mr. Gilmore, can I ask you something? It’s private, but I promise it’s just a question. I won’t tell anyone.”

“What is it?”

“Are you dating Eva? Is she your girlfriend?” she asked curiously. The only one who was rumored to be dating him was Eva, the actress he had worked with many times. Jessie wanted to know if they were dating for real.

“Is that important to you?” Julian narrowed his eyes.

She chuckled. “Not really. Just wanna know. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

“No, we are not dating. Eva and I are only partners,” he answered seriously.

Jessie blinked. Oh, he denies it. That means it’s merely a rumor. He’s still single.

Right then, Brandon and Maggie approached them. The old couple felt for Jessie seeing her getting this drunk, though they were also amused. Lots of people had raised a toast to her earlier, and she had no idea how to deal with them, so as a result, she had a bit too much to drink.

“Where’s Queenie? I don’t see her anywhere. She could’ve helped Jessie upstairs,” Brandon said.

They still had to entertain many guests, so they couldn’t leave. Just then, Jessie stood up. “Don’t worry about me, Dad, Mom. I can go upstairs by myself.”

“No. You are drunk. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

She then turned around to look at the man by her side. “Can you take me to my room, Mr. Gilmore?”

The Silversteins felt a little awkward. She’s really drunk. She’s actually asking Julian to take her to her room. That’s inappropriate.

Julian was awkward as well. This wasn’t something he should do. After all, he was a guy, and she was a girl, not to mention a drunk one. There was no way he would say yes, not when her parents were around.

However, Maggie smiled. “We’re counting on you, then. Queenie’s not here, and we can’t leave. So, we’ll leave her in your hands.”

Bewildered, Brandon looked at his wife, but Maggie shot him a look. Hey, I want him to marry Jessie. Let him do something for her, alright?

The husband immediately caught onto her intention, and he patted Julian’s shoulder. “We’re counting on you, Julian.”

Well, if they’re trusting me so much, I guess I have to do this. Julian nodded. “Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein. I’ll take care of her.”

“Go on. There are too many people here. She should get some rest.”

With that, the Silverstein couple left. As soon as Jessie stood up, Julian offered his arm for her to steady herself. She held it as he led her to the lobby.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1640 To School

After he checked into the hotel, Julian took a keycard and went to the elevator.

Jessie was getting dizzier in the elevator and rested her head on Julian’s shoulder. He looked down and saw her full, luscious lips. For some reason, it aroused him a little.

He turned away his gaze from her tempting lips to regain focus, and the elevator door swung open soon after. Though, he realized the girl beside him couldn’t even be bothered to walk anymore.

“My head is spinning,” she muttered.

Julian had no choice but to pick her up; holding her up was a hassle but carrying her was not.

Jessie kept her weight under control, thanks to her job. And she was a dancer, too. Julian thought she felt light and soft as he carried her in his arms.

Once they reached their room, he opened the door and put her on the bed. Jessie still had her arms wrapped around his neck as he laid her down, so he ended up getting pulled toward her. Her face was only millimeters away from his. They were so close to each other that he could even hear her breathing. “Miss Silverstein, let go,” he whispered.

“Oh!” Jessie let go of him quickly upon realizing she was still hugging his neck.

While Julian felt his heart racing a mile, the drunken lady didn’t think much of the incident that transpired just now and fell asleep soon after.

Julian stayed with her in case anything was to happen.

Meanwhile, Nigel and Queenie were on the top floor enjoying the view, or rather, they were making out. Kissing their lover under the starry sky was the most memorable thing that ever happened to them.

As they were getting lovey-dovey with each other, Queenie received a call from her parents and felt rather embarrassed for a few moments. Then, she and Nigel headed for the elevator.

Nigel called Julian and asked him where Jessie was. After a short while, they showed up in the room.

After getting drunk, all Jessie wanted to do was sleep. Even with Julian beside her, she didn’t wake up at all. Though, she would have felt embarrassed if she did.

Queenie stayed back to keep an eye on her while the gentlemen left. The Silversteins stayed at the hotel for the night, with the parents sharing a room while Queenie and Jessie shared another.

Morning came, and Jessie woke up with a little hangover. Queenie, who was lying on the bed beside her, sat up and asked, “How do you feel, Jessie?”

“Queenie, how did I get here?” She had forgotten what had happened last night.

Queenie smirked teasingly. “Think long and hard. Someone took you back here.”

“Was it you?”

She shook her head. “No. Think harder.”

Jessie blinked and tilted her head. She then remembered hugging Julian’s neck, and it made her blush. That piece of memory made her remember everything that had happened, and she was overcome by mortification. I can’t believe I did that in front of Julian.

The Silversteins had lunch at the hotel and went back home after that.

Jessie’s room was refurbished. Julian called her that afternoon, telling her he had registered her for the performance class at Averna University’s School of Performance Arts. The class would last for a week. He wanted her to build up some basics for her debut.

Jessie was touched by what he did for her. She promised she would study hard and not let him down.

Brandon felt healthier than ever after finding his missing daughter. He returned to the company and told Queenie to spend some time handling her wedding.

The next morning, Queenie took Jessie to school. She had to stay there for a whole day, so Queenie went to see Nigel. They were deeply in love. Not seeing each other for an hour felt like an eternity.

Jessie reported for class. Thanks to Julian’s arrangement, she had made it to the classroom without a hitch.
