My Baby’s Daddy

This Family Has Me
“I’ll go and see who’s at the door! Miss Queenie, please sit down and rest.” After saying that, Courtney hurried to the door.
It didn’t take long for her to guide a man carrying a large box into the house. Queenie stood up in astonishment. “Mr. Reeves!”
“Miss Silverstein, is Mr. Manson here?” Ashley asked.
“Yes. He’s resting upstairs. Did he ask you to come?”
“That’s right. Mr. Manson asked me to deliver a box of things to him. In that case, I’ll be going upstairs first!” After saying that, he changed into a pair of indoor flip-flops and immediately headed upstairs.
“It’s the room on the left on the third floor,” she responded.
Ashley responded affirmatively. After arriving on the third floor, he knocked on the door to the left. The door opened, and Nigel stepped out from the room. He glanced at the box in Ashley’s hands, but the outer packaging made it difficult for anybody to see what was contained inside the box. Nevertheless, he reached out to take the box from Ashley and said, “Alright, you may return now!”

Queenie was stunned. Just what did Nigel ask Ashley to deliver? It’s such a large box, but I can’t see what’s inside from the outer packaging alone.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from the yard. Both Queenie and Courtney walked over and looked outside at the same time. They were greeted by the sight of Brandon driving in the driver’s seat and Maggie sitting in the passenger’s seat. Both of them seemed to be rather furious about something.
“Dad, Mom, what’s wrong? Is Leslie not coming?” Queenies asked curiously.
Maggie angrily snapped, “Don’t even mention it! We have completely severed all ties with the Paynes. They’ve gone too far! We only wanted Leslie to come over and testify for us, but the Paynes refused to let him come.”
At this moment, somebody else rang the doorbell again. Courtney trembled at the sound. When she saw the police car outside, she anxiously clutched at Queenie. “Miss Queenie, the police are here.”
“Don’t worry! I’m here for you.”
The two elders of the Silverstein Family did not believe that Courtney would do such a thing either, but their second daughter’s well-founded suspicion left them wondering who to trust. As Bonnie refused to sweep this matter under the rug, they had to figure out the situation. Therefore, they were left with no choice but to let Courtney be questioned by the police.
“Dad, we don’t need to involve the police in this matter. Please go outside and greet them, but tell them that we found the jewelry. So, there’s no need to trouble them any further,” Queenie said to her father.
Brandon was taken aback. “Have you found the jewelry?”
“Perhaps I accidentally misplaced them somewhere. In any case, this is a minor incident that should stay within the family. We should not involve the police in this matter.” She continued to persuade her father.
“Go on, honey. We can solve this matter behind closed doors. After all, Bonnie was the one who called the police without our consent,” Maggie added. She did not wish for the police to be involved in this matter either.
Afterward, Brandon went to greet the police and Courtney breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Bonnie’s figure appeared at the doorway. She had seen the police car from the third floor and naturally wanted to invite the police into the house so that they could investigate the case immediately.
“Mom, why didn’t you invite the police inside?” she asked in confusion.
