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

Chapter 291 Put Nina Down : "I'm really afraid Nina won't behave out there." Amelia fretted. Nina really was quite a handful. Finished Benjamin held her hand, his voice low and reassuring. "There will be plenty of people watching her. Don't worry." Amelia nodded, then looked up at him. "Benjamin, you don't need to pick me up after work today. I'll come get you. Let's eat out tonight." Benjamin agreed with a quiet, "Okay." With Nina gone, Amelia and Benjamin had more time for themselves. Amelia planned to make up for Benjamin's missed birthday today, though she hadn't told him her plans yet.

They each had their own work to do during the day. Meanwhile, Nina, who had been taken by William, managed to chatter with the driver for a while after getting in the car. But after playing and talking for less than an hour, she grew restless. She said, "Grandpa, no car." "Sweetheart, just a little longer. We're not there yet," William coaxed, pulling out the snacks he'd prepared in advance. Nina quieted down for a while with the snacks. Then William put on a cartoon for her. She settled again for a bit, watching TV.

But as she watched, she didn't just settle-her little head lolled to the side, and she fell fast asleep. William held her in his arms, covered her with a light jacket, and let her sleep. Gabriel was to be buried in a village in another city, The village had a well-developed tourism industry and a decent economy. 1/3 17:19 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 291 Put Nina Down Finished It was precisely because of the good environment that William felt comfortable bringing Nina. Some fresh air and healthy, green produce will do her good. The drive took nearly five hours. By the end, Nina was utterly listless.

Seeing her so drained in the car made William's heart ache. He said, "Nina, we're here. The village has seasonal fruit. We can have some as soon as we get down." William carried Nina out of the car. Their accommodation, Bennett House, while not as grand as the Graham Residence, was a lovely self-built three-story house. In the yard, chickens and ducks clucked and quacked. A cat and a dog lounged together by the doorway, the picture of leisure. Nina, who had been so listless, instantly perked up. "Wow!" She pointed at the chickens. "Chicken! Wow!" She pointed at the ducks.

"Duckie!" With so many little animals, Nina was already getting excited. Just as she was getting happy, she spotted someone familiar-not an animal this time, but a child, the child she had hit. "Grandpa," Nina called, pointing out the boy to William. William looked where she pointed. "Nina, that little boy is Noah. Do you want to go play with him?" He carried Nina over to Noah. Noah knew William. He usually called William "Grandpa William." But this time, even with William right in front of him, he didn't say a word.

Noah's mother, Harper King-the heiress of the King family-walked up from behind. 2/3 7:19 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 291 Put Nina Down Finished Seeing Noah's silence, she smacked the back of his head. "Noah, why aren't you greeting him?" Noah, face sullen, mumbled "Grandpa William" under her intimidation. Satisfied, Harper then turned her attention to Nina. She reached out and took Nina's chubby little hand. "You must be Nina! You're so pretty.

Now that you're here, make yourself at home and have a good time." Harper had a sweet-looking face, but her personality was forthright and generous, a mismatch with her looks. She spoke to Nina with a smile. Nina, granting her the courtesy, let her hold her hand. "Hold!" Nina even stretched out her arms, asking to be picked up. Harper, pleasantly surprised by such an initiative and an unshy child, laughed. "Alright, I'll hold you." She took Nina from William. The moment she had Nina in her arms, Noah at her feet protested.

"Mommy, don't hold her!" Noah, still holding a grudge from being hit by Nina and having his own strike blocked by Sally, was furious to see Nina in Harper's arms. He tugged on Harper's pant leg, demanding she put Nina down. Seeing him pull, Harper simply bent down and scooped Noah up, too. She held both children at once, distributing her attention equally. "There, is that better? Everyone gets a hug." The two children were not appeased. Held on either side of Harper, they both acted at the same time, the very next second. 274 AdminJ
