My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1331
They openly displayed their affection in front of the people present. Bonnie could feel the resentment burning inside her. Queenie was doing this on purpose.
Maggie and Brandon exchanged glances at the couple’s behavior but said nothing in the end. In their minds, Queenie had always been carefree and forthright, so they did not find her current behavior odd or inappropriate at all.
“Leslie, right? Allow me to give you a toast.” Nigel suddenly raised his glass to Leslie. Despite the annoyance and resentment bubbling in Leslie’s veins, he had to force a smile and raise his glass reluctantly due to his fear of Nigel’s wealth and affluent background. “Mr. Manson, cheers.”
“Before drinking this glass of wine, I want to thank you for giving Queenie to me.”
Nigel narrowed his eyes and said. Leslie sighed and lamented, “Well, I suppose we’re not meant to be together.”
After Nigel took a sip of the wine, he extended his arm and wrapped it around Queenie’s shoulders. Queenie stiffened in shock and looked up at Nigel beside her.
Nigel looked back at her, and their eyes met. Then, finally, he called out her name softly, “Queenie, I have something to tell you.”
Queenie blinked curiously, looking forward to what he would say to spice things up. Even Bonnie, who sat across from Nigel and Queenie, felt her heart leap to her throat when she heard Nigel’s remark. Did he plan to confess to Queenie in front of her parents?
“Queenie, you may have been worthless to a man who didn’t appreciate and cherish you, but you are priceless to me. So from now on, I’ll care for you and love you for the rest of your life.”
Queenie was enjoying a morsel of food when she heard Nigel’s statement. She was so dazed that she forgot to chew for a moment as she stared at Nigel, who was smiling so gently. Was he telling the truth or making their bluff seem more believable?
She must admit that Nigel was a natural- born actor if it was a bluff. Julian should even give his best actor award to Nigel. But it seemed impossible to be true. After all, she was the one who came up with the idea for him to be her pretend boyfriend.
Unexpectedly, Nigel got into character so seriously that she didn’t know how to follow up.
However, never let it be said that Queenie didn’t know how to ad-lib on the fly as she regained her composure and smiled. sweetly. “Really?”
Nigel flicked the tip of her nose lightly. “Of course! Do you think I’m bluffing?”
Queenie chuckled and thought, Of course you are! This is all fake from the start!
Still, everyone present felt that Nigel’s confession was genuine. Nigel even mocked Leslie as the man who didn’t appreciate Queenie and regarded her as worthless.
Bonnie was so jealous that she was barely holding on to her rationality, and at the same time, she immediately came to a decisive conclusion. She must ruin Queenie’s happiness and steal Nigel from her. Even if she couldn’t win Nigel’s heart in the end, she would definitely ruin. Queenie’s chances to be with a man like him.
“Oh! By the way, I broke off the engagement today, but it is also Bonnie’s engagement day! So I won’t steal the limelight. Dad, Mom, Mr. and Mrs. Payne, please host their engagement party!” It seemed as if it finally occurred to Queenie that she was stealing the limelight.
