After hearing about Wynn’s significant other, Gerald, for no apparent reason, felt a fleeting sense of disappointment.
He wished to help Wynn, not just because she was pretty, but also for her child, Minnie, the little girl he had started to find favor in.
Perhaps it was because he saved Minnie’s life. It gave him a sense of fatherhood, where he automatically felt the sense of paternal affection each time they met.
Things, however, seemed to be more complicated than initially thought.
Wynn probably didn’t require his help at all.
As for his disappointment, it was because Gerald really thought Wynn was that type of woman. Why then would Minnie say that a man had been coming to look for her!
It was someone else’s private life anyway, and it was none of his business.
So after buying Minnie her new toy, Gerald brought her back to the neighborhood.
Without explanation, Minnie abruptly grabbed Gerald’s arm. He did not know what she saw—her happy expression had disappeared, and her face had turned pale.
He saw that her eyes were staring right at a large black Mercedes-Benz parked along the driveway. The car wasn’t there before.
“What’s the matter, Minnie?” Gerald asked in shock.
“Uncle Gerald, the bad guy is here again, and that’s his car! He was the one who hit mommy and me!”
Minnie’s body trembled in fear, and she immediately hid behind Gerald.
“Huh?” Gerald was slightly startled when he saw that the car was empty. It could only mean that the driver must have entered the house.
After dining at someone’s house, there was no way he would just walk away and pretend that nothing happened.
“Come on, Minnie. Let’s get inside!”
Gerald immediately picked Minnie and rushed upstairs.
Upon his arrival, he found that the door was left ajar.
Inside, a big commotion had taken place.
