Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
“Mom, something must’ve happened between Queenie and Young Master Nigel. Maybe he mistreated her.” Bonnie wanted nothing more than for the couple to sever ties, which was why she said that to Maggie.
Hearing that, Maggie became lost in her thoughts. Did he mistreat Queenie? She then approached the small door in the courtyard and a victorious smile appeared on Bonnie’s face. Ha! Finally, Queenie and Nigel are having a dispute! I must take this opportunity to break them up entirely.
As they expected, the person standing outside the door was Nigel, who greeted them through the gate, “Good evening, Mrs. Silverstein. Is Queenie home?”
“Queenie is still out meeting a client with her dad! Is there anything important you must see her for?” Maggie asked probingly.
“Oh, so she’s not home yet! I thought she would’ve already been home at this hour.” Disappointment filled Nigel’s heart, but he also felt distressed for her. Is she that busy right after taking over the company?
“Young Master Nigel, you and Queenie aren’t engaged yet. Aren’t you afraid that others might feel jealous or badmouth Queenie because you came to her house at such a late hour?” Bonnie was stirring the pot.
“Bonnie, stop it.” Maggie glared at her and chastised her.
“I didn’t say anything wrong.” Bonnie pouted her red lips.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll visit her tomorrow. I tried calling her, but she wouldn’t pick up, so I’m worried about her.”
“She’s with her father. What are you so worried about?” Bonnie’s tone was stern. It was the first time she dared speak so rudely to Nigel.
Anyway, she stopped hoping that he would fall in love with her, so she did not bother being polite to him as a result.
“Enough, Bonnie. Stop that. Young Master Nigel, Queenie is currently with my husband, so there’s nothing that should concern you. Have a good rest!”
At that moment, Bonnie whispered into Maggie’s ears, “Mom, I just saw Queenie crying. Why don’t you head back and talk to her? In case she does something irrational.”
Hearing that, Maggie became anxious and said to Nigel, “Young Master Nigel, please see yourself out.”
Soon, she turned around and went back inside, leaving Bonnie alone. Subsequently, Bonnie called out to the departing man. “Young Master Nigel, wait a minute. I have something to tell you.”
That made Nigel frown. Although he did not like Bonnie, she was still Queenie’s younger sister, so he reserved some respect for her. “Miss Bonnie, what would you like to say to me?” he asked through the gate.
“Actually, Queenie’s home, but she doesn’t want to see you.” She acted as if she told him that because she was trying to be nice. She was eager to know what had happened between them.
“She’s home?” He was surprised, but it soon turned into sadness. She’s home, but why doesn’t she want to see me?
“Yes. Queenie said she didn’t want to see you and asked Mom to send you away. Did you mistreat her in any way?” Bonnie questioned.
With narrowed eyes, Nigel racked his brain but could not decipher how he had angered Queenie. We just kissed last night!
“Bonnie, please open the door. I need to head in and talk to Queenie.”
However, Bonnie shook her head while explaining, “But Queenie said not to open the door. She would hate me to death if I disobeyed her.”
“Bonnie, I’m begging you.” Nigel was desperate to look for Queenie and explain everything.
It was then that Bonnie unlocked the door. “Young Master Nigel, go ahead! It’s better to clarify things face to face.” Then, she trailed after the anxious man and waited for a good show.
In the meantime, Queenie had already left her room and was sitting on the couch. A distressed Maggie was in the middle of asking her what had happened when she saw her daughter’s red eyes. It seemed that she had been paying too much attention to Bonnie and had neglected Queenie, which she felt inherently guilty about.
Assuming that Nigel must have already left, Queenie suddenly became even more disheartened. She pursed her lips, and tears were encircling her eyes when she saw the door open before a figure dashed in.
Her eyes widened scarcely as she sprang to her feet in anger. How did he get in?
Meanwhile, Maggie could not help but be frustrated at Bonnie for letting him in. Jeez! Queenie is still upset!
“Young Master Nigel, Queenie isn’t in a good mood and doesn’t wish to see you. Please leave.” She took a few steps forward, attempting to block him from entering the room.
At the same time, Nigel was shocked by Queenie’s teary eyes. Looking at the sad and resentful gaze she was throwing at him, he felt as if someone was gripping his heart and rendering his breathing difficult.
“Queenie, what’s the matter?” Since Maggie was blocking his way, he could only stand in the hall and look at Queenie. At this moment, his identity did not matter because Maggie would not let him approach her at all.
“Go away! I don’t want to see you.” Queenie turned her back away as she did not want him to see this vulnerable side of her. Rather, she intently chased him away. “Don’t come to me ever again. I never want to see you anymore!”
Meanwhile, Bonnie stood behind Nigel while enjoying the free-ticket show. She did not expect Queenie would hate him to the point that she never wanted to see him again. What did Nigel do to anger her to this point? There’s only one thing that would make a woman this sad—he cheated on her.
Remembering the words Queenie refuted so confidently last time, Bonnie revealed a satisfying smirk. Guess who’s the clown now? Boohoo!
“Queenie, let’s talk this out. What happened? H-How did I hurt you?” Nigel felt like he would not be able to decipher the situation even if he had ten brains. Of course, he would not be able to. How on earth could he have known that Queenie was at the restaurant when he was at the dinner party?
“Young Master Nigel, my daughter is not in a good mood at the moment, so please leave. You should talk about this later!” Maggie stared at Nigel sternly as she spoke in an unwelcoming way.
She would never allow anyone to harm her daughter.
“Young Master Nigel, I told you that Queenie doesn’t want to see you, yet you insisted on coming in. Look what’s happened!” Bonnie added a snarky remark from the side.
At that point, Nigel was so anxious that he tightened his fists. This was the first time he felt a dull pain in his chest because of a woman. While looking at Queenie’s back, he thought that receiving a beating or scolding was better than being given the cold shoulder.
“If I did anything wrong, you could hit me or yell at me if that makes you feel better. Can we just talk this out?” He was reluctant to leave.
“There’s nothing to talk about between us.” At that moment, Queenie turned around to face him. Her eyes were red, but her gaze was firm. “It was my fault for thinking you were different.”
Yes. It’s my fault for not seeing through him. I thought he was different, but it turns out that any man will be the same as Leslie. He was just better at hiding it from me, and I was lucky to have witnessed him having a date with another woman.
“I…” Nigel had always been good with words, but he was now speechless as he was out of ideas to convince Queenie to talk to him.
“Young Master Nigel, please leave! Do you still not understand? Queenie doesn’t like you anymore.” Bonnie’s words added insult to injury.
“Bonnie, send Young Master Nigel out. Or else, we’ll call the cops,” Maggie reprimanded.
“Mrs. Silverstein, I’ll leave. I don’t have any ill intentions. I’ll just come back tomorrow,” Nigel explained hurriedly while looking at Queenie with reluctant eyes. He took two steps back before taking his leave, after which Bonnie followed behind to send him out.
“Young Master Nigel, do you know why Queenie is mad at you?” she yelled at his back.
Turning his head to face her, he asked, “Do you know?”
“Perhaps she fell in love with another man! You might not be the prince charming she’s looking for.” Bonnie wanted to make him feel as if he was being despised.
“That’s impossible,” he retorted her calmly.
