My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1299
She had no choice but to try and negotiate with her stomach, “Can you be quiet for just one night? I’ll feed you tomorrow morning.” The hotel provided the employees with breakfast every morning, so Queenie’s plan was to hold out until the next morning.
Nigel had encountered a lot of childish women before, but he had never seen one as silly and amusing as her. Suddenly, he turned the steering wheel and pulled up in front of a restaurant.
Queenie stared dazedly at the restaurant for a few seconds before turning to him. “Are you buying me dinner?”
“Do you suppose I would let you eat up all of my snacks at home instead?” He scoffed as he retorted.
She remained seated in the car as she watched him get off. Although he always had a cold and indifferent look on his face, she couldn’t deny that he had been nothing but kind to her.
She got down from the car and smiled at him. “Mr. Manson, you’re only cold on the outside. If you show a little more gentleness, I’m sure that the line of women hoping to be your girlfriend would be long enough to circle the globe. You’ll get a girlfriend in no time.”
Amid her attempt at flattery, she accidentally bumped into Nigel’s back, thanks to his abrupt halt. “Ouch!” Queenie quickly took two steps backward and rubbed her slightly sore nose as she looked at him.
Nigel turned around and warned coolly, “Stop talking so much if you want to eat.”
He hated hearing talk about getting a girlfriend. He had no intention of getting one as he considered a girlfriend to be nothing but a nuisance to him.
He had chased after a woman for two years once. Yet, she was now his cousin’s wife and had just given birth a second time. Ever since then, he realized that life as a single man was pretty fulfilling too. Therefore, over the last few years, apart from taking over the family business, he spent his time indulging in his interests and hobbies.
Queenie kept her mouth shut. Was I talking too much? Was he annoyed because of it?
Heeding his order, she remained silent from the moment they walked into the restaurant until the food was served at their table. However, her expression became a lot livelier once the food showed up. She rubbed her hands in eager anticipation.
Nigel didn’t plan on eating, so he only ordered enough food for one. He took his phone out and started playing a game.
They were the only ones sitting in the restaurant’s large dining area. One happily stuffed herself with food while the other sat quietly playing a game. Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere wasn’t tense or awkward.
Queenie looked at Nigel from time to time. Once she was full, she rested her chin on her hand and stared at Nigel, who was still engrossed in his game. In that instance, it struck her that he was quite a good-looking man. He had an excellent figure to go with his handsome features. The only thing that was less than satisfactory about him would be his somewhat unapproachable personality.
It was strange that a guy like him was still single. She had seen a lot of tabloids attempting to make their fortunes by reporting on various rumors and gossip about him. Once, he streamed a game with a female streamer, and the news stayed on the social media trending list for three whole days.
