Chapter 836 Scapegoat

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off...1 Hearing the mechanized female voice, Lucia released her grip on the phone, and it fell to the floor with a snap.

Since August had disappeared, the two children had never turned off their mobile phones and always carried power banks because they did not want Lucia to worry about them.

So, the two people in the office immediately thought something must have happened to Janet!

Timothy soon tapped his fingers on the keyboard at high speed, and he did not let out a sigh of relief until seeing the flashing green light on the monitor. Then, he said, 'She is in a restaurant in the south of the city. Don't worry. She must be OK."

'Why did she go to the south of the city?" Lucia's voice become sharper when she said in fluster, "You keep an eye on her movements here. And I'll go there in person!"

Seeing her so anxious, Timothy nodded heavily. But after she rushed out of the office, his eyes suddenly darkened. After he tapped his fingers on the keyboard for a while, another light spot appeared on the monitor, overlapping with Janet's position.

Timothy showed an enigmatical smile on his immature face and thought to himself, ’I did not expect that person to lose his composure so soon. It seems my previous worries are unnecessary/

In an unknown restaurant in the south of the city, while Janet was elegantly enjoying the delicious food, she looked at the man opposite from time to time. August maintained an indifferent face all the time. But when he saw her cute face, there was occasionally a touch of gentleness in his eyes.

After finishing eating, Janet gently wiped her lips and reminded him loudly, saying, "My mother will come and fight you to death later."

'Maybe she will just accuse you of being obedient.'

Janet gave him a squinting look and couldn't help snorting, "You must be fake. You don't know me or my mother well enough."

August raised his eyebrows and said, '1 know you are inclined to believe I am your father. Otherwise, you wouldn't have turned off your phone. She must be extremely worried now.’

Janet was at a loss for words, so she turned her head aside angrily and muttered, "It doesn't matter if you're fake. As long as you treat her well, I don't mind treating you as my biological father."

Hearing this, August carefully looked at the little girl but didn't reply.

Janet didn't care but continued, "I can feel you value her very much. After all, people's eyes can't lie. So, even if you are not my father, it doesn't matter."

Every time she looked into August's eyes, she thought of her father. They were deep and unfathomable. When they looked at her mother, there was always tenderness inside...

"So, you decided to help me? Aren't you afraid that I'm making use of your love for your father?" August asked with a half-smile.

Janet shook her head slowly, "If you had wanted to get close to us by pretending to be my father, you would have adopted a more direct method. You could have broken into our life openly instead of using this roundabout tactic. So, no matter what your purpose is, I am willing to cooperate."

While she was speaking, the glass door was suddenly pushed open. With a chilly wind, Lucia rushed to their dining table. Seeing the man sitting across from her daughter, she suddenly froze. After she looked between them for a while, anger gradually rose on her delicate face.

Sensing the tension in the atmosphere, Janet exchanged glances with August and immediately handed Lucia a glass of warm water with a flattering smile. She was afraid her mother would be angry with her, so she slowly said in a soft voice, Mom, why are you so late? Didn't Uncle August call a long time ago?"
