Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Take Her Out

On a rather long solid wood dining table, the two sat face to face, eyeing each other with tension, neither willing to give in.

About a minute passed, and Elliana Lyle kept staring at Hannah Collins with those big, seemingly fierce but adorable eyes, as if trying to bore a hole through her.

At that moment, Hannah actually found this little girl kind of cute. No wonder Norman Bennett liked her; if it were her, she’d want to tease her too.

"What are you staring at? Eat up! Little Sprout."

"You..." Elliana glanced at Hannah’s flat chest and retorted, "Airport!"

Those three words nearly broke Hannah’s composure, and she gritted her teeth, a low voice squeezing through, "You little brat, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up?"

"I’m not afraid of you; if you dare to hit me, Norman Bennett will kick you out!" Elliana replied, taking a sip of wonton soup, smacking her lips; it tasted pretty good.

Hannah raised an eyebrow, looking condescendingly at Little Sprout across from her, "Little Sprout, Norman Bennett and I have known each other since childhood. When he was born, do you even know where you were?"

"Of course, I’m younger and prettier than you. Norman Bennett and I are officially engaged." Elliana replied sarcastically; she couldn’t get angry; she should be making Hannah angry.

"Ha!" Hannah exhaled heavily, suppressing her temper.

The two continued their standoff for a long while, each snorting coldly before ignoring each other and burying themselves in their meal.

...

After eating, Elliana hopped on one foot to the fridge, stealthily taking some snacks. Just as she was about to hop back to the master bedroom, Hannah stopped her.

"Just ate, and now you’re having snacks? Hand them over!" Hannah efficiently confiscated everything from her arms, leaving nothing behind.

Elliana stayed silent, glaring at Hannah before cursing under her breath and hopping back to the master bedroom, followed by a loud crash.

Hannah, who was still putting things back in the fridge, was initially startled, then quickly rushed to the corner.

Elliana, sprawled on the floor, grabbed the door handle to get up, twitching her injured foot a couple of times.

"What’s wrong with you? Chased by a dog?" Hannah said, looking down at the little girl in front of her.

Elliana’s eyes wandered, slightly embarrassed, but her pursed lips showed some resentment. She simply replied, "Yeah."

"Hmm? Damn!"
