My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1273
Rita caught it easily. Ruka smiled. “I wish you happiness, Rita.” Rita stole a glance at Elijah. And perhaps it’s already right here.
And then it was time to raise toasts. Scarlet and Walter represented their parents and dealt with the guests. Ren and Elijah went with them. Ruka just got pregnant so she couldn’t drink or walk around, hence she and Rita went to the common room.
“Ruka, is Elijah taken?” Rita asked shyly. “He’s single. Ren said he’s too busy to even have a girlfriend.” Ruka smiled. She knew Rita was interested in Elijah, and she was more than happy to match them up.
“Really?” Rita’s eyes shone. “Rita, Elijah’s a nice guy. You can consider him.”
“B-But will he date me?” Rita didn’t have high hopes. She didn’t know him well, so she thought her charms weren’t enough to attract him.
“Rita, you’re beautiful. Trust me. He’ll love you,” Ruka encouraged her.
At this moment, Elijah and Ren came back from a round of drinking. Elijah’s face was a little red. Since Ren wasn’t drinking, he had to do the job himself.
It was a happy day, so he did it gladly.
The three couples took up one table. They were all looking really great, and everyone was attracted to them. It wasn’t every day that three high-profile couples showed up in the same place.
The banquet wrapped up at eight. There was no entertainment, nor was there any need for it. Ren was already an important enough figure without anyone hyping him out. The people with kids were already going home to see their children.
Rita was about to leave, but then someone said, “Ms. Sommerfield, I had a bit too much to drink. Can you give me a ride?”
It was Elijah. He had been keeping up with Rita. The liquid courage from the alcohol he had gave him the push he needed to tell Rita what he thought.
“Sure, no problem.” Rita was excited that she could help.
She drove all the way to Elijah’s house. Rita’s driving was a bit wild because of how excited she was. The moment they got to Elijah’s house, he got out of the car and puked into the grass.
Rita blamed herself for this, and she also felt sympathetic toward him. While they were on their way here, Elijah told her he was living all by himself. His parents weren’t around. “Why don’t I stay for the night, Mr. Jackman? I can help you,” she asked.
“You’d do that for me?” Elijah felt his stomach churning from how much he puked. He needed someone to care for him. “Of course. As long as you want me-”
“Of course I’d want you! I’m honored you’d stay just for me,” he answered right away. Rita smiled. “Okay. I’ll be taking care of you then.”
Rita called Ruka one week later. Ruka had just woken up from a nap. Rita sheepishly told her about the news. She was dating Elijah. Ruka was delighted to hear that. “Elijah is a really reliable and responsible guy. I’m happy for you, Rita,” she congratulated.
Angela gave birth to her girl about a month later, and Richard was finally a father. The Meyers and Lloyds were delighted to finally welcome their first grandchild.
Richard was usually a calm and collected man at work, but he scrambled to hold his daughter when the nurse handed the baby to him. He carefully held the baby and looked at her. She was sleeping after crying so much. His heart melted..
“How’s my wife doing?” “She’s taking a break. You’re not allowed to see her at the moment.” The nurse told him what Angela said. Richard was amused. He did want to go inside, but since Angela made that order, he waited until she was done taking a break.
Angela felt a weight being lifted off her shoulders after giving birth. It felt like she just finished her duty. Daphne was beside her, crying. Her heart went out for Angela, and Angela had to console her instead.
