My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1748
Night of Destiny
Chapter 1748 Parenting
Julian sobered up a little just then as he was afraid that he might have frightened her with his shouting
just now. He pressed his forehead against hers. âDid I scare you?â
âWhat? The fact that you kissed me, or the fact you yelled at Ashley?â Jessie smiled. A chuckle
escaped his lips. âThis is all your fault.â
âHow is that my fault?â She blinked innocently. You kissed me, and thatâs supposed to be my fault?
How? âBecause youâre too pretty. I couldnât hold myself back.â
âYouâre not cutting her pay. Sheâs a hardworking assistant, alright?â Jessie said solemnly. Julian gulped
slightly at her serious tone. âFine, I wonât cut her pay.â She heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
âGet some sleep. Iâll head back and see if they need my help.â
I almost crossed the line. If Ashley hadnât called me, I might have left a bad impression on Jessie.
Darn, I shouldnât have treated the first time so rashly. I donât want her to remember her first time as
some sloppy sex during someone elseâs wedding, after all.
He nodded after snapping out of his thoughts. âSure. Iâm fine now. You should head over and help
them.â
Once Jessie was gone, he lay on the bed and called Ashley, who was still shocked after the call.
âYoung Master Julian?â âDonât worry. I wonât cut your pay. Orville can deal with the car problem.â
âI see. Did I interrupt something, sir?â Her guess was correct. âWhat are you talking about?â he
snapped. âYou were with Miss Jessie, werenât you?â
Julian was speechless. She knows me well, huh? He snorted. âIf you ask one more stupid question,
youâre not getting paid this month.â Quickly, Ashley said, âPlease, no, sir. Pretend I said nothing. You
two have fun.â
He hung up soon after. His mind was still replaying the scene of the earlier kiss, which sobered him up
completely.
Jessie returned to the ballroom, still looking red. Though, she composed herself once she got inside.
However, she would still feel a little embarrassed every time she was reminded of that kiss.
Queenie was enjoying her desserts when Jessie entered the waiting room. âJessie!â Queenie invited
her to share the sweet stuff. âCome. I need someone to help me out with these.â
Jessie obliged. She sat down and enjoyed the desserts as well. Eating desserts is the happiest thing to
do, she thought.
Everyone else was in the ballroom, chatting the hours away.
Jared and Willow were playing on the field outside with a group of bodyguards keeping an eye on
them.
âBirdieâ¦â Willow could make out some simple words now. She pointed at the birds flying overhead as
she spun around in delight.
Jared crouched down beside her, smiling. âDo you like them?â
The girl nodded, grinning toothily. A gentle breeze whispered across the fields, and her hair clasped her
chubby cheeks. It was an adorable sight to behold.
Anastasia came out a while later and watched her kids play. They were her whole world. Now, she no
longer wanted to expand her company. It was big enough and was running well. Because of that, she
now had more time with her family.
âMommy!â Willow ran toward her the moment she saw Anastasia. She waddled like a little duckling as
she ran.
And then, she fell. Jared tried to pull her up, but Anastasia stopped him. Willow expected her brother or
mother to come over and pick her up, but she realized Anastasia was looking somewhere else while
Jared wasnât coming either. She puckered her lips and got back up herself, feeling a little miffed.
However, that feeling went away with the wind. The girl clapped her hands and bravely went to her
mother once again.
Anastasia pretended she just saw Willow. She picked the girl up and kissed her cheek. âWell done,
Willow.â
