Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
“Judging by the situation, I think they are.” Maggie was happy, as she no longer had to worry about her eldest daughter since Queenie was such a lucky person to have met Nigel. For now, she only had to worry about her younger daughter’s future.
“Mom, do you really think that our family can match up to the Manson Family? What if Young Master Nigel is only playing her?” Bonnie asked worriedly.
Truth be told, Maggie was also worried about that matter, for she did not want her daughter to fall for an ungrateful person either. With a frown, she stated, “I will tell Queenie to be more alert. If he is playing with her feelings, then she should stop this relationship and not let it ruin her life.”
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll help Queenie keep a lookout as well.” Bonnie smiled.
Assuming that it was a kind gesture, Maggie grinned approvingly. “That’s good! This is how sisters are meant to be; always loving, helping, and thinking about each other.”
At about 9.00AM next morning, Courtney heard the doorbell ring before she went to open the door. It was then she saw Leslie standing there with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
“Mr. Payne, you’re here so early!”
Although Leslie still had a bandaid on his face, he looked to be in high spirits as he dressed up handsomely. He held the flowers in his arms, came into the house, and entered the dining room.
Brandon had left early in the morning whereas Bonnie and Queenie had just finished their breakfast while Maggie was instructing the servants about something.
Just as Bonnie was about to head upstairs, she heard footsteps coming from the entrance and turned her head to see Leslie walking in with a bouquet of flowers. Her expression immediately turned disdainful and she rolled her eyes. “Leslie, didn’t I make myself clear? I told you to never come-
However, before she could finish, she saw him walking toward the couch with the flowers and knelt on one knee before the couch where Queenie was sitting. “Queenie, please accept these flowers. They are a token of my gratitude.”
Queenie was stunned for a few seconds. Is Leslie giving me flowers? What’s going on?
“Leslie, you’ve got the wrong person!” She frowned.
On the other hand, Bonnie also wondered if Leslie had hit his eye in the car accident yesterday. Otherwise, why was he unable to differentiate between Queenie and herself?
Although Bonnie had given up on him, watching him present flowers to her sister made her feel uncomfortable.
“No, I’ve got you right. This flower is meant for you, Queenie. I apologize for all the hurt I’ve brought to you. Please forgive me.” Leslie felt like he had been reborn and did not even spare Bonnie a glance since he came in.
Meanwhile, Bonnie bit her red lips as she looked disbelievingly at what had happened. Did Leslie just ignore me and is now confessing his love for Queenie?
“Leslie, I heard that you got into an accident yesterday. Where are you hurt?” Bonnie took the initiative to ask about his well-being and walked toward the couch.
As the man turned his head to look at her, his eyes were no longer filled with affection anymore; instead, there was only coldness. “I don’t need your sympathy.”
“I’m sorry. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have left you behind and caused you to get into an accident.” While saying so, Bonnie was shooting him with eyes full of grievances. Back then, she only had to frown a little and Leslie would buy her gifts to coax her.
At first, she thought that Leslie would still care about her feelings like he always did. Yet, she only heard him snort lightly. “I was blind. How could I have left such a good woman like Queenie and get seduced by a heartless woman like you?”
“Excuse me. Did you say I’m heartless? How am I heartless?” Bonnie refused to admit that.
Watching them about to get into a heated argument, Queenie wanted to leave as she stood up and said, “You guys go on. I’ll be in my room.”
However, Leslie grabbed her wrist as soon as she rose to her feet. “Queenie, don’t leave.”
Immediately, she withdrew her hand and warned, “Don’t touch me.”
Despite being given the cold shoulder, Leslie did not show any displeasure. On the contrary, he smiled and offered, “Since we can’t be lovers, can we be friends?”
Bonnie’s eyes were wide with shock. Has Leslie fallen for Queenie?
Clearly, Queenie did not want to have anything to do with him, so she went upstairs, but Leslie had no intentions of leaving either. Meanwhile, Bonnie sat on the couch and pretended to be aggrieved.
She wanted to test Leslie’s reaction because she did not believe that he would forget about her overnight. In fact, she was confident that her charms could keep him around.
As soon as she noticed he had turned his head to look at her, her eyes reddened. “I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t want to hurt you last night. I was mad.”
However, she did not know that the car accident from last night almost killed Leslie. After the near- death experience, he finally understood that the most important thing in the world was not outer beauty but having a conscience.
“We’re done. All I want to do now is to compensate for what I’ve done to Queenie,” he stated.
“Leslie, have you forgotten how she brought Nigel to dinner last night and humiliated you? I don’t recall seeing her being sad about that!” Bonnie snorted lightly and argued.
At that moment, Leslie received a call before he answered it while rising to his feet. “Has everything been sent over?”
Then, he quickened his pace out the door. Bonnie involuntarily got up and stood before the French window, wondering what he sent over. As he was from a well-off family and was not a stingy person, the gifts he had given her throughout the six months they were together might have exceeded a few hundred thousand.
Soon after that, she saw him returning with three employees from a jewelry store. They were wearing gloves as they carefully drew out four sets of jewelry from the suitcases they had brought.
The sun was shining down on them, making the jewelry dazzle ravishingly, and every piece made
Bonnie’s heart skip a beat. These four sets of jewelry must have cost at least a hundred thousand!When has Leslie become so generous?
“Mr. Payne, the jewelry you ordered has arrived. Please sign here.”
“Very well. I’ll contact you if there’s any issues.” Leslie nodded as he sat down on the couch.
Once the jewelry store employees had left, Bonnie quickly sat down beside him and pointed at one of the necklaces. “Leslie, the dress I ordered just happens to need a matching necklace! Can you give me this one?”
“You see these four sets of jewelry? Well, none of them are yours and you can stop dreaming about it. These are all for Queenie.” After finishing his words, he shut the jewelry boxes and carried them upstairs.
Bonnie, who was left alone in the living room, narrowed her eyes and secretly stomped her feet. As expected, one never knew what they had until they lost it. At this point, she realized that she was now more attracted to Leslie than before.
Yet, the man only had eyes for her sister now.
On the other hand, Queenie was passing the time in her room by flipping through books. She was waiting for the clock to strike 11.00AM so that she could leave for her date with Nigel. Unexpectedly, someone knocked on her door.
“Queenie, open up. I have something to tell you.” The sound of Leslie’s voice rang from the outside.
Frowning, she wondered why he had yet to leave. She wanted to ignore him, but he would knock on her door every few seconds, which annoyed her. Thus, she got up and opened the door to see him carrying a few jewelry boxes in his arms.
‘Queenie, why don’t you have a look at these and see if you like them? I picked them out especially for you.” Leslie clumsily unlatched the first jewelry box to show her the contents.
However, Queenie merely swept her gaze over the jewelry before looking back at him. “Leslie, I’m telling you, don’t bother me ever again. We can’t even be friends, let alone be lovers, so please leave my house.”
Leslie pursed his lips. Of course, it did not feel good to be rejected, but the usually proud and arrogant man was humbled at this moment. He reasoned with her while hugging those jewelry boxes to his chest. “If you want me to leave, sure, I’ll leave, but you have to accept these. I’ve hurt you so much, so I must compensate for it.”
