No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 348



I couldn't just ignore him, but when I opened my mouth to speak, what came out was barely better than saying nothing at all. "Just because it's not now, doesn't mean it won't be in the future."

"Daddy, I like her. She should play with Nancy."

The little girl sure knew how to put me on the spot.

But Nancy's mom was another story, her face darkening, eyes filled with suspicion as she glared at me. She probably thought I was another one of Lord's flings.

"Well then, you can play with her from now on," Lord declared as if I was some sort of playmate for hire.

I was at a loss for words, hesitant to say anything inappropriate in front of the child, so I dismissed his comment as just a way to amuse Nancy. Lord approached me, still holding Nancy. "Would you mind spending some time with my daughter? Name your price."

Was he serious? Did he think everyone was as idle and bored as he was?

But rejecting him in front of his partner and daughter would not only embarrass him but also upset Nancy.
