Chapter 2399
Thomas curled his lips into a smile and swept his glance over Nellie.
"I, too, hope to have a daughter of my own, but unfortunately, circumstances won't allow me to, so..."
He propped his chin up with one hand and fixed his gaze on Luna's face.
"I was hoping I could get to know Nellie better during our contract period, Ms.Luna.Don't worry; as soon as our contract is over, I'll get out of both you and your daughter's lives, and I promise not to get in touch again in the future."
Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
She was unfamiliar with Thomas Howard's background, and if she had known that he wanted to work with her because of Nellie, she would not have come to meet him! Even though having such a famous celebrity become an ambassador for her products would truly be the honor of a lifetime, she would not use her daughter as leverage! At the thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and stood up.
"I'm sorry, Mr.Howard, but my daughter is the apple of both me and my husband's eye.I'm sorry to say that our relationship, Mr.Howard, is only that of business in nature, and I'll never use my daughter as a bargaining chip for your cooperation."
With that, she grabbed hold of Nellie’s hand and turned to leave.
However, they had just taken two steps when all of a sudden, Nellie drew her hand out of Luna's grasp and turned to stare at Thomas with wide, innocent eyes.
"Sir, you said you liked me, but can you tell me what it is that you like about me? Is there anything particular that makes you want to get to know me better?"
Thomas' expression darkened at the sound of Nellie's sugary sweet voice.He looked back at her through narrowed eyes but did not reply.
Luna was startled by Nellie's impulsive behavior.She quickly stormed forward to pull the little girl back into her arms.
