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

Chapter 284 Pretended Not to Hear Amelia was playing a supporting role in a serious drama. Stella was also in this production. Finished Amelia didn't chat much with Stella. Whether Stella was acting like a diva or just exhausted, she spent most of her time lying down. Wrapped in a high-end cashmere scarf with her face covered, she isolated herself from everyone else. While Stella was busy lying around, the male lead, Matthew Cooper, didn't seek her out. Instead, he kept finding reasons to talk to Amelia. Amelia responded politely each time, always maintaining a safe distance.

She was being courteous, but Matthew kept trying to close the gap. Just as Amelia had stepped back yet again, Benjamin strode over. "Amelia," he called, his tone casual. "How much longer?" Seeing him, Amelia's eyes instantly lit up. "Just one more scene. What are you doing here?" she asked. Benjamin said, "I'll wait for you here." "Okay," Amelia then asked, "Was Nina good today?" Benjamin remained silent. Amelia paused. Alright, I get it. She reached out and gave Benjamin's hand a comforting pat. "I'll take over when I'm done.

You can rest," They spoke quietly about Nina, their voices low but their closeness obvious. Seeing their intimacy, Matthew, who had been so eager to chat, turned and walked away. Soon, Amelia finished her final scene, and Benjamin took her back to the car. Seeing Nina asleep inside, Amelia felt her heart sink. 1/3 17:18 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 284 Pretended Not to Hear She asked, "Why is she sleeping now?" It was past six in the evening. A nap this late meant a rough night ahead. Finished Benjamin explained plainly, "She refused to nap at noon. She insisted on sleeping in the car just now.

She would have cried if I didn't let her." Amelia sighed. With that sigh, she knew a long night was inevitable. Sure enough, late into the night, Benjamin and Amelia had gone from pretending to be asleep to actually drifting off, but Nina was still sitting up in the dark, wide awake. She climbed down from the bed and went exploring. She wandered all the way to William's room. William wasn't asleep yet. "Grandpa!" Nina called from the doorway, poking her little head in. William, grieving the unexpected death of his old friend, was nearly scared to death by Nina's sudden midnight greeting.

"Nina, why aren't you asleep? Where are your parents?" he asked. "Daddy, Mommy, sleep. Nina go play," Nina said. She had come to drag William out to play in the middle of the night. William truly didn't have the energy. "Nina, where's your uncle?" "Un-coo Dan'el no here." She hadn't seen Daniel. She toddled over to William. "Grandpa, go slide?" William said, "Nina, it's bedtime." Nina shook her head firmly. "No sleepy. Want slide." Her little mind hopped from one idea to the next. Seeing her determination, William didn't take her outside.

Instead, he took her to the playroom, which had its own small slide. With William's company, Nina had a grand time playing alone in the playroom. C C 17:18 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 284 Pretended Not to Hear : Finished William, who had been feeling sad, was now too busy dealing with her late at night to dwell on his grief. He said, "Nina, be careful. Don't jump! "Nina, take the toys apart gently. Don't hurt your hands. "Nina, there are blocks on the floor. No somersaults. You'll get hurt." His coaxing never stopped.

After dealing with her for what felt like ages and seeing that she was still bursting with energy, William was reaching his limit. He said, "Nina, let's sleep. If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to get up in the morning." Nina had to go back to daycare tomorrow. Amelia had let Nina skip yesterday out of sympathy, but she'd definitely make her go today. She was growing fond of the daycare, seeing how well Nina was adapting-eating by herself, taking her shoes on and off, even learning a whole clapping song. William's advice fell on deaf ears.

When Nina didn't want to listen, she simply pretended not to hear. Seeing her stubbornness, William sighed and tried a new tactic. He said, "Nina, the day after tomorrow is Saturday. If you go to sleep nicely and go to school for one more day... I will take you on a trip, okay? My friend is going back to his hometown. I need to see him off." The moment William mentioned a trip, Nina, who had been expertly ignoring him, snapped her head up. 274 。 AdminJ
