Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Selena’s Domineering Side

Meanwhile, Megan rejoiced at the sight of Selena’s hesitancy. This matter is getting out of hand, but the poor lady has no idea that I’m just putting on a show all the time. I can’t wait to see how she cleans up the mess.

“I don’t have a say in this matter.” Selena’s voice still sounded cold as it had always been from the beginning.

“Oh, come on! You both are a couple, so I’m sure your words carry some weight, don’t they? Furthermore, I heard he dotes you on quite a lot, so I think he’ll definitely listen to you,” Roland said and waved his hand.

“That’s right. I can tell that he really dotes on you too. Unless you’re still mad at Dad or me, you would kindly lend us a hand, wouldn’t you? After all, we’re a family, right?”

“Exactly! We’re a family, and that’s why we should bear no grudge against each other. Please tell him that we’d like to dine together someday. In fact, when Meredith becomes a Fowler, he and Pierre will be in-laws by then. Thus, I’d say this is promising to him!” Roland said with a smile on his face.

“Alright then, I’ll tell him when I get back. If there is nothing else, I should get going.” Selena couldn’t stand sticking around any longer, as she was ready to leave after giving a terse reply. When she got to the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned around. “My mom used to have a pair of beautiful bracelets, but I can’t find them now. Do you know where they are?”

Roland and Jezebelle exchanged gazes with a surprised look on their faces upon hearing that, but Selena managed to notice their suspicious reactions, sensing something amiss.

“Oh, really? I can’t remember anything about them,” Roland answered while scratching his head.

“How could you not remember those bracelets? Mom used to wear it on her wrists all the time.”

“Alas! It’s been years since we last saw it, so what does it matter to you, anyway? I bet they must have been misplaced somewhere long ago,” Roland replied as he subconsciously tried to avoid Selena’s gaze.

“I’m sure those bracelets must be somewhere in the house. All it takes is just a little effort of searching. Actually, I’ve been having the same dream these few days, in which my mom was asking me for them. So, please find them for me.” Knowing that Roland had a favor to ask of her, Selena was sure that the man wouldn’t turn her down.

Soon, she heard the man say, “Alright, I’ll get Jezebelle to look for them later.”

After that, Selena responded with silence as she turned around and left the place.

At the same time, Roland happily sipped his tea while humming and patting his lap. Seeing the man’s complacent look, Jezebelle rolled her eyes at him. “Look at you! Getting cocky already, huh?”

“Haha! I am cocky indeed! What’re you gonna do about that? People laughed at me back then for having three daughters but not even a son. Look at where they are now! One of them is gonna be the wife of Lake Corporation’s president, while the other two are marrying the presidents of JNS Corporation and Fowler Corporation. By then, I can just lie in my bed and still get rich!”

Jezebelle looked askance at him and said, “I hope you’re aware that your daughter is not someone who rolls over so easily. She is already asking for her reward even before starting to do her job. I’d like to see how you’re gonna answer her about the bracelets when she comes back for that.”

“Relax! She was just a little girl when her mom passed away, so I doubt she can still remember how the bracelets look like. Therefore, any pair of bracelets will be good enough to fool her.” Roland was apparently not concerned by the matter at all.

Jezebelle grunted and said, “If only everything was that simple. Anyway, she is your daughter, so this is none of my business.”

Two days later, Selena invited Pierre to her house by texting him, while the man happened to be reading Meredith’s message in his bed at that time. ‘Are you home, Pierre? I’d like to swing by and visit Joaquin and Jameson since I’m free today. Let’s have dinner together since we haven’t done that in a while.’ In fact, Meredith would pay Pierre a visit at the Fowler Residence whenever she was free.

Nevertheless, since both of their messages appeared on the top, Pierre subconsciously opened up his chatroom with Selena. ‘I’ll be there soon.’ Soon, Pierre showed up at Selena’s house in the afternoon. When the lady opened the door, she peeked behind him and saw no signs of the kids. “Where are your boys?”

“They didn’t tag along.”

While Selena seemed disappointed to hear that, her reaction somehow upset Pierre a little deep down. Did she invite me over because of my sons?

“Oh, I should have told you to bring them along because I specially made their favorite dish today. Anyhow, maybe you could take some away for them when you leave later.” It was only after finishing her sentence that Selena let Pierre into the house.

“Mr. Handsome!” Juniper excitedly ran toward Pierre the moment the man entered the house. While the girl’s adorable voice made Pierre’s day, he was reminded of his sons, who usually behaved indifferently toward him. I wish my boys could be like Juniper.

Soon, the three of them began to enjoy dinner at the dining table full of dishes that were Selena’s specialty.

“Today is your lucky day. I wouldn’t have cooked so much had I known you’d come alone,” Selena said as she distributed the plates and cutlery around.

Meanwhile, Juniper covered her mouth while tittering. “Mr. Handsome, you’re the first man Mom has ever cooked for. As you can see, she cares about you a lot!”

Taken aback by the girl’s innocent reply, Selena felt speechless. Seriously, Juniper?! “Be quiet, girl.”

After hearing her mother, the little girl placed a piece of chicken in her mouth and started chewing it.

In the meantime, Pierre only responded with silence. Nevertheless, he approved of Selena’s cooking after trying her dishes a few times. Therefore, her cooking was one of the reasons why he came over.

“By the way, I’ve just enrolled Juniper into Sunflower International Kindergarten. I bet you must have heard of that school, right? Since Jojo and Jamie are about the same as Juniper, it’s time for them to go to school. So, I’ve signed them up too and prepared everything necessary for their enrollment.”

Upon hearing the lady, Pierre froze in place. K-Kindergarten? My old man hasn’t planned to let his grandchildren go to school.

“Don’t tell me you have no plans of enrolling your boys into a kindergarten. Kids should start schooling when they reach the age of three. In fact, some of them do that even before they turn three. Furthermore, Sunflower International Kindergarten is a good choice out of all the schools. I surveyed that myself, so you can trust me. In this case, let’s consider it decided then,” Selena added while proudly placing a slice of meat on Juniper’s plate.

Pierre was speechless. For the first time, he got to see the lady’s domineering side. How could she enroll my children into a kindergarten without informing me ahead? I didn’t have a chance to speak my mind.

“Wow! We look just like a family!” Juniper exclaimed while drinking her soup.

Selena paused, taken aback by the girl’s response. Deep down, she agreed to her daughter that her conversation with Pierre did look like a discussion between parents about enrolling their child in a kindergarten. “Just finish your meal.”

After the meal, Juniper sat on the couch with Pierre while Selena proceeded to wash the dish. Upon taking a glimpse of her mother, who was busy in the kitchen, the girl leaned closer to the man and said, “I’m sorry that I ruined your proposal plan the last time, but don’t you worry because Mom’s birthday is just around the corner. You could propose to her by then, and I believe that’ll make her even happier.”

Proposal? That’s right! I need my ring! My ring!
