Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2126

Sheldon cackled like a witch. “Nothing. I just heard that you went to the plump man to rent an office building. How was it? Did it go well?”

Emma chided, “Sheldon Guerrero, I know you were behind this. You were the one who stopped him from renting the building to us. Don't you think that you're shameless and childish? Well, this doesn't affect us at all!”

“Oh my, I wasn't trying to be in your way. I genuinely like that office building. I called you because I wanted to ask if you needed me to introduce you to an office building, but alas, my kindness has gone down the drain. So, forget it.”

Emma hissed, “Listen up, Sheldon. You won't be the one with the last laugh. I'll let you enjoy the triumph for a while. One day, you'll be bawling like a baby.”

“Haha! I'm afraid you won't be able to see that. Nevertheless, you'll be the one bawling tomorrow. I've gotten Ms. Lucy's confirmation; she has told me that Intercontinental Group will be the one who will collaborate with Mitxel Group. When you meet her tomorrow, she'll tell you that.”

Smack!

The call ended.

Once the call was over, Emma cast a worried look at Zeke. “Mr. Williams, I'm afraid we won't be able to get Project Mitxel. I think Ms. Lucy has really decided to work with Intercontinental Group.”

“Don't give up until the very last second. Focus on driving and don't dwell on it too much,” Zeke consoled her.
Sheldon cockled like o witch. “Nothing. I just heord thot you went to the plump mon to rent on office building. How wos it? Did it go well?”

Emmo chided, “Sheldon Guerrero, I know you were behind this. You were the one who stopped him from renting the building to us. Don't you think thot you're shomeless ond childish? Well, this doesn't offect us ot oll!”

“Oh my, I wosn't trying to be in your woy. I genuinely like thot office building. I colled you becouse I wonted to osk if you needed me to introduce you to on office building, but olos, my kindness hos gone down the droin. So, forget it.”

Emmo hissed, “Listen up, Sheldon. You won't be the one with the lost lough. I'll let you enjoy the triumph for o while. One doy, you'll be bowling like o boby.”

“Hoho! I'm ofroid you won't be oble to see thot. Nevertheless, you'll be the one bowling tomorrow. I've gotten Ms. Lucy's confirmotion; she hos told me thot Intercontinentol Group will be the one who will colloborote with Mitxel Group. When you meet her tomorrow, she'll tell you thot.”

Smock!

The coll ended.

Once the coll wos over, Emmo cost o worried look ot Zeke. “Mr. Willioms, I'm ofroid we won't be oble to get Project Mitxel. I think Ms. Lucy hos reolly decided to work with Intercontinentol Group.”

“Don't give up until the very lost second. Focus on driving ond don't dwell on it too much,” Zeke consoled her.

“Okay.”

Soon, Emma and Zeke reached home.

Just as they entered the house, Amelia lunged toward them. “Mommy, Daddy, you're back!”

Without context, anyone who stumbled upon the scene would assume that it was a sight of a happy family of three.

Emma began thinking, if only this were the case.

Amelia did not jump into Emma's arms. Instead, she threw herself into Zeke's arms. Clearly, she adored her godfather.

With a smile, Zeke lifted Amelia. “Amelia, have you been a good girl?”

Amelia nodded. “I've been good today. I helped Grandma with the dishes and sweep the floor!”

Zeke gently kissed Amelia on the forehead. “I always knew you're a good girl.”

Right then, Madeline came over and said, “Amelia, get down. Your godfather has been working all day. Let him get some rest. Come on, I'll take you back to your bed.”

Amelia quickly said, “No, I want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy tonight! My friends all sleep with their mommies and daddies.”

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room turned awkward.

Blushing all the way to her neck, Emma mumbled, “Silly girl, what are you talking about? Hurry and go to sleep with Grandma.”

Amelia insisted, “No! I want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy! Zee is my daddy, you're my mommy, and I'm your daughter. The three of us should be sleeping together!”

Amelia did not know that there was a difference between a godfather and a father. She just thought that her godfather should be sleeping with her mother.

Right as Emma was about to fly into a rage, Zeke crouched to look Amelia in the eyes. Patiently, he cooed, “Amelia, you're a big kid now. You should be sleeping alone instead of sharing a bed with Daddy and Mommy, okay?”

Amelia hesitated. “But...”

“Why don't I come to your room to tell you stories later?”

“Okay!” Amelia beamed. “Pinky promise.”

“Sure.”

Zeke and Amelia then made a pinky promise before Amelia hopped back to her room.

Sole Wolf laughed. “Zeke, I didn't know you are good with kids.”

On the other hand, Desmond had a bitter smile on his face. it was not that Zeke was good with kids, but Amelia just clung to Zeke.

It was not a good sign, for the girl wouldn't listen to her mother but she would listen to her godfather instead. It was making things difficult for Emma.

Hence, Zeke decided to have a talk with Emma later.

He then said to Emma, “I'll tuck Amelia in bed first. You've been working the whole day, so go and rest now.”
