Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Soon, a link was sent to Selena’s phone. She immediately clicked on it to check what Lulu was talking about. Before she got to read the article, she already saw a few photos of Ellen and Lambert together at the entrance of the hospital. They seemed like they were in love.
“Damn it, Ellen! You managed to seduce Mr. Orey.” Selena was jealous and annoyed. She had to admit Ellen knew a thing or two about seducing men.
Her gaze soon turned cold as she sneered. Is she betraying Young Master Jared? I’m sure he would be mad if he knew how soon she got tangled up with another man!
Both of them are men who are probably favored by the Big Man above. Ellen might let go of the big fish for the small one and may end up getting nothing in the end! Ha!
While Selena let her thoughts run, she scrolled through her phone to look for Jared’s private number which she secretly photographed last time to send the link to him.
Thinking that Jared wouldn’t find her at busybody, she found the number and sent him. the link. It’s only a matter of time before Ellen is taught a lesson and abandoned! Selena looked forward to how Ellen would end up.
Ellen was someone who didn’t enjoy the Internet much. Because of that, she was still completely unaware of the scandal between herself and Lambert at the moment.
In a luxurious villa, a man who just came back from the gym picked up his phone and glanced at it habitually, only to see a message sent to him from an unfamiliar number.
His phone could filter out spam messages. In other words, the incoming messages he got were usually sent by people who knew his private number. He then clicked on this message and a sentence appeared. ‘Young Master Jared, there’s a scandal about your girlfriend. Check it out!’
Jared immediately pulled his eyebrows together into a deep frown. Despite not knowing who sent the message, he still couldn’t help clicking on the link. Soon, photos of Ellen and Lambert filled up the screen of his phone. His eyes quickly narrowed at the sight of it.
He took a look at the title above and then gazed at the photos before he read the article. From there, he learned that Lambert had appeared at the hospital with his girlfriend, and the media. also wrote about how the couple might have gone to the hospital for some kind of surgery.
Jared’s chest rose and fell erratically after he went through the article. This made his heart palpitate even more than the workout he just did. Why was Ellen with Lambert? What were they doing at the hospital?
It irked him to see Ellen and Lambert looking at each other smilingly in one of the photos. He got jealous every time she smiled at a man who wasn’t him.
To understand what exactly happened, Jared gave Ellen a call without any hesitation. He was someone who didn’t like to drag matters out. If he had any questions, he would ask them on the spot.
Ellen was sprawled out on her couch reading a book when she heard her phone’s ringtone go off. She swiftly took a glance at it. Jared? she wondered. Why is he calling me?
“Hi, President Presgrave!” Out of habit, she called him like an employee would their superior.
“Where did you go today? You told me this morning that you don’t have time in the afternoon. Were you with someone?” The man was in full-on interrogation mode.
She was taken aback for a second, but she soon replied truthfully, “I went to my uncle’s birthday banquet in the afternoon. I came home not long ago.” “Are you sure you only went to the birthday banquet? You weren’t with other men?”
Of course, Ellen didn’t take her being with Lambert too seriously, so she replied without thinking, “Nope!” “Ellen…” Jared’s voice sank as he growled, “I don’t like being lied to.”
She only blinked. She didn’t understand why he suddenly grew serious. I… I’m not lying. I only went to my uncle’s birthday banquet this afternoon.
“Then what’s with your rendezvous with Lambert? You even went to the hospital together? Why didn’t you get me to go with you if you weren’t feeling well?” He finally couldn’t stop his jealousy from showing.
It was only then that a lightbulb went off for Ellen. She was equally taken aback as well. “H- How did you know that Lambert and I went to the hospital?”
He didn’t answer her question as he muttered, “I want an explanation.”
“I can explain! Lambert and I did go to the hospital together, but that was only because her was injured when he helped me. I accompanied him to the hospital to get him patched up.” “Help you? Did something happen to you?”
Jared asked with a frown. His concern for her was stronger than his jealousy. Ellen tried her best to organize her words before answering him. “So, what happened was, I went to my uncle’s birthday banquet. I left at about 1.00PM, which was also when I received a call from Lambert. The call went on for not even a minute when a robber took my phone
I chased the thief all the way to an exit at the park, and that was when I suddenly met Lambert. He snatched my phone back for me and was hurt by the robber in the process. We went to the hospital after that.”
Jared, who was quick on the uptake, immediately took note of the main point. “Why does he have your number? When did you give it to him?”
“No, I didn’t. My cousin was the one who gave it to him without my permission,’ she blurted out an explanation. “My cousin is the reason all of this happened. She has Lambert’s number and she made him think that I wanted to know him. H-He called me because of that.”
“Then how could he have coincidentally appeared on the very road you were chasing after the robber?” Jared asked again.
Ellen was sitting on the couch when she solemnly explained like never before. “I asked him about this too. He said that he called my cousin and found out that I was in this park. He happened to be nearby anyway, so he came over.
And yes, it really was a coincidence that he bumped into the robber. He took my phone back for me, but he got hurt in return. Please believe me. Lambert and I really met by chance. If it wasn’t for him, I could have been hurt event if I caught up with the robber. I am grateful for him.”
Jared was still upset even after hearing all that.. He was skeptical to believe that such. coincidences were possible.
“Fine. I want you to give me your answer now. Will you be my girlfriend?” he demanded. He would never have peace of mind if he was not sure about his position in her heart. “Huh?” the woman choked.
“What’s the matter? Are you going to reject me and be with Lambert?” Sure enough, Jared was consumed by his jealousy. His mood only took a turn for the worse when he heard Ellen’s surprised tone.
“No, no. That’s not what I mean, Ellen quickly explained. “Then what do you mean? Is it so hard to say yes to being my girlfriend?” “That’s not it either…” She blinked. I haven’t actually given it a thought.
“I’m counting down from ten. Make your decision!” After saying that, the man at the other end of the call slumped against his couch. His dark eyebrows were furrowed as he solemnly began to count. “Ten, nine, eight-
Left dumbfounded, Ellen couldn’t think at all. due to his words. She couldn’t think about anything else when he was threateningly counting the numbers. “Seven, six, five-”
“Alright, alright!” She cut him off. “I’ll be your girlfriend, so please stop counting!” Her head felt like it was about to burst from the pressure.
“So, you are agreeing because I’m forcing you, huh? You’re not agreeing willingly!” The man suddenly sounded grumpy again. Ellen had to take a moment before she softened her tone. “No… I’m saying this out of my own free will.”
“Delete Lambert’s number,’ a certain man demanded. “Don’t take any more of his calls.”
“Alright, I’ll delete it.” She was as docile as a lamb.
“You are not allowed to like anyone but me from now on.” Jared teased her even more when he saw how obedient she was.
Ellen had to hold her laughter in. She thought that domineering dialogues like this only existed in novels, but there was a real man who was as childish and forceful as fictional characters!
However, she knew that it was indeed because of what happened between her and Lambert today that made Jared jealous. And so, she cooperatively answered him, “Alright, I promise.” ‘Let’s have dinner together later.”
“Tonight?” she absentmindedly repeated. “You’re not allowed to say no.” The man was too jealous for his own good. “Sure, let’s have dinner together.” Ellen didn’t refuse because she didn’t know what she wanted to eat tonight.
Seeing how obedient she was, Jared couldn’t bear bullying her anymore. He wanted to hear her confess her feelings on the phone, but he soon decided it would be more meaningful if she said it to his face tonight. “Mhm. I’m hanging up.”
After the man finished speaking, he made a call to his assistant, Stanley. “Get rid of all the gossip about Ellen and Lambert on the Internet.” He gave a straightforward order.
“Yes, sir.” At the same time, after Selena drove home, she sat on the couch with her bag and started to check the scandal online. However, the page returned to the homepage when she clicked on the link again. The entire page regarding the scandal couldn’t be found anymore..
“What’s going on?” She stubbornly continued to type in Lambert’s name on the search entry, but only some news on his participation in some activities appeared. The news about him and Ellen had disappeared.
She quickly called her friend and asked if she could find it.
