Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 312

Little Nina's eyes darted around before finally landing on the figurine in Stewart's hand. After a moment's hesitation, she shook her head with surprising resolve.

"Even if you're my dad, I can't accept this gift."

Stewart was caught off guard, blinking in confusion.

It took him a while to find his voice. "Why not?"

"Because if you take someone's gift, you owe them a favor!" Little Nina raised her hand with a dramatic flourish, shaking her head as she let out a tiny, exaggerated sigh, looking every bit the miniature grown-up. "You're just trying to bribe me, and I'm not falling for it!"

Stewart: "..."

Garry, who'd been watching from the sidelines, burst into laughter.

James couldn't help but smile too. He ruffled Little Nina's hair and beamed with pride. "That's my girl! Keep that sharp mind of yours, sweetheart-no smooth- talking guy will ever trick you!"

"James." Carney scolded him, "Don't fill her head with nonsense. She's only four!"

James just shrugged. "Better to teach her how the world works early. Otherwise, it'll be too late once she's older. Look at Bryn..."

He shot Stewart a glance full of mock disapproval and shook his head with a sigh. "What a mess."

Carney: "..."

Garry lounged back on the sofa, his eyes nearly disappearing as he laughed.

Little Mario, seeing his dad so cheerful for the first time, blinked his big, dark eyes and then broke into a goofy smile of his own.

"Hey!" Little Nina cried out, pointing at Little Mario in delight. "He's smiling! Little Mario, you're so cute when you smile!"

In an instant, her attention shifted from Stewart to her little playmate.
