Chapter 495 The Real Coward
At noon the next day, James chased after Coy and beat him up for cheating
He had deceived James into eating a te of braised pork in brown sauce the previous day. And then, he had broken his promise and refused to eat
beef for lunch. To make things worse. he denied having promised to eat meat.
Prisci was under the impression that her father and brother were ying games. She gave a great below ofughter and it echoed in the living
room
Maria, who was used to such scenes, paid no heed to it. After Coy was sent to the same kindergarten as Mona, she hadn''t noticed any major change
in him. Apart from the fact his martial art skills have improved, he was pretty much the same.
After being beaten, Coy went upstairs with a lump in his throat. He carried Prisci in his arms as he went.
“Put her down!" James ordered from behind.
Coy stared at him straight in the eye and said. "I want to y with her."
"I am sure she doesn''t want to y with a lying child!
"You can’t decide for her." Then he locked at Prisci and said softly, "Princess, do you want to y with me?"
"Cay," Prisci uttered even though she couldn''t make sense of the situation.
Coy snorted indignantly at James and said, "Do you hear that? She wants to y with me!"
Taking his daughter from his son''s arms, James scolded him harshly, "Go back to your room and reflect on yourself!"
“No! I want Princess!"Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
Prisci noticed her brother was weeping. She also began to cry. Perhaps she was feeling sorry for him.
At the sight of his little girl crying, James'' heart softened at once. He coaxed Prisci, "Don''t cry.”
"Cay," she uttered, still crying.
James had to put Prisci back to the floor.
She staggered into Coy''s arms. The brother and sister hugged each other and their faces broke into a smile.
Seeing the bond they shared, James was quite taken aback.
When the adults were absent, Bob went to Coy and asked, "Coy, do you want toe back to my kindergarten?"
Coy shook his head and answered decisively, “No! I find the present kindergarten very challenging. The previous one wasn''t like this."
Bob contemted over his brother''s words and said, "I heard that you have a problem with Mona. You don''t seem to like her. Is that true?"
"Yes. I prefer Renee from the ss next door,” Coy answered without any hesitation. At the thought of Renee, his lips curved into a smile. She was
gentle, quite the opposite of Mona
"Coy, we are men. We shouldn''t dislike Mona. Her father often brings us interesting toys. If you act like this, her parents will be disappointed."
Listening to this, Coy frowned. He was a little reluctant. but in the end, he said, "All right! I will remember that.”
"Be nice to Mona. I just asked the chef to make some cookies. I want you to give them to her. It could fix things.”
"What if she won''t eat them?" He was afraid she would reject his offer.
"Why wouldn''t she?”
"Because she is a coward."
Bob looked at Coy and let out a helpless sigh. He knew who the real coward was. It wasn''t Mona but his little brother. However, they were in good
terms so he chose to keep his thoughts to himself. He wouldn''t bring his brother down.
In the evening, after hanging up an important call, Jamesy on the bed. He held his daughter in his arms and narrated a story to her.
Bob and Coy had yed with Prisci for a while, but now they were in their room to sleep. Maria, on the other hand, was folding children''s clothes.
Soon, Prisci gave a huge yawn and fell asleep in her father''s arms.
The room became quiet. Maria was the one who broke the silence. "I''ll be on a business trip for a few days. I am going the day after tomorrow.” she
informed. DS Group was going to be listed soon. Her days were quite packedtely.
"Do you need me to apany you? I would like to join," he offered.

Sebastian again.
In order to make Gabri happy, Sebastian had moved out of the vi where he had lived with Judy. Now he was living in another house with
Gabri
"Prisci is your daughter. You know what''s best for her,” she said. In the next few days, Maria wouldn''t be home. She couldn''t take care of Prisci.
Under the circumstance, she thought it was best to let James decide what to do.
"Okay." James waved at her. "Come here for a second.”
Maria put the folded clothes aside and walked over. "What''s wrong?"
Just when she thought it was something important, James pulled her and she fell on the edge of the bed
He gave her a kiss.
However, when Jamesy back, he bumped into Prisci, who had just fallen asleep.
The little girl squinted through bleary eyes and saw Maria pushing away James. She widened her eyes and red at Maria. “No. Don''t hit Daddy!"
Acent smile made its way to James’ face
Maria couldn''t believe how dear James was to her daughter. "Prisci, would you like it if I beat you instead?"
Hearing her mother''s words, Prisci crawled up to James and hugged him tightly. "Mommy, no, no."
Patting his daughter gently, James calmed her down. "Good girl, Princess. Your mommy was just kidding. She won''t beat you. Go to sleep!"
His words relieved her worries and Prisci finally went to sleep again. sucking her thumb.
Maria rolled her eyes and sighed deeply. "Fortunately, I still have two sons who care about me."
James said in a low voice, "Honey, what about me? Don''t forget you still have me!"
Maria rolled her eyes. She couldn''t believe how flirty he was!
Soon, Maria was abroad on the

stunned by his reaction.
James had always been cold. But ever since Maria and Prisci came to his life, he never scolded anyone. His temper was always in check.
Two employees were rebuked badly.

"I have no idea. Anyway, it doesn''t matter. He can scold us here. But when he goes back home, his wife will be the one scolding him!"
"That''s right. No matter how much he bosses around in front of us, at the end of the day, he is a ve!" Everyone in thepany was aware that
James worshipped his daughter and wife.
While this conversation was going on, a female voice cut in, “Is Mrs. Xi so fierce?"
"Of course!” After saying that, it dawned on the employee something was wrong. He wondered who this woman was.
He turned around and saw who it was. "Oh, it''s you, Ms. Song!"
Carolina smiled and said, "I was just passing by. Go ahead and continue with your work."
“Okay.” In an instant, both the men left.
Looking at their disappearing figure, Carolina shook her head helplessly.
She hade to meet the product manager of HL Group. When she finished her work and was about to leave, she overheard the conversation
between these two people.
As time passed, Chandler showed a great deal of care for Maria. As a consequence, the rtionship between the father and daughter had improved.
On the day of Maria’s second wedding, she left from the Song family house. In fact, it was Chandler who handed his daughter to James at the altar.
But this time, everyone had mixed emotions. And the way they looked at Maria was also different.
Chandler had married his mistress and brought her into the Song family. She wasn''t exactly a bad person. Both Carolina and Maria received good
treatment from her.
