Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Jared, Ellen decided to visit her uncle’s place after a brief hesitation. “Where is your home, Uncle Connor?”
“It’s not far up ahead.” “I’ll go with him. Just wait for me in the car.” Ellen turned around and looked at Jared. When she insisted, he eventually gave in and nodded in agreement, watching her walk with Connor into an alley.
In the meantime, Connor seemed relieved without Jared’s presence as he kept criticizing Selena for what she did. “What Selena did was completely unacceptable!
How could she do something like that to you? I bet she hasn’t learned her lesson despite having spent a year and a half in prison. Alas, when will she ever learn from her mistake?”
While Ellen remained silent, Connor went on to praise her, saying, “I’m happy and proud of you for winning the chess competition, Ellie. I didn’t think you had such a remarkable talent for playing chess. Your parents would be so proud of you if they knew about it.”
“How have you been lately, Uncle Connor?’ Ellen asked Connor caringly. “I’m fine, I guess. Nothing much. My life has never really changed much at all, and I have nothing to complain about. Connor tried to act tough.
However, Ellen knew that was not the case, noticing several embroidered patches on
Connor’s coat. Furthermore, the fact that Connor was living in a low-end residential area gave him away. “There is no elevator here. Just stairs. My unit is on the fifth floor,” he said.
After Ellen followed Connor to the fifth floor, the man opened the door and invited her in. Since Ellen grew up among the poor, she didn’t find the environment she was in surprising. “Come and sit here, Ellie.” Connor grabbed a cleaner chair and told her to sit on it.
At that moment, Olivia opened the door roughly and glared at Ellen hatefully. When she saw Ellen’s decent outfit and her fair skin, she couldn’t help but begrudgingly think that Ellen seemed like a daughter from a rich family indeed. However, the thought of that was what precisely stung her like a blade put through her heart.
How ironic! A few years ago, Ellen was a poor kid who struggled even to feed herself;
today, she presented herself just like a socialite, much to Olivia’s surprise and dismay..
“Olivia, how could you…” Connor was stunned by his wife’s unexpected response.
Nonetheless, Ellen only responded calmly, “Aunt Olivia, that’s between the two of you, and I wouldn’t want to be a part of it.”
Olivia was taken aback by Ellen’s response, wondering if she no longer treated them as her family. Isn’t she going to say something or stand up for me?
At the same time, Olivia was not the only one feeling surprised, for Connor couldn’t believe his eyes either. After all, Ellen’s indifference suggested that she was probably growing apart from them, indicating that she might not get along with them anymore in the future.
“Take me back to the car, would you, Uncle Connor?” Ellen asked. Sensing her reluctance to stay any longer, Connor opened the door for her and walked her downstairs. Then, Ellen took a card out of her pocket and said, “Here is 145,000. The password is triple six triple six.”
“Ellen…” Connor was touched, feeling guilty about what he did to Ellen back then when she could have repaid him with retaliation instead of kindness.
“Say no more, Uncle Connor. Take good care of yourself,” Ellen responded. Deep down, she only decided to help Connor because he was her uncle; she wasn’t concerned about the others. “Alright, I know my way out from here.” Ellen walked away upon finishing her sentence.
At that moment, tears of regret were rolling in Connor’s eyes, but he didn’t continue to follow Ellen any further, feeling ashamed of what he did to his own niece.
Nevertheless, he was grateful for Ellen’s kindness when she lent him a helping hand in his desperate moments.
After all, Connor found his back against the wall when he couldn’t find a job due to his age. Although he tried interviewing for a position as a security guard earlier, he was rejected almost immediately because he was deemed too old for the role.
Soon, Ellen walked out of the alley and was immediately able to see a tall silhouette waiting for her amidst the chilly breeze. While the man was standing outside the car, his bodyguards each took a corner and stood guard. At the sight of that, Ellen felt a stab of pain in her heart and wished Jared had waited for her in the car instead.
Come on! What’s he doing outside the car? Doesn’t he know how cold it is out here?
In fact, the bodyguards wouldn’t have allowed Jared to wait outside the car and risk catching a cold, but since Jared insisted, they had no choice but to give in.
Soon, Ellen came running Jared’s way just as the man walked closer to her. However, a cyclist suddenly appeared on her left, shocking Jared just when she fell in his arms in time.
Although she bumped her face against the man’s firm chest, a delighted smile showed on her face. “What’s so funny? Do you know how worried I am about you?” Jared pinched Ellen’s nose.
Tm fine, aren’t I?” Ellen curled her lips upward and seized Jared’s hands, which were freezing cold. “Why didn’t you wait for me in the car? You shouldn’t have waited for me outside.”
“I knew you wouldn’t stay long.” Knowing Ellen, Jared believed she would be back as soon as she did what she wanted to, which was why he decided to wait for her outside the car.
Ellen seized the man’s hand and said, “Let’s get in the car before you catch a cold.”
After Jared wrapped his arm around Ellen’s shoulder and entered the car with her, the motorcade disappeared on the road in the cold winter
Because of that, Olivia would have to bear with her stigmatized marriage for the rest of her life, no matter how much she hated it. “Let’s go home, Selena.” Olivia decided to do everything she could to shape her daughter’s future.
Meanwhile, Connor didn’t tell his family about the money he received from Ellen even after they returned home from the police station. Deep down, he was planning to find a job while keeping the money until any unforeseen circumstances arose.
On the other hand, Selena eventually learned from her mistake after she was nearly sentenced to jail twice. Also, she began to realize that she could never retaliate against Ellen of whom she was jealous for having a good life.
I can only live my life well by forgetting Ellen. Although Selena was still jealous of
Ellen, she was unwilling to risk her future by dragging the latter down anymore.
A week later, the couple spent their vacation on a warm and cozy island. At the same time, the woman, who was seizing the man’s arm, wore an elegant outfit with a floral skirt. As the cooling breeze blew, the lady rested her head on the man’s shoulder lovingly.
While enjoying their vacation, the couple treasured every minute they spent together as if they were in a world where there were just the two of them. Upon spending half a month on the island, Jared and Ellen grew closer to each other than ever before as they indulged in their romantic life despite what the others thought of them.
After all, Jared had done everything he was supposed to for Ellen, from walking with her by the beach and arranging private swimming lessons for her to presenting a firework show. that was specially meant for her. In fact, the firework show that lasted for nearly two hours was the most exciting part that got every tourist spellbound.
While the fireworks lit up the whole sky, Ellen rested in Jared’s arms on a yacht not far away, sipping her red wine and enjoying the show that was prepared for her.
However, their vacation was about to come to an end, and Ellen realized it was time for Jared to get back to work. Furthermore, she knew it was also a good time for them to return to their country since spring had arrived after winter.
Therefore, they boarded a private jet and flew off the island. By the time they landed, it was already in the afternoon. Ellen was glad and relieved to see the familiar city view in front of her.
As soon as she got into the car, she dozed off almost immediately. When she opened her eyes again, she realized it was already the evening and found herself in the house that Jared had specially readied for her. She then stretched her back just before the man gently seized her hand.
“Here we are, finally home. Get a good rest.” Jared spoke to Ellen while their bodyguards took their luggage into the house. When it was dinner time, the two of them made themselves something simple instead of eating out.
After all, they were happy and content as long as they could be together. At 8.00PM,
Jared heard his phone ringing and checked it out, whereupon. he walked closer to the window and answered it. “Hello?”
“Mr. Presgrave, the documents for the bid are ready. When would you be free to swing by the office, Sir?” ‘I’ll be there tomorrow morning.”
“Sure. By the way, I have some news for you. The Quins Group from Hogland has appeared to show some interest in this project like never before. For that, we believe they’re going to be a potential rival sooner or later. Thus, I suggest that we prioritize looking into this company.”
“Alright, just leave the details about this company on my desk in my office by tomorrow.” Jared quickly hung up the call. He didn’t want to talk about work in front of
Ellen, refusing to pressure her with it.
