Ch. 1721..1730
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1721 Louie Tore the Letter
A group of photos of Jessie staying with the crew had been revealed to the netizens on social media. She was bathing under the sun with her long hair down, and she looked otherworldly. Her fans immediately complimented her looks and compared her to a goddess. Besides, the set of photos was even getting viral among non-fans.
Furthermore, the pictures were now trending on Twitter. Even without proper publicity about her personality, Jessie emitted warmth through the pictures.
She also received good news from Queenie recently. As August was fast approaching, Queenie’s wedding was also around the corner. Jessie was looking forward to the invitation to Queenie’s wedding.
She returned to her room after a long day, and Julian reached out a hand to caress her head. “Get some rest. Don’t stay up late.”
“I won’t,” she promised.
He recalled Louie showing up at the set again, but he didn’t bother to seek his brother out. Julian didn’t want to become the third wheel between Louie and Eva since Louie had been pouring his attention on her the whole time lately.
After all, Louie didn’t visit the set for Julian. Even though he was Louie’s brother, Julian himself was a nobody compared to Eva.
Meanwhile, in a presidential suite, Louie and Eva shared an intimate night. In the morning, the lights in the room shone on her ivory skin. Hickeys could be seen all over her shoulders, which were made by Louie last night.
She was still asleep while the man had already gotten up from bed. He walked out of the bedroom and sat on the sofa. When his gaze landed on the contract termination letter on the coffee table, he grabbed it and tore the contract apart the next second.
He did it without hesitation because he regretted his choices. Louie would never allow Eva to leave him as he was determined to be responsible for her.
Little did Eva know, her companionship for Louie last night would end up becoming nothing.
After that, he slid back into the bed and embraced her in his arms with satisfaction before he fell into slumber. It was noon when Eva woke up, and the sun hung in the middle of the sky. At first, she noticed the strong arm she slept on last night, and she then turned to the side involuntarily. She was met by Louie’s handsome face, which was bathing under the sunlight.
When she saw his face, she couldn’t help but replay their intimacy last night in her mind. With a flushed face, she fluttered her eyes shut as she suppressed the thoughts.
Sighing in resignation, Eva decided to leave before he woke up. She slid down the bed in light movements and stood on the ground like a cat without making any noise.
She put on her shirt while heading for the sofa outside, and found her phone as expected. Then, she steered her gaze to the spot where she put the letter last night, thinking to take it along. However, she didn’t find it there.
Where’s the contract? I put it over there last night.
Eva immediately searched for the document on the sofa. However, she suddenly noticed scraps of paper in the bin. She didn’t think twice before she walked over and reached out for them. It was exactly the termination letter she was looking for, but it was voided since someone tore them apart.
Eva’s chest heaved in anger. At the same time, Louie’s low voice grabbed her attention from behind. “I’m not letting you go.”
She turned to the man who was leaning against the door frame and glared at him. “Louie Gilmore! H-How can you not keep your word?!”
“You’re right, but I don’t mind becoming a jerk who doesn’t keep his promise if it means you’ll stay.” He didn’t back down from the confrontation as his eyes shone with determination.
“Don’t make me hate you.” Eva was furious at his behavior. After all, she sacrificed her virginity to earn her freedom. She couldn’t possibly stay calm after learning that he broke his promise.
“Even if you hate me, I won’t let you go.” He walked over to her and pulled her into his embrace. “After last night, I’ve decided that you’re important to me, and I’ll do anything for you.”
“You—” His sincere words put Eva’s head in a mess. After all, she also tasted pleasure like never before with him last night.
“Stay with me. I want you to become Mrs. Gilmore, the wife of the president of Stardom Entertainment. Will you accept that?” Louie was promising her the titles. He felt like it was time for him to settle down with the woman he loved.
Eva sighed at that. It was the most important decision she was about to make in her life, but she had no idea whether to accept or decline it.
Ever since she encountered many kinds of people in showbiz, she became pessimistic about true love and no longer looked forward to it. After all, there were many examples of true lovers ending up in a mess and breaking up with each other.
After a moment of pondering, she rejected him. “I don’t want the title of Mrs. Gilmore. You can give it to somebody else.”
“But I want nobody but you to own the title.” Louie rested his chin on her shoulder as he murmured, “You’re the one I want.”
“I’m exhausted. I’m going back to my room. You can pass me the new termination letter.” With that, Eva struggled out of his embrace and strode for the door.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1722 Eva’s Scandal Became the Headline
Eva left without turning her head. At that point, Louie was in turmoil and he started to panic deep down.
At that moment, his phone rang and steered his attention away. Grabbing his phone, he looked at the caller ID for a moment before answering it. “Hello.”
“Hi, Louie. How have you been lately? It’s been a while since I last saw you.” “Mr. Constantine.”
“I’ll cut to the chase. I want to talk about the alliance marriage between our families. Are you free to talk about it sometime?”
“Mr. Constantine, I don’t think I can marry your daughter without any emotional foundation.”
“Louie, my daughter admires you. Back then, I lent your parents one hundred million in return for the marriage between you and my daughter. Even though your parents have passed away, we should still continue with the marriage.”
Today, the Gilmore Family was the leading company in the industry with an immeasurable net worth, while the Constantine Family had gradually declined over the years. Thus, the Constantine Family would grasp the opportunity to unite two families. They would never let their chance to climb the social ladder slip away from them.
“Mr. Constantine, we’ll discuss it later.”
“Sure. Why don’t you come over so we can meet up? Your father was a man who kept his promises, so surely you’ve inherited the trait from him.”
At that, Louie kept his composure as he answered, “Alright. I’ll arrange the meeting.”
Meanwhile, Eva was resting in her room but was surprised to see the hotel staff bringing her breakfast. It seemed that Louie was worried about her and had called room service for her.
Then, she remembered spending the last night with him, and she knew she needed contraceptive pills. As she didn’t want her assistant to help her deliver the pills, she decided to buy them by herself.
She went downstairs after disguising herself for the pharmacy next to the hotel. She didn’t notice the presence of the paparazzi who were following her when she walked into the pharmacy. Therefore, not only was the sight of her picking up the pills captured by the paparazzi but the packaging of the pills she picked up was also captured by the camera.
The realization of the top celebrity from Stardom Entertainment buying contraceptive pills in the early morning was setting the paparazzi abuzz for witnessing the breaking news.
On the other hand, Eva strode away from the pharmacy and returned to the hotel without slowing down, while the paparazzi reached out to the mass media and sold them the news.
The media was always fishing for her scandal because her name alone would bring them a high volume of data traffic.
In less than half an hour, her scandal was already making the headlines. All the netizens learned that she spent her time with a man last night.
They were more curious about the man’s identity because he didn’t even use protection.
Countless male fans of Eva were envious of the man who slept with her.
Meanwhile, on set, Jessie took the time to finish shooting a scene in the early morning. After that, she headed for the empty seat next to Lexie for a rest. Lexie was whispering to another girl on the side the whole time, which piqued Jessie’s curiosity. “What are you talking about?”
“Jessie, do you know who the man who stayed the night with Eva was?” Lexie was itching to learn the full story from her.
Jessie was confused to hear that. “What man?”
Lexie didn’t waste any time showing her the headline. “Look at this. Eva bought the pills by herself this morning. I pity her!”
Jessie took her time to read the article before the corner of her lips turned into a knowing smile. Who else could it be other than Louie? Julian had told Jessie about Louie visiting the set when the two were in the car last night. It seems like Julian can expect a sister-in-law soon.
“Hmm… I don’t know anything about that.” Jessie shook her head. She wasn’t in the position to spread baseless rumors. Eva herself was the only person who had a say in this matter.
“Did Eva come to the set today?”
“Nope. She’s taking a day off,” Lexie answered.
Jessie was glad to hear that. It seems like Eva has moved on and is now seeing President Gilmore.
Meanwhile, in the hotel, Eva finally saw the news and she couldn’t sit still. She saw herself as a usually calm woman, but the news was quite disturbing. What bad timing! Why does it have to be when I bought the pills?
At that moment, someone rang the doorbell of her room. Looking through the peephole, she found that it was Louie, who was staying next door.
She pulled the door open for him but couldn’t help it when the blood rushed to her face. “Are you here to offer me the new termination letter?”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1723 Announcing His True Identity to the Public
“Why didn’t you ask me to buy the pills?” Louie sighed upon seeing her. He felt bad to see her being followed by the paparazzi and became the headline of the day. Eva averted her gaze. “It’s none of your business.”
Then, as she remembered something, she shifted her attention back to him. “It’s been trending on Twitter for a few hours. What is the Public Relations Department doing? When are they going to deal with it?”
A dark smile remained on the corner of his lips. “Their performance has been poor lately.”
Truth be told, it had nothing to do with the Public Relations Department, even less that they were doing their job poorly. Instead, Louie was the one who ordered the department to let the news stay trending. After all, Stardom Entertainment would always deal with their artists’ scandals the first time.
Moreover, Eva was the top celebrity in the company.
However, the news of Eva buying the pills remained in the headlines until now. Even her fans couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of the man staying with her last night.
She was always an abstained woman and was considered the most flawless celebrity in their circle. But now, the fact she had to buy the birth control pills was telling the public that she was seeing a guy at the moment, yet his identity remained a mystery.
“Don’t be mad. Let’s go downstairs and grab something to eat,” Louie suggested.
His words indeed reminded Eva that she was bored alone in the room. Nodding, she left her room and followed him downstairs. There was a well-known cafe downstairs, and they were having tea there.
She picked a seat next to the window, while he took a seat opposite her and used his phone to take a picture of her leaning against the window. He uploaded the picture to his social media account with captions before screenshotting it and sending it to the Public Relations Department.
At last, he ordered, ‘Make it a push message to the public.’
Eva had no idea of him setting her up, nor him announcing that he stayed with her last night to the public himself.
“Don’t ever eat the pills in the future. It’s harmful to your health. That was careless of me last night.” Louie muttered guiltily.
His words left Eva flushing to the tip of her ears. She tightened her grasp around her cup of tea. “Let’s not talk about what happened last night.”
“Why? Did I make you uncomfortable?” He was eager to know her feelings.
Blushing as red as a tomato, she shot daggers at him as she mumbled, “Stop it.”
A low chuckle escaped Louie when he heard that. “I am very satisfied with last night.”
Eva turned away from his intense gaze. The memory of the moment they shared last night emerged in her mind. Truth be told, she thought it would be nice to have him as a lover.
Louie was the dream guy of every woman. He was handsome, fit, wealthy, and competent, which was a perfect combination.
The pair enjoyed the tea for almost twenty minutes, and Eva had no idea that she had unintentionally set the netizens abuzz.
The identity of the mysterious man last night was finally revealed. He wasn’t any of the male artists who had collaborated with Eva before as her fans expected, but Louie Gilmore, the president of Stardom Entertainment himself. The picture of them having afternoon tea together was hard evidence that they spent last night together.
Therefore, thousands of wishes flooded the comment section. All of her fans were wishing them a happy life.
Besides, the fans were hoping that they could have a baby soon.
Louie was browsing through the wishes and comments from Eva’s fans under a short video. Taking the countless blessings in, the corner of his lips curled into a satisfied smile.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw that. “What are you smiling about?”
“Eva, will you be my girlfriend?” He confessed his feelings with full affection.
She lowered her gaze. “Don’t ever think I’ll become your girlfriend just because you slept with me. You still owe me a termination contract.”
“I want to be responsible to you for the rest of your life. Once you become the president’s wife, you can terminate the contract however you want.” Louie chuckled deeply, but Eva dismissed his suggestion. “I’m not interested in becoming your wife.”
“It will never be anyone else. Don’t tell me you want me to choose someone else.” He slightly raised his brows to tease her while he stared at her with an unfathomable gaze.
She shied away from his gaze. After last night, she was surprised to see many things spinning out of her control. One of them included him occupying a significant spot in her heart.
At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing that her manager was calling, she put it next to her ear and answered, “Adele? What is it?”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1724 Declaring Their Relationship
“Why didn’t you tell me about something so important, Eva? I had to learn about it from the Internet. You are so unkind!” “What are you talking about?” Eva was perplexed.
“I’m talking about your relationship with President Gilmore! Looks like I have to prepare a lavish gift for your wedding now.”
When Eva heard that, she quickly looked at the man in front of her. Standing up, she said quietly, “Nothing is going on between the both of us, Adele.”
Adele, however, sneered at that. “The fact that you both slept together last night has gone viral on the Internet. You can’t keep it a secret from me!” Eva was shaken by this. “What? Who said I slept with him—”
“Didn’t you buy the pills this morning because you slept with him the night before?”
“I…” “President Gilmore paid a visit to your set. Who else can you be with besides him? He even filmed you having afternoon tea with him. You can’t deny it any longer! What good taste you have. President Gilmore is a good catch!” Adele complimented.
Annoyance flashed across Eva’s eyes when she heard that. So, this man deliberately asked me for afternoon tea to publicize our relationship. I underestimated him! Looks like it’s no surprise that his public relations department is not doing anything to my rumor. He is most likely the one who instructed them not to!
With this in mind, Eva hung up the call with Adele and walked over to the table where the man was sitting. Then, with her gaze fixed on him, she asked, “Did you declare our relationship on the Internet?”
“I have to let your supporters know the man last night was me, so they don’t have to waste their time guessing who that man was,” Louie replied as if he was truly concerned for Eva’s supporters.
“You… You did it on purpose!” Eva scolded him gently. “I will do anything for you,” Louie responded in a serious tone. That made Eva’s heart skips a beat as she began to wonder whether she was worthy of his love.
Later in the afternoon, Jessie finally went to the same set as Julian. After applying her makeup, she sat by the corner and watched Julian’s outstanding performance. His fighting moves were all clean and tidy, and the director approved them all on the first take.
Admiration filled her eyes as she watched Julian. Her feelings for him seemed to develop so naturally.
When Julian finished his scene and was about to rest, he took a glass of water and walked over to Jessie. After he took his sip, Jessie extended her hand to him. “I’d like to drink as well.”
Julian naturally handed her the glass, and she, too, drank it in front of everyone. They then walked over to the chairs nearby to rest while the crew prepared the props.
At this moment, Jessie couldn’t help but curiously inquire, “Have you read about Eva’s news?”
“What news?” Julian narrowed his eyes and asked.
Jessie, however, was a little embarrassed to say it. Hence, she scrolled through her phone to look for Eva’s news before handing her phone to Julian. “This.”
Julian took her phone and read the news, a smile spreading across his face. “My brother appears to have found me a sister-in-law.”
Jessie was surprised to hear that. “How did you know the man is your brother? I haven’t shown you your brother’s news yet!”
“Isn’t that obvious enough?” Julian was aware of what was going on. Louie had been eyeing Eva for a long time, and Eva had no other friends of the opposite gender around her as well.
Furthermore, Louie came to get her last night.
Jessie then quickly showed Julian another piece of information. “Louie posted this photo of Eva having afternoon tea. That clearly shows that the man with Eva was him.”
As Julian read the news, he found Louie hilarious. No matter how mature Louie normally was, he was still a childish guy when it came to courting a woman. To Julian, Louie did make a clever move by publicly declaring his relationship with Eva on the Internet, so that everyone was aware of it.
But it remained unknown as to whether Eva would approve of him doing so.
“Shall we treat them to dinner tonight?” Julian asked Jessie.
The dinner didn’t matter to her; all she heard and remembered was Julian using the word ‘we’.
Is that to say we’re a couple as well? Jessie couldn’t help but feel joyous deep down.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1725 She Cried
At this point, one of the crew members called out, “Jessie, it’s your turn.” Jessie quickly stood up and went to film her scene. Julian, too, stood up with her. Though he did not have any scenes with her yet, he wanted to watch all of her scenes.
The current scene Jessie was filming was with Fabian. Furthermore, it was a scene in which Jessie had to hug Fabian from behind and confess her love to him.
Fabian had previously conversed and joked with Jessie, but he did not dare to do so now. However, the current scene was not something they could avoid.
Following the director, Vincent’s, instruction, Jessie dashed to Fabian and hugged his waist as she spoke her lines. “Don’t leave me. I’ve loved you since the first time I met you. I want to be by your side forever, even if only as a servant to you.”
“Cut!” Vincent stopped her at this moment. “Jessie, you need to be more emotional. Your acting is lacking something.”
Jessie breathed deeply and took a few steps backward to where she had been standing earlier. One of the crew members beside her began explaining the story to her while she tried hard to prepare the necessary emotion.
“If you can’t cry, think of something that makes you sad, Jessie.”
She blinked her eyes in response. There hasn’t been anything that has made me sad recently!
As a result, she failed her next attempt again. The man standing by the side pursed his lips as he watched her hugging Fabian repeatedly.
He then walked to Vincent. Just as Vincent was about to instruct Jessie to try a few more times, he saw the man standing next to him and almost jumped in shock.
“Why can’t all of the previous attempts be used?” Julian inquired with his arms crossed as if interrogating Vincent.
Meanwhile, Vincent was immediately under pressure. Who allowed this guy to watch our filming?
As such, he quickly waved his hand and said, “We probably only need one more try.”
Jessie, too, saw what Julian did and sighed. She wished she could do the scene in one take as well, but she couldn’t get the right emotion out of herself. Her confession, in particular, was unnatural.
She tried once again, but she still couldn’t perform up to Vincent’s expectations.
Looking at the man beside him who was becoming increasingly glum, Vincent had a brilliant idea. “Why don’t you try filling in for Fabian, Young Master Julian? Let Jessie hug you and try once more.”
Julian raised his brows in response to such a suggestion. “Let’s do it.”
With that, Fabian immediately removed his coat and handed it to Julian, and the crew then put it on the latter. As the current scene’s focus was solely on Jessie, Julian would not be filmed and could completely play along for the entire scene.
Jessie, on the other hand, was embarrassed by such a change in the cast as she had to hug Julian and confess to him with her eyes filled with admiration.
“Let’s try again, Jessie,” Vincent instructed.
Jessie quickly prepared herself and dashed to hug Julian’s waist. Indeed, the moment she hugged him was when she was overwhelmed with emotion. She was considering the possibility that the man whom she was hugging would fall in love with another woman.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she reflected on this thought. “This is the right feeling, Jessie,” Vincent said as he looked through the camera at her. “Keep it up and start your lines.”
Jessie then recited her lines completely, and she even sobbed at times. This was exactly what Vincent wanted.
“Great. We’re done with this scene now.”
Before Jessie could stop her tears, Julian turned around to look at her. She wiped her tears away in a fluster, embarrassed by her inability to control her emotions.
“What sad thoughts did you have?” Julian went closer to her and inquired.
Jessie, however, was too embarrassed to tell him what she thought. Hence, she replied patronizingly, “It’s just a small unpleasant thing.”
Julian got more curious after hearing her words. “What is the unpleasant thing?”
Seeing that he persisted, she asked solemnly, “Do you really want to know?”
“Yes.” Julian knew she must be genuinely upset for her tears to fall when she thought about the situation.
And so, Jessie murmured, “Come closer, then.”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1726 Walking into His Trap
Julian quickly lowered his body and moved his ear closer to her lips. With that, Jessie decided to be honest with him. “I was considering what I should do if you unexpectedly fall in love with someone else,” she explained.
That made Julian’s heart ache a little. Ignoring the fact that there were crew members nearby, he drew her into his embrace and exclaimed, “What nonsense are you thinking of?”
Jessie quickly pushed him away with her small strength while terrifyingly signaling to him that there were crew members nearby.
Julian found her amusing while watching her cautious behavior, but at the same time, he respected her as well. This is her first film. I’d better let her finish her work with peace of mind!
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Eva was irritated by what had happened on the Internet. Her manager had taken a flight and rushed over as this matter had severe ramifications.
After much deliberation, Eva reasoned that she should obtain the termination contract before considering anything else. After all, she couldn’t have allowed herself to sleep with the man for nothing! Thus, she stood up and exited her room before going to the room next door and ringing the doorbell.
Within seconds, the man inside the room answered the door. When the door was opened, she saw him naked, with only a bath towel wrapped around his lower body. His perfect figure was exposed right in front of her eyes.
“You…” Her cheeks flushed as she gazed at his toned abs before she turned away in embarrassment. “Put on your clothes. I’d like to speak with you about something.”
“Come in first.” Julian chuckled deeply.
And so, Eva entered the room. However, the man behind her wrapped his arms around her waist before she could take more than two steps. His manly breath, combined with a faint scent of body shampoo, made her nervous as she felt a current rush through her body.
“You… Let me go.” Eva struggled to free herself from his grip.
“Didn’t you have a good time last night?” the man asked, his voice hoarse.
However, she purposefully avoided discussing what happened last night as she stated, “I’m here for the contract termination.”
“Eva…” the man began calling her lovingly, his voice enticing.
Eva wanted to push his hand away, but her strength prevented her from doing so. She could only turn around to face him, but once she did, she was met with his deep, fiery gaze. Seeing that, she knew that things were about to become dangerous.
She was now kicking herself for walking into his room voluntarily.
“I… Forget it. I’ll go back now.” Eva spoke as she struggled to break free from his embrace.
But to the man, she was like an innocent rabbit walking right into his trap. He would not allow her to leave!
He carried her in his arms the next second, prompting her to mutter angrily, “Leave me alone, Louie…”
“I can’t, and I don’t want to.” With that, Louie immediately carried her to his bedroom.
Eva wished she hadn’t come, but it was too late. She gradually lost herself in the man’s affection, as he reawakened her previously buried love and obsession for him. She could no longer avoid her own feelings after being confronted with his intense love.
Later in the evening, Eva sat on the sofa after taking a bath. “Should I take the pills?” she asked herself.
“I don’t think it’s necessary,” the man standing behind her replied.
Eva raised her head and gave him a stern look. How dare he respond to me?! It’s all because of him that I’m worried about this!
Louie immediately understood how those men who were tightly controlled by their wives felt. He quickly pursed his lips and remained silent.
Eva, however, felt uneasy. What if I become pregnant? What am I going to do then?
Oh God, please don’t let that happen!
At this moment, Louie’s phone rang. He took a look at the screen before answering it. “Hello, Julian… Dinner tonight? Sure. I’ll be there with Eva.”
After he hung up the phone, Louie looked at the woman sitting on the sofa and said, “My brother invited us for dinner tonight. Jessie will be there too.”
Eva nodded in response. “I’ll take a bath in my room,” she said as she stood up.
“Take your bath here. I’ll help you,” Louie said gently.
Eva, of course, turned it down. She had lost all trust in him.
At 6.30PM, Louie and Eva were the first to enter the restaurant’s private room. Not long after that, a lovely couple entered.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1727 Sisters-In-Law
Julian and Jessie had arrived. They both came straight from the set to the restaurant, and they looked a little tired.
“Hello, President Gilmore and Eva!” Jessie greeted.
Eva was surprised as she watched the duo enter the room together, as they both looked and behaved like a couple.
Louie was astute enough to notice that as well. Of course, he was aware that Jessie was special to his brother. “You don’t have to address me as President Gilmore, Jessie. Just call me Louie, as Julian does,” he said.
How can I do that? That took Jessie aback for a brief moment. She then quickly responded, “I shouldn’t do that. You are my superior, and I must respect you.”
“All right, then!” Louie did not pursue the matter further.
Eva quickly drew Jessie to the seat beside her and inquired about her earlier filming. Meanwhile, the brothers had their eyes fixed on Eva and Jessie while the women were chatting, as they were the main protagonists now.
“Eva, I heard you only have slightly more than a dozen scenes left for you to wrap your part. Is that correct?” Jessie asked.
Eva replied with a nod. “Yes. My filming will be completed in three or four days.”
“Then you’ll be leaving, won’t you? I’ll miss you though…” Jessie took Eva’s hand in hers as she spoke.
“It’s all right. After you return to Averna, we can go out for meals or go shopping.” Eva had already taken Jessie as a friend.
Suddenly, Julian interrupted and asked curiously, “Is the news on the Internet true? Are you two seeing each other?”
“Of course, that is true,” Louie answered.
Eva’s face flushed as soon as she heard that. “Don’t listen to him,” she told Julian while sternly looking at Louie.
“I can’t promise anything else, Eva, but I can assure you that Louie’s feelings for you are genuine and sincere.” Julian decided to assist Louie to push his brother further along in his relationship.
Eva’s eyes flickered when she heard that. She was aware of Louie’s feelings for her, but she had no plans to get married right now. After all, marriage was a big decision for a woman, and she couldn’t make it after only one night of sleep.
“Eva, I can see that President Gilmore treats you well,” Jessie chimed in.
However, Eva began teasing Jessie instead. “I can see that Julian treats you well too. Are you two together now?”
This made Jessie embarrassed. “The noble Young Master Julian would not be interested in me!”
“Who else could I be interested in besides you?” Julian snorted softly in response.
Eva immediately laughed at that. “It appears that I have good acumen. I could immediately tell that you two are a couple.”
“No, no. We are not together yet,” Jessie quickly waved her hand in the air and denied it.
Julian held a teacup as he added to Jessie’s words, “True. We’re not a couple now, but we will be in the future.”
Jessie’s face flushed when she heard that. Julian’s proactiveness surprised Louie as well. Louie had thought he was quite successful in courting Eva, but Julian now appeared to be better at courting women than him.
“Julian is a good catch. Don’t pass it up,” Eva advised as she tugged on Jessie’s hand.
Jessie felt amused yet embarrassed at the same time. She was here today to check out Eva’s relationship with Louie, but she was now the one being persuaded to be with Julian!
“Look at what you’re saying, Eva. You sound as if you are my sister-in-law. Why don’t you both be real sisters-in-law?” Julian teased.
Jessie and Eva both looked at each other, stunned.
Only the brothers sitting across from them laughed.
Louie then began asking questions about Julian’s relationship. “When did you start dating Jessie? Why wasn’t I aware of it?”
Meanwhile, Jessie held her teacup in her hand. She, too, wanted to hear Julian say when he became interested in her.
With a smile, Julian responded, “We’ve only known each other for about two months. How would you know about it when you were so preoccupied with your work every day?”
Julian’s words startled Louie a little. True enough, Louie had indeed neglected his brother as he had focused his attention solely on his work.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1728 Couple Bracelets
After their meal, Julian brought Jessie back to the hotel for a rest. Eva, on the other hand, reasoned that she hadn’t taken a walk through the streets in a long time and invited Louie to join her. Louie, of course, eagerly followed.
There was an interesting antique street nearby that was usually crowded at night because it had many interesting toys. Eva truly enjoyed the lively atmosphere. It was just that the crowd was so dense that Louie had to hold her hand as he was afraid that she would get lost.
With a cap and a mask on, Eva walked obediently by his side, looking just like a shy wife.
Louie had his hand on her shoulders as he walked alongside her on the crowded street and then to the scenic area. Half an hour later, he led her back to the car as the sky darkened.
Eva felt thirsty after getting into the car and grabbed a bottle of water to drink. After finishing half of it, she intended to put the bottle away, but the man beside her immediately took the bottle from her and began drinking from it.
Seeing that, she couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat at his gesture. While she was still dazed, the man leaned over from his side to hers to fasten her seatbelt. “I can do it myself,” she said quickly.
However, even after fastening the seat belt, he did not go back to his seat. Instead, he held her chin and kissed her on the lips.
Can’t this man do things in the right place? We’re in the parking lot; how dare he do this here?!
However, Louie couldn’t help himself. He adored Eva so much that he wished he could hold her in his arms all the time.
Eva awkwardly returned his kiss. Sensing that, Louie finally returned to his seat in satisfaction. “You’ve improved. At least you know how to respond to my kiss now,” he murmured, his gaze filled with his approval of her.
Hearing that, she was rendered speechless. Who cares about his compliments? What a conceited guy. I’ll definitely push him away next time!
Louie then drove back to the hotel. Eva was in a good mood as she bought two red bracelets, which she was told would bring her good luck. She wasn’t the type to believe it, but she still felt happy as the bracelets were lovely. She even bought two of them as they were a pair of couple bracelets.
She did not have the opportunity to give it to Louie earlier, so she decided to give it to him later when they arrived at the hotel.
When they arrived at the car park, she handed him one of the bracelets. “This is for you.”
“So, you bought it for me.” Louie reached out his hand to take it. He didn’t mind the red bracelet, and he wore it on his wrist right away. Such a red bracelet meant far more to him than the million-dollar watch on his wrist.
“It is said to bring good luck to whoever wears it. Wear it only if you want to,” Eva mumbled.
“I like it as long as it’s from you,” Louie said softly. He was overjoyed that she was willing to buy him something.
She then wore the other red bracelet that she had bought. They both now wore a pair of couple bracelets.
After exiting the car, Eva quickly walked into the hotel while Louie followed her from behind.
She then proceeded to her room when they reached their floors. However, he grabbed her wrist and said, seemingly pleading with her, “Sleep in my room tonight.”
“I don’t want to,” Eva responded shyly.
“Please,” Louie purred.
Witnessing how the arrogant President Gilmore deigned to plead with her, Eva couldn’t help but feel honored. Thus, with a shy and reserved expression, she said, “I have to get my pajamas at least!”
A smile broke out on Louie’s face when he heard that. “Okay. I’ll wait for you in the room.”
With that, Eva pushed open the door and entered her room, her face still flushed. What exactly am I doing? How can I agree to share a room with him? I’m well aware of how dangerous he is! Since I’m already back in my room, perhaps I should just stay here. But I’ve promised him that I will go over. Won’t I be deceiving him if I didn’t?
She took a long while, struggling with what she should do. At last, she decided to be an honest person who kept her word.

Even if I have no plans to sleep with him, I should let him know before I come back. Eva held a small bag in her hands that contained her pajamas inside. Arriving outside the man’s room, she reached up and rang the doorbell.
The door quickly opened from the inside. It was evident that the man was very worried that she might not come.
“You’re here! Come on in!” Louie turned sideways to let her in.
She pursed her lips and said, “I… I don’t like sleeping with others. I’m worried that I might not fall asleep, so I—”
Before she could finish her sentence, he grabbed her with his long arms and forcefully pulled her into the room. “I’ll sleep in the guest room. You can have the master bedroom.”
His actions left her speechless, but she blabbered an invalid excuse anyway.
“It’s getting late. Hurry up and take a shower!” he suggested in a low voice, hoping that she could get some rest as soon as possible.
“I’ll sleep in the guest room.” After saying that, she opened the door to the guest room and went inside. I guess I’ll be housemates with him tonight!
Then, she went inside for a shower. It took her half an hour to finish showering and washing her hair. Hence, it was fully dark outside by the time she dried her hair and came out of the room. At this moment, she saw Louie standing on the balcony and enjoying the wind.
Why is he still awake? Eva walked out to the balcony to enjoy the night breeze as she felt a little restless. He was holding a glass of red wine in his hand. When he saw her walking over, he leaned against the railing in a sexy manner. His nightgown fell open slightly, and his firm chest muscles were faintly visible through the opening, giving him a wild and roguish atmosphere.
She suddenly discovered that her mouth was a little dry, so she took the glass of red wine from his hand and gulped down the contents by herself. On the other hand, he watched her finish half a glass of red wine in one gulp and smiled. “Do you want some more?”
“Yes.” It felt as though the red wine could quench her thirst, so she nodded.
He went inside and poured another half glass of red wine for her. Taking the glass from him, she immediately began drinking again. She liked this type of red wine. There was a slight sweetness and tartness that gave the wine a rich aftertaste.
“If you like it so much, I’ll give you two bottles next time,” he said. This red wine was something that he specially brought for this occasion. Not only was it expensive, but the taste was also exquisite.
Eva raised her eyebrows at those words. “Okay!” After she finished the half glass of wine, she handed the empty glass back to Louie. “I want more.”
“Aren’t you worried that you might get drunk?”
“I’ll sleep better if I’m drunk.”
“Why? Do you have a hard time falling asleep when you’re with me?” he asked her with a playful smile.
She countered his question with another question. “Are you going to get me more wine?”
Naturally, he was more than willing to get her more wine. That was because he liked the drunk her tonight. She looked even more charming and adorable than usual.
Eva propped her chin on her hand, feeling a little drunk. Even so, she liked this hazy intoxicated feeling. It made her feel as though she could be more relaxed in front of this man. After she drank another half glass of red wine, she accidentally let out a belch in front of Louie.
She immediately covered her mouth in horror, feeling extremely embarrassed about her unsightly behavior. Nevertheless, he simply smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke her cheek. “That’s what you get for drinking so much!”
She placed the wine glass down and used her hand to brush her long hair aside. At the same time, she intentionally leaned into his embrace, after which Louie’s eyes darkened in appreciation as he enjoyed her initiative.
If he had to be honest, Louie had already noticed Eva’s feelings for him. She had never once rejected him in the past, so it could be seen that she had fancied him even before this. It was fortunate that he had not given up and waited for her all this while—the day when their feelings for each other would come to fruition was finally here.
He hugged her and planted his thin lips in her hair. A faint scent of flowers filled his nose, making his heartstrings twitch slightly. An uncontrollable urge surged in his heart as a result, and he asked hoarsely, “Would you like to sleep together tonight?”
“No.” Eva insisted despite being drunk.
“Why not?”
“If I sleep in the same room with you, do you think I’ll have any time to sleep?” she complained slightly.
“Don’t worry. I promise I’ll let you sleep well.” After Louie hoarsely finished his sentence, he reacted like a beast that had been eyeing its prey for a long time and pounced upon her as though she were his prey.
She had understood the implications of her actions tonight. When she came here, she had already mentally prepared herself for what might happen. This man had always been intensely attracted to her, but her reserve as a woman had prevented her from taking the initiative.
“Eva, I love you.” Leaning close, he whispered in her ear and his thin lips kissed her earlobes. In response, she hugged him tight and actively searched for his thin lips.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1730 Engagement
The corners of the man’s mouth curved into a smile. At this moment, the long wait he suffered previously was worth it.
In another room, Jessie was chatting with Julian on the phone. Although they were only separated by one room, there was a unique charm in using written words that brought endless fun to the conversation.
Lexie, who was nearby, felt extremely envious! Nevertheless, she was happy that Jessie was in a relationship with Julian because she believed that Jessie deserved to have him.
“To be honest, Jessie, I can’t accept any woman being in a relationship with Young Master Julian. You’re the only one who gives me the feeling that the two of you are a match made in heaven when you’re together,” she said.
Naturally, Jessie was overjoyed to hear those words! It was just that she did not wish to reveal their relationship to the public yet. Part of the reason was their current cooperation with each other. Their relationship would affect the promotional results of their movie, so they could only maintain a cooperative relationship for now.
The fact that they were in a romantic relationship with each other had to be kept secret.
This point was something Lexie had also considered, so she suggested, “But, Jessie, you and Young Master Julian should not reveal your relationship to the public yet. He has many female fans. I’m worried that they might affect your movie premiere.”
“Yeah! You’re right. I’ve also considered that issue, so I will maintain my distance from him.”
Early the next morning, Eva vaguely heard the ringing of a phone. It was just that she was still a little sleepy, so she continued to sleep and felt Louie planting a kiss on her cheek. Immediately after that, he kicked off the blankets and got out of bed to answer the phone.
It was at this moment that she was fully awake. He had gone out to the living room to answer the phone, so she wore her clothes and went out to accompany him. At this moment, she heard his voice entering her ears. “Mr. Constantine, I will come back as soon as possible to discuss the engagement. Please give me a little more time. I will give you a proper explanation. Don’t worry. I will fulfill the agreement that my parents made with you back then. I will not make things difficult for you.”
Eva paused in the middle of walking out into the living room. Engagement? Does he have an engagement? Why have I never heard him mention that before?
When he finished his phone call and returned to the room, she was already on the bed and ready to sleep again. She did not wish to let him discover that she had eavesdropped on his phone call.
During breakfast, Louie invited Director Cooper to eat together so that he could ask about Eva’s role in the scene. If her scenes could progress quickly, then she would be done in two days. Although he was in a rush to return and dissolve his engagement, he wanted to wait until Eva was finished so that he could bring her back to Averna with him.
“I don’t want to be so rushed. I’ve been a little tired recently, so I want to rest before I continue filming.” Eva realized that Louie wanted to wait for her to return to Averna, so she deliberately dragged things out because she didn’t want to go back.
After saying that, she looked up at the man. “If you have something urgent, you should go back first!”
“No worries. I can wait for you.”
“I plan to stay here for another week or two. Are you planning to wait for me?” She deliberately pointed out.
Louie pondered in silence for a moment. “In that case, I’ll go back and settle something this afternoon. I’ll come back as soon as possible and wait for you to finish filming, then I’ll bring you back to Averna.”
“Alright. You can go back first!” She nodded.
At 10:30AM, Louie left the hotel. On the other hand, Eva inquired about Julian’s filming location today because she wanted to visit him.
Julian was filming at the studio today. Thanks to his current role, he had many wire-flying scenes to film. Not to mention, he was filming with Jessie today. Their cooperation could be considered remarkably cohesive at this point.
After they finished filming, Eva walked over and talked to Julian. Jessie was still filming at this moment, so they entered the resting lounge. “Julian, I’d like to ask you something. Does your brother have an engagement?”
Julian was taken aback. “How did you know?”
“I overheard him on the phone this morning. Tell me. What is going on?”
He had been very young at the time. He was only five years old when his parents set up the engagement for his brother, and he later heard from his brother that this engagement was what brought the company’s business back to life.
Unfortunately, he did not know the clauses that were written in the engagement. “It’s true that Louie has an engagement. It’s something our parents decided when they were still alive, but I believe that this engagement will not affect your relationship.”
