Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 282

"Did you hear? Mr. Ellsworth went on a date!" Mrs. Block leaned in, lowering her voice as she whispered to Little Nina, "Your Miss White heard Mr. Ellsworth was meeting someone, and she was so upset she cried!"

"What's a date?" Little Nina tilted her head, genuinely puzzled.

"It means he's looking for a girlfriend, maybe even a wife. Mr. Ellsworth isn't getting any younger-it's about time he settled down!"

Little Nina frowned. "So... will he still come to work today?"

"Oh, of course," Mrs. Block replied. "Before he left, he told me that if you came by and he wasn't back yet, I should tell you to wait for him."

Little Nina nodded and, just as she turned, spotted her mother stepping over the threshold and heading her way.

She was about to say something when, outside the clinic, she caught sight of a man and woman walking side by side.

The man was tall and lean, dressed in a crisp white shirt and black trousers. The setting sun cast a golden glow over his handsome features, making him stand out even more.

He spotted Little Nina and arched a perfect eyebrow at her.

Even from several yards away, Little Nina instantly understood what he meant with just a look.

Her dark eyes sparkled mischievously. Drawing in a breath, she shouted, "Daddy!"

Briony was startled-before she could react, Little Nina had already darted outside.

"Daddy!"
