The little one pushed and struggled in her scumbag dad’s arms, kicking her legs to break free. “Let me go!” she demanded.


    Elliot furrowed his brow, confused by the sudden change in the girl’s attitude towards him. Had he done something wrong? Sean looked up at his dad with a face full of anger and resentment. He wanted to tell him that he didn’t need him anymore – not after abandoning them five years ago.


    But as much as Sean hated his father, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes that even he couldn’t recognize.


    Elliot felt aplex mix of emotions rising within him. Something was definitely off with this child today – was she sick? He opened his mouth to ask when suddenly Sean kicked hard enough to wriggle out of Elliot’s grasp and fall out of his embrace.


    Rose had just finished setting down the lunch box. When she turned around and saw what happened, her pupils shrank and she rushed over to scoop up the little one before she hit the ground.


    “Are you okay?” Rose asked worriedly.


    “I’m fine,” Sean replied obediently, feelingforted by her concern for him.


    But then something strange happened: Rose put Sean down on the couch before standing up quickly and pping Elliot across the face!


    The sound echoed through the office, making everyone freeze in shock. The assistant standing nearby couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed – someone dared p Mr. Harper?


    Elliot red at Rose dangerously once he regainedposure, “You stupid woman! Do you even know what you’re doing?”


    The assistant beside them heard these words and became even more frightened. His face clearly disyed panic. Serena actually dared toy hands on Mr. Harper. He couldn’t imagine what consequences Serena would bear.


    Looking at Rose, however, there was not a trace of fear on her face.


    She red angrily at the man standing in front of her, her tone full of usation.


    “Even if you don’t like the child, you shouldn’t harm her like that! You deliberately threw her to the ground? How can you vent your anger on such a little girl?”


    And Sean was already stunned in ce, staring nkly at his mommy who was venting her anger at her scumbag dad.


    He didn’t expect that from his mom’s perspective, the situation was that the scumbag dad intentionally wanted to throw him down.


    Sean was only stunned for a second before the little devil in his heart immediately woke up.


    He might as well add another log to the fire!


    Sean immediately pouted and looked pitifully at his mother, with a tearful expression.


    “Serena, if you don’te soon, I… I might be thrown to death by him!”


    “He just treated me very harshly, I’m so scared!”


    After saying this, Sean looked weak and helpless as he reached out his small hand towards his mommy.


    Rose’s heart softened and she immediately reached out to hug the “daughter” andforted her in a soft voice.


    “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you and won’t let anyone harm you.”


    At this moment, the assistant standing on the side finally snapped out of it and realized that Serena had misunderstood Mr. Harper.


    He sighed helplessly and urgently exined.


    “Miss Tanner, things are not what you saw! It was just an ident. Mr. Harper didn’t mean to do it. The little guy was struggling and then…”


    Before she could finish, Elliot coldly interrupted. “Shut up.”


    Elliot’s lips pressed tightly together as he steadfastly stared at the pair across from him.


    The depth of his gaze was unfathomable, yet he didn’t utter a single word.


    Rose thought he was feeling guilty and finally willing to admit his misdeeds.


    She increasingly felt disgust towards this man in her heart.


    Rose shot Elliot a fierce re before turning her attention entirely to the child.


    “Alright, stop crying. We’ll ignore the bad guy. How about I take you for lunch, okay?”


    Sean looked at his mother with a pitiful expression and nodded gently.


    Humph!


    The scumbag father even wanted topete with him for Mommy. Don’t even think about it!


    As Sean was about to leave, he turned his head and gave Elliot a haughty nce, who was clearly irritated by it. He became more certain that something was off with this child today. She seemed like apletely different personpared to usual. Could it be that she had been hiding her true nature all along and he just hadn’t noticed?


    Meanwhile, Rose walked out of the building holding her little one and still fuming over Elliot’s actions earlier. Just then, the child in her arms suddenly twisted around and softly called out “Mommy.”


    Rose froze in ce.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Although children don’t have deep voices yet and both boys and girls sound simr at this age, she could tell the difference even if it was subtle.


    It turned out that she had been holding Sean all along instead of Leah!
