“Good night, Uncle!” Nini responded, still a little sulky. Nini responded in a sultry voice, still a little muffled, and Owen Baker had a good idea that she was upset because Zoey had just denied Daddy, and looked at Zoey with some concern.
Zoey shook her head, indicating that she was fine. He added, “Brother, rest later. Talk to me later.”
“Then I’ll wait for you in the study.”
“Hmm.”
Zoey nodded and carried Nini upstairs, where she remained sullen, her mouth flattened even as Zoey bathed her and draped her hair.
Zoey sighed and called out to her tentatively and ingratiatingly, “Nini? It’s not because KK was not home all night that you missed KK, is it?”
“It’s not …” Nini pinched the bed sheet and nuzzled her little mouth, “KK said Uncle is Daddy!”
Surely that’s what happened …
The child’s sad face made Zoey feel uncomfortable. For a moment, he did not know how to comfort. He took a deep breath and stroked the child’s head, “Nini, Uncle is a very good person, if you also like Uncle, you can think of him as Daddy ah! I think he will like it too. Some day, let KK take you over with him and get to know Uncle, okay?”
Originally, I was afraid of wearing out and didn’t want the pair of kids to have too much contact with Jerry Xiao, especially if Nini also had Wiid’s disease. Once the attack, he is easy to get suspicious.
However, after this night tonight, looking at his heartfelt affection for KK, she suddenly felt that she would be too cruel to deny them even the right to contact. Moreover, it would be too unfair to both the child and to him.
Nini’s little face lit up, “Really, Nini can go play with Uncle too?”
Nini was in a much better mood. Nini was in a much better mood. After she was finally put to sleep, Zoey went to the study.
When he entered the study, Owen Baker was still busy, and Zoey brought him some milk, “Have some, don’t be so busy all the time, and take care of yourself.”
“Thanks.” Owen Baker took a sip of milk and casually asked, “Zoey , ever think about going back to your own company to help me and Dad?”
Zoey shook her head and laughed, “It’s better if you father and son are busy. I’m fine doing something outside, it’s not like I can do anything to help you guys.”
“Well, brother does not force you. I didn’t expect the KK thing to happen this afternoon, otherwise Sea Gu, the case, wouldn’t necessarily be the Baker family’s.”
Zoey laughs, “The Baker family has the power. It’s the same for you and for me.”
Owen Baker nodded, “By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?”
Zoey faintly colored, “Brother, today KK is not lost, but kidnapped!”
“What?” Owen Baker closed the file with a ‘snap’, “How did this happen? Now where is he!” His shock level was not at all inferior to Zoey’s .
“Now he is fine, don’t worry. Luckily he was saved by Jerry when he was on the road.” Zoey reassures Owen, adding that she is troubled by KK’s concealment of the photo.
Owen Baker had something in mind. Reassure Zoey, “Now you go rest and don’t think about anything. I’ll have someone keep an eye on the two kids later. We’ll ask KK in the morning when he gets back.”
“Hmm. Then you get an early night too.” Zoey said, before walking out of the study.
For the first time in her life, Jerry Xiao is sleeping with a child.
The little thing slept solidly, all night long, hugging his neck in a good manner, the little head resting on his arm.
When I woke up in the morning, I opened my eyes and saw the sleeping face of the little thing, all the wake-up call dissipated and I was in a much better mood.
Only after leading KK to breakfast, a driver came to pick up KK. After a few confirmations, Jerry Xiao was relieved to let the child leave.
Jerry Xiao, who is a member of the board of directors of the company, is a member of the board of directors of the company.
“Uncle, would you like KK?”
“Mmm!” Before, he was never such a pretentious person, but, now he really feels that it is much better to have a child around. Even, it was hard to let him just leave.
“Then KK will welcome Uncle when he brings his sister over to play with him later?”
“Definitely.” Since when did he stop rejecting children?
The child buried his little face in his arms for a long, long time …
“Uncle, you must think of KK …” the voice was muffled, making Jerry Xiao a little unbearable. “Later, KK bring mommy to see Uncle. Uncle will like Mommy!”
After that, the little thing gave Jerry Xiao another heavy ‘kiss’ on the face before turning around and running back.
“Bye, Uncle!” Climbing into the car, the little thing poked its head out and waved its little arms.
“Bye …” Jerry Xiao smiled as he watched the child’s figure disappear little by little.
He did not turn back until the child had completely disappeared from his view. Inside his heart, slightly empty.
Skimming his lips, he lost his smile.
When did you, yourself, become so fond of children?
Instead of going to the office right away, Zoey waited at home with Owen Baker until the driver picked up KK.
“Zoey , Uncle.” KK entered the door cheerfully and greeted them. Seeing them all with stony faces, his little eyebrows rose, “It’s not because KK didn’t come back all night and everyone is angry, is it?”
“KK, yesterday at the police station, did you see a photo in the hands of the bandits?” Zoey asked him. KK tilted his head, looked at Zoey and then at his uncle, and nodded for a while.
Owen Baker and Zoey looked at each other before speaking, “KK, do you remember who took that picture of you guys? You tell the truth.”
KK sat on the sofa with her head down and her little hand grasping Zoey’s hand for a moment before she said, “My aunt took this.”
“What?!” Owen Baker was astonished.
“Nabi?” said Zoey, also almost incredulous.
“What reason would she have to kidnap a child?” Zoey couldn’t think of one.
Owen Baker had grabbed the car keys, grabbed Zoey and left, “Let’s go find her and ask her about it.”
…
The two were not expecting Nabi Yan to take the picture, and Owen Baker gripped the steering wheel with both hands, veins popping on the back of his hands. zoey sat on the passenger side and calmed him down, “brother, calm down, it’s not necessarily Nabi.”
“How can I be calm? If we hadn’t met Jerry Xiao, KK would still be somewhere right now! And the two children will still be a threat!” Owen Baker’s face was blue and he punched the steering wheel again, “If it’s really Nabi Yan, I won’t spare her!”
Zoey didn’t say anything else, Nabi and the kids usually get along very well, she has no motive to kidnap!
Nabi Yan was working on her manuscript and was surprised to see an angry Owen Baker and Zoey in her office, “What are you doing here?”
Since the divorce, she thought she had nothing more to say to the Baker family!
Owen Baker looked coldly at Nabi Yan, “Do you know about KK’s kidnapping?”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
“Yes, Chief Editor.” The other party answered, hurriedly closed the door and quietly went out.
Owen Baker looked at Nabi Yan as if he wanted to see a hole in her eyes, and Nabi Yan put down her manuscript and looked at him with aggression, “Owen, what do you mean by coming to me in such a rage and asking these inexplicable questions? Do you think I kidnapped the child?”
Owen Baker clasped Nabi Yan’s wrist and his eyes sank, “Nabi Yan, don’t you dare say you didn’t do anything!”
“Owen, you’re hurting me!” Nabi Yan struggled hard, but Owen Baker just wouldn’t let go, the force was so strong that it almost crushed her. Her eyes turned red with aggression. Looking at Zoey pleadingly , “Zoey , let your brother go, he’s crazy … about the baby, I really didn’t do it …”
She looked as if she really didn’t know anything about it. Zoey grabbed Owen Baker’s hand, “Brother, calm down, we can talk about anything.”
“Say it properly?” Owen Baker did not let go, only looked coldly at Nabi Yan, “Nabi Yan, if you didn’t do it, then those photos received on the bandit’s phone, why are they yours? KK said that those photos were taken by you for him and Nini, the child would not lie!”
Zoey also wanted a reasonable explanation for this suspicion.
Nabi Yan froze for a moment at Owen Baker’s words. She looked at them and frowned, “Are you saying that the bandits used the pictures I took when they identified the two children?”
“Exactly!”
Nabi Yan thought for a moment. The only photo she took was the only one, and, from the beginning to the end, she only passed it on to one person …
Sunny Qin, she started it?
“I don’t know which photo you are talking about, but I did take a photo of KK and the others. But I assure you, I never sent this photo to anyone, much less to the bandits. As for KK and Nini, I love them too, so there is no reason at all to kidnap them. If I really want to kidnap, wouldn’t it be better if I just secretly take two more photos and give them to the bandits? Why do I need to expose myself like this?” Owen Baker locked his eyes on Nabi Yan soberly, as if judging the truthfulness of her words.
“Brother, let go. Zoey urged Owen Baker, whose face eased a bit and his hands let go.
Nabi Yan rubbed her wrist and gave Owen Baker an exasperated glare, “If you don’t believe me, you can have the police investigate me. I’ll accept any reasonable questioning from the police.”
“If you really did it, you’ll never get away with it!” Owen Baker warned Nabi Yan.
Nabi Yan stopped explaining and just looked at Zoey and asked, rather worriedly, “So is KK back now? Is she okay?”
“What? You want something to happen to Nini, too?” Owen Baker said pointedly back to her, always feeling that Nabi Yan had something to do with it.
“I didn’t mean that. Just concerned about the kids.” Nabi Yan defended herself.
Zoey gave a wink to Owen, two people who had been married for several years, Owen Baker did not say more, only Zoey nodded, “Now KK and Nini are very good.”
“Zoey , let’s go.” Owen Baker grabbed Zoey and headed for the door. He looked back at Nabi Yan, “I hope this has nothing to do with you!”
…
The siblings left, and Nabi Yan’s face became clear and cold.
When Sunny Qin approached her for the photos last time, she guessed that she was after the kids, but she never thought it would be the stupidest kidnapping ever!
Moreover, the kidnapping didn’t succeed, but she was dragged down with her! This woman, is she really brainless, or is she doing this on purpose so that the spearhead will point at herself?
When Zoey arrived at the office, it was already afternoon.
