Erika opened her mouth in surprise as they went into the house. It didn’t occur to her that the handsome man should be so wealthy!
The house was extravagantly furnished. There was a huge TV in the living room, and the sofa was apparently, very expensive. Besides, a dozen servants were standing there, waiting for orders.
"It’s happy to be your daughter," Erika looked up and said seriously.
Sebastian pressed his thin lips together and stared at her little face. Suddenly he snorted, "You still have to stand in the corner, even if you’re sweet talking me now."
"Sebastian," Bella came up to them at this moment and tried to act gently. "little Joanna didn’t run away on purpose. Don’t be angry anymore. Now we’ve only had one daughter left, and we have to be kind to her, don’t we?"
Sebastian heard that, and his eyes darkened and glinted with mixed emotions.
Now they had only had one daughter left. He would live with pain for the rest of his life!
But also because of this, he softened towards Erika. "Don’t do it again."
The moment he finished his sentence, Sebastian went to the study on the second floor.
No sooner had Sebastian left than Bella’s gaze fell upon Erika. Bella reached out and pinched her cheek. "Don’t run away again, or else I wouldn’t help you if your dad told you to stand in the corner!"
"You didn’t want to help me anyway," Erika tilted her head and looked straight in Bella’s eyes, cutting to the chase. "You just wanted to play the loving mother." Then she clicked her tongue and continued, shaking her head, "But the look of concern on your face was unconvincing because you pushed too hard."
Bella clenched her teeth. It had only been a few hours since the little girl had run out of the house, but how come she had become a totally different person? She had also got a sharp tongue!
"Hey, stop talking nonsense." Bella managed to recover herself. "Otherwise, I’d spank you."
Erika, however, wasn’t intimidated at all and took a step back. "Be careful yourself. I can see the hostility on your face. You’ll get yourself hurt today."
