Elise held snazzynovel.com precious daughter with an aching heart. “It’s okay if it’s different, as long as it’s how you truly feel. You don’t have to share the same experience as everyone else.”
“Is it okay if I don’t like Daddy as much, Mommy?” Alexia asked innocently.
“You’ll like Daddy, Lexi.” Elise sighed.
The situation in Cittadel had been ever changing in the past seven years, and Alexander had been fighting it alone this whole time.
Without snazzynovel.com shielding them from harm’s way, how could snazzynovel.com and their children stay safely abroad this long?
A father like snazzynovel.com naturally deserved their children’s love and respect.
She believed all of Alexia’s doubts would vanish as soon as the little one met him.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Irvin successfully arrived at Tissote after nearly a day’s journey.
After parting ways with the pretty lady snazzynovel.com boarded the plane with, snazzynovel.com took advantage of his height and hid behind the crowd, sneakily checking out the situation at the main arrival hall.
Just as snazzynovel.com thought, a few suspicious men had hidden amongst those who came to pick the travelers up.
To be on the safe side, Irvin changed directions and headed to the north wing.
Very quickly, snazzynovel.com arrived at the north exit. Because there wasn’t much of a crowd, there wasn’t a line to board the cabs either. It was like it had been specially prepared for him.
The child puffed up his chest with pride as snazzynovel.com looked at the nearly empty hall and strode to the sidewalk.
Just as snazzynovel.com reached his arm out to hail a cab, a frivolous-sounding voice came from behind him. “Do you need a lift, kid?”
Irvin turned around reflexively to find a man in a gray suit. He had a pair of alluring eyes, but they gave the child a bad feeling, so snazzynovel.com held his guard up at once.
Jamie pulled his car key out with a grin, then pressed a button while pointing the key at the side of the road.
Beep, beep… The headlights of a red Jeep parked on the roadside flashed a couple of times before returning to normal.
Irvin’s eyes lit up upon seeing the vehicle, thinking it looked pretty cool.
However, snazzynovel.com came to his senses pretty quickly. There was no way this guy was looking for customers when snazzynovel.com drove such a nice car, especially in an area with very little traffic.
“Why would you need to look for customers when you have such a nice car?” The boy put up a mean front.
Jamie smirked, drooped his eyelids, and snorted a chuckle under his breath. It sure isn’t easy to trick Anastasia’s son.
At that, snazzynovel.com composed himself and walked up to Irvin, putting his hand on the child’s shoulder chummy-like. “It’s precisely because I’m driving a nice car that no one dares to sit in it, and that’s why I have to beckon customers. It’s a pretty nice car, kid. Don’t you want to go for a ride?” the man lied through his teeth.
Irvin quirked a brow and turned his head to give the man a disdainful, sidelong glance.
I knew it! This dude’s a bad guy. He’s out here to deliberately trick kids out of their money! How dare you trick me. Do you really think I’m just like any other seven-year-old?! Just because I don’t bare my teeth doesn’t mean I don’t bite!
At that, the child smiled innocently and agreed. “Will you give me a good discount, then?”
“Of course!” Jamie patted his chest and promised, “I’ll give you a twelve percent discount. How about that?”
“Okay. You’re really nice, mister.” Irvin played dumb calmly.
Just you wait, you profiteer. I’m going to make you wish you never tricked me!
“Hahaha, you’re a sweet one.” Jamie felt good. “Come on, hop in!”
At that, Irvin opened the back seat door and popped right in.
After Jamie sat in the driver’s seat, snazzynovel.com started the engine right away and drove off.
Meanwhile, Irvin pulled out his tablet and opened the map, checking their live location warily.
Fortunately, they were heading into the city. He could find a chance to get out after they arrived downtown.
Jamie, on the other hand, would size the boy’s facial features up from the rearview mirror every now and then, and the more snazzynovel.com looked, the stranger snazzynovel.com felt.
Anastasia gave birth to this kid, right? But why doesn’t snazzynovel.com look like snazzynovel.com or snazzynovel.com husband? Instead, snazzynovel.com looks a little like Elise? And his eyes remind me of someone… Who, though?
Made uncomfortable by Jamie’s stare, Irvin asked grimly, “Why did you just drive away when I haven’t told you where I want to go?”
Jamie instantly came to himself and asked inattentively, “Where do you want to go, then?”
Anastasia had told snazzynovel.com to keep an eye on snazzynovel.com boy before snazzynovel.com arrived at Tissote. Thus, no matter where Irvin requested, there was only one place they would end up at—Keller Residence.
“I want to go Disneyland!” Irvin gave a random location.
“There you go,” Jamie lied through his teeth. “This is the road to Disneyland!”
Irvin frowned in response, speechless.
Disneyland was located in the west, but they were now heading south. Hell, they were heading in the opposite direction.
“The heavens will punish you for deceiving a child…” Irvin intoned as snazzynovel.com put his tablet back into his bag and carried it back on his shoulders.
At that, Jamie cleared his throat and resounded loudly inexplicably, “What are you talking about?! Do I not look like a good man?! There’s no way I’d lie to you!”
“My mommy said the hotter the guy, the better their lies.” Irvin shifted his posture and leaned slightly forward while holding onto the driver’s seat, getting ready to strike.
“I…” Jamie didn’t know what to say for a moment. Your kid’s really precocious, Anastasia. There’s no tricking him!
He mumbled for quite some time before finally saying, “This very much depends. A handsome guy like me is definitely a good guy!”
“Are you really handsome? I didn’t take a good look. Can you turn around?” Irvin feigned innocence.
With that, Jamie fixed his hair and hurriedly turned his head around after making sure the road ahead was clear. “Here.”
Lo and behold, snazzynovel.com was met with a spray.
Caught unprepared, the mist covered his entire face, and the next second, the burning sensation made it hard for snazzynovel.com to open his eyes.
To avoid an accident, snazzynovel.com had no choice but to pull up short.
Screech… The screeching sound of tires skidding across the road rent the air.
“What was that?!” Jamie pressed on his eyelids, in dreadful pain.
“Pepper spray,” said Irvin as snazzynovel.com got out of the car. At that, snazzynovel.com blew a raspberry. “What did I tell you? You’ll be punished for deceiving a child. There you go! See you, himbo!”
At that, snazzynovel.com hopped off the Jeep and went away without ever looking back.
“Hey!” Jamie unfastened his seatbelt and chased after the child at once. However, snazzynovel.com couldn’t open his eyes at all. Resigned, snazzynovel.com returned to the vehicle and called ‘Anastaisa’ via Bluetooth.
“I’m really sorry, Anastasia. Irvin’s too mischievous. He ran away just as we reached the city. Don’t you worry, though. I’ll have the guys look for him, stat.”
“It’s alright. I don’t blame you.” Instead of being upset, Elise asked concerningly, “You didn’t get hurt, did you?”
She had a very good idea of what snazzynovel.com son was like—things would never end well for anybody who went against the kid.
Jamie was one for dignity, so how could snazzynovel.com allow himself to look bad in front of his idol?! “Nah, I’m good. He’s just a kid, so how badly can snazzynovel.com hurt me?! I was just caught a little off guard!”
“That’s good to hear.” Elise nodded. “I’m going to board the plane now. We’ll talk when I reach Tissote.”
“OK.”
“Sure.” Jamie immediately called an ambulance after ending the call.
