Chapter 311

"Aaaah―!"

A high-pitched shriek, nearly ultrasonic, rang out as Little Nina pointed straight at Stewart. "Stranger danger!"

Stewart froze mid-step and looked her way. For a moment, his handsome face seemed uncertain.

Without missing a beat, Little Nina spun around and ran straight to James, arms stretched wide. "Godfather, pick me up!"

James grinned and scooped her up into his lap.

Now perched on James's knee, Little Nina sat tall, emboldened with her protector

at her back. She scowled fiercely at Stewart. "You're a terrible child-snatcher! How dare you sneak into someone's house to steal a kid!"

Stewart: "..."

Little Nina turned to James, her voice urgent and dramatic. "Call the police, Godfather! Tell them to come arrest him right now!"

James tried to hold back a laugh, shooting Stewart a triumphant look. "Don't worry, Little Nina! With me here, nobody's taking you anywhere."

Stewart's dark eyes never left Little Nina. His lips pressed into a thin line, expression unreadable. He didn't even spare James a glance.

Might as well be a robot, James thought, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

Meanwhile, little Mario had been left behind, looking lost and unsure. He hesitated, then glanced at Stewart, then at Little Nina, before quietly making his way to Garry.

He reached up, asking to be held.

Garry smiled and lifted his son, settling him on his lap.
