All Chapters of My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Eric sat in his downtown office overlooking the city centre.He should have been knee-deep in work, but he couldn’t seem to concentrate. His mind kept replaying multiple scenes like a broken record, tormenting him. The more images that surfaced, the more uneasy he felt.*Why am I worried about her?* he frowned, looking up at the ceiling. He rubbed a palm across his face. An emotion he still couldn’t decipher plagued him — something he felt and recognised, yet found hard to pinpoint. He knew it wasn’t anger, but his pride refused to acknowledge it, which only irritated him further the more he thought about it.“She is just my ex-wife. I can have multiple women begging on their knees for scraps of my attention, so why am I bothered by the thought of my ex?” His hand moved to massage his forehead, fighting off an approaching headache.“The way she looked at me…” he mused to himself, recalling both times Autumn had looked at him. “Indifferently,” he spoke out loud.That was how she had lo

“What’s the plan for tomorrow? Are you going out?” he asked as he parked in front of her building.“Yeah, I am. But I won’t be using your chauffeur services,” she retorted, which only made him snort.“Whatever. I won’t be around anyway. I’m going to visit my mom.” He let out a sigh. “I already suspect it’s another attempt at matching me with one of her high-society friends.” He shuddered at the end of his own words, the possibility clearly terrifying him. Autumn barked out a laugh at his reaction.“Why don’t you let mommy set you up with a nice lady from your social circle?” she teased, checking to make sure all her belongings were in order.“Because I don’t like them. They feel so superficial. So boring. Every single conversation you have with any of them always stumbles back to how wealthy you are, your family’s network, etc.” He let out an exasperated sigh and stared straight at Autumn. “I just want someone who understands me, someone I love and who loves me back… not just because

“Why, why, why?” she questioned through gritted teeth.The report she had received earlier lay in her palm. She gripped it with so much force that the paper crinkled under the pressure.It was a report from the last few days detailing everything Eric had done.“Are you sure?” She turned her gaze back toward her assistant.“Yes, ma’am. This is the report of Mr. Kingston’s movements these past couple of days. He even doubled the number of bodyguards he initially placed on her,” the assistant pointed out.*Why is that accursed woman still bothering him now?* Sophia’s nails dug a hole through the paper. *Why couldn’t she just leave their lives alone?*She had suspected something was off with Eric when he kept blowing off their hangouts and focused more on work. She had thought he was still grieving and needed time, so she stayed silent, trying to be his comfort, waiting for him to finally notice her. With Autumn no longer in the picture, she had wanted to seize the opportunity, sink her t

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

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
