Chapter 1619

"Ah—!” Lizzy squealed as her mom lifted her up, her tiny feet perched on her mom's thighs, squeaking and giggling at the top of her lungs.

Conner had hired a whole team to help with their daughter, and there were security cameras everywhere at home-he could check on Lizzy any time he wanted.

But ever since she'd learned to shout "Ah," neither Mr. Nettleton nor Officer Chapman had gotten a decent night's sleep.

Late at night, Conner, losing his mind, stepped outside and called a friend who'd just wrangled his own son into bed. "Hey, Andre, I need to ask you something."

Andre: "Get used to it."

Conner: "I can't! Annie's losing her patience too. She can't bring herself to scold Lizzy, so she takes it out on me instead."
