Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
“They have been pestering me to get married for a long time now and they’re worried I might not be able to find a wife! I didn’t bring you back home before because I was afraid that they might scare you away with their enthusiasm.”
Queenie burst out laughing. “How could they be worried about you not finding a wife? You’re such an excellent person.”
After sighing, Nigel explained, “Maybe because I was waiting for you.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she suddenly felt grateful to Bonnie for stealing Leslie. Otherwise, she would have missed an amazing man like Nigel because of the marriage her family had promised.
However, she still felt that she was not fully prepared to meet his parents, so Nigel did not pressure her on that. Anyway, his parents would not arrange any more blind dates for him now that they knew he had a girlfriend.
On the other hand, Brandon was also delighted by today’s event. It was the first time he had landed such a large project with such ease! Moreover, he had just witnessed his daughter’s confidence and thought that if he handed over the company to her, she would be able to make the right decisions and seize the chance to push the company to greater heights.
As for Bonnie, Brandon only wished for her to have a happy and fulfilling life. When it was time for her to get married, he would prepare a significant amount of dowry for her so that she wouldn’t have to worry about money for the rest of her life.
However, Brandon was wrong, for Bonnie would not be satisfied with only a hefty dowry, wanting the entire Silverstein Family inheritance instead. Even if she couldn’t get it all, she had to have half of it.
Originally, Nigel wanted to accompany Queenie for dinner, but he had a meeting coming up and had to return to the company. Therefore, the two parted and went on with their own businesses. Having gone through this jealous and angry occasion, the two now clearly understood their feelings and knew how much they loved each other.
Nigel was driving toward his company when his phone rang, and when he looked, he saw that it was Elliot, whom he had not contacted for quite a while.
“Hey, Elliot.”
“Aunt Brenda said you got a girlfriend. This isn’t a joke, right?” Elliot’s deep voice sounded from the phone.
Because Nigel had lied to them with this excuse many times, of course, they wouldn’t believe him when he said he was seeing someone, which made him at a loss for what to say. “I’m not lying. I really do have a girlfriend. I’ll bring her to meet you guys later.”
At that moment, the cries of a young child came from the other end, followed by an incoherent voice. “Daddy…”
Nigel immediately felt his heart soften. “Hey! My little niece, your voice sounds so cute!”
“She’s such a clingy child.” Elliot’s voice was filled with affection as he said that.
“I’m so jealous! Elliot, I want a daughter that is as cute as Willy.” While thinking of the last time he visited his niece, Nigel couldn’t get the image of the chubby child with the smell of baby shampoo out of his mind. She was exceptionally cute, and he was so jealous that he was drooling.
“So, you’d better quicken your pace! Give birth to a younger sibling to play with Willow.” After saying that, Elliot turned to his daughter and asked, “How about it, Willow?”
Then there was more incoherent baby talk before Elliot’s voice could be heard again.” Alright then, let’s talk again later. I need to watch over my daughter.”
“Elliot, don’t tell me you’re still working at home!” Nigel asked, feeling curious. The last time he visited Elliot, he discovered that Elliot had basically moved his office back home, and the reason was simple. His cute and clingy niece couldn’t leave her daddy. She would bawl her eyes out whenever she saw Elliot leave.
Therefore, Elliot had been settling his work matters at home to take care of his daughter.
“Yes! For half a year, I won’t be going to the company if there aren’t any important matters and will be working at home. Willow is too clingy.” When saying that, Elliot’s voice was full of adoration and pride.
“Alright then! I’ll swing by to visit my two nephews someday and bring them out to play.”
“Sure, and I’ll be waiting for your good news.” Elliot finished his words and hung up.
Then, Nigel couldn’t help but start imagining what his and Queenie’s child would look like.
Will my child look like me? As he thought of that, a smile appeared on his lips, which looked quite idiotic.
At the Presgrave Residence, under the sunset, a young boy happily played soccer on the grass patch when a chubby figure shakily walked over from the hall. At one year and two months, the child had dense, short hair that reached her ears. A slight breeze blew, messing up her hair a little, adding even more cuteness to her chubby and round face.
Her small limbs that resembled lotus roots and round face were obvious signs that she was a chubby kid, but her big black eyes that looked like black grapes and her small nose and lips made her look as pretty as a doll.
“Jared…” The child was waving her small arms as she wobbly made her way toward her older brother, and behind her came a handsome and composed man in a casual shirt. His every move exuded a mighty temperament.
The small and chubby child before him only reached his knees.
“Daddy.” The child wanted to head over and play with her brother and turned around to hug one of her daddy’s legs, indicating that she wanted him to hug her.
Elliot embraced his daughter and walked toward his son. The president of Presgrave Group had now become a responsible and professional stay-at-home dad. Ever since the birth of his daughter, he had been hands-on with everything, which left Anastasia with the sole task of feeding her.
Also, after her pregnancy, Anastasia enjoyed working even more, so she let her husband take care of their daughter and began enjoying the happiness that working had brought her.
After the birth of his children, Elliot’s days were summarized into two things: work and pampering his daughter. As for Jared, he also doted on his younger sister a lot. The father-son duo’s hobby had now become being at Willow’s beck and call.
At that moment, a red sports car drove in from outside, and the woman who came down from it had dense, long hair that was messed up by the wind. She then tidied up her hair and revealed an exquisitely beautiful face. Her face, which used to have a little baby fat, had now become smooth and sharp, adding an elegant and attractive feel to her whole figure.
The three on the grass patch looked over at the same time. Whenever Elliot saw his wife, he felt his heart pounding, like during their first meeting. Meanwhile, the young child in his embrace had already stuck out her hands in excitement, asking for a hug from her mommy.
However, Jared was the first to run over and hug his mommy’s waist, and then he saw his daddy bringing his younger sister over. For Anastasia, the happiest thing after coming home from work was to have her family greet her.
She first planted a kiss on her son’s cheek before walking over to pull her daughter into her embrace. She planted two kisses on her daughter’s small cheeks and felt Elliot’s arms snake around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. When Anastasia raised her head, the man’s thin lips chased after hers and planted a kiss on her lips. They had always restrained their affectionate actions when their children were around.
“Sweetheart, welcome home.” Elliot kissed her crown.
Since Anastasia began working, she felt more relaxed compared to her hard-working husband, who had to look after their children at home. While lowering her head, she smiled and asked Willow, “Willow, were you well-behaved today?”
As if she could understand the question, the child scrunched her nose and pouted her small lips while acting coquettishly in her mommy’s embrace by rubbing her head against her mommy’s body.
Elliot caressed his daughter’s head and noticed that Anastasia was wearing high heels. Although Willow was only one year and two months old, she wasn’t particularly light. She was already over twenty-eight pounds and was a genuinely chubby baby. It was mainly because Willow could greatly absorb the nutrients from her nutritious diet, plus that Anastasia kept her daughter on breast milk until she turned one year old.
As the sunset’s rays shone down on the family of four, they looked like a lovely family.
At the dinner table in the Silverstein Residence, Maggie had prepared a table full of delectable dishes, and Brandon had retrieved the wine he had kept for a few years and was reluctant to drink. Judging from her father’s behavior, Bonnie could tell right after Brandon came home that he was in an excellent mood.
However, this realization made her feel gloomy because her father’s good mood must be related to Queenie! As she expected, a while after they began eating, Brandon told everyone about the important project they had landed today and praised Queenie along the way.
“Queenie, you were so great today. You helped the company land a 1.5 billion project within one day.”
Hearing the compliment, Queenie smiled humbly. “Dad, you don’t have to be so worked up about this.”
Maggie was also surprised to hear that. “Really? Queenie, you’re such a capable person! You’ve already landed such a huge project right after joining the company.”
Meanwhile, Bonnie felt like she had suffered an invisible blow as she glared at Queenie, unable to hide the jealousy in her heart. No wonder Dad is so happy. So, she did make a huge contribution.
“Mom, it’s a landscaping project under Mason Group, and our company just happened to have a landscaping construction service, so we decided to go for it, and Nigel agreed to let us have this project.”
