The little one shook his head.
The little one still shook his head.
"Then... do you want a piece of fruit?" Moses glanced at the fruit bowl on the table and picked up an apple, "Shall I peel it for you to eat?"
The little one didn’t refuse this time, just lifted his little mouth and smiled at him.
"No need to be polite with me."
Moses sat down on the couch, lowering his body, and reached for the fruit knife to start peeling the apple for him.
The door parted, and Jessica stepped in, her gaze sweeping over Will who was dropped on the floor; she strode to the back of the couch, standing next to Moses.
Paul was arranging manpower outside; her responsibility was to ensure Moses’s safety.
"Pretty sister, why aren’t you sitting?" The little one turned his face, asking curiously.
Jessica returned his smile, "Sister likes standing."
In the past, she never liked children, but this little one was truly adorable; she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh with him.
As Moses worked, a thin layer of apple peel gradually lengthened. Gan Tang tilted his face, watching intently as he used the knife, immediately voicing his admiration.
"Uncle’s knife skills are amazing!"
Moses lifted the corners of his lips slightly. A commotion was already coming down the hallway, Jessica and Gan Tang both turned their faces toward the direction of the door, only Moses continued calmly peeling the apple in his hand.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure rushed in.
"Mommy!" Seeing Gan Yuan, Xiaotang immediately stood up joyfully, "You came!"
Seeing Xiaotang safe and sound, Gan Yuan let out a small sigh of relief.
Just then, Moses had just finished the last bit of peel on the apple in his hand. He raised his palm, offering the apple to Xiaotang.
"Stop!" Gan Yuan noticed the knife in his hand, her heart tightened, and she immediately lifted her right hand, pointing the gun she had just snatched from her bodyguard at Moses, "If you dare touch a hair on his head, I’ll kill you on the spot!"
"You!" Jessica immediately frowned, "Gaia, it’s not..."
Moses cut off Jessica’s explanation with a harsh voice, slowly lifting his left hand holding the apple, offering it to Xiaotang.
Gan Yuan clenched her teeth and pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit the apple in his hand with precision, and it exploded right there in his palm.
Xiaotang was startled, and turned his face towards her direction.
"I’m not joking!" Holding the gun, Gan Yuan’s dark eyes stared dead at Moses, "Now, put down the knife in your hand! You know I never miss!"
"Gaia!" Jessica, fearing she would really shoot, immediately pointed her gun at her, "Put your gun down, don’t harm the gentleman!"
The gentleman’s voice rang out.
Jessica was so frustrated she stamped her foot.
How could he refuse to explain even now?!
Moses’s voice grew louder.
Jessica, both angry and heartbroken, didn’t dare to disobey his command. Clutching her gun, she walked towards the door. Passing Will, who was trying to get up, she lifted her leg and kicked him hard out of spite, then grabbed him from the ground, "Gaia, if you dare harm the gentleman, I promise, I’ll turn this bastard into a sieve!"
Dragging Will, she gritted her teeth and walked out of the guest room.
In the room, only Moses, Gan Yuan, and Xiaotang remained.
Moses put down the knife in his hand, pulled over a tissue, and wiped the apple bits from his hand.
"Sit down; let’s talk."
