Ch. 1951..1960

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1951--The next morning, Ellen got out of bed and was startled to see a figure awaiting her outside the door. “Why did you get up so early in the morning?” “Wanna go jogging with me?” Jared invited her.

As it happened, Ellen also wanted to exercise a bit. She replied with a nod, “Okay! Give me a minute while I get changed.” She changed into sportswear before changing into a pair of sports shoes as they went out.

Then, she greeted the morning sun with the man, breathing the fresh air on the hillside while jogging along a perfect jogging trail that stretched to the hilltop.

Shrouded in a thin layer of mist, the Central Business District nearby looked amazingly beautiful from here. Those high-rise buildings look just like geometrical figures from here, thought Ellen with wonder as she jogged along the trail.

The man in front of her jogged while matching. her pace. The morning sun cast a gentle glow on her face, making her look delicately attractive with a refreshing charm like morning dew.

As expected, Ellen’s stamina wasn’t up to it. After jogging less than 200 yards, she had to slow down and walk instead. Panting slightly, she said with a smile, ‘I can’t run anymore.”

Jared stopped jogging, too, he walked with her at a strolling pace. “Let’s walk, then! We’ll walk to the top of the hill before coming down.”

Only then did Ellen get a picture of what the super-rich was like. Even such a big jogging facility is privately owned, she thought.

After climbing all the way to the top of the hill, she was already out of breath, but she felt very fulfilled. “Wow! It’s so beautiful!” she said with a sigh.

Jared quietly stepped behind her. Before she realized what was happening, an arm gently wrapped itself around her waist. He leaned forward and rested his attractive chin lightly on her shoulder, asking, “You like it?”

Ellen’s body tensed up for a moment before she quietly relaxed. She replied with a nod, “Uh-huh, I like it.”

“Then, you should keep on staying at my house. I can come here and enjoy the scenery with you every day,” the man pleaded under his breath.

Ellen could hear her heart thump. Jared’s words were no different from a profession of love; however, having been through so many things, she was no longer impatient for an outcome. Gazing into the distance, she replied, “Let’s wait until I’ve settled down before we talk about this, okay?”

Jared was also a little annoyed with himself for pushing her too hard. She’s just been through so many things. Can’t I wait until her life becomes more peaceful before going out with her?

They stayed on the hill for a while. As it was too windy, Jared then led her down the hill for fear that she might catch a cold.

He drove her out for breakfast. He usually stayed alone and didn’t like to have servants at home, so he normally ate out for breakfast. However, he wondered if he should get a couple of servants for Ellen so that she could have tasty and nutritious meals while staying at home. “My time’s all yours today. What would you like to do?” he asked her.

Ellen pondered for a moment before suggesting, “Would you like to go to the movies with me, then?” Jared smiled. “Of course.”

Meanwhile, Connor and Olivia went to the real estate agent together to sign the house purchase and sale agreement. The full payment was credited to Connor’s account before the real estate agent, who then accompanied Connor to the bank to pay off the outstanding loan and get back the mortgaged title deed before making an appointment to go through the property transfer procedure in the afternoon.

The buyers were in a hurry to move in, so they gave Connor and his family three days to pack up their belongings and move out after paying in full.

The property transfer was completed at 3.00PM. When the remaining 7.5 million was credited to Connor’s bank account, Olivia, who was standing next to him, was so angry that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Ellen, that little brat! So much cash is gonna be given to her in the blink of an eye. I’d rather be killed instead!

“Connor, can’t we talk to Ellen again and see if she can let us keep some of the money for our living expenses? Don’t ask for a big amount; just ask her to let us keep about 750,000. What do you think?” she said to Connor. Our family will be reduced to starving if we give all 7.5 million to Ellen!

As one would expect, greed began to stir in Connor’s heart as he looked at the account balance shown on his phone. Indeed, we can talk to Ellen and ask her to let us keep some of the money for our living expenses.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1952--Connor prepared to ask Ellen out tomorrow to give her the money and talk about this while he was at it. Meanwhile, in the movie theater…

Having bought the movie tickets, Ellen first went to the movie theater’s lounge area with Jared. They were going to watch a warm and inspirational movie for young people.

Many youngsters came in groups to watch it, and besides, its male protagonist was played by an actor whom Ellen had always liked, which made her especially look forward to the movie.

While waiting for the movie to begin, Ellen picked up the mini poster on the table; a smile couldn’t help but reach her beautiful sparkling eyes as she looked at the handsome lead actor on the poster.

Unbeknownst to her, the man beside her was also looking at her and thus noticed the animated expression on her face. He darted a sidelong glance at the lead actor on the poster, who was indeed pretty good- looking. “Do you like this actor very much?” he asked nonchalantly.

“Uh-huh, I like him very much. He’d just made his debut when I started high school. At the time, he was an unknown little actor, now he’s already one of the top celebrities!” Ellen said, introducing the actor as if she were very proud of him.

Little did she notice that the smile on the face of the man beside her was somewhat strained. “Is that so?”

Ellen replied, “That’s right! He’s not only a good actor but also skilled at singing and dancing. My friends and I even clubbed together to go to his concert when I was at college.” Her eyes shone brightly as she spoke of her idol, as though she were talking about one of the happiest moments of her life.

At this moment, the man’s strained smile vanished. Pressing his tongue against his cheek, he looked askance at the lead actor on the poster, as if a hint of jealousy had surged up within him without rhyme or reason.

Ellen continued with a look of anticipation, “I’l definitely go rooting for him at his next concert. Not only that, I’ll get the upfront seat and try to shake hands with him.”

The man beside her turned as black as thunder in an instant. He replied with a faint cough, “Okay! Take me along then. I’ll go with you.” “Do you like him as well?” Ellen asked in surprise.

Jared was speechless. “Uh-huh. You like him, so I like him too, of course.” Just then, several young ladies who had been staring at Jared for a long time made some loud noises, with each of them trying to draw

his attention in every way possible. They never expected to come across a super-handsome guy in the lounge area. Not only was he a refined beefcake, but he also looked even more handsome than the lead actor. How they wished they could draw his attention!

Ellen darted a look at the ladies nearby. As a young lady, she naturally saw through their intentions. Only then did she look narrowly at the man beside her with mesmerizing eyes. No wonder he’s such a chick magnet. He’s really charming, after all.

Just then, it was announced that they could enter the theater by showing their movie tickets. Ellen stood up, saying, ‘Let’s go.” The movie began shortly after they entered the theater.

Ellen was holding a box of popcorn in her arms when Jared reached over for it. At first, Ellen wanted to grab some popcorn, but she ended up grabbing the man’s hand while watching the movie. She darted an embarrassed look at him.

Feeling the softness of her fingers, Jared felt a flutter in his heart. However, just when he looked at her tenderly, he noticed that her eyes were fixed steadily on the silver screen, on which the lead actor’s youthful and upbeat appearance drew screams from a bunch of fans in the theater.

Of course, Ellen was also drawn to the lead actor, who really looked like every lady’s perfect dreamboat in the movie. His smile was so therapeutic that Ellen’s lips curved into a smile, too.

Staring at the lead actor in the movie, the man beside her became jealous at once. Does this lady like this actor so much? Does she have to fangirl over him like this?

Jared didn’t watch the whole movie at all. Instead, he saw again and again how Ellen looked like when she was infatuated with another man. Her eyes even glistened with tears when the lead male protagonist got banished from his family by his parents at the end of the movie. Immersed completely in the plot of the movie, she secretly shed tears for him.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1953--When the movie came to an end, Jared finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was hinted at the end of the movie that there was an Easter egg. Ellen wanted to wait for it, but the man took her hand and dragged her away.

“Hey… There’s still an Easter egg in the movie!” The man dragged Ellen out of the theater without a pause. She couldn’t help but break free of his grasp, asking, ‘Let go of me, okay?”

“Haven’t you had enough of watching the movie?” Jared asked grumpily.

“I-I’m going to the restroom!” Ellen blinked her eyes, confused as to why Jared had lost his temper all of a sudden. Is he not even gonna let me use the restroom?

Jared relaxed his grip on her hand. As she went to the restroom, he stood in the hallway and became the subject of discussion among the ladies passing by. A few ladies even purposely stood there just to peep at him. After all, this was their first time seeing a man in real life who looked just like one of those wealthy scions in the movies!

Just then, Ellen came out of the restroom. Jared immediately wrapped his arm around her and left.

“He’s got a girlfriend!”

“That lady’s so lucky to be his girlfriend!”

Ellen happened to hear this. After being startled for a moment, she started feeling somewhat bashful.

As soon as they stepped out of the theater, Ellen’s phone rang. She picked it up and took a look at it, only to see that it was a phone call from Connor.

Jared noticed it as well. He patted her on the shoulder, saying, “Just answer the phone and get back what’s supposed to be yours.” Ellen answered the phone. “Hello.”

“Ellie, it’s me, your Uncle Connor. I finally collected enough money to give you by selling my house and my car. Say, when are you free? Let’s meet up.”

“I’m free right now.” “Okay, you decide on the place, then. We’ll sit down and talk.”

Seeing that the theater wasn’t far from Connor’s house, Ellen replied, “Okay, I’m waiting for you at the mall. I’ll send you the address.”

Connor sounded gentle and sincere over the phone. “Alright, see you in a moment.” Jared looked at Ellen. “I’ll meet them with you.”

Ellen nodded. In fact, she would feel more relaxed in his company.

Meanwhile, at Aguirre Residence, Olivia couldn’t help getting excited after watching Connor end the phone call. “How is it? Did Ellen change her stance?”

“I think so. She’s softhearted in the first place, anyway.” Connor thought it feasible to negotiate with Ellen.

Olivia replied, “That’s great! In that case, can we ask her to give us more of the money?” Her greed went to her head again; she couldn’t wait for Ellen to pity their family.

She even purposely chose to wear some old clothes today while getting Connor to wear a suit from several years ago. The clothes were discolored from multiple piles of washing, which made the couple appear shabbier than before.

Just then, Connor’s phone rang; Ellen texted him her address. After taking a look at it, he said, “It’s not far from here. Let’s go!”

Olivia pondered while saying, “Ellen will come alone, right? Young Master Jared gives me the creeps now whenever I see him.”

Connor replied, “I think so.” He thought that a busy man like Jared probably wouldn’t have time to keep Ellen company. And besides, he also hoped that Ellen would come alone so that it would be easier for him to make the request.

The couple decided to just brazen it out. As long as they could extract some money from Ellen’s 7.5 million, they wouldn’t have to live in such poverty after this.

They took a cab to the shopping mall. As soon as they got out of the cab, Olivia complained with a look of disgust, “What’s that smell in the cab?! It stank so much that I almost threw up.”

She had always gone out in her husband’s Bentley in the past. Its spacious seats were pure pleasure, and besides, she hadn’t taken a cab for a dozen years already.

Connor said to her, “All right, stop being so unreasonable! Let’s meet Ellen first.” At this moment, he was still thinking about another pair of mother and son to whom he wanted to give some money, so he yearned more than his wife for Ellen to give them some cash.

“It’s that cafe, right? Lena took me there before. It’s a nice place,” Olivia said.

Connor nodded while taking her to the cafe’s entrance. As soon as they entered, they saw a couple seated in front of the French window, and their hearts thumped instantly.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1954 --Why is Young Master Jared here too? Olivia and Connor exchanged a brief look. It’s gonna be difficult for us to say it this time. They sat down. When the waiter approached them, Olivia ordered a cup of coffee for herself and a cup of tea for Connor.

“Ellie, we’re really sorry. What happened in the past was our fault. We’ve mistreated you as your elders, Connor sincerely apologized.

Jared eyed the couple with his penetrating. gaze. Seeing through their lingering resentment, he figured that they were going to play the misery card to gain Ellen’s sympathy. He said with a squint, “She’ll let you off as long as you guys give her share of the money back to her.”

“Aren’t you busy today, Young Master Jared?” Olivia asked with a forced smile. ‘I’m keeping Ellen company today,” Jared answered. “Young Master Jared, can we talk to Ellen alone? Connor pleaded.

Jared reached out and wrapped his arm around Ellen’s shoulders. “I’m Ellen’s boyfriend, so I don’t think there’s anything that I couldn’t listen to. Mr. and Mrs. Aguirre, just spill it if you’ve got something to say!”

Connor and Olivia exchanged another brief look, feeling so embarrassed that they didn’t know what to say for a moment. Jared said, “If you’ve got nothing to say, then. please give the 7.5 million to Ellen. We’ve got somewhere else to go.”

Upon seeing this, Olivia couldn’t help but say, “Well, Ellie, we’ve driven ourselves to the brink of financial ruin in order to collect the money. We’ve sold our house and our car, you see, yet we’ve got only 7.5 million in our hands. Your uncle and I are getting old, and we really have no idea how we’re gonna live from now on!”

Jared looked at Ellen. At this very moment, he hoped that she would stand her ground and not sympathize with them.

Ellen looked at Olivia. Hearing her aunt’s words, she indeed fell silent for a moment, which made Olivia and Connor wonder if those words had touched her and aroused her sympathy for them.

Ellen looked up at the husband and wife across from her as tears slowly welled up in her eyes. “Yeah, that’s right. You two are getting old because you spent the best years of your lives on enjoyment when you two should’ve worked hard.

While you two were indulging in luxury, Grandma and I were struggling in poverty. Grandma skimped on food and clothing in order to support me through my schooling. Had you two had the slightest conscience over the years, you would’ve supported us financially, had you shown us even the slightest sympathy, we wouldn’t have had such a rough life.

However, you two had neither conscience nor sympathy. You two weren’t even willing to give us a bit of the reward you got in exchange for donating my brother’s heart.”

Listening to her speech, Connor and Olivia hung their heads in shame and avoided her gaze, whereas Jared only had a pained look in his eyes.

“Sorry, Ellie. I’m really ashamed of what we did,” Connor said before taking the bank card out of his wallet. He continued, “Here’s 7.5 million on the card, and its passcode is six sixes. Just change the passcode yourself.”

Seeing that her husband had actually handed over the card like that, Olivia pleaded brazenly at once, “I’m begging you, Ellie, please give us a little money for our living expenses, okay? We don’t need much; 750,000 would be enough.”

Ellen took the card before standing up to leave.

Olivia jumped out of her seat and grabbed her hand. “I’m begging you, Ellie! Take this as my plea to you. Please let us keep some money for the sake that we’re old and incapable of working!”

“Isn’t your daughter quite capable? She came back after studying abroad. Surely, she could earn enough money to support you two, Ellen said before withdrawing her hand from Olivia’s grasp.

Olivia then said to Jared, “Young Master Jared, could you please take pity on us and give us some money again? We helped you back then, after all.” She was so anxious that she lost her mind and actually pleaded with the man.

To her, it was as though the Presgrave Family’s money would fall from the sky, the family was so wealthy that she could easily get several hundred thousand from them!

Jared darted a look at her. “It’s true that I’ll show my gratitude to the person who saved met back then, but that person is Ellen, not you and your family.”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1955--Ellen took his arm, saying, “Let’s go.” Olivia’s eyes were full of bitter resentment as she followed the couple with her gaze. She looked back and scolded her husband, saying, “Connor, why did you give her the money so readily just now?! Now we’re not getting anything!”

Jared took Ellen to a bank nearby. After confirming that there was indeed 7.5 million in the bank account, he had the amount transferred to her account immediately.

However, Ellen wasn’t delighted by the sight of the phone notification showing the account balance. Instead, her heart was heavy, and her feelings were complicated.

“It’s still early, so let me take you somewhere for fun. Let’s go!” Jared said to her in an attempt to make her happy. Ellen nodded before getting into the car with him.

Meanwhile, Olivia and Connor quarreled as they left the cafe. In the end, Connor left first by cab in a fit of rage, leaving Olivia at the entrance to the shopping mall. With no alternative, she had no choice but to call Selena.

After getting the phone call, Selena hurriedly took a cab here to pick Olivia up. When Olivia told her about their family’s situation, she immediately got anxious. So, my family is penniless now? “Mom, have you estimated how much money we have left?”

Olivia’s head was throbbing at this moment; she felt there was no hope left in her life. “If we go back and sell some furniture, we can probably raise around 15,000.”

Selena replied, “Ellen’s so heartless! Does it make her happy to leave us homeless?!” She was filled with hatred for Ellen. Now that Ellen’s gotten the 7.5 million, she’s definitely going to be very pleased with herself in the future! After all, she just turned into a rich lady in an instant.

Olivia said, “She wouldn’t have been so cruel to us if she had a conscience. I pleaded with her today to let us keep 750,000, but she wasn’t even willing to give us a single dime!

She’s really hungry for money.” She thought that what Ellen had said at the end of their conversation was just an excuse she had made to refuse to give them the money.

At this moment, Selena’s feelings were also complicated, because she had a big secret that she dared not tell Olivia. It disgusted her that Connor had another family outside of his marriage to her mother.

She wondered how much money the mistress had gotten from her father with her amazing capabilities. She must’ve gotten a lot of money from Dad. Perhaps they’re even better off than us! “Mom, you have to keep an eye on the money at home. Don’t let Dad spend the money out there.”

Olivia replied, “How much money could your dad spend, anyway? He only spends money on drinking tea apart from smoking.” She was still not alerted even now. In her mind’s eye, Connor was frugal despite his incompetence. His monthly allowance wouldn’t exceed 150 apart from the money he spent on gas.

“Mom, you have to control the purse strings of our family. We can’t let Dad do that anymore,” Selena insisted vehemently.

Olivia asked, ‘Lena, I gave you 15,000 before. How much money do you have left now?” At this moment, she hoped that Selena would spend more thriftily.

However, Selena had always been a spendthrift since she was little, so how much money could she save? She had spent several thousand in: the blink of an eye while staying at a five-star hotel over the past few days. “Mom, I don’t have much left. I have only about 3,800 left in my bank account.”

“How could you spend so much money in just a few days?!” Olivia’s head instantly throbbed again in anger. ‘You can’t spend money like this anymore. Our family can’t afford to let you be so extravagant anymore. We all have to live a frugal life from now on.”

Selena felt very displeased as she listened to this. Olivia had never said such things before, but now she reprimanded her like this.

When they returned to the Aguirre Residence, Connor was already packing their belongings. He had rented a three-bedroom house from a friend and was trying to move to a new house tomorrow.

However, Olivia protested the instant she heard that the house was in Lockwood Village, where she had lived before. “It’s so out of the way! How are we gonna go shopping in the future?!”

“How are you gonna go shopping when we’ve got no money anymore? It’s nice enough that we have a place to stay and have food to eat at the moment!” Connor barked at her.

Olivia was stupefied for a moment. “Can’t you rent someplace else instead? We can’t even hold our heads up if we move back and run into someone we know.”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1956--Unexpectedly, Cillian was an uninhibited man and instantly grabbed Selena as soon as he entered the room. At the same time, Selena. was also captivated by him. As things instantly became heated between the two, she took the initiative to cater to him.

However, she soon discovered a major flaw, and that was the fact that he did not last long. In less than five minutes, he had reached his limit, and though. his expression darkened, she still continued to compliment him.

After experiencing his fair share of women, Cillian was naturally aware that Selena was only feigning her praise for him, and he instantly lost his temper. Pushing away her hand that wrapped around his body from behind, he said, “Miss Aguirre, I think you should head back downstairs!”

His dismissive tone made her stop in her tracks, but she tactfully tugged her dress on and headed downstairs. Meanwhile, upon seeing Selena returning without Cillian, Charlie sneered, knowing that she had already kept him company.

He strode toward the speaker, where he took the microphone from the host and announced, “Next, I’d like to invite someone on stage. Please enjoy the show.”

After hearing that there was an upcoming performance, the audience looked at him.

expectantly, and he motioned for the lighting. technician to point in Selena’s direction while declaring, ‘Next, we would like to invite Selena to entertain us with a dance.”

Instantly, the lighting technician shone a spotlight on Selena’s body. Unable to react in time, she stood under the light, completely dumbfounded as all eyes were on her, some in anticipation, some in ridicule, and some in amusement.

“Selena, come on stage and give us a show to keep us entertained!” Charlie’s voice had taken on a tone of disrespect as if Selena was a tool he had brought to please the public.

Her face turned extremely red and she looked at Charlie, hoping he would give her a chance to get off the stage, but he continued to urge her, “Selena, why aren’t you getting up yet? Give us a twirl!”

Hearing that, she lifted her dress and walked toward him, saying to him with her head held high, “Charlie, what are you talking about? Who said I was going to perform?”

She was speaking in her regular tone, but as Charlie was holding a microphone, everyone heard what was said. “Oh, does Miss Selena not want to play along? What’s wrong? Did you think that I brought you here as an esteemed guest?

In that case, you’re wrong. I only invited you to put on a performance for us and keep our guests entertained.” Instantly, Selena glared at him with her usual haughty expression. “Charlie, don’t push it.”

At the sight of her expression, he couldn’t help but let out a howl. “Selena, who do you think you’re fooling? Everyone knows you have nothing to your name now, and your entire family is living in a crappy rented apartment! No wonder you came in such an awful dress tonight; I guess your family can’t even afford a decent evening gown!”

Selena’s face flushed red as she felt the mocking gazes centered on her from all directions, and her mind went blank. How did Charlie find out about her circumstances?

“Do you know why she’s here tonight? She wants to hunt for a permanent ATM. Everyone, pay attention. Don’t be fooled by this so-called rich girl. I used to think she was wealthy, but I didn’t expect she was just bluffing!”

Charlie’s words made her so ashamed and angry that she wished a hole would open up and swallow her whole. Just then, she saw Cillian on the second floor, who was fully clothed and coming downstairs.

However, there was not a trace of interest in the way he looked at her, and he treated her like she was invisible, not even sparing a glance at her.

Selena, on the other hand, looked closely at Cillian, hoping that he would come to her rescue like a knight in shining armor and rescue her from her embarrassment.

However, Charlie sneered. “Selena, hurry up and get out. Do you think this is the kind of occasion where a fake like you can enter? Only qualified guests are eligible to attend this festival. The only thing you are worthy of is to please the guests and fill their glasses for them.”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1957--“Charlie.” Selena gritted her teeth angrily. However, Charlie ignored her and continued to mock her loudly into the microphone, “Should I ask Mr. Cillian to introduce you to a waitressing job? You’d earn a few hundred a month!”

At that moment, Selena was so humiliated that she walked toward her bag and picked it up before hastily taking her leave, while Charlie continued to curse at her from behind, “You shameless b*tch, why are you still pretending to be all high and mighty?

You ignored me when I helped you, and now you’re planning to use me as a stepping stone? If you think you can marry a rich man with your status, dream on! I want all your friends to know what sort of person you are.”

Trembling, Selena walked toward the entrance of the villa. Her pride and arrogance had been tossed away and stomped all over that night.

Once Selena was outside, the guard told her that she had to walk a mile down the road to catch a cab. Instantly, she despaired, but she didn’t want to stay here for even a second longer, so she was forced to keep walking along the streetlights with her bag in hand, traveling down the empty road as if she were a ghost.

“Ahh!” She broke down and let out a scream before covering her face and crying, feeling. sorrow like she had never felt before. Her life was completely ruined.

Walking until her legs felt as if they were going. to break, she finally made it out. She left with nothing, yet she’d given up her body like a fool. Heading to a pharmacy, she bought a box of pills and swallowed it on the bench outside the shop alone. And yet, her feelings were far more bitter than the pills, and her night was practically a living nightmare.

Ellen, you did this to me! I hate you!

At midnight, Ellen was sleeping when her phone suddenly rang, startling her out of her slumber. After she hurriedly fumbled for her phone, she turned it on and saw an unknown number.

Ellen picked it up and asked, “Hello? Who’s this?”

Suddenly, a harsh female voice roared at her from the other end, “Ellen Reiss, I won’t let you rest easy! You will get your retribution, you vicious woman!”

As soon as the woman’s howl came to an end, an eerie and haunting tune sounded. Upon hearing this in the middle of the night, Ellen nearly threw her phone away in fear. Fortunately, she quickly switched on the lights and hung up the call.

She thought to herself that someone must have played a prank on her, and as this person had called out her name, it was obvious that they were someone who knew her well.

Her face was a little ashen, and she was still somewhat fearful. After all, anyone else would be greatly shaken if they received such a call in the middle of the night. She exhaled and took a couple of deep breaths before deciding not to pay attention to them. They must be someone harboring bad intentions, so why should she be bothered?

Just then, Ellen’s phone chimed again with a notification tone, and her phone rang continuously as if she was receiving many text messages at once.

She picked up her phone angrily and opened the text messages, only to throw her phone away in fright. On her phone, there was nothing but harrowing pictures of corpses or ghosts that made her heart race.

Ellen began to gasp for air. She had always been terrified of the paranormal, and this person managed to send her the pictures she was afraid of the most. Who the hell is this? She looked at the phone and hugged herself tightly before taking a look at the clock. It was two in the morning.

There was still some time before dawn, but she couldn’t sleep at all even if she wanted to. Her mind was filled with the pictures she had just seen, and her body was even covered in a cold sweat. With the lights turned on, she drew the bed cover before hiding herself underneath, feeling tormented.

Meanwhile, Selena received a message from the hotel as well. ‘Miss Aguirre, I’m already doing my job. Don’t worry, in less than a week, that girl will lose her mind.’

‘Better yet, make her go insane and drive her into the psychiatric ward,’ she replied viciously.

She had hired someone to frighten Ellen, which was the same tactic someone in her university had used in the past to scare a perfectly normal girl into psychosis and a lifetime of medication, leaving her in a tragic state.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1958--As Selena had found out that Ellen lived alone, scaring her was a fatal move. She planned to continue sending people to harass Ellen at night, rendering her unable to live in peace by keeping her on high alert at all times.

In the long run, any sane person would eventually lose their mind. Selena was on the verge of insanity as well. It had been two days since she was humiliated by Charlie, and she had spent those two days living in pain and resentment. She detested Ellen. After all, she was treated like this because of Ellen, and she vowed to make her life miserable.

At dawn, Jared had already changed into his sportswear and was waiting for Ellen to arise in the living room. Recently, they’d begun jogging together, as if they had formed a tacit understanding between them. To him, jogging wasn’t important-being with Ellen was.

Usually, she would get up at half past seven, but when he waited outside her door until it was half past eight and did not hear any signs of her waking up, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of worry. Did she fall sick?

In the end, he decided to knock on her door, and he soon heard footsteps inside. Instantly, the door opened to reveal Ellen with her hair down and her forehead coated in a cold sweat, standing by the doorway with an ashen face. From the looks of it, it was clear that she had not slept well at all.

“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” he asked in concern. Ellen nodded and apologized, “Yeah. I don’t think I can go jogging today. I want to rest a bit. longer. Is that all right?”

Jared reached out and placed a hand on her forehead. After seeing that she did not have a fever, he assured her in a gentle voice, “Go ahead and rest! I’ll go make some congee for you.”

Ellen gently nodded, not intending to tell him what she encountered last night as she felt that he already had enough work to deal with every day.

After she went back to sleep, she felt much more reinvigorated when she reawakened at eleven o’clock. Subsequently, she deleted the pictures from her phone.

In the afternoon, Jared headed to the company while she stayed at home, leisurely spending her time taking care of the cat and plants. Every afternoon at three, Jared would order a different set of afternoon tea desserts for her accompanied by a gift box, satisfying her taste buds while also giving her a new surprise each day.

When night fell, he took her out for dinner at a restaurant nearby. “Tell me, what nightmare did you have last night?” Jared asked worriedly, wondering what she dreamed of that sent her breaking into a cold sweat.

“Nothing, I just thought of something scary,” Ellen lied, not wanting to bring up the grotesque pictures to him on such a romantic night.

However, as she ate, she felt her stomach churning and covered her mouth with a hand, losing her appetite.

Keenly sensing that something was off about her, Jared handed her a glass of water and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel sick?”

Ellen accepted the glass and took a sip before shaking her head. “It’s nothing. I probably don’t have an appetite because I didn’t sleep well last night.”

As she had expected, she was unable to continue eating after looking at the plates of meat and ended her meal with only vegetables.

After dinner, Jared took her home, and the two watched documentaries on the couch in the living room. Ellen enjoyed watching historical documentaries, and so did Jared. But right now, he wasn’t paying attention to the television screen.

He stood up and got himself a glass of tea, and upon taking his seat again, he sat next to Ellen and naturally draped his long arm over her shoulders.

Sensing his intentions, she shifted her posture and allowed his arm to slide down her shoulder and wrap around her waist. At this, Jared did not have the guts to take a step further and was satisfied by letting her watch the documentary in his arms.

Before they realized it, it was already eleven. Recalling that he still had heaps of work to deal with the next day, Ellen decided not to take up any more of his time and said, “It’s late. Let’s head upstairs to sleep!”

“Okay.” Jared nodded before adding, “Just come to me if you have any nightmares.” Ellen blinked and asked, “Really? Any time?” “Of course!” Jared’s lips curled into a smile. He didn’t mind holding her while he slept at all.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1959--Exhausted after the long day, Ellen returned to her bed after taking a bath and listening to her favorite music before she gradually drifted to sleep.

Just as the clock struck two in the morning, she heard her phone ringing in her sleep again. She opened her eyes and saw that someone was calling her again, and the number was the same one that had called her before.

After looking at the time and seeing that it was two o’clock on the dot, she was filled with anger. Knowing that someone was trying to prank her again, she took a deep breath and decided to give them a warning.

She picked up and turned on the speaker, threatening, “I don’t care who you are or where you come from, but if you keep harassing me, I’ll call the cops.”

A voice continued to sound from the other end as if it were cursing her. “Ellen, I won’t let you off easily. You’ve been surrounded by evil spirits, and the Grim Reaper will take your life soon. You’ll die a horrible, horrible death.”

Soon after, a demonic wail sounded, sending chills down her spine. The curses kept pouring in from the other end of the phone, and she hung up while gasping for air.

She thought she would be less scared if she thought of the caller as a prankster, but when she heard those voices in the middle of the night, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of terror radiating from her surroundings.

Just then, a frightened bird suddenly fluttered. out of the darkness outside the window, causing her heart to skip a beat in fear. Immediately after, her phone began to flood with text messages once again, and she knew what was being sent to her without having to look. As she closed her eyes, the pictures she saw last night involuntarily emerged in her mind.

At that moment, her phone rang again. However, she chose to turn it off instead of looking at it, but she was unable to fall asleep again. Hence, she stayed up until dawn, and it was only after she saw the morning sun that she dared to close her eyes and fall asleep. peacefully.

When the clock hit half past seven, Jared was already outside her door, but he still did not see her waking up. Deciding not to disturb her sleep, he headed to the gym instead.

Meanwhile, Ellen woke up later that morning at eleven. When she turned on her phone and took a look at the time, she hastily rushed downstairs, thinking that Jared must have left for work. However, to her surprise, he had not gone to work and was sitting on the couch and doing his work on his laptop instead.

Upon hearing the footsteps on the stairs, he turned around and looked at her in concern. “Just woke up? Did you have another nightmare?”

Ellen nodded, looking completely out of it. Jared stood up and poured a glass of warm water for her, which she accepted gratefully. Just as she was considering telling him what had happened in the past two nights, his phone rang.

Upon hearing the sound of his phone ringing, Ellen was suddenly reminded of the prank calls and clamped her mouth shut. “Can’t you turn them down?” After the person on the other end replied, he conceded helplessly, “All right.”

Upon saying that, he hung up and said to Ellen, “I have something to attend to tonight and will be coming home late. Will you be fine at home alone?”

Ellen nodded and replied breezily, “I’ll be fine.” Jared walked over and rubbed her hair, saying, “Okay, I’ll try to come back earlier.”

After Jared left for the company in the afternoon, Ellen sat next to Milkshake on the couch when her phone suddenly rang. After casting it a glance and noticing that it was an unregistered number, albeit a different one, she hesitated before turning on the speaker and answering the call.

“Ellen… Ellen…” A ghastly cry suddenly sounded from the other end, only calling out her name.

Ellen hurriedly hung up the call, tensing in fear, but she soon heard her phone chiming with a chain of notifications again. She looked at her phone. Although she chose not to be afraid, she couldn’t help but wonder to herself.

Who exactly is pranking me? Whose bad side did I get on? Even after thinking about it carefully, she could only recall the issue with Connor, but she felt that he would not try to scare her with these tactics. In that case, was it Selena or Olivia?

Ellen bit her lip, realizing that this was certainly something they would do. Outside the window, the sun was about to set. Ellen normally enjoyed this sight as she loved when the sky was getting dark, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat in fear.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 1960--As the villa was too spacious and empty except for Milkshake which was in her arms, Ellen lost her appetite for dinner and only stayed on the couch in the living room. Just then, her phone rang.

She instantly jolted in fear, but upon seeing that the call was from Jared, she let out a small sigh of relief and answered, “Hello?” “Have you eaten?”

“No. I don’t really have an appetite.” “Then I’ll come back earlier and bring some food for you.”

“Okay,’ she said gratefully. “I’ll be hanging up now.” Upon hearing the voices around him, Ellen decided not to disturb him any further and agreed. “Okay.”

After hanging up, she suddenly realized that Milkshake had disappeared. If it had escaped outside at this hour, it would be difficult to find it. “Milkshake! Where did you go, Milkshake?”

As Ellen spoke, she picked up her phone and walked toward the exit of the living room. She didn’t notice that, just inside the back cushion, there was a small tail that belonged to Milkshake swaying in the air. Milkshake was on the couch all along. “Milkshake, don’t run around. Where are you?” Ellen called out, heading outside to search for the cat.

Although the exterior of the villa was well-lit, she had been on high alert for the past few days. At this moment, she didn’t want her beloved pet to go missing, but she was too afraid to go too far either, leaving her in a dilemma.

Ellen ended up trailing into the garden as she was searching, but just then, her phone rang again. After taking a glance at her phone, she saw that it was yet another unknown number. Although the number was different, she knew that it was a prank call even without picking up.

Thus, she decided not to answer and silenced her phone as she still needed it to light her way. However, she could still feel the chilling wind sweeping around her, leaving her with no choice but to return to the living room.

Upon seeing Milkshake on the couch, she nearly burst into tears from joy and took it into her arms, not allowing it to escape again.

However, her phone continued to ring with calls, all from unknown numbers, and she soon had more than ten missed calls before she realized it. This urging was torture on her mind, leaving her with no choice but to turn off her phone.

As time slowly ticked by, the autumn breeze roared harshly as Ellen curled up on the couch.. Although her surroundings were brightly illuminated, the silence seemed even louder after she turned off her phone.

As much as she seemed fine on the surface, her mind was in disarray and dominated by terrifying memories that she couldn’t get rid of. She couldn’t help but recall some of the horrors she had heard and seen since she was a child, and she remembered vividly when she had seen a traffic accident on her way to school, the image of which still summoned a sense of dread whenever she thought of it.

At that moment, she was enshrouded by her memories, unable to get rid of them no matter how hard she tried. Her mental state slowly got chipped away bit by bit, as if she were stuck in a maze without an exit.

Just when she felt like she was about to be consumed by horror, she suddenly heard the sound of a car, and she bolted out of the entrance without a second thought. Upon seeing the handsome man striding amidst the lights, she ran toward him as if he was her lifeline.

Jared was just deep in thought about his work when he looked up and saw a figure flashing toward him. Immediately after, Ellen jumped into his arms, firmly wrapping her arms around him.

He jolted in surprise at first, but he soon sensed something off about her. She was hugging him extremely tightly as if she were afraid of something.

Jared returned her embrace and gently caressed the back of her head, asking gently, “What’s wrong?”

Just then, her phone rang again. Clearly, the prankster was not only calling her after midnight. As long as her phone was turned on, they would keep calling her.

Ellen jolted at the sound, and as she looked at her phone, Jared reached out and took her phone with his large hand, asking, “Do you want to pick it up?”

“Someone’s pranking me by scaring me through the phone,” she replied.

Hearing that, he answered the call, only to hear a harrowing cry from the other end. “Ellen Reiss, I won’t let you off easily. I’ll turn into a spirit and haunt you for the rest of your life.”

Jared’s handsome face darkened as he immediately hung up. Just as he was about to return Ellen’s phone to her, a large number of text message notifications sounded on her phone.

Seeing that he was about to open the texts, she hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t look, those are all scary pictures.”
