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

Chapter 292 Kept Sneaking Glances Fineshed One of them threw a slap, the other swung a fist, and they started fighting right in Harper's arms. Luckily, William reacted swiftly. Seeing the two kids come to blows, he immediately pulled Nina back. "Nina, no hitting! What's this all about? Don't you love playing with big kids? Why are you fighting with him now?" he asked, puzzled. Nina huffed angrily, tattling, "Bad boy! So bad! Emily bad! He bad." In her rant, she dragged Emily's name into it.

Michael, who happened to be walking out of the house just then, heard this and looked up as if he'd seen a ghost. And then he really did-Nina had been brought here! Nina was still talking about Emily. Hearing Nina call Emily bad, Noah immediately defended her. "Emily best! Emily give me candy. Many candy. You got candy? Emily buy me toys. You got any? I like Emily. My daddy like, too." Noah was four and spoke much more clearly than Nina. But his clear words sent a chill down Michael's spine. Michael immediately tried to duck back into the room.

But Harper, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, suddenly turned and spotted him trying to slip away. She called him over. Her expression hadn't yet turned stormy. "Michael, Mr. Graham is here. Come and say hello. Also, Noah and Nina had a little disagreement. You're the father; help sort this out." She called Michael over. His legs felt a little wobbly as he approached. Once he was there, Harper didn't address him immediately. Instead, she continued questioning Noah, "Noah, how else has Emily been good to you?

As Noah launched into his list, Michael knew he was finished. He couldn't wait for William to leave and interrupted Noah urgently, clarifying to Harper, "Harper, Emily and I-there's nothing going on." "Emily?" Harper repeated, her tone cool. "You're on a first-name basis. How nice." "There's really nothing! You can check my phone if you don't believe me!" Michael insisted.

"Oh, is that so?" Harper wasn't usually one for sarcasm. She couldn't keep it up for long, and her patience was already worn thin right now. Harper handed Noah over to William, asking him to keep an eye on the boy. After telling William she had something to attend to, she marched Michael back into the house. William was a bit stunned by the turn of events. Not expecting this drama, he took Nina and Noah outside to look at the scenery, hoping to shield them from the tension. The area was beautifully landscaped, with a steady stream of tourists coming to enjoy it.

Noah hadn't wanted to go with William initially, but when William said he would help judge who was right in their disagreement, the boy followed, albeit with a sullen look on his face. William already knew what had happened from Sally's report. He tried to be fair. "Noah, it was wrong to try to damage another child's painting. That child worked hard on it. How would you feel if someone ruined your things?" Then he looked at Nina. "Nina, if you see someone damaging things next time, you should tell the teacher.

Don't hit them." His advice to Nina was partly out of self-interest-he was afraid Nina would get hit back. Noah was a sturdy kid, and Nina was clearly outmatched. William thought his mediation went well, but neither child was particularly receptive. They glared at each other, clearly still not ready to play together. 2/3 17:19 Fri, Jan 16 Chapter 92 Kept Speaking Islami es Nina, tired of listening, wriggled out of William's arms to go play on her own Noah wandered off in another direction.

With his mediation a failure, William had no choice but to follow Nina The place was scenic, but it was also full of bugs. William had no interest in insects, but Nina was fascinated. She caught them all-shelled or not-with her bare hands. Just looking at some of them made William break out in goosebumps. "Nina, let's not play with these. They might bite your hands." Nina shook her head, not listening. She lined up the captured bugs, making them march in a row on the ground. Her way of playing was something William couldn't watch, but Noah, off to the side, kept sneaking glances. 274 AdminJ
