Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 117

“Don’t you see Mr. Graham is with a child? I think I’ve seen this little girl. It seemed that she came with Mr. Yale and Mr. Smith during the banquet at the Graham residence yesterday”

“Oh, yes! I remember it too. The Zimmerman family is now dead meat because they offended the Smith family and the Yale family. It is terrifying!”

“This kid is quite something, and her background is quite prominent. I didn’t expect her to have a connection with Mr. Graham too.”

“It’s over. Mr. Lowery is done.”

“Hahaha! He’s always so arrogant when dealing with us. Today is a tough day for him to suffer!”

Bernard wiped his sweat awkwardly, pretended not to hear their comments, and said embarrassedly. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Graham. I heard that my daughter had an argument with this child before, so I came here to learn about the situation.”

Laura frowned. “You’re lying. You didn’t come here to learn about the situation. It was your daughter’s fault, and you put all the blames on me!”

Bernard choked.

Zayn snorted.

Dexter sneered. “Leave now, Mr. Lowery. I’ll save you from humiliation if you take your daughter and go before things get

worse.”

Zayn added, “I don’t want to see your daughter around here anymore. Transfer her to a different school, or you shall wait for the consequences.”

Julia’s face changed greatly. She pulled her father’s hand and said, “Dad, are they bullying me? Can’t you help me fight back? They are bullying me!”

Bernard was visibly intimidated, he lowered his body, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Dexter smiled meaningfully. “What should you do now, Mr. Lowery? Your daughter is asking you to stand up for her. Weren’t you here to seek revenge for her in the first place?”

Zayn said lightly, “He may not dare to do so. His legs are trembling.”

Laura looked down.

Bernard’s legs were trembling visibly, a clear sign of his fear.

Dexter burst into laughter. “This is quite amusing. It’s the first time I’ve seen Mr. Lowery unable to put on a show. Hahaha!”

The laughter was deafening. Bernard couldn’t raise his head and dragged her daughter away.

Laura frowned. “Wait!”

Bernard paused and looked at her expectantly.

Laura said with a stern face, “You haven’t apologized to me yet.”

Bernard was stunned.

Julia bit her lower lip and looked at her father.

Bernard’s expression changed abruptly, and he didn’t dare to say anything more. He leaned over and said, “Sorry, we won’t do it again.”

Julia almost broke down. “Daddy! How can you be so embarrassing?”

Bernard nudged her. “Hurry up! Apologize!”

Julia’s eyes were filled with tears. She lowered her head reluctantly and said, “I’m sorry, Laura.”

Laura was satisfied.

She had once again defended the dignity of her family today.

She raised her chin and said, “I forgive you, but I will never tolerate it if you do it again. I can’t believe you asked your father to bully me instead of settling the score with me in private. You are so embarrassing!”

Zayn smiled in satisfaction.

Laura was worthy of his guidance.

Filled with embarrassment, Bernard shot a displeased look at his daughter and hurriedly pulled her away.

After a while, Julia’s cry resounded through the sky.

Finally venting her frustration, Laura settled back into the chair with a calm expression.

Other parents held their breath, their gazes toward her now tinged with a different sort of respect.

Dexter exclaimed with delight, “You’re quite fierce, little girl. I thought you might be intimidated by him and end up crying. I didn’t expect you to be so strong.”

Laura nodded. “Zayn taught me all this. The more I tolerate it, the more others will bully me. So, I must stand up for myself. Also, my family told me that I can’t let anyone disrespect us, so I must handle bullying well! I won’t let myself be sad!”

Dexter looked at Zayn with great interest and said, “You’re even teaching your little girlfriend? Zayn, you’re quite something, even better than your father.”

Zayn said snappishly, “Don’t talk nonsense. Laura is my most important friend, not my little girlfriend.”

Dexter grinned and said, “Imagine if Laura stops hanging around you in the future. Other boys will protect her. She might even grow fond of being around one of those boys and even avoid you. What will you do then?”

Zayn’s face darkened. “With me, no one can stand beside her.”

Dexter drawled, “Awww!”

He was quite supportive of this childhood sweetheart pairing.

He laughed loudly. “Don’t worry. I know how it feels to love someone. If you grow up and still like her, I will definitely support both of you.”

Zayn rolled his eyes in disgust.

“He’s crazy and keeps talking nonsense,” he commented silently.

Right then, the broadcast announced, “To all parents, please report to the sign–in desk and prepare for the competition.”

Laura’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Zayn.

Zayn put his hand under his chin and said lazily. Go ahead. Have a good time.”

She nodded, took Dexter’s hand, and ran to the sign–in desk. “Let’s go, Mr. Graham

She was very happy. Her ponytails swayed in the breeze, capturing the sunlight and casting a beautiful glow.

Zayn’s gaze remained fixed on her, his expression serene.

B

Taron and others finally found him on the playground, panting. Zayn, we’ve been looking for you for a long time. Why did you come to the kid’s section here alone?”

Zayn didn’t look at them. He just looked at Laura and said. “Someone needs me here.”

Taron turned around and was surprised to see Laura and Dexter standing together. ‘Oh, no! Isn’t she the orphan? Why was she accompanied by her family? Is that her uncle?”

Zayn said calmly, “No, he’s my father. I lent her my dad

Taron was dumbfounded as he thought. “Can we lend others our father now?”

The others looked at one another and asked Zayn. “What about you, Zayn? Is your father going to be in two places at once?”

Zayn’s eyes turned a bit colder as he gazed at Laura’s smiling profile.

She was so delighted that her eyes had turned into narrow slits from smiling. She was as bright as the sunshine today.

His eyes unconsciously softened. “I don’t need anyone to run for me, but she does.”

He didn’t want to see her sitting alone in a chair, looking despondent, with no one talking to her.

He didn’t want her mind to be filled with anything that could make her sad.

He wanted her to stand on the track with someone running for her.

At the same time, there was someone sitting on a bench, his eyes following her constantly, waiting for her to come back.

Taron scratched his head and couldn’t understand the situation, but he still sat next to him. “Let’s cheer for Laura! Laura and your dad will definitely win the first place!”

Standing at the sign–in desk, Laura suddenly felt warm in her heart and subconsciously looked back at Zayn.

In the midst of the bustling crowd. Zayn stood out like a beam of light. She could spot him easily and waved enthusiastically, shouting, “Zayn! Make sure you watch us! I’m going to win first place. Trust me!”

Zayn maintained an expressionless demeanor. Upon hearing her words, he couldn’t help but scoff. “Does she really need to remind me to trust her?”

He murmured thoughtfully, I’ve been watching you the whole time, Laura”
