Angel's Got A Baby novel Chapter 3

Vanessa sat beside Marcia. A warm smile slipped into her lips. "What a coincidence!" she said happily. "I forgot to introduce myself this afternoon. I'm Vanessa Wu. It's nice to meet you."

"Marcia Wei," she greeted. Suddenly she turned to Terence. "This is Terence Ji. As you can see, his golfing skills are top-notch."

"I definitely did."

Vanessa laughed lightly, not intending to leave.

Upon seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Marcia rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. "So, Miss Vanessa, would you like to have dinner with us?"

"I'm alone anyway." She shrugged. "As long as Mr. Terence doesn't mind, of course."

"I don't mind."

After saying this, he continued to gaze out the window, looking uninterested.

Rolling her eyes, Vanessa glanced at the food set on the table.

Seeing as Terence was going to pay for the meal, she decided that she would eat more. After what he had said about Kelly, she was determined to waste this man's money.

Taking this as her motivation, she began to eat even more. The awkward air leveled upon them as they ate in silence.

When they finally walked out of the restaurant, Marcia was assisting Vanessa around the pavements. The woman looked incredibly flustered from the amount of food that she had eaten.

Marcia didn't expect her to eat that much. Now, it was inconvenient for Vanessa to walk around. Her stomach had started to bulge out as she wobbled across the pathway.

"Miss Vanessa," she started. "We're actually going to the Night Palace. Will you be joining us?"

The Night Palace was one of the most luxurious clubs in the city.

"Sure!"

Terence had just paid the bill, and he was alone with a woman who was lusting after him. There was no way Vanessa was going to leave them alone.

She had to do everything to interrupt the couple.

In Vanessa's eyes, Terence could only belong to Kelly, no one else.

As soon as Vanessa entered the Night Palace, she was surprised by the noise booming from either side of the club. Twisting bodies crowded around each other at the center of the stage.

It was already approaching midnight, but for those in their mid-twenties, the night had only just begun.

However, there was something strange about the club. As Vanessa scanned the perimeters, there happened to be more men than women on the dance floor.

When she followed the pair up the stairs, she saw two men locked in an embrace.

Eyes wide open, Vanessa let out a yelp as she sped through the couple. Her face was flushed red.

Terence's eyes widened in surprise at her hurried figure. When he turned to look at what she had seen, he pursed his lips.

It seemed that the fearless girl who claimed to have his child was embarrassed about something after all.

Marcia, who had been walking in the front this whole time, furrowed her eyebrows. "Have you seen Miss Vanessa? I saw her turning around the corner and disappearing."

"No."

Actually, Terence wanted nothing more than for that woman to disappear.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing as she still couldn't see Vanessa, Marcia sighed and followed him into the room.

As soon as the manager of the Night Palace heard that Terence was coming, he hurriedly brought with him a group of women.

When they walked into the box, Marcia, who was singing quietly beside Terence, put down the microphone with a gloomy face.

He frowned.

The manager of the club was about to speak when an enchanting voice cut in.

"Who knew that you'd be coming here, man? What's wrong?"

A man with neat short red hair and expensive clothes walked into the private room.

When he saw a woman he liked, he quickly entangled his arm around her waist. She giggled and snuggled closer to his chest, but he seemed indifferent to her flirty gestures.

"I came for work."

Terence shrugged, casting a cold glance at the man.

Squinting at him, Scott Nie didn't bother to snap at him. Terence wasn't like this before. However, after what had happened two years ago, he had become indifferent to almost everyone he met.

"Have you found Kelly then?"

As soon as the words left his lips, everyone turned to Terence.

Kelly used to be one of the most beautiful women in the upper class circle. A lot of them knew her, and a lot of them had also fallen in love with her beauty and daintiness.

Terence tightened the grip on his glass. "Know your place,"

he snapped.

Scott Nie crossed his arms, unfazed by the man's threat. They had known each other long enough that they were used to each other's harsh words. "Where's Terry Ji?" he said loudly.

"I just saw him drank a lot. Will he be okay?"

Everyone in the Night Palace knew what kind of person Terry Ji was. Upon the assumption that Terry was out on a prowl, the manager immediately walked out of the room.

Although Marcia didn't know much about Terry, one of her best friends had warned her about him – how she had to avoid him at every chance she got.

Therefore, she had a bad impression of the man.

Now, the manager's panic reminded Marcia of Vanessa's absence. What if she bumped into Terry? She immediately turned to Terence. "What if Miss Vanessa's in danger?" she said hurriedly.

Reminded by Marcia, Terence didn't waste any time as he stalked out of the private room.

She wanted to follow him out, but Scott Nie quickly grabbed her arm.
