My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 1982

“After all, you are the apprentice of Mr. Linton, the national champion. You can do it. When that time comes, you will

show the world what you are capable of and become a chess star.”

Ellen nodded and smiled. “I’ll try my best.”

Recently, the media had been reporting that Lockwood Village had become an important development area of

Averna. The old houses were gone and were turned into skyscrapers. There were also costly residential areas and

industries. Lockwood Village had turned into a new landmark.

On the balcony of a newly furnished apartment, a tall figure was standing by the window. He was looking outside

and seemed to be deep in thought.

“It’s getting late, President Jared. You should head home.” Stanley stood behind him and felt his legs getting sore

from standing too long.

They were at one of the residential areas that the Presgrave Group had built. Jared had reserved one of the

penthouses and furnished it himself. While furnishing, he chose everything that a woman needed.

Thus, it was obvious that he had prepared this place for a woman, and Stanley knew who it was. However, he

wondered if Ellen would still be back. One and a half years had passed, but Jared was still love- struck with Ellen.

Initially, he had many ways to find out where she was, but he didn’t do so.

He waited patiently as time passed and refused any women who came to him. It went to the point that even

Anastasia, who was abroad, had personally asked about his condition. However, Jared was always alone. Now that

Jared was going to be twenty-eight years old, even Stanley was worried about his life.

“Do you think she will be back, Stanley?” Jared asked while lowering his eyes.”I will search everywhere and bring

her back as long as you are willing to,” replied Stanley. “What if she doesn’t love me?” Jared sighed.

Stanley was also clueless about women. I’m sure every woman loves Jared. After all, he is such a perfect and

wealthy man! Although… Miss Reiss is an exception. I guess that makes her different from the other girls who are

crazy for Jared.

Thinking about it, Stanley felt that Ellen might have left due to how outstanding Jared was. Ellen must have felt

insecure. Hence, he said, “Don’t think of such things, President Jared. I’m sure she loves you.”

“I hope so! I have prepared this house for her. It’s where her old mansion used to be. I really wish that she will

return and accept this gift.” Jared sighed.

Stanley knew what he was talking about. In the past, no one wanted to build any residential area in Lockwood

Village, but Jared had made this place into a residential area just because he wanted to keep a place for Ellen.

The world chess tournament would be held in Averna by next Friday, and many media outlets. were paying

attention to it. A black van stopped by a hotel, and the door was opened from the inside.

Soon, a middle-aged man, an old man, and a girl exited the car. The girl wore a black down jacket and took a deep

breath, smiling when she caught the whiff of the familiar scent.

“This is your hometown, Ellie. Do you feel happy to be back?” Jay asked. “Yes. It’s been a year and a half since I last

visited here,” Ellen replied.

“Where is your house at?’ Austin asked curiously. What came to Ellen’s mind first was the old manor where her

Grandma used to live. That place used to be her home, but now it was gone.

“My old house was demolished, so I don’t really have a home here. Ellen smiled. Afterward, they entered the hotel

and rested to prepare for the tournament.

After Ellen had unpacked her stuff, she called a cab and went to the old manor. Everyone would feel safe and happy

when they went to their hometown, even if it had changed.
