Husband

The servants standing by were so nervous that they held their breaths. It was a taboo to mention Vera. An old servant had mentioned her once, and he was never seen again. Today, their “reckless little guest kept talking about Vera, but Carlos wasn’t angry. 

“She… Emotions surged within Carlos, He swallowed. In the end, he only said. “She is very beautiful…” 

“How beautiful” Is she as beautiful as me!” Catherine blinked, pointing to her chubby latle face, smiling innocently and brightly. 

Coincidentally, the servants turned on the lights as it was growing dark. Carlos was momentarily caught between illusion and reality. He felt a though Vera was sitting right before him. He reached out excitedly, wanting to grasp the ghost that haunted his dreams but caught nothing 

There was only Catherine 

“Who is your mommy?” Carlos asked again, unwilling to give up Catherine had told him her mother was a beauty when he asked previously. It wasn’t the answer Carlos wanted 

To his surprise, Catherine seemed a bit annoyed this time. “Mr. Monroe, why do you keep asking about my mommy? Are you trying to pursue her! You can’t do that. I already have a daddy” 

Carlos couldn’t help feeling angry and amused. He rubbed Catherine’s head. Why were children so mature nowadays? 

“Mr. Monroe, you haven’t answered my question.” Catherine wanted to know if her daddy also loved her mommy hit was important to her and her mommy. Catherine’s soft and gentle voice made her question seem cute and innocent. 

Carlos smiled and asked in return, “Does your daddy love your mommny 

“Of course. Daddy said he would die for Monuny,” Catherine answered seriously. Her Uncle James had always said their ideal father should do that. But Catherine didn’t understand why her answer drew sneaky grins from the servants. 

“Really?” Carlos was inexplicably annoyed. He was curious about the father of such a mischievous little garl 

Just then, the butler rushed in. “Mr. Monroe, Miss Flynn’s parent is here.” 

A few well–trained bodyguards dressed in suits barged in after him. They emanated a murderous aura. A tall and handsome man stood at the front exuding elegance and nobility. 

“Unc–Catherine almost blurted out the word “Uncle,” but she stopped herself and called out, “Daddy” 

They had agreed that the children would address James as “Daddy” before others. 

Carlos felt irritated seeing Catherine jumping happily off the couch and waving at the man. It was as if his beloved treasure was taken from him. 

“Little troublemaker! Why did you come to someone else’s house e without permission” James quickly bent down, hugging his niece. He thought of how anxious Vera was and couldn’t resist reprimanding Catherine. She was too bold. How could she come to a stranger’s house without her 

consent? 

Catherine bowed her head and pouted. I’m sorry. She had done it to save her mommy and Neil. If it weren’t for Samuel taking a risk and impersonating Neil, how would her mommy and Neil escape? Catherine had to come to the Monroe family. If Samuel was exposed, she could save Samuel using her curses. 

Catherine wouldn’t admit that she came to see her daddy. 

“I was the one who invited Catherine Carlos waved off his bodyguards and stared coldly at James. How could James bear to scold Catherine when she was so adorable! 

“I didn’t agree to it, Mr. Monroe, James retorted 

As Vera had instructed James repeatedly to leave when he had Catherine, he turned to leave the man who almost killed Vera after stating coldly. “T don’t want this to happen agatti 

“Mr. Monroe” Catherine called out at the same time. 

James halted, looking puzzledly at Catherine Could Catherine out bear to part with the murderer after spending two hours with him? Was it because they were related by blood” 

James softened his your “Catheter, what do you want to tell me?” 

Catherine did not want to leave. She had a pleasant time with her daddy. However, Samuel told Cyfferine their mother would find out if she didn’t go back to help Neal soon 

Samuel had explained much to Catherine, but she couldn’t understand. She only knew that the consequences would be severe. So, Catherine

12:47 PM 

grabbed Carlos’s hand and said. “Bye, Mr. Monroe. Thank you for your hospitality” 

Carlos saw Catherine’s reluctance and was consumed with a desire to take her from James. However, Carlos suppressed the impulse, not wanting to frighten Catherine. 

Just entered the 

“Catherine, it’s good to be polite, but it’s not necessary for some scum. Even though James’s voice grew softer, Averie, who had ju room, heard it. 

Averie had carefully planned the kidnapping, but she gained nothing in the end. She blamed those who executed the plan. Fortunately, they assured her no one would trace it back to her. Only then did she feel relieved. 

Averie seized the moment to drop by when Carlos was comforting the little bastard to show she cared too. 

She didn’t expect there would be outsiders. It was great. After all, Carlos and her were a loving couple in front of others. 

Who 

are you calling scum! Make yourself clear!” Averie assumed the role of lady of the house, making James even more disgusted. 

If James weren’t holding Catherine, he would have dealt with them. Suppressing his anger, James sneered. 1 misspoke. Calling some people cum‘ would be letting them off too lightly” 

“You!” Averie was so angry that she wanted to slap James. When she saw James’s face, she remembered him as the handsome guy she encountered at the airport who deliberately embarrassed her. 

“Averie, do not be rude to guests,” Carlos reprimanded Averie because Catherine was frightened. 

Catherine shrank into James’s arms when she saw Averie, making Carlos’s heart ache. 

“Carlos!” Averie felt aggrieved. She grabbed Carlos’s arm and spoke coquettishly. “He tricked me at the airport and even took indecent photos of me. You can’t let him go. You have to punish him”
