My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1819


    Selena stayed behind at the restaurant for nearly ten minutes before she descended the stairs. Of


    course, she drove herself there earlier. To avoid any awkward scenes, she had to wait till Jared’s car


    left before she came down.


    In the meantime, that sports car was moving along a busy road. Ellen was momentarily at a loss for


    words, so the atmosphere inside the car felt rather tense.


    “I can tell your cousin isn’t nice to you at all.” Jared broke the silence.


    “How?” Ellen asked curiously.


    “She wasn’t even there to meet her friend for dinner. I reckon she followed us to the restaurant. As your


    cousin, she didn’t even care about your feelings and continuously neglected you while she bombarded


    me with topics.”


    She blinked in amazement. I can’t believe he noticed that.


    Then, she forced a smile. “My cousin’s family is the wealthiest among our extended family. She had a


    better childhood than mine.”


    “That’s not a reason for her to belittle you.” He shot her a deep look. Even as an outsider, he could not


    stand Selena’s behavior toward her.

    “I’m used to that.” Ellen smiled.


    As they arrived at her home, Jared frowned upon seeing the dpidated building she lived in. “Are you


    still allowed to stay here?”


    “Of course. I have until the end of this month,” she replied with a smile. At least she would get to save


    on another month’s worth of rental fees.


    “Let me tell you something. The resettlement project here is under me,” he confessed.


    She could not help eximing in shock, “Is yourpany in charge of the resettlement project in this


    area?”


    “Yes.” He nodded.


    She was delighted to hear that. “That’s such a coincidence.”


    “Go home. Give me a call if you need any help at all.”


    “Drive safely.” Ellen waved at him and watched as he drove off into the distance before entering her


    house and switching on the lights. Although this ce was run down, to her, it was the most


    comfortable home


    ever.


    A short while after Jared left, a shabby SUV arrived at her doorstep. Garrett came out of the car and


    knocked on her door without saying a word as he nced at the lit–up house.


    The loud banging gave Ellen a huge fright, and she immediately rushed over to the door and asked,


    “Who’s


    there?”


    “It’s me. Hurry up and open the door.” His drunken voice rang from outside. It was obvious that he had


    been drinking.


    Feeling her heart skip a bit, Ellen began to feel terror. She immediately thought of seeking help as she


    yelled at the door, “Garrett, it’ste now. I’m about to go to bed. You should go home.”


    “You brat! Open the door right now and hand me the money. I’ll leave after you do that. If you don’t, I’ll


    stay right here banging on your door.” Garrett was a rogue and hollered back at her.


    Faced with such circumstances, Ellen grabbed her phone and intended to call her uncle over for help.


    However, as she dialed his number, he did not answer the call despite the call being put through. On


    the other side of the door, Garrett continued to bash persistently.


    She felt her heart tighten and suddenly recalled Jared, who had left not long ago. Can I seek help from


    him?


    “Hurry up and open the door, you brat! Or else, I’ll kick it down. I’ll be able to get you even if you hide


    inside.” He continued his drunken rage outside.


    Frightened, Ellen could not seem to contain her tears. Finally, she shut her eyes and dialed Jared’s


    number.


    “Hello,” he answered the call.


    “President Presgrave, could you head back to my house? M–My uncle’s drunk, and he won’t stop


    banging on my door. I’m scared.” Her voice broke due to fear.


    “Hang tight. I’lle over right now.” Heforted her before hanging up.


    Bombarded with the noises outside, Ellen clutched her phone, and her heart thudded frantically in fear.


    She could not imagine what Garrett would do to her if she opened the door; she had a feeling that he


    would hit her.


    Though she was usually a stoic person, she was close to breaking down at that moment. She did not


    expect everyone in her extended family to threaten her this way, all because of money.


    Fifteen minutester, Jared’s sports car rushed in from the junction and halted in front of her house. He


    saw Garrett mming the door while cursing under the streetlight. “You brat! Open the door! I’ll kick the


    door down right now!”
