    Chapter 1163


    Weston frowned and shot a nce at the child.


    For some reason, the sight of this girl quickened his breathing


    Nicole grimaced as soon as she saw this.


    “Where did this girle from?” she asked. “What a rude child!”


    “Shut up,” Weston snapped at her as soon as he heard her, and his hawkish eyesnded hovered over


    her head.


    Weston‘s look gave Nicole a fright. She soon mmed up and dared to say not a single word after that.


    “Unkie...” Emma softly mumbled as she got up to her feet and rubbed her eyes. “I‘m sowwy...”


    Emma couldn‘t speak properly yet, but she remembered what her mother taught her–she had to always


    apologize if she bumped into someone.


    The little girl‘s heartful apology instantly warmed up  Weston‘s expressions.


    “It‘s okay,” he responded tenderly and, with a rare disy of patience, kneeled down in front of the girl,


    asking, “Where are your parents?”


    Emma shook her head in confusion. She had no clue what the word “parents” meant.


    Weston chuckled and rubbed her head before asking,” Where‘s your mommy and daddy?”


    Emma understood what he meant now. She nodded and quickly answered, “In the westwoom!”


    Weston frowned in disapproval. What kind of parents would leave such a young girl unattended and let


    her roam about the whole ce on her own?


    Everyone else at the table was still examining the little girl. She was certainly beautiful and was probably


    around two or three years old. She was also so adorable that anyone who saw her would be tempted to


    pinch those chubby cheeks of hers.


    And in fact, it was exactly what Weston did next.


    “Let’s go find your mommy and daddy,” he said after pinching Emma’s cheeks.


    Emma blinked as she stared at Weston’s face and nodded her little head. Without thinking, she reached


    out to take


    Weston’s hand.


    Her tiny hand felt pillowy soft to Weston’s touch. He nced down at her, unable to fathom why he felt


    so  fond of this girl.


    Emma then stretched out her hand and cried, “Pick me  up, Unkie!”


    Daisy had been frowning deeply all along. She remembered how Weston never liked children at all.


    Fearing that he would be annoyed, she rushed over and asked Emma, “Why don’t youe with me so


    I can take you to your mommy and daddy, hmm?”


    Emma was surprised that a pretty woman suddenly showed up and talked to her. She swiftly hid behind

    Weston to avoid Daisy, looking a little frightened.


    “It’s fine,” Weston quickly picked the girl up in his arms.


    “I‘ll do it. You guys should continue eating.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, he strode away.


    “Mr. Ford,” Daisy dabbed her mouth with the napkin and got up to follow him. “Let me help you.”


    Seeing this, Nicole pushed her chair away and rose to her feet as well, fully intending to follow them.


    “I‘ll go with you too!” she insisted. “I‘m good with children!”


    Daisy stopped in her tracks and turned around to re at Nicole.


    “What are you doing?” she snapped.


    “If you can go with him,” Nicole argued, “then why can‘t


    I??


    As the two women were busy arguing with each other, Weston had already left with the little girl in his


    arms.


    At that moment, a loud noise rang from upstairs.


    “We‘re so sorry, Madam! We will absolutely help you find


    your daughter!”

    “We’re incredibly sorry, Madam! This is the waitress‘ fault! We will check the security cameras right


    away!”


    Ste almost didn‘t hear a word that they were saying. She sped Elias to her chest as her heart


    almost burst with anxiety.


    She had only left with her daughter for a few minutes to clean up her son, but just as she got back, all


    she saw was an empty room without a soul in it.


    Her first reaction after realizing that Emma had disappeared was to call for the waitress, but


    unfortunately, she was just as clueless as Ste was when asked about Emma‘s whereabouts.


    Ste could hardly describe how she felt then. It was just as numbing as if she had fallen into a tub of icy


    water on a hot day.


    But she had only left Emma there for a few minutes! Where could she run to in that short span of time?


    She was only a tiny girl, after all...

    “I don’t care for your apologies! The most important  thing is to find my daughter no matter what!”


    She took a deep breath. Her hands were shaking violently,  but she still forced herself to keep her


    composure.


    What she didn’t notice was that as she was uttering those  words, a tall and muscr man who was


    carrying a young  girl in his arms downstairs suddenly stopped in his tracks  and turned his head towards


    her.
