My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 1881

Chapter 1881

When Jared followed Ellen’s line of sight and spotted Selena, he quickly drew Ellen to their seats at the head of the table. As Ellen sat down, her gaze was drawn to Dorothy, who was sitting across from her, and she was surprised to find Dorothy at the gathering as well. However, Dorothy scowled at her with intense hatred.

At that moment, Ryan welcomed another guest who walked in. “Mr. Orey, you made it inside. Come, have a seat.”

Lambert then drew out a seat directly across from Jared and sat down. It was apparent from the seating chart that those at the head table would be the most influential of those in attendance. Therefore, those seats belonged to Jared and Lambert.

Meanwhile, Ellen raised her head and made accidental eye contact with Lambert. Earlier, he had only had a fleeting glance at her with the setting sun shining on her face, but since he was able to look at her more closely, he realized that she was his ideal match.

Sensing the unusual intensity of his gaze, she hurriedly looked down. Then, he smirked and picked up his wine glass. What a shy girl!

On the other hand, Selena’s seat was towards the end of the table, giving her a clear line of sight to Lambert. I am envious of Ellen, who was seated directly opposite Lambert and with two outstanding men.

“Young Master Jared, I have heard of you, but I never had a chance to meet you. It is a pleasure to see you here today,” Lambert greeted, holding his glass up in a toast.

“You’re too kind.” Jared raised his glass to clink it against Lambert’s. The two men looked at each other with admiration and scrutiny as they locked eyes.

There was a subtly charged tension in the air from the clash of their masculine instincts. “What is your name, Miss?” Lambert asked, curiously glancing at Ellen.

“I’m Ellen Reiss,” she politely replied. “How do you do? I’m Lambert Orey.” He introduced himself with a smile and a raised eyebrow.

When Jared saw that, he narrowed his eyes and uttered, “Let me add to the introduction; she is my girlfriend.” While taking a sip of his wine, Lambert froze and smirked, “Oh? Are you afraid I would steal her away?”
