Chapter 140
Joshua smiled with great interest, revealing a sharp canine. “My little princess, have you made up your mind?”

Feeling the waves of killing intent coming from Joshua, Corey hurriedly approached on his knees, grabbed the edge of the bed, and pleaded, “Please, child. I’m really sorry. I didn’t know you were Joshua’s niece. Please give me a chance. I can assure you that I’ve learned my lesson. You can slap me o make me kneel as punishment. Please forgive me.”
He was sniveling and looked more and more pitiful.
Laura frowned and recalled what he had done just now. She thought he looked like a bad guy pretending to be pitiful in front of her.
“But what if he’s not pretending?” she thought.
Her eyes darted about as she hesitated for a while. Eventually, she looked at Joshua and said, “Uncle Joshua, I’ve decided to forgive him.”
Her tone was innocent and sweet. It was so soft that it was like melting ice cream in one’s mouth.
Corey was so moved that he instantly burst into tears. He clasped his hands in front of him and said, “Thank you! Thank you for forgiving me! You are my savior! You are my boss. I will do whatever you want me to do. Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Laura felt uneasy and grabbed a corner of the blanket. “Don’t ever do that again, okay?”
Joshua was not surprised. He kicked Corey and said, “Since my niece has decided to forgive you, leave now and don’t show up in front of us again.”
Corey promptly got up from the ground, his legs weak from fear. He lowered his head repeatedly with his hands clasped in front of him. “Thank you very much. Thank you for giving me a chance. I will never do it again! I really won’t!”
Joshua smirked and licked his molars. “Cut the crap and get lost.”
Corey scrambled away.
Joshua gave his subordinate a meaningful look.
His subordinate immediately understood and quietly followed Corey.
A murderous look flashed across Joshua’s eyes.
Laura said she had forgiven Corey, but he had not.
It just so happened that his crocodile in a river abroad was hungry.
Then he looked at Laura and teased, “Lala, you are so kind. You forgave him just like that. Didn’t that mister hit you just now?”
Laura felt conflicted and gripped the blanket. She was not sure whether she made the right or wrong decision. “That mister has already cried. I think he probably learned his lesson.”
Robert glanced at Joshua and said, “She’s kind, unlike you.”
Joshua did not mind. He dragged a chair over and sat beside her, smiling like a scheming fox. “Yeah, you’re right. The little girl is innocent, so it is up to us, her uncles, to deal with everything else.”
Then he pulled the flag off the toy gun, tore open the candy wrapper, and handed it to her. “Look, what is this?”
Laura took it and said happily, “It’s chocolate!”
When Joshua saw she was so happy that it looked like stars were twinkling in her eyes, he nodded. “Yes, chocolate.”

Laura readily broke it into three equal pieces and gave each person one piece. “Uncles, let’s eat together.”
Joshua raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a goofy smile. “Kiddo, you’re pretty good at sharing, huh?”
She beamed and said, “I’m very happy you helped me just now. Thank you, Uncle Joshua!”
She then looked at Robert and said, “Uncle Robert, you were even more handsome just now. You fought off the bad guys. You are a hero!”
Robert was flattered and said nothing as he bit his lip and hid his smile.
Joshua, on the other hand, was upset. He crossed his arms and said, “So he’s a hero, and I’m not?”
Laura was stunned and frantically said, “No, no. You’re also a hero.”
She put the chocolate in her mouth, leaned closer to Joshua, and kissed him softly on his cheek. “Thank you for saving me, Uncle Joshua!”
Joshua trembled subconsciously and looked at her in surprise.
She then kissed Robert as well.

The chocolate–flavored kisses were a little sweet.
Both men were frozen in place.
Pe After Joshua regained his senses, he was nonplussed as he said, “No woman has ever dared to kiss me. You’re the first.”
Laura looked at him earnestly. Her eyes were filled with gratitude. “You helped me, so I want to thank you with the utmost courtesy! Thank you for helping me!”
Hearing this, Joshua narrowed his eyes, and they grew more intense. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Robert did not notice his expression as he was still frozen on the spot.
Laura was oblivious as she ate the chocolate while sitting cross–legged. “The chocolate is delicious!”
Robert returned to his senses and looked down at her chubby little hands. They were tender and looked like they could only wrap around one or two of
his fingers.
He thought, “Gosh… She’s so fricking adorable.”
He pursed his lips and said, “I’m sorry, Laura.”
Laura was confused and tilted her head.
He said, “I failed to protect you. I’m sorry.”
Joshua looked at him in surprise. His mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit inside. “Holy crap! So you can say sorry, Robert. You didn’t even apologize to me when you locked me in the basement when I was young, and I couldn’t get out. I thought you couldn’t pronounce that word!”
Robert glared at him, then looked at Laura guiltily. “If I had tried to be on the same team as you from the beginning, this would not have happened. I’m very sorry.”
Although he used to hate her the most, after spending time with her every day while filming the show, he no longer held prejudices against her.
Unfortunately, he did not realize it until then.,
The more Robert thought about it, the guillier he felt.
Joshua took out his phone in a daze and said, “Look at that! My brother is so fascinating. Let me make a Tik Tok video.

Chapter 140
Robert smacked his phone away.
However, a small, gentle hand cupped Robert’s cheek the next moment.
He was stunned and met Laura’s earnest eyes.
Laura looked delicate and adorable. Robert’s face was reflected in her dark pupils. “Uncle Robert, it’s obviously Yvonna’s fault. How can you l yourself? This incident has nothing to do with you.”
If she had not quarreled with Yvonna, no such thing would have happened.
However, she did not have to reflect on her actions.
Yvonna was the one at fault anyway.
She pouted, her expression solemn. “You were right, Uncle Robert. So stop overthinking!”
After saying that, Laura patted him on the head and said, “Don’t cry.”
Robert shrank his neck like a big dog. He looked at her blankly. “You really don’t blame me?”
She put her hands on her hip and shook her head generously. “No, I don’t! I will never blame you!”
Joshua clapped and nodded in fierce agreement. “That’s right. Yvonna was the one at fault. What are you apologizing for? You used to be a perfectionist who was indifferent. Have you ever cared about anyone’s safety?”
Robert did not say anything. He simply looked at Laura calmly and felt a warm sensation in his heart.
He did not know what to say.
He had not had many girlfriends. Moreover, all the men in his family were weirdos in relationships. Except for Winnie and Lilian, who lived with them, he had never been so nice to someone else.

Laura was the first one.
She charged into their world like a spear. When he came to his senses, she had entered his life like a fluffy kitten sitting in the sun.
When he came to his senses, he seemed to have gotten used to her and began to like her.
Robert smiled unconsciously. “Don’t worry. I will make sure the bad guys get what they deserve.”
Laura smiled. “Okay!”
As soon as Laura finished speaking, Yvonna kicked the door open and walked in, her hair unkempt and her face contorted in rage. “Laura, what did you say to my husband? My husband doesn’t even answer his phone now. It took me a lot of effort to get rid of those reporters! Besides, what did I just warn you about? Do you have a death wish?”
