CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Not a Small Matter

Everything happened too suddenly. When the bullet hit Lilian's face, she didn't make a sound, and everyone thought the child was just playing around.

"Lilian!" Francis naturally saw it and immediately supported Lilian.

Lilian's eyes were in pain and she almost couldn't stand steady.

It wasn't until Francis shouted that everyone turned their heads and belatedly realized that Oscar had hit Lilian.

Angelica pulled Oscar into her arms and scolded him pretending to be angry, "You brat! Stop fooling around."

Oscar didn't listen and struggled to shoot Lilian again, but his father stopped him in time.

"No more nonsense, give me the toy." Mike held onto the toy gun and tried to take it away, but Oscar tightly held onto it and refused to let go.

"This is mine!"

Francis pulled Lilian's hand apart and checked her eyes. Fortunately, it only hit the corner of her eye, but her whole eye was red.

He turned his head to look at Oscar, and Oscar was frightened by his cold gaze and forgot to react.

Angelica quickly tried to smooth things over and pretended to be caring as she went forward and checked Lilian's eyes. Then she said, "It looks fine. It's just a toy gun, so it shouldn't hurt."

Lilian's eye was incredibly red, and the part where she was hit was slightly bruised.

Francis glanced at Angelica and asked, "Angelica, how do you know it doesn't hurt?"

"It's just a small plastic bullet. How painful can it be? Frank, I know you care about Lilian, but do you really have to argue with a child?"

"Then should I argue with you?" Francis's eyes carried a hint of mockery. "So, as the parent, how do you plan to resolve this?"

Angelica choked. She suppressed her anger and said, "It's just a toy gun. Do you really have to..."

"Yes." Francis ruthlessly interrupted her.

Everett coldly looked at him. "What did you say?"

Francis calmly met his gaze and repeated word for word, "I said there was no need to continue with this meal. Do you think we can sit at the table peacefully in the current atmosphere?"

Francis's words made sense. At this moment, almost everyone had grudges in their hearts, so it would be difficult to eat in peace.

At this moment, Mike stepped forward and tried to mediate. "It's just a small misunderstanding. We're family, so don't let a small matter ruin our relationship."

"A small matter?"

Mike's mouth twitched. "Then what do you think?"

Francis stared at him for a while and suddenly laughed. "It seems like I made a big fuss over nothing."

"I didn't mean that..."
