My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 1673

Chapter 1673 Taco, Mac and Cheese, Elotes, and Grilled Skewers

She was so used to Julian’s gentleness that his sternness made her feel inexplicably aggrieved all of a sudden. In fact, her eyes began to turn misty. However, she obstinately pursed her lips tight and forced her tears back.

At that, she nodded. “I want to act. I’ll definitely get it right.”

“You feel stressed when you act alongside me. Go and do it with your assistant instead,” urged Julian, asking her to leave.

Jessie left right away, as she would really cry out of grievance if she stayed a second longer. It was honestly absolutely grieving to be told off suddenly when she had been enjoying his gentleness for quite some time.

Lexie happened to be out when she returned to her room, so she headed to the balcony for some fresh air. After taking a few deep breaths and wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes away, she gave herself a pep talk. You’re going to act, Jessie Silverstein, and you’re going to do it right. Do not disappoint him.

It was as though disappointing him was a sin.

Meanwhile, in a different hotel room, Lisa was watching the clock run on the couch while musing, Surely, Julian would have seen my earring by now. When is he going to call and have me go and get it? Right, I’m going to give him another ten minutes. If he still doesn’t call, I’ll go get it myself. I’ll tell him it’s an expensive piece, and he can’t lose it.

While she pondered, she had her makeup artist touch up her makeup.

Just then, a knock came at the door. Her assistant answered it only to find it was a middle-aged woman. “This is the earring Miss Powers dropped in Young Master Julian’s room. I’m here to return it,” the latter said to the assistant, who took it with bafflement.

Lisa heard the middle-aged woman too, and her expression immediately turned ugly. Seeing so, her assistant returned the earring to her gingerly. “Miss Lisa, Young Master Julian had someone return it.”

Jessie didn’t go down for dinner that night but had Lexie get some of her favorite takeaways. Of course, these delectable couldn’t be found in a hotel but on the streets.

Tacos, mac and cheese, elotes, and grilled skewers were Jessie and Lexie’s scrumptious dinner for the night. But lo and behold, the doorbell rang mid-eating.

At that, Lexie checked the peephole while munching on a grilled lamb skewer only to cry out in panic, “Jessie, Jessie, quick, tidy up. It’s Young Master Julian.”

Jessie, too, panicked. Ah, he can’t see me eating these things! With that, she hurriedly packed the food and hid everything in the cabinet under the television before wiping the table clean. Meanwhile, Lexie gobbled down the skewers, chucked the stick into the trash can aside, and wiped her lips clean before answering the door.

Outside, Julian waited for some time before someone finally opened the door. However, a whiff of grilled skewers traveled from Lexie when she answered the door, and it made him scrunch his nose reflexively and glance at her.
