My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1803
Chapter 1803 Demolition Payment
It was Ellen’s first time in a sports car, hence the nervousness and thrill running
down her spine. I didn’t know Mr. Tillman is loaded.
“Is there anyone else in your family?” Jared initiated a conversation. “No. I’m the
only one,” she replied naturally. “You? Alone?” He looked at her in surprise.
“Yup. I’m all alone. My brother is gone a long time ago, and my grandmother
passed away two weeks ago.” She could not mask the overflowing sorrow.
“I’m sorry for your loss,” he apologized for pricking her sore spot. She shook her
head. “Thank you.”
Ellen’s address was added to the navigation system. She felt guilty to have him
take the long route just to send her home.
When they arrived at her ce, his brows furrowed. “Is this where you live?”
“Yeah, it’s my grandmother’s ce, but it’ll be demolished soon.”
The corner of Jared’s lips slightly curved upward. If his memories served him
right, that was within the area he nned for demolition.
“Thanks for the ride! Be careful on your way back.” She bent over to bid
goodbye.
He nodded before driving into a street in the rain. It was not until the sports car
vanished from her sight that she finally came back to her senses. Red tinges
crept onto her cheeks, and there was something familiar about that man for
some reason. Despite his sophisticated grace and the social strata difference

between them, she was not afraid of him.
Meanwhile, Jared gave his subordinate a call on his way home. After inquiring
about the demolition area with the address he had, his conjecture hardened into
certainty.
“Why are you there, Mr. Presgrave? That’s the Lockwood Vige.”
“My friend needed a ride back home.”
“Your friend lives there?” The subordinate doubted that Jared had a friend living
in such a ce.
Meanwhile, at Aguirre Residence, Olivia was worried about her daughter, who
was in low spirits despite going to work every day. So, she decided to chat with
Selena.
“What’s wrong, baby girl?” Olivia held a bowl of bird nest soup into the room.
“Mom, can’t you just drive Ellen out of thepany? She’s such an eyesore!”
Selena turned her head sideways.
“Just don’t mind her.”
“I remember that time she didn’t want to give me her toy when I wanted it during
our younger days. I simply borrowed it for a while, yet she used me of
stealing. Dad even told me off because of that!” Selena brought up their
younger times.
Olivia secretly did not favor Ellen as she scoffed. “Someone like her is bound to
be a non-starter.”
Her affirmation lifted Selena’s spirit. When Selena finished the bird’s nest soup,
she had a question unanswered. “Mom, we won’t go bankrupt, will we?”
“Of course not. We need not worry about money.” Olivia reassured her
confidently.
The weight on her mind disappeared because she did not earn herself a living
through work. She had one clear goal—winning her boss’ heart and marrying
him!
For the following week, Ellen did not encounter Jared and received a call from
the demolition contractors, saying they would visit in the afternoon someday to
take some measurements of the ce. It seemed like the procedure went
smoothly as it was approved.
Everyone in Lockwood Vige was ted about the news. Thanks to its
strategic geographic location, many could rake in a fortune. Those who
earnestly hoped for demolition finally had their wish granted.
Needless to say, Ellen bumped into Selena every day at work. Thetter
seemed haughty; their gazes met every time, but she did not approach Ellen.
The month was about to end when the vigers received the demolition
payment, but there was nothing in Ellen’s bank ount.
Therefore, she dropped by the demolitionpany for inquiry. The contractor
told her that the payment was canceled because her name was not included in
the family’s registration.
Since she had to register her name under the family before collecting the
money, she needed to look into the problem.
