Chapter 1062

Just then, someone knocked at the door. Betty’s sickly, sweet voice floated through. “Are you in there, Dad?”

“Come in.”

Betty opened the door and walked in with a plate of snacks. She was smiling widely.

“I’m sorry for causing you trouble today. I specially prepared some of your favorite fruits and treats to seek your forgiveness. Please don’t be angry at me anymore, okay?”

Betty set the plate on the table. She then went over to Javier, intending to act spoiled like she used to whenever Javier got angry at her for causing trouble.

Betty’s arms were left hanging awkwardly in mid-air. Her smile was dry and pitiful. “Yes, Dad. I won’t misbehave again.”

Javier said nothing else. He didn’t even eat any of the snacks Betty brought.
