Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy

Chapter 177: I Have a Girlfriend Now

Benjamin Harper received Evelyn Miles’ call just as he arrived back at the Miles family ancestral home.

He looked at the incoming call on his phone and instinctively frowned.

He answered and called out, "Evelyn."

"Benjamin, is my name something a servant’s son can casually call? Please call me Miss Miles."

Evelyn Miles spoke arrogantly.

Benjamin’s brow furrowed tighter, but he held his patience, "Miss Miles, what can I do for you?"

"I want you to invite Elara Don to the Imperial Garden for a meal tomorrow."

Him, invite Elara Don to dinner?

Benjamin’s brow furrowed even tighter, "Miss Miles, what are you planning to do?"

This Evelyn Miles, in the eyes of the world, she’s like a poetic fairy-like figure.

But in reality?

Selfish, obsessive, bratty, willful...

"Why do you care? Benjamin, don’t think just because you’re a big star now, you’re anyone special. No matter what, you’re still a servant of the Miles family, you must act according to my orders, or I’ll tell Dad you bullied me."

Finished speaking, Evelyn Miles hung up the call directly.

Benjamin speechlessly unbuttoned his shirt collar, his face cold.

Hunter Miles was also a gentle and refined gentleman, how did he end up with such a bratty daughter?

It’s all because Mrs. Grant spoiled her!

Taking a deep breath, Benjamin found Elara Don’s number and still dialed out.

Elara Don received the call, just ready to go to bed.

She glanced at the unknown call and answered with some doubt.

"Who is this?"

"Miss Thorne, this is Benjamin Harper, I apologize for calling you out of the blue, please don’t blame me for being abrupt."

Benjamin spoke politely.

Elara Don sat on the bed, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"No, not at all. Do you need something?"

Unexpectedly it was Benjamin Harper calling?

"Just wanted to ask if you got home safely."

"Oh, I’ve been home for a while, thanks for your concern."

Elara Don replied.

"Are you free for lunch tomorrow? I’d like to invite you for a meal, also to apologize on behalf of Evelyn."

Benjamin stated his purpose.

Elara Don paused slightly, thought for a moment and replied cheerfully, "If apologies are to be given, it should be from me. So how about meeting at noon tomorrow?"

"Great, I’ll book a table at the Imperial Garden right away, and text you the details, see you tomorrow."

Benjamin smiled as he finished and hung up the phone.

The image of Elara Don’s serene face flashed in his mind.

Benjamin pondered.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed, but thinking about it now, he felt Elara Don looked somewhat familiar.

Had he met her somewhere before?

...

Hospital.

Craig Landers looked at the newly awakened Selena Taylor, his expression complex.

She was pregnant.

He was going to have a nephew!

His heart felt confused.

Probably, congratulations were in order!

His older brother was going to have an heir.

"Wayne."

Selena Taylor moved her lips, her face somewhat pale from blood loss.

Craig Landers remained silent for a moment, restraining his emotions, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, the baby in your belly is safe and sound."

Sister-in-law!

Calling her sister-in-law again!

Selena Taylor was visibly agitated, struggled to sit up.

Craig Landers instinctively reached out to support her, but remembering something, he forced himself to withdraw his hand.

"Wayne, I don’t want you to call me sister-in-law, you still have feelings for me, don’t you?"

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to her aid when she fell down the stairs.

Selena Taylor sat up, staring intensely at Craig Landers.

Craig Landers lowered his gaze slightly, "Sister-in-law, please don’t say such things anymore, it might damage the brotherly bond between me and my brother."

Upon hearing this, Selena Taylor smiled slightly, "Alright, I won’t say it anymore, as long as I know you still have me in your heart, that’s enough."

She had always loved Craig Landers.

He was her man, even though she was married, she didn’t want him to forget her!

She enjoyed the superiority of being loved by him.

Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open, and someone walked in.

Craig Landers turned to look, and called out, "Brother."

The newcomer was lean, with a face similar to Craig Landers by seventy to eighty percent.

It was indeed Craig Landers’ older brother Wright Landers.

He glanced at Craig Landers, his expression somewhat cold.

Craig Landers said nothing and moved aside, giving way to Wright Landers.

Wright Landers sat on the edge of the bed, holding Selena Taylor’s hand, "What happened?"

Selena Taylor glanced at Craig Landers, her other hand resting on her belly.

"Miles, I’m pregnant, just accidentally tripped at the banquet earlier, but luckily, the baby’s fine."

Upon hearing this, Wright Landers was shocked, excitement flickered in his eyes, "Selena, you’re really pregnant?"

"Yes, Miles, I’m carrying your child."

"This is wonderful! I’m going to be a father! Selena, you must be careful walking from now on, don’t fall again."

Wright Landers hugged Selena Taylor excitedly, urging her.

Selena Taylor curved her lips slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on Craig Landers.

Craig Landers slightly lowered his gaze, feeling his heart tighten, breathing somewhat labored.

After a while, he said, "Brother, since you’re here, I’ll be heading back."

Wright Landers released Selena Taylor, his expression softening.

"Selena, you should lie down and rest."

He helped Selena lie down, then got up and glanced at Craig Landers.

"Come with me."

Craig Landers obediently followed him out.

The door to the ward closed, Wright Landers stared at Craig Landers, speaking coolly, "Wayne, do you still have feelings for Selena?"

He was the eldest of the Lockwood family, trained by Mr. Lockwood since childhood, focusing intently on business.

He was slow to understand matters of the heart.

And so, after marrying Selena Taylor, he discovered his younger brother and his wife had been former lovers.

This knowledge deeply bothered him.

But things had come to this, all he could do was endure, endure.

He believed his brother was sensible enough to know better, not to cause an embarrassing scandal over a woman.

But he wasn’t deaf, having heard that Craig Landers still longed for his sister-in-law.

After all, the two had been lovers, and gossiping about such things was a favorite hobby in high society.

Craig Landers clenched his fists tightly.

"Brother, rest assured, I’ve got a girlfriend now, in my heart, sister-in-law is just sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Wright Landers squinted, scrutinizing him as if confirming the truth of his words.

"Wayne, the Lockwood Group isn’t just mine alone, as the second son of the Lockwood family, you must take certain responsibilities, don’t cause a scandal. You’re not young anymore, since you have a girlfriend, introduce her to Mom and Dad when you have time."

Once he got married, those past matters would gradually be forgotten.

"Okay, I understand."

Craig Landers nodded, "Brother, I’ll be off then."

"Okay."

Watching Craig Landers stride away, Wright Landers squinted slightly, a mysterious look on his face.

...

Next day.

Elara Don glanced at the time, grabbed her bag and headed to the Imperial Garden.

Benjamin Harper had arrived early, and was sitting by the window, waving to her.

Elara Don saw him, smiled, and walked over.

"You’re here so early? I hope I’m not late."
