Ms. Escape Marrying to Run Fighting to Rise novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Campaign of Flattery

Amelia knew her daughter too well.

William wasn’t convinced by her judgment.

He defended Nina, “Nina isn’t trying to skip school; she’s not that sneaky. She’s just embarrassed to be seen.”

Hearing this, Amelia didn’t argue.

She simply bent down and asked Nina, “Nina, if we don’t go to school today, will we just stay home?”

Nina shook her head decisively. “No.”

Her chubby finger pointed toward the door. “Playground.”

Amelia raised an eyebrow. “The playground will be full of people. Aren’t you pretty anymore? You still want to go somewhere crowded?”

Nina nodded vigorously. “Yeah!”

At the mention of the playground, Nina’s concerns about her appearance vanished.

William was speechless.

As William waited for Amelia’s verdict on whether Nina would go to school, Amelia gently touched Nina’s cheek. “Alright. For the sake of your eye, no school today.”

Amelia felt a soft spot for Nina.

She’d been through a lot yesterday, and she deserved a little fun day out.

Hearing the decision, William immediately smiled, “Amelia, you go ahead to work. I’ve got Nina today.”

Nina might have a day off, but Amelia couldn’t skip work.

After leaving Nina at home, Amelia headed out.

Benjamin accompanied her in the car-well, the driver took them, with Benjamin sitting in the back with her.

Their little breakthrough last night left Amelia feeling nervous, her ears burning, whenever she looked at Benjamin now.

Finished

The partition was up.

Amelia stayed quiet, just fiddling with her water bottle and avoiding Benjamin’s gaze.

She didn’t look at him, but he kept looking at her.

“What time do you finish work today?” he asked, his arm naturally moving to pull her close.

Amelia’s cheeks warmed as she was drawn in.

“Not sure,” she murmured. “If things go smoothly, early. If not, who knows?”

Benjamin hummed in response. “I’ll pick you up tonight.”

“Okay.” Amelia nodded.

Even with a child, the two of them were still as sweet as could be.

When they arrived, Amelia gathered her courage. Before getting out, she quickly leaned over and gave a quick kiss on Benjamin’s right cheek.
