Hapter 573


    Chapter 573 Banter


    Faced with his grandmother’s expectant gaze, Nathan felt a little awkward, but he wasn’t used to


    getting piggyback rides.


    Unlike Nicole, save for his mommy, Nathan rarely got close to other people.


    In essence, he wasn’t as friendly as Nicole was.


    “Nathan?”


    After Mary called his name, Nathan could only say hastily, “Let’s just go, Grandma. If we drag it out any


    longer, we won’t be able to catch up to the others.”


    When Mary heard that, she knew that the piggyback ride wasn’t going to happen anymore.


    It didn’t matter; holding hands was fine too.


    Moreover, she was wearing a sequined jacket, so if she gave Nathan a piggyback ride, it would be


    quite


    ufortable for him.


    In the end, Mary could only give up on the idea. She held his hand as they walked forward.


    Seeing that Mary no longer mentioned the piggyback ride, little Nathan finally sighed in relief.


    Tony and two drivers were waiting at the airport exit. Probably because they had waited for too long,


    Tony couldn’t help but say, “The nended ages ago. Why hasn’t the childe out yet?”


    Sensing Tony’s anxiety, the driver beside him spoke up tofort him. “Don’t worry, Mr. Selwyn. It’s


    almost New Year’s Day, so they probably brought more luggage than usual. They would need more


    time to get their luggage.”


    When Tony heard the driver say that, he felt that thetter had a point, so he stopped getting anxious.


    Still, he


    couldn’t help but smoke a cigarette.


    A few minutester, the driver suddenly said in tion, “Look, Mr. Selwyn. Isn’t that Miss Victoria?”


    When Tony heard his daughter’s name, he hastily looked in that direction. However, no matter how


    hard he looked, he couldn’t spot any familiar figures.


    “Where? Why don’t I see my daughter?”


    “Over there.” The driver pointed in a particr direction. Tony looked over, but he still couldn’t see his


    daughter.


    He was about to ask the driver if thetter had problems with his eyesight and if it were a safety risk to


    hire a driver with eye issues, but he saw a familiar figure at longst.


    When Tony saw the person, he narrowed his eyes slightly.


    It was ric.


    Soon, Tony noticed that ric was carrying a girl on his back.


    Meanwhile, the girl was none other than Victoria, the daughter he had been looking for!


    Tony fell silent.


    The driver said with a grin, “Do you see her now, Mr. Selwyn? Miss Victoria is on someone’s back.”


    Tony was instantly speechless.


    Just a moment ago, he thought that the driver was seeing things and that he shouldn’t hire a driver with


    eye


    issues.


    Now, it seemed like the driver was far too capable. Tony couldn’t spot his daughter even after


    searching for so long, but the driver found her right away.


    In an instant, Tony felt extremely awkward.


    Still, his focus quickly returned to his daughter. Even though his daughter was getting carried on


    someone


    else’s back, in such a situation…


    Why is Snowball on someone else’s back? Is she feeling unwell?


    Tony knew his daughter best, and he knew that she was an especially proud woman. If she wasn’t


    feeling under the weather, she wouldn’t let anyone carry her on their back in a public ce like the


    airport.


    After realizing that his daughter might be feeling unwell, Tony began to worry.


    Is Snowball okay?


    Victoria spotted the exit from a distance away. At the same time, she also saw her father standing there


    with two drivers apanying him.


    When their gazes met, the two drivers waved at them excitedly.


    Tony, however, stood where he was and looked at her with a worried gaze.


    When Victoria saw Tony’s anxious expression, she immediately guessed what he was thinking. She


    hastily said to ric, “We’re almost there, so put me down.”


    Unexpectedly, ric held her even tighter. He had no intention of putting her down. Instead, he turned


    her excuse against her and said, “Since we’re almost there, you won’t miss the few remaining steps.


    Let me carry you into the car.”


    Victoria fell silent.


    “It’s okay, I’ve already spotted my dad.”


    “Correction, our dad.”


    Victoria didn’t respond.


    She was exasperated. “If we walk over there like this, my dad will definitely think that something


    happened to me, and he’ll start interrogating me.”


    When ric heard that, he froze.


    “However, if you put me down right now, he’ll think that we’re just messing around. He won’t ask too


    many questions.”


    ric originally feared that Victoria would be too exhausted, so he wanted to carry her into the car.


    When he heard her mention the greater problem. he had no choice but to change his mind.

    “I’ll put you down right now, okay? Can you walk on your

    own?”


    “I can walk just fine. You were the one who insisted on carrying me-


    When Victoria mentioned that, ric was speechless.


    “You’re saying I’m at fault for carrying you on my back now, eh?”


    “Yes, that’s right.”


    Victoria used him boldly, saying, “Who told you to carry me, anyway? Come on, put me down


    already. If we carry on any further, my dad will start bombarding me with questions.”


    Seeing that they were getting nearer to Tony, ric could only stop walking and put Victoria down.


    As soon as Victoria stepped on the floor, she immediately put some distance between her and ric.


    When ric saw her like that, he couldn’t help butment on her behavior.


    “What an ingrate.”


    Victoria huffed. “So what if I am?”


    She adjusted her bag and smoothed her outfit, then took ric’s hand. “Let’s go.”


    Tony was worried that his daughter was feeling unwell, which was why she required ric to carry her


    on his back. To his surprise, she got down shortly after.


    She seemed quite steady as she stood there, but she looked a little shy somehow.


    Just then, the driver beside him spoke, grinning. “Look, Mr. Selwyn. Miss Victoria’s partner is so nice to


    her. He carried her on his back when they got off the ne. Looks like he treasures her too much to let


    her walk on her


    own.”


    ”


    Tony was confused.


    Was he too old to understand young people’s thoughts these days?


    When he saw his son–inw giving his daughter a piggyback ride, his first subconscious reaction was


    to worry


    whether his daughter had gotten hurt.


    However, to other people, it was a man’s way of treasuring his wife.


    Tony never thought that interpretations of a single scene could differ so much with varying identities.


    Thinking about this, Tony couldn’t help but reach up and touch his nose. He had a sheepish look on his


    face.


    Was he overthinking things when he got worried about his daughter’s health?


    Was that simply some sort of banter between couples?


    When Tony thought about it earnestly, he was more or less convinced.


    He decided not to ask about itter. He would just ignore it, or it would look quite awkward if he did.


    Soon, the couple walked up to them.


    Even from a distance away, Victoria smiled joyously at her father.


    “Dad!”
