My Baby’s Daddy - Season 2 Episode 27

“Come over here, Nigel. I’d like you to meet Mr. Johnson, his wife, and his only daughter, Leah. You guys met when you were younger.” Nigel’s father, Jonathan Manson, chuckled as he glanced at the other family’s daughter with a fond and loving gaze.

“Yeah! You guys brought Nigel over during Leah’s 100-day-old party. Nigel was only two years old then! We already had the idea of matching them since,” Johnson’s wife uttered with a sweet smile.

“Exactly! Their age difference is just perfect.” Joy appeared in Brenda’s-Nigel’s mother-eyes as she looked at Leah. Brenda was wholly satisfied with this idea. Both Brenda and Jonathan had Leah as their first choice in mind. Leah’s parents were powerful people in the food industry, and they had a lot of partnerships with hotel businesses. If Nigel took over the business, he’d be able to receive support from Leah’s family. So, the most ideal plan was to matchmake them and unite their families, so that they could both help each other double and triple their revenue!

Nigel would no longer have to worry about a lack of support in his career as he would have an extremely powerful father-in-law! Leah’s parents shared the same thoughts, and they figured that both families would only grow stronger once they combined their resources. Furthermore, Leah’s family wouldn’t have to worry about finding another inheritor for their business because they were satisfied with Nigel’s capabilities.

“It’s been a while, Nigel!” Leah gave him a friendly greeting. This wasn’t the first time they had met each other. They were both club members of some overseas racing club, and Leah had fallen in love with Nigel the first time she saw him. It was love at first sight-she even followed him back to the country after he left. Most importantly, Leah was overjoyed to find out that both her and Nigel’s parents were supportive of the relationship.

“It’s been a while, Leah. Thank you for coming to my grandmother’s party, Mr. and Mrs. Hart.” Nigel spoke in a polite tone.

“It’s our pleasure and honor to be able to attend this party.” The Hart couple had come over just so that their children could meet up during the party. “Why don’t you show Leah to the buffet area for some food, Nigel? Us old ones will be here catching up with each other.” Brenda shot her son a look.

Nigel was exasperated deep down, but he maintained a polite expression on his face. “Okay, Mom.” Nigel brought Leah out of the hall and toward the buffet area. After Leah got some food, Nigel seized this opportunity to escape. “I have other matters to handle, Leah! You enjoy your meal, alright?”

Leah immediately stared at him with a look of disappointment. She had spent the whole day preparing and dolling herself up for the party, yet Nigel barely looked at her. That hurt her heart more than ever. However, when she recalled how both families’ parents were willing to matchmake them, she felt a little better. She had no need to rush since she was going to be the Manson’s daughter-in-law eventually.

“That was Old Madam Presgrave’s grandson, wasn’t he? He looks stunning!” someone uttered. “Yeah, I heard that there have been a large number of ladies from rich families who are circling the two young masters! I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to get married to him and be a part of their family,” another said.

A confident smirk formed on Leah’s lips after she heard the conversations. I’m one of those lucky girls, she thought. No one else will ever have enough power and resources to take Nigel away from me.

Meanwhile, Nigel had just arrived at the PA system room. The host of the night happened to be there. “I’m going to propose to a girl later, and I need your help,” Nigel said.

“When are you doing it? I’ll prepare everything for you right now,” the staff member replied.

“Ten minutes later, I’d like you to call Anastasia’s name and get her on stage. Then, you guys can prepare the music and lighting. Take this USB; I’ve prepared a video that I edited, and you can play it on the big stream. It goes well with romantic songs,” Nigel explained.

“We got your back, Young Master Nigel!” they cried. Once Nigel was done, he left with a satisfied smile on his face. My proposal is going to start in ten minutes, he thought as he pulled the diamond ring out of his pocket. It wasn’t in a box, but the shining surface and the rainbow-like reflections made it clear that it was expensive.

Meanwhile, Anastasia and Harriet had separated. Earlier, Harriet told Anastasia to stay past 9.00PM, so Anastasia decided to follow Harriet’s wishes. I’ll wait here until it’s past 9.00PM! Anastasia walked over to a quieter spot before she heard a malicious female voice sneering at her. “Your mother only passed away due to her work back then, Anastasia. Are you really expecting the Presgrave Family to continue repaying you?”
