Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 3255

Chapter 3255 Obedient And Considerate

In the room, the girl named Abigail kept jumping on the bed, pestering Megan to tell her a story.

Megan was completely inexperienced in coaxing children, but she was glad that Abigail was with her. That way, she would not need to face Jake alone.

“What story would you like to hear?” Megan asked as she did her best to tamp down the uneasiness in her heart. She placed her full attention on the girl in front of her instead, trying to ignore Jake’s presence.

“Snow White.”

“Ah, Snow White,” Megan mumbled distractedly.

Upon realizing that was not the voice she was expecting, she raised her head to see Jake tucking Abigail in bed.

Megan could only stare at him in silence for a moment. Then, she turned off her phone—she had been browsing for fairy tales a moment ago—and got off the bed to stand a distance away from him.

“Abigail, let Jake tell you the story instead. I’m going to take a shower first,” Megan hastily said before turning to flee the scene. The moment she realized Jake was around, awkwardness overwhelmed her, and she dared not look into his untainted eyes.

However, it seemed like Jake had no plans to let her off. He raised his brows before sharing a look with Abigail. “Abigail, Mommy doesn’t want to tell you stories, so Daddy will do it.”

The way Jake had said it sounded miserable and pitiful. It was evident that he wanted to blackmail Megan with his words. However, it barely affected Megan; she already had one foot in the bathroom. Yet, the soft voice from behind stopped her from going further into the bathroom.

“Mommy, can you tell me a story with Daddy? Instead of Snow White, I’d like to listen to Cinderella’s story.”

Abigail’s quiet voice snuck right into Megan’s heart. She curled her fingers and sighed.

“Why are you still standing there?”

It seemed like Jake had expected Megan to relent to Abigail’s wishes, for he secretly let out a smug laugh.
