No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 801

"I don't want to get involved in this mess. You're resourceful, aren't you? Figure it out yourself," she said, tugging at Nancy. "Come on, can't you see Mr. Clark is busy? He doesn't have time to entertain you."

"But I want to play! If he can't, then you play with me," the little girl pleaded, her charm hard to resist.
