My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 223: Sterling Intervention
“You gotta stop pestering her like that,” Gusty said, taking a seat and offering him a can of beer.The aftermath of his disagreement with Autumn still left him shaken. He had taken refuge with Gus just to cool his head.“I’m not pestering her,” he bit back. To him, his actions weren’t pestering. They came from a place of care. He cared deeply about her and couldn’t stand the thought of something bad happening to her.*I just want to protect her. Is that so wrong?* An image of Autumn’s genuine smile flashed in his mind.“I just want to protect her. Is that so wrong?” he repeated out loud.“Wanting to protect someone isn’t wrong,” Gusty replied, taking a sip of his beer. “But if the person doesn’t need it and has already told you multiple times, it starts to feel like smothering.”Ezra frowned at his words. Another thought bloomed in his head.“But she didn’t say ‘smother.’ She used the word ‘control,’” he interjected, correcting him.“I think that’s what she meant, but she’s so used t
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 222: The Outside Alarm
Downstairs.Marcus strode through the doors with two bags of takeout in hand, both containing the exact orders Autumn had specifically asked for. The food orders were complex and had taken a decent amount of time to prepare. He had been worried she would be starving, which was why he had hurried back, sweating through his clothes and panting. The cool air-conditioning helped in regulating his body temperature.The main reason he put himself through this task wasn’t because of the respectable position Autumn now held. No. It was majorly due to who she had been married to.Eric.He feared him more than even his own bosses. A man who would casually hand out over ten thousand pounds just because someone had helped his wife and made her happy. Eric wasn’t somebody to fuck around with. From the way he had showered Autumn with attention and money, Marcus recognised him as someone he really shouldn’t cross — and by extension, neither should he cross Autumn.That was exactly why he was current
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 221: Closed Door
"You never do, do you?” he said, stepping inside and closing the door, plunging the room into utter darkness.“Sebastian,” she uttered in disbelief. His appearance still shocked her. She had expected Marcus, but Sebastian was a completely different story. He wouldn’t be as lenient with her as he had been the first time.“Surprised to see me?” he mocked, his voice carrying across the room and echoing in the space. “Were you expecting little old Marcus, the one you deceived to get in here?”She stood up the moment she heard his voice draw closer, accidentally knocking the chair to the ground. Her eyes darted around frantically, trying to pinpoint exactly where he was, but she couldn’t find him. The only thing she knew for certain was that he was in this room with her.“It’s quite funny how easy it was for me to do this,” he continued. “I knew you were up to something the moment you picked Nexus Corp over the others.” He let out a tsk.Autumn backed away from the desk, desperately trying
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 220: Caught Red-Handed
Autumn stood in front of the door, her hands shaking as she took in the scene before her.Her nerves were eating at her. Breaking into Sebastian’s office was a completely different matter. With Nigel, he hadn’t pressed charges because he still had business with Eric. But with Sebastian, it was an entirely different story. He wouldn’t hesitate to lock her up just to remove an obstacle from whatever plans he had for the Kingstons.Killing her wouldn’t be enough — he would make sure she was no longer a burden to him in any way.“Get it together, Autumn. You can do this,” she whispered to herself, gripping her hands tightly after noticing them tremble.She was terrified. Sebastian struck fear into her heart even when he wasn’t around.She turned to the keypad in front of her and inputted the code she remembered — the one she had seen him enter countless times: **3812155**.The door pinged, the light changing from red to green, then unlocked.She turned the knob, opening the door just a cr
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 219: Stealing the Moment
She stood outside Nexus Corp headquarters, her feet planted firmly in place.Looking at the building that had started her career — and also the place where she had taken a nosedive into the chaos that began all of this — a complicated mix of emotions rose in her chest.This place held more distant, bitter memories for her than good ones. If it were up to her, she wouldn’t step foot inside again. But she couldn’t walk away. She wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she let go of an opportunity like this. Where else would she get the chance to get this close to Sebastian again?Taking a deep breath, she walked inside and greeted the receptionist with a polite smile.“Autumn Martins. Here for the ministry review,” she said calmly, even though her heart was anything but calm.“Right, of course.” The receptionist typed a few keys, then took out her cellphone and dialled someone. She spoke in a hushed tone, stealing glances at Autumn. “Someone will be right with you.” after hanging up.A
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 218: Decoy Ledger
The rhythmic sound of tapping was the only thing that could be heard throughout the entire room.Gusty’s eyes were focused on the computer screen. He had not stopped working, his mind consumed by one thing alone — payback for the mishap from a few days ago. Payback for the failure he had shown in front of his two friends.“Damn amateurs, thinking they could stop me with this weak-ass defence,” he gloated to himself, his focus locked on a single goal.“You shouldn’t leave your back door wide open for people to get in through it,” he taunted once more.The back door he had used was a secondary server left unattended by Nexus Corp. He had been consumed by guilt over the previous failed attempt. He had tried to find a way into the main server, but it was airtight. He couldn’t bypass it so easily, so he had settled for this secondary one instead.Just as he had told Autumn, he needed to be prepared before hacking something like this. He hadn’t realised it wouldn’t be as easy as his usual j
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 23
We talked late into the night, the television long since forgotten. The conversation had drifted from the disaster of the wedding to safer, quieter topics—Finn’s new school, the security protocols for the house, the logistics of living under siege. I yawned, a jaw-cracking sound that I couldn't su

Silence overtook the entire garden. It was a heavy, suffocating silence, the kind that usually precedes a natural disaster. The birds seemed to stop singing; even the wind died down, as if nature itself was holding its breath to witness the carnage."Rebecca, how dare you say such things at a ti

"Are you alright?"I heard Eric’s voice, low and rumbling, but it sounded like it was coming from underwater. My mind was somewhere else, replaying the look of pure hatred on Chloe’s face. The slamming door echoed in my ears, louder than any thunder.How could I lose the one most important person i

I asked a passing maid where Eric was, and she directed me toward the sunroom. I walked off, giving my thanks before she could even finish speaking. How dare he treat me in such a manner? I am not a child he can simply restrict from going out; I am a grown woman, and my son’s life is currently at r
