Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0658

When we arrived at the Coral Villa, Cory stood in awe, wide-eyed at everything in front of him. Although everything seemed new and exciting to him, he kept in mind what Nicholas had told him in the car.

"I have a daughter at home. She's very well-behaved but very timid. You can't be loud, and you shouldn't get too close to her, or you might scare her."

Cory nodded seriously, saying, "Dad told me that a man must protect women! I'll protect her from a distance!"

"Good boy. I'm sure she wants to be friends with you too, but she's shy. Can you give her some time?"

"I understand. I'll be good and won't scare her."

...

"Tabitha, look who's back-it's Daddy and Mommy-"

Before Wendy could finish her sentence, she froze when she saw that Nicholas was holding a little boy in his arms.

Her smile stiffened, and the atmosphere instantly grew tense. She subtly shielded Tabitha's face, her expression wary as she glanced at the distance between the two children, as if afraid something might go wrong.

Tabitha also noticed the little boy in Nicholas' arms. I thought she might react with jealousy or displeasure at seeing her father holding another child, but she merely glanced at him indifferently before turning her head and resting it on Wendy's shoulder. She barely reacted to me or Nicholas either.

My heart ached. I forced a smile and went over to pick up Tabitha. Turning to Cory, I said, "Cory, this is our daughter that Mr. Nick mentioned earlier."
