Chapter 1170 - 1169: Axi! Sis, You’re So Embarrassing
Nia’s father froze for a moment, hesitating as he looked at Aldy sitting in the wheelchair.
"Since sis asked me to stay, then I’ll stay."
Aldy gritted his teeth and, in the end, still made this decision.
Seeing this, Nia’s face instantly bloomed with a huge smile.
This feeling of successfully persuading someone really is爽.
"Uncle."
Only after convincing her dad did Nia suddenly remember she hadn’t discussed any of this with Maxwell Peary, so she immediately tilted her little face up and leaned over to him.
Maxwell: ...
Hmph!
Ignore her!
"Uncle."
Nia grabbed the CEO’s jacket hem and kept tugging it back and forth.
"Stand properly. Look at yourself—no manners at all."
Maxwell frowned at Nia, his tone carrying a hint of sternness.
This kind of scolding left Nia a bit unable to process it for a moment; she could only blink and just stand there.
The CEO is really mad?
Just because she refused to resign?
"Uncle, you’re being unreasonable!"
Nia blurted out without caring about anything, stopping right there in the middle of the street, not even sparing Maxwell a glance.
This little sulky act of hers gave Maxwell a bit of a headache.
"Hurry up and walk, don’t stop there."
They were supposed to go to the parking lot to get the car together; now that Nia refused to move, Maxwell had no choice but to speak up.
"I’m not going."
Nia snapped, pouting, her whole face screaming that she was unhappy.
Seeing her like this, Maxwell was completely helpless.
"You stay here with her, I’ll go get the car."
After saying that, Maxwell immediately turned around and walked away.
Nia: ...!!!
Uncle’s leaving?!!!
No way!
She was wrong!
"Uncle, don’t go, I won’t throw a tantrum anymore."
Nia panicked, sprinted over, and hugged Maxwell tightly from behind.
Uh...
Looking down at the little hands wrapped around his waist, a trace of softness flashed in Maxwell’s eyes.
"Uncle, don’t go."
Nia was scared; Maxwell had always treated her with a good temper.
He had never just turned around and walked off like this.
She was suddenly terrified—afraid Maxwell would just leave like this, just... not want her anymore.
Hearing little Rabina’s words, Maxwell’s heart softened a bit.
"So you’re not mad anymore?"
Maxwell spoke, placing his hand over her small hands.
"I’m not mad anymore."
Nia immediately shook her head; only an idiot would still be angry at a time like this.
If Uncle Peary really did leave, who would she go cry to?
"Then were you the one standing there saying you weren’t going to walk?"
"I’ll walk, I’ll walk, I won’t just stand there anymore."
Nia answered at once, tightening her grip a little, afraid Maxwell would actually abandon her here.
Maxwell clearly knew that the little Rabina behind him had misunderstood his actions, but he just didn’t explain.
The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile as he pried her little paws off, then turned around to look at her.
"Then be good and walk. You go in front and lead the way."
"Okay!"
Nia’s face instantly lit up with a big smile as she happily walked ahead.
Behind her, the three members of the Mitchell family were completely speechless.
Did they really have to be like this?
Flaunting their love was one thing.
Nia, don’t you think you’re being incredibly embarrassing right now?
Aldy’s mouth twitched; he really couldn’t figure out how his older sister ended up with this kind of personality.
And this Maxwell Peary.
Tsk tsk.
Who would’ve thought that the famous Young Master Peary of Capital Town would actually...
like this type.
