Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
“This b*tch! How dare she live a great life and stand on the stage with spotlights on her when. she let Lena be in prison for a year! She is ruthless!” Olivia was convinced that the lady was a nobody who couldn’t achieve anything.
Then, she refused to look at the TV anymore and went to do the laundry. However, Connor sat back and hit replay, rewinding the stream. When he saw Ellen’s first match, he sat down and observed the process. Connor was a chess lover himself, and he would always play chess by the park.
When he finished watching Ellen’s first match, he was shocked. Then, he quickly forwarded the stream to the last round. As he watched the game, he knew what Olivia said was wrong. Ellen didn’t win the match by bribing. In fact, she won fair and square.
At that moment, the host mentioned Ellen’s mentor-Brook. He was the world champion who had defeated most of the top-tier players. However, he stopped competing after a tragedy happened to his family, followed by depression.
It’s quite a surprise that he is Ellen’s mentor. No wonder Ellen is skillful, he thought.
When Olivia entered the room and saw Connor was still looking at Ellen, she was angry.
“Why are you still watching? What is there to look at?”
Hearing her words, Connor turned off the TV. At the same time, he didn’t tell Olivia that Ellen had won the championship with her own skill. After all, he didn’t want his wife to be even angrier. At this moment, his phone rang. When he took out his phone and saw who the caller was, he galloped to the balcony and answered it.
The caller was his side chick, Aida. For the past year, she treated him like trash and threatened him to give her money by using his son. If Connor refused to give her money, she would not allow him to visit his son.
Luckily for him, Olivia had not known about Connor’s affair yet. Otherwise, life would be harder for him. The most important right now was welcoming Selena, who would get out of prison in three days.
After the award ceremony, Ellen returned to the hotel with the others. Everyone was thrilled because they had returned with fruitful results.
When they had dinner together, they discussed whether they should stay and have fun in Averna before going back. Since Brook had a place he could stay for the long term, he asked Ellen, “Do you want to stay here, Ellie? You have already achieved your goal. Next, it’s time for you to find someone and start a family.”
“I still haven’t thought about it yet, Mr. Linton.” Ellen smiled. It went without saying that she was excited because winning the championship was the highlight of her life.
At that moment, the chairman of the team got a phone call. Then, he quickly said to Brook and Ellen in excitement, “Mr. Linton, Ellie, the TV station just called and wanted to invite you guys for an interview.”
When Ellen heard his words, she was shocked. Brook looked at her and asked, “Do you want to go, Ellie?”
“I…” Ellen didn’t know. She didn’t mind the cameras when she played chess. However, she would be nervous if she was being interviewed live. “Just go! Take the opportunity and be famous when you are still young!” one of them suggested.
“Yeah! What are you afraid of, Ellie? You are even more beautiful than most celebrities.” In the end, Ellen agreed to it. Since the staff from the TV station kept urging them, she and Brook would be interviewed on live TV that Friday.
At the secretary department of Presgrave Group, Stanley had finally finished his job. He decided to take a break and watched his favorite show-the chess tournament held at Averna. He had wanted to watch it but didn’t have the spare time since he had been busy the past few days.
Now, he had finished his job and was ready to enjoy himself. When he opened the VOD and saw the players’ names, he saw a person called Ellen. Before seeing the actual player, Stanley thought it was someone with the same name as Ellen. Then, he clicked on Ellen’s match.
As he clicked on the edited video, the players were seated while the cameraman gave them a close-up. At that moment, Stanley almost jumped out of his chair in shock when he saw the woman. Although the woman wore glasses, Stanley could still recognize it was Ellen!
Oh god! This is not a coincidence! She is actually Ellen! Stanley was thrilled as he thought about it. Then, he took out his phone and dialed Jared’s number, wanting to tell him about the news.
“Hello.” A tired voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Stanley decided to surprise him. After all, it wouldn’t be much fun if he directly told Jared that Ellen had taken part in the chess tournament. He wanted Jared to see it for himself!
“President Jared, I have some great news to tell you. Go and watch the chess tournament that was held in Averna when you have the time. Maybe you will find the person you have always been looking for.” “Who is it?”
“I’ll keep it a secret. Find out for yourself!” Stanley chuckled and hung up the phone.
Although he was dying to spill the beans, he still suppressed the urge. After Jared hung up the phone, Stanley texted and urged him. ‘You must go and take a look!” he wrote.
Jared sat at the back of the car. After he had ended the call with Stanley, he had another business call. It was a discussion about a recent investment proposal. Soon, Jared went back to work. When he finally returned home, it was already 9.00PM.
As soon as he entered the living room, he took off his suit, revealing a dark shirt that showed his perfect figure. Then, he walked toward the refrigerator and took out a glass of ice before retrieving a bottle of whiskey, after which he poured himself a drink.
After that, he returned to the sofa and drank some of it before closing his eyes tiredly. Suddenly, Stanley’s words flashed across his mind. Then, he took the remote control and turned on the TV.
When the TV showed the special highlight from the chess tournament, Jared scrolled through it with curiosity. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something. His eyes widened as he stared at a name.
Ellen? Why is her name on the list? Jared knew there was no mistake. It was Ellen’s name. At that moment, he returned to his senses and quickly clicked on her name to rewatch her match.
When the screen switched scenes, Ellen’s beautiful face unfolded right before his eyes. Looking at her, he stood up in bewilderment. He couldn’t believe he would find
Ellen, the woman who had disappeared for one and a half years, this way.
Ellen had changed a lot. Jared could tell that she was more mature. At the match, she wasn’t wearing anything classy, sporting a plain turtleneck, looking sharp. When the camera zoomed in on her, she didn’t cower away, looking like a porcelain doll.
Immediately, Jared grabbed his phone and dialed Stanley’s number. “Stanley.”
“Yes, Mr. Presgrave.” “How did you find her?” “It looks like you have watched it.
Except for work, I love to play chess. Hence, I knew a chess tournament would be right around the corner. Since I have nothing much to do, I watched the video and saw Miss Reiss.”
“Is… Is she still in Averna? Which hotel is she at?” Jared suppressed the excitement in his voice.
“Are you going to see her tonight, Mr. Presgrave? It’s already 10.00PM, though. Why don’t we meet her tomorrow morning?” Stanley suggested.
“Do you think I can wait until tomorrow? I want to know which hotel she stays in within ten minutes.” Jared wouldn’t give him the time to slack off.
Hearing his words, Stanley shook his head and smiled. Fortunately, he had done some. research beforehand and replied, “I have already checked that. I’ll send the address to you right away. I’m sure you know Miss Reiss is the champion, right?”
“What?” ‘Don’t you know about it?” “Really?” “Yes. I just watched her last match. It was amazing. She is truly gifted as a chess player.”
When Jared heard his words, he felt a pang in his chest. Does that mean more men will like her? Will she be popular around people? A sudden rush of jealousy surged toward his heart as he thought about the possibilities.
After a while, Stanley hung up the phone and sent him the address, including Ellen’s room number. Immediately, Jared grabbed his coat and quickly rushed to the garage.
He didn’t want to wait any longer. At that moment, all he wanted to do now was to find her and ask about her sudden departure. That was enough to make him look for her!
After Jared had got a hold of his breath, he pointed into her room and asked, “Can I come in?” “Of course.” Ellen nodded hastily. Then, Jared entered the room while Ellen closed the door and followed suit.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned around abruptly, which made her bump into him. At that moment, she frantically backed away and tripped over the carpet.
“Ah!” Ellen fell backward and was going to hit her head when Jared quickly pulled her.
Immediately, their bodies were pressed close to each other. Ellen was shocked by the sudden outcome.
Her face was pale, and she opened her lips to say something. At that moment, Jared cupped her cheeks and kissed her. In that split second, Ellen was dumbfounded. She stood there stiffly, allowing him to kiss her. After Jared pulled away, her pale face was flushed.
