Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1344

"No! I'm not leaving," Adora said.

She held onto his wrist and played the victim, adding, "I did something bad today. If Daddy finds out, he'll definitely scold me. Staying with you here is the safest! Asher, you'll protect me, right? You surely don't want Daddy to hurt my little butt, right? You're the best!"

Adora was clingy, unwilling to let go when she had her mind on the person.

Asher was annoyed, unable to find any way to deal with her.

After a brief silence, he emphasized, "You can stay, but don't bother me, and don't bring in anyone irrelevant to bother me."

"Huh?" Adora blinked, feigning innocence. "Asher, who are you talking about?"

Asher remained expressionless.

There was no innocence and playfulness expected of a five-year-old on his cold, handsome face.

He was mature and aloof beyond his years.

Asher's words had a hidden meaning, and he replied, "He knows himself."

The door was slightly ajar, and Nathaniel stood outside, listening to the conversation between the siblings and observing Asher's attitude toward him.

He tightened his grip on the door handle, sighing silently.

A bitter sense of guilt flooded his heart, but he was powerless.

With no other choice, Nathaniel decided to leave quietly.

As he turned, he spotted Elliot in a dark green military uniform striding down the hallway from the far end.

The two men locked eyes, and Nathaniel greeted Elliot first.

"Just finished your duties with the National Investigation Bureau?"

Elliot nodded casually.

"Nana went to the company to handle some matters. Since Asher was alone in the lab, I came to check on him. Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

Nathaniel lowered his gaze, avoiding further eye contact.

"I've finished visiting, so I'm heading back to the Nicholls Group."

Elliot did not insist on him to say butt asked directly, "Did Adora come with you? Is she inside?"
