My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1818


    Selena purposely said frustratedly, “I should honestly get my parents to tell Uncle Garrett and the


    others off. How could they do this to you?”


    “Thanks, Selena.” Ellen felt revolted in her heart. She knew for a fact that Selena was putting on an act,


    yet she was forced to y along with her. What she was experiencing now was utterly diforting for


    her.


    “President Presgrave, have some tea.” Selena stood up and took the teapot to fill Jared’s teacup.


    “Thank you,” he replied in a low voice.


    Compared to Selena, Ellen was naturally not as adept at interacting with others. After Selena took a


    seat, she lifted her cup. “President Presgrave, I’d like to propose a toast.”


    He lifted his teacup slightly to toast her. Instantly, she beamed widely and took over the role of the host


    instead. “President Presgrave, I’m so impressed by your achievements. You’re tasked to run such a


    majorpany at a young age. You must be outstanding!”


    Meanwhile, Ellen sat by the side and remained silent. She secretly felt dejected and resigned. Before


    she knew it, she identally choked on her tea while out of focus.


    “Uhuk…” She coughed twice, and Selena pped her on the back quite roughly. Though she appeared


    to be gentle, she exerted huge force on Ellen.


    “Are you alright, Ellie?”


    Jared turned to look at Ellen with worry. “Slow down.”


    She lifted her head to look at him before turning to Selena and noticing the smug smile on her face that


    was onlyprehensible to herself.


    Throughout dinner, Selena was the one who practically dominated the conversation as she came up


    with various topics to chat about with Jared. She showed off nearly everything that she was well–


    versed in.


    As for Ellen, she became the audience there. Compared to Selena’s impressive upbringing, Ellen’s


    upbringing was pretty much not worth mentioning.


    Jared had been well brought up since he was young; although he did not enjoy the conversation with


    Selena, he did not reveal the slightest hint of displeasure. He merely focused on studying Ellen’s


    emotions and took note of her awkward yet polite countenance.


    However, Selena remained unaware that her actions had triggered the displeasure of the two. On the


    contrary, she was annoyed that dinner ended too soon.


    As soon as Ellen put down her utensils, Jared followed her action and asked, “How was dinner? Are


    you full?”


    “Yes! I’m stuffed to the brim,” Ellen replied with a smile.


    Subsequently, Selena put down her fork and parroted. “I’m stuffed too.”


    “I’ll foot the bill, then.” After Ellen said that, she grabbed her bag and got up. Yet, she was told upon


    arriving at the counter that the bill had been paid.


    Stunned, she turned around to look toward their dining table. At that instance, Jared had his eyes on


    her and beamed widely. She was slightly embarrassed as she walked over and asked, “Why did you


    pay? I told you this was my treat.”


    “You can do that next time.” He rose to his feet.


    At that point, Selena turned to shoot a jealous look at Ellen. What? President Presgrave is setting up


    another date with her?!


    “Okay, then. You’re not allowed to foot the bill beforehand next time,” Ellen instructed with a smile.


    “Sure. Let’s go. I’ll send you home.” He was ready to actualize his words.


    Hearing that, Selena immediately bit her lips and asked brazenly, “President Presgrave, could I hitch a


    ride home too? I hailed a cab to get here, so I didn’t drive today.”


    “I’m sorry, but I came in a sports car, so a third person would not be able to fit inside.” Jared rejected


    her.


    Selena knew well that there was another row of seats in a sports car, but she did not pursue it since he


    had said so. Suddenly, she recalled that Ellen’s house was nearer than hers, so she turned to Ellen


    and proposed. “Ellie, could you please let President Presgrave send me home? You should take a cab


    home.”


    That was despicable of Selena as she knew that Ellen was subservient and easy to convince, so she


    went ahead and demanded brazenly.

    Before Ellen had the chance to reply, Jared interjected, “Ellen’s house is located in a much more


    secluded area, so why don’t you catch a cab home, Miss Aguirre?” After he said that, he turned to Ellen


    and insisted. “Let’s go.”


    “Bye, Selena. We’ll head off first.” Ellen bade farewell to her cousin.


    With that, Selena stood awkwardly at the same spot and stomped her feet secretly. She was


    undeniably annoyed. Exactly in what aspect am I worse than Ellen, huh? I’m considered a beauty in


    terms of looks, and I’ve got a great figure too. Besides, I carry myself way more elegantly than her!


    Why is Jared only drawn to her? Why hasn’t he noticed my outstanding qualities?
