My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 1987

After Jared had got a hold of his breath, he pointed into her room and asked, “Can I come in?” “Of course.” Ellen nodded hastily. Then, Jared entered the room while Ellen closed the door and followed suit.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned around abruptly, which made her bump into him. At that moment, she frantically backed away and tripped over the carpet.

“Ah!” Ellen fell backward and was going to hit her head when Jared quickly pulled her.

Immediately, their bodies were pressed close to each other. Ellen was shocked by the sudden outcome.

Her face was pale, and she opened her lips to say something. At that moment, Jared cupped her cheeks and kissed her. In that split second, Ellen was dumbfounded. She stood there stiffly, allowing him to kiss her. After Jared pulled away, her pale face was flushed.

Jared cupped her cheeks as he pressed his forehead against hers. “How rude of you. You didn’t even inform me that you came back,” he said hoarsely.

Ellen blinked and explained awkwardly, “I’m here to participate in the tournament. I’m not here on a trip.” “Don’t you want to share with me after you have won the championship?” “I was afraid that you might be busy.” Ellen pursed her lips.

“Even if I’m busy, I can still find the time to celebrate with you,” Jared said exasperatedly. He could tell that she was making up an excuse, and the real reason was that she didn’t want to see him.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It must be the hotel staff, Ellen thought. Then, she said to Jared, “I’ll go and get the fruit.” After that, she opened the door and saw a young, elegant man standing there.

He was Hendrix O’rion, one of the chess players. Hendrix heard that Ellen was also staying at this hotel. Since he would be leaving by tomorrow, he wanted to greet her and talk about chess. Moreover, he liked her. “Hi!” Hendrix waved at her.

“Hello.” Ellen smiled. “I’m sorry to bother you at this hour, Miss Reiss. I really admire you and wish that we could play together sometime later. Is it okay if I get your number?’ asked Hendrix.
