Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

Chapter 283 A Familiar Face Daniel agreed, "Yeah, the whole family is more interesting now." 67 Finished As they chatted about Nina, Daniel suddenly suggested, "Chloe, if Jasper keeps bothering you, just let Nina slap him. Her slaps really hurt." Chloe smiled faintly and said, "That's not necessary. Is he still at the hospital entrance?" Daniel snorted, "He is. We should tell Dad. Once Dad teaches him a lesson, he won't dare come back." "No need," Chloe said. "Maybe I haven't been clear enough with him.

I'll send him another message to make myself perfectly clear." She carefully composed a long text and sent it to Jasper. After sending it, she told Daniel, "If he's still here tomorrow, then we'll tell Dad." "Deal." Daniel nodded. He was swamped those days-keeping Chloe company, checking on Erik, and trying to spend time with Alice. The worst part was that he was broke. On Benjamin's orders, no one in the family was allowed to help him financially. After Daniel mentioned his money troubles to Alice, she offered to lend him her savings from part-time jobs. Daniel was deeply touched.

So touched, he jokingly offered to propose to her as repayment. But Alice declined. The two were currently in a state of ambiguous flirtation. Daniel was handsome, and his voice was exactly what Alice, a self-proclaimed voice fan, liked. He also made sure to be around often. He'd help when Alice was working, and he'd immediately step in if anyone bothered her. Though he often acted playfully and joked around with her, ho 't disrespectful. 1/3 17:17 Fri, Jan 16 ... Chapter 283 A Familiar Face : Without Alice's permission, he wouldn't even hold her hand.

With this approach, Daniel stood a good chance of winning her over. At the hospital, the two passed the time chatting and browsing their phones. Meanwhile, at the playground, the other two were still playing excitedly. Nina rode the little train twice. After the train, she went on a boat ride. Nina was thrilled before getting on, but once strapped into the seat and unable to move, she changed her tune. She didn't care for this kind of motionless entertainment. "Daddy, no ride!" she complained. The boat was self-propelled, and Benjamin had already taken them to the middle of the pond.

He had no choice but to row back. Cars, climbing structures, pony rides, kinetic sand pits... Nina went through one attraction after another. Her boundless energy left Benjamin speechless. Amelia used to take Nina to the playground, too, but they never did so many activities. Amelia's energy couldn't keep up. Many rides required long lines unless you paid for the expensive VIP pass, which Amelia couldn't afford. They would wait patiently, so half a day at the playground meant only a few rides. This time, with Benjamin, Nina was finally having the time of her life.

They ate lunch at the playground. After eating, Nina didn't even take a nap-she just kept playing. They played until evening. Finally, Nina slumped against Benjamin, rubbing her eyes. "Want Mommy." Benjamin had told Amelia in the morning that he'd pick her up, 2/3 17:17 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 283 A Familiar Face 420 Finished Since they were both heading to the same place-one for her mom, one for his wife-he drove straight to the film set with Nina. Before they even arrived, Nina fell asleep in his arms. Benjamin tried to wake her, but she just whimpered and refused to open her eyes, exhausted.

When he pushed too hard, she started crying in her sleep. He gave up. Once they arrived, Benjamin texted Amelia. She didn't reply immediately, so he waited in the car with the sleeping Nina. While waiting, he spotted a familiar face from not long ago-Jagger, the man who had harassed Amelia. Seeing him, Benjamin carefully placed Nina back in her car seat. He instructed the driver to watch her and got out of the car. Jagger looked like he was in rough shape. His potential investment deal with the Graham Group had fallen through before it even started, which was a major blow.

He knew he'd offended Benjamin and wouldn't dare approach him, but he had no problem targeting Amelia. Just as Jagger was psyching himself up to plead with Amelia for help and another chance, Benjamin's figure appeared in his line of sight. "Get lost." Without Nina in his arms, Benjamin didn't mince words. Those two words made Jagger freeze for a few seconds before he slunk away, utterly defeated. After dealing with Jagger, Benjamin went inside to find Amelia. 274 。 3/3 AdminJ
