Chapter 53: I Like You Too
Chloe flipped through her phone book and found Quintus's number. This was the number she had saved last time when Grace went missing, afraid of missing his call.
Seeing the note, which was just a simple "a," Chloe changed it to "Quintus" and dialed the number.
On the other end, Quintus was preparing to personally drive to find Grace when suddenly his phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, his eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his hand to answer.
"It's me," Chloe's voice came from the other end.
Thinking of the tricks this woman had played last time to avoid him, Quintus snorted coldly in his heart and replied in an equally cold tone, "What is it?"
Chloe glanced at the little girl beside her. If it weren't for Grace, she might have hung up the phone upon hearing such a tone!
"Grace came to see me early this morning. If you have time, come and pick her up. Or you can give me the address, and I can take her back," she said.
At her words, Quintus's brow furrowed slightly, "Give me the address."
Chloe replied, "Imperial Court Manor."
With that, the call was abruptly ended.
Looking at the darkened screen of her phone, Chloe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Grace and said, "Your daddy will be here soon to pick you up. Be good and go back with him when he comes, okay?"
Grace nodded obediently, but she was secretly plotting. She had finally managed to stay with the pretty lady, and she didn't want to leave so soon. However, daddy was coming soon, so how could she stay a little longer?
On the side, Daniel saw through her thoughts at a glance and coolly crossed his arms. "Your daddy really dislikes my mommy, so he definitely won't let you stay here longer. I advise you to give up!"
Hearing this, Grace's eyes dimmed slightly. Indeed, her daddy didn't like the pretty lady. He even argued with the pretty lady in front of her. But she liked her! It was because of this that she had run out from home early in the morning. She didn't know why, but she just really liked her. Although they hadn't spent much time together, compared to Mirana who took care of her every day, she liked the pretty lady much more!
Right! Grace's eyes lit up again.
When she ran out in the morning, she brought gifts for the pretty lady and the little boys!
With that in mind, Grace jumped off the sofa, rummaged through her small backpack, and pulled out a delicate crystal ball. Holding it in both hands, she walked over to Chloe.
Chloe looked at her in puzzlement.
Grace handed it to her again, her big eyes filled with expectation.
Seeing this, Chloe hesitated before accepting it. "Is this... for me?"
Grace nodded, writing in her notebook: "For you. I Like you!"
Chloe couldn't help but laugh and patted her head. "Thank you, Grace. I like you too."
Daniel and Leo didn't expect Little Sister to bring gifts. They jumped off the sofa and asked eagerly, "Is it only for mommy? What about us?"
Grace smiled and nodded. She rummaged in her small backpack for a while, then pulled out two small transforming toy cars. With her short legs, she walked over to the two little boys.
Seeing what she had, the two boys' eyes lit up. They had always loved playing with these things since they were young, and mommy often bought them for them. They had been eyeing these two transforming toy cars for a long time, but the price was a bit high, and they hadn't found a good reason to ask mommy to buy them. Now, they were unexpectedly given to them by Grace! And the two boys could confirm that what she had in her hands was definitely genuine!
