Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan

Chapter 90

Richard stared at Yvonne’s big, bright eyes and completely lost his train of thought. ‘Why doesn’t this kid ever go along with the plan?‘

For the first time, he found himself at a loss for words.

Usually, people scrambled to keep up with him, but now he was the one struggling to keep the conversation going.

“Grandpa?” Yvonne blinked up at him, her soft little voice full of curiosity.

Richard cleared his throat, feeling oddly flustered. After a quick mental reset, he decided to change tactics. “Yvonne, do you like cats?”

Her eyes lit up instantly, like tiny stars twinkling. A picture of a fluffy little kitten popped into her mind, and she practically bounced in place. “I do! Grandpa, I love kittens!”

Richard smirked, throwing a glance at the butler as if to say, ‘See? I’ve got this.

He leaned in slightly, his voice smooth and coaxing, like a wolf in grandma’s clothing. “How about I take you to see some kittens?”

Yvonne gasped, completely won over. “Yes! Thank you, Grandpa!”

She beamed up at him, her little heart full of warmth. ‘Grandpa may seem serious, but if he wants to take me to see kittens, he has to be a good person.

Without hesitation, she grabbed his hand and skipped along beside him.

Meanwhile, back in the incubator, the injured snake sluggishly lifted its head, sensing that the familiar warmth was gone. It flicked its tongue once, then slowly curled up, looking utterly heartbroken.

As Yvonne reached the car, she hesitated before getting in.

She stood by the door, tilting her soft, pale face up. “Grandpa, are we taking a car to see them?”

Richard smiled. “Yep. I have a lot of kittens, so I keep them far away. Hop in, Yvonne.”

With his gentle urging, she climbed in. As the vermilion gate faded in the distance, she gripped the window and turned back. “Grandpa, shouldn’t we tell Dad?”

At the mention of Kelvin, Richard’s expression stiffened for a split second.

Meeting the little girl’s curious eyes, he quickly shook his head. “Your dad has no taste. He doesn’t appreciate cute animals, so we don’t need to tell him.”

“Oh, okay.” She nodded.
