Yoda walked up to the remaining bodyguard, who was scratching his body non-stop, and whispered, “Do you want to know how to stop the itch?’
The bodyguard looked up at him in amazement. “You know how? Tell me!”
Yoda smiled and brought his palm down on the guard’s head, knocking the latter unconscious. It’s easy. You won’t feel the itch if you’re out cold.
The man then pushed the door open and turned to nod at Nina.
The two little girls beamed and ran into the room, with Yoda following closely behind them. What they saw made their jaws drop.
“Ms. Lane, please accept these roses from me. They represent my undivided attention to you,” Levant said affectionately as he handed the bouquet to Nicole.
Before the latter could open her mouth to refuse, the two girls came rushing to her side.
“Mommy! There you are!”
“Mommy, you forgot your debit card. We brought it here for you!”
The mother looked at the card, her expression darkening. I didn’t forget it; I just don’t plan on using it anymore…
However, since her children came all the way here to give her the card, she forced herself to smile and patted their heads.
Maya quickly scanned the room, and she soon spotted all the food on the table. She couldn’t help but gulp at the sight.
“Are you hungry?” Nicole turned to Levant. “Will it okay for my daughters to join us?”
“Of course. I’ll treat them like they’re my own.”
His words irritated both Maya and Nina. We don’t need you to do that! We only need one daddy!
Nina pouted and fixed her gaze set on the roses. “Mister, what are you doing with all the flowers?” the little girl questioned as she crossed her arms.
“Yoda, what are all these?” the girl asked while staring at Levant with a look of suspicion.
“Mister, Mommy already has Daddy. You can take her away from him,” Maya stated blatantly.
Things had turned awkward for Levant because of the little girls’ statements. Your daddy is dead, and your mommy needs someone to take care of her.
