Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
After seeing it for such a long time, I just took an interest in it.” Ellen used to think of it as a hobby. However, after encountering Brook, he encouraged her, which made her work hard for it and go to the rank match.
“That’s great, praised Jared earnestly as he looked over at her. Ellen was glad to hear that, but she replied humbly, “Thank you, I’ll continue to treat my hobby as my career and further develop it.”
“You have my support.” He then looked at her with a deep gaze. “I’ll support you in whatever you do in the future.”
Ellen blushed upon hearing that; she wasn’t sure whether he was offering support as a friend or as someone beyond that. “Why did you post such a comment on social media?” Ellen asked. “I’m speaking the truth. Is there anything wrong. with it?”
“But we…”
“Do you think that you aren’t my girlfriend anymore just because we have been separated for a year? We haven’t officially broken up, you know.” Jared spoke in displeasure.
Ellen’s face flushed red and became hot instantly when she heard his remarks. She wound the car window down to get some air, not knowing how to answer him. After a brief pause, she replied shyly, “Alright!”
Upon hearing her reply, Jared smiled since it was the answer he wanted from her.
“What about you? Have you been in contact with any guys in the past year?”
Jared started fussing about it since he wanted to know how she felt about him.
“Nope.” She shook her head. ‘Did anyone try courting you?” he asked again.
This time round, she didn’t shake her head but replied honestly, “Yeah, but I rejected his advances.” “In the future, you should announce that you are taken. Jared scoffed, still feeling jealous about it. “Don’t be so domineering!” She chuckled.
“Do you blame me for not looking for you the past year?” he asked again. “I don’t.”
She shook her head. After all, she had written to Jared and told him not to look for her to give her some space and freedom.
“I knew that you’d be back. I had a feeling that you’d return for sure.’ He revealed to her his thoughts in the past year. The reason he didn’t go looking for her was that he was waiting for her to return.
Tears welled up in her eyes upon hearing that. Does he really think that way? “After dinner, I’ll bring you somewhere. You’ll love it.” “Where is it?” she asked curiously.
“You’ll find out later on.”
As soon as they reached the upscale steakhouse, which was Ellen’s favorite restaurant, she told him about the house she had gotten in town. It came with a garden, which was how she imagined her dream house to be
“If there’s a chance, I’d like to go take a look. Perhaps I’ll even stay a few nights there.” He was already looking forward to it. “Sure!” She welcomed the idea.
It was only 8.30PM when their dinner ended. Following that, Jared drove Ellen in his car. The further they drove, the more familiar her surroundings looked.
Isn’t this where my house used to be? She even remembered that she had deliberately come over to look at it once before. “Why are you taking me here?”
“Take a guess.” He smiled.
However, nothing came to mind, so she could only wait for him to bring her there. As soon as Jared parked his car at a luxurious car park, he asked her to get out of the car. Then, the both. of them took the elevator before heading over to the penthouse.
“Did you move here?” she asked. After Jared opened the door, he stretched his hand out and made a welcoming gesture. ‘I designed this place, especially for you.”
Upon walking into the unit, Ellen was shocked. As she looked out through the floor-toceiling windows, she noticed the dazzling city lights and realized that she was within the central location of New Town.
After giving it some thought, she looked up and asked, “No way. Is this location where my house used to be?” “You’re right. This is where your house used to be, so I built you a house in the same spot. Do you like it?” he asked earnestly.
She was overwhelmed by emotions upon hearing that. The next moment, she walked toward him and wrapped her arms around his waist before burying her face in his chest.
She couldn’t find the words to express herself. With that, Jared tightened his embrace around her and planted a kiss on the top of her head as he relished the long-awaited hug.
“Thank you.” Ellen didn’t know he had done so much for her, which made her feel guilty for leaving him. “I hope that you won’t leave again since I’ve gotten you a house!” Jared looked down and said in a raspy voice.
After all, the reason he built her the house was so that she would stay. Hearing that, she shut her eyes and nodded. “Alright, I won’t be leaving anymore.” Now, she had a home within the city.
Jared smiled when she accepted his gift, and from today onward, this would be their home. After Ellen was given a tour around the duplex that spanned almost 10,000
square feet, she thought that the place was cozy.
When she noticed the shelves on the balcony that were filled with pots of succulents, she turned to him and asked in surprise, “Did you get these too?”
Hearing that, Jared stood behind her with his arms folded and answered smilingly,
“Yes. I was also the one who picked them out. Do you like it?”
“They look so cute!” she gushed. She loved it and could feel that everything in the house was carefully curated by Jared, which showed how much he loved her.
“Yes! Very cute indeed.” He was referring to the succulents and also Ellen. Soon after,
Ellen toured the living room before checking out the master bedroom on the second floor. There was a private multi- functional movie hall, a gymnasium, and various beautiful furniture and sofas where the color schemes caught her heart at first glance.
Jared had thoughtfully selected everything in the house. Ever since the start of renovations, he had been there every day. After the renovation was completed, he went to the shopping mall to pick out the fixtures and fittings.
It was as if he had been living and preparing for her return in the past year. He believed that everything he had done would be rewarded, and the reward was Ellen.
The moment when he saw her smile and the tears in her eyes, he knew that everything he had. done was worth it.
“Do you like it?” he asked in a deep voice. “I love it! I love everything about it.” She nodded. She was moved as his love for her was noticeable through the details in every corner of the house.
“Something’s missing, though.” “What is it?”
“It’s a chess table. I’ll get someone to send it over tomorrow. That way, you can teach me how to play chess.” Jared was looking forward to playing chess with her as he thought that it would be fun.
At that, she chuckled. ‘I don’t dare to play chess with someone as intelligent as you.
I’m afraid of losing to you.” She finally managed to win the championship and didn’t want to be defeated by him.
“Let me tell you a secret! When I was young, my parents made me learn how to play chess. I wasn’t able to master it, so they eventually gave up. So, I’d like to learn from you.” Jared laughed.
“No way!” She blinked her eyes. “I’m not lying. You can ask my parents when they’re back. He would never lie to her. Hearing that made her blush as it sounded like she would be meeting his parents soon. The thought of it made her anxious.
It was probably because she had watched too many movies and read too many novels which instilled fear within her toward women from wealthy families. She felt that marrying a wealthy family would lead to an unknown world, and shel would lose her freedom because of that.
Jared noticed how hesitant she was and comforted her, “Don’t worry, my parents are easy to get along with, and I have a cheeky. sister, I’m sure you’ll like her.”
