My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1338
When they reached the entrance of Queenie’s house, Nigel parked his car under the tree. Queenie looked in the direction of her house and then at Nifel beside her. Then, she murmured reluctantly, “Thanks for the ride. I’ll head off now.”
“Go on!” Nigel tilted his head and looked at her as he said gently.
Queenie opened the door and got out of the car. Only after watching his car leave did she enter the house.
As soon as she walked into the house, her parents were deep in conversation, and she heard Maggie’s guilty voice. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t educate Bonnie well, so the Paynes thought she was an ill- mannered brat.”
‘Alright, don’t blame yourself. We’ll talk to Bonnie when she gets back. But, since Leslie did not want to take responsibility for what he had done, we won’t allow Bonnie to get married to an irresponsible man like that. She will have a tough life if she marries him,” Brandon dismissed in anger.
They were angry at the Paynes instead of Bonnie.. “Mom, Dad, I’m home.” Queenie walked in with her handbag in hand. The moment she caught sight of Maggie’s red eyes, she instantly headed over to comfort her. “Don’t be sad, Mom. It’s all my fault.”
“I know that Leslie and Bonnie wronged you, but Queenie, promise me that you won’t take out your anger on Bonnie again, okay? Both of you are my daughters. I’ll be heartbroken and torn if either of you is unhappy.”
Queenie understood Maggie’s anguish, but she could not expect Maggie to understand her misery. It was even more challenging for her to tell Maggie about all the nasty things Bonnie had done to her..
She could not whine about them. All she could do was keep them to herself. Only by restraining herself would her family have a modicum of peace.
“Okay, I’ll try not to needle her,’ Queenie promised. Her parents had had a hard time today after handling the whole lot of angered Paynes, so she did not want to upset them further.
“Where is Bonnie? Why hasn’t she returned yet?” Brandon asked worriedly. “She can be quite stubborn. What if something bad happens to her?!”
A horrified and worried Brandon made another call to Bonnie. Bonnie obviously answered the call because Brandon quickly asked, “Bonnie! Where are you? Hurry up and come home. Queenie is already home.”
“Dad, I’m sad. I don’t want to go home yet.”
“No, you must come home now! It’s already ten. Send me your current location. I’ll go over and fetch you,” Brandon demanded.
“Alright, but I’ll go home by myself. You don’t have to come and fetch me,” Bonnie said on the other end of the line. “I’ll ask the driver to fetch you.”
“No, you don’t have to. I’ll take a cab back.” After that, Bonnie hung up. Queenie disapproved of Bonnie’s behavior as she looked at her parents’ apparent anxiety over their wayward daughter. The twins had a 10.00PM curfew, and she had never caused her parents such worry by returning home on the dot.
It was almost 11.00PM when a grumpy Bonnie finally deigned to return home. The resentment was even more evident in Bonnie’s expression when she looked at Queenie sitting on the couch. Queenie said, “Did you know that Leslie. had a car accident tonight?”
“What?!” Bonnie shrieked in shock. “What car accident? Where?”
“Outside the restaurant. You shook off his hand and ran across the street. He chased after you and was hit by a car,” Queenie said.
