After a moment's hesitation, Wynn said, "Maybe even if Nina is drunk, she still remembers not to hit John." Leon cast a piercing glance at Wynn, making him stutter in fear.
He couldn't help but feel that Wynn might be right though.
Why else would she hit everyone else but leave John alone?
Wynn continued, "Maybe this means that Nina..."
"That's enough." Leon stood up and patted his clothes, straightening them.
"When she was drunk, she even hit me but she refused to hit John. It must mean that John is far more important to her," Leon said in a huff. "Buy the tickets. We'll leave tomorrow."
Wynn scratched his head. "Okay."
While walking out, Leon saw Michelle nodding off over the table. Her pink face was as rosy as the evening glow.
Leon stopped, put the girl on the bed, covered her with the quilt and said softly, "Michelle, I am leaving tomorrow."
Leon was about to leave, but Michelle grabbed his finger and smacked her lips.
Michelle's fingers were a little chubby, but they were so soft and warm. Leon sat back on the edge of the bed and teased Michelle, "Don't you want me to leave?"
Michelle smacked her lips again and said, "No, I
I help you change or can you do it yourself?"
Nina mumbled, "Hmm?"
John found it amusing, but he stopped himself from smiling and asked, "Are you so sleepy?"
"Yes." Nina nodded.
John changed her himself. He felt like he was taking care of a child.
This was his little girl after all.
"Well, let's go to wash our faces." John reached out to hug her.
Nina felt so weak and drained. She pouted and nodded, "Hmm."
John knew that she was drunk right now, but he was still a little angry when she gave one-word replies.
Although she was drunk, Nina was still sensitive. She knew he was angry and immediately looked up at him with her big eyes.
"Do you not like how I'm replying?"
"No, I don't."
'I'm afraid that sometimes I don't know what is on your mind and I can't give you what you want.'
John pinched her face dotingly. He loved her so much. The soft feel of her skin was enough to make him never want to let go.
Nina pouted and said, "But when I say 'hmm,' 'mmm,' and 'yes' together, you won't be able to stand it."
Just like that, John was stunned.
His mind went completely blank.
His eyes froze open and his throat dried up.
