Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 246

Xander and the other two people dashed out of the house and jumped into the car, heading angrily towards the Graham residence.

Fortunately, their houses were near each other.

Laura remained oblivious to it all. She sat contentedly on the sofa, munching on fruits alongside Zayn. “My room is beautiful. I’ll snap some pictures and share them with Mommy Winnie later!”

As soon as she finished, the doorbell rang.

Dexter raised his eyebrows and checked the time.

It took them ten minutes.

That was impressive.

Laura was still out of the situation. She looked at the door and saw Antonio stomping towards her!

Laura was stunned seeing Antonio.

Then she looked behind him.

Her three brothers were still clad in school uniforms. Obviously, they came to her, arrived shortly after getting home, and looked equally combative.

Xander said with a scowl, “Laura, quit playing around and come home with us.”

Unconsciously, she shivered and hugged herself tightly next to Zayn.

Antonio narrowed his eyes at her actions and growled, “Come here.” His voice was cold and deep.

Laura bit her lower lip and shook her head. “Why are you even here?”

“You don’t welcome me?” Antonio tilted his head and exuded an irresistible aura as if he could suppress her at any time.

“I’m your dad, aren’t I? You’re staying with me today, remember?”

She took a cautious breath, feeling a bit scared, but still muttered timidly to herself, ‘That’s not true.‘

Everett reached into his pocket and growled, “Laura, you’re supposed to go home after school. Do I need to remind you of that?”

Jasper concurred and spoke softly. “Laura, don’t you love watching Mickey Mouse the most? You can head back and enjoy it now.”

Xander and Antonio looked at her condescendingly. “Laura, come with us.”

Zayn slapped the table and stood, saying, “Why must she go with you? Laura’s staying at my house today. We made a bet, and if she loses, she has to stay

with me.”

Xander wasn’t going to be bested. His tone was offish, saying, “Of course, you’ll win a bet against a four–year–old. You’re just cheating.”

Zayn didn’t deny it and looked at him, “I won. I want her. It’s that simple.”

Xander stepped forward.

Zayn paced out and met his eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became intense.

Chapter 246

A fight appeared imminent.

Laura didn’t dare to breathe. She huddled beside Dexter and said, “Dexter…”

Suddenly, Antonio clenched his fists, and his dark eyes flashed angrily.

Dexter calmly comforted her and encircled her with his presence. He turned to Antonio and said, “Why do you insist on having my goddaughter stay at your house? Couldn’t she just as easily live here?”

Antonio remained unaffected. “Winnie will be away on business for half a month and unable to return to look after her. It’s my turn to care for her today, so it’s only natural that I’ll take good care of her. You needn’t concern yourself with it.”

Dexter nodded and drawled, “Ah, I see. You’re not really concerned about your daughter, but you’re worried about Winnie’s displeasure, so you’re trying to take care of her, isn’t that right? If Winnie doesn’t like Laura, you won’t treat her well, will you?”

Antonio’s face darkened. “Laura is my daughter. How can I not be nice to her?”

Even if he really couldn’t give her fatherly love.

In terms of financial conditions, he would never let her suffer any injustice or unfair treatment.

Laura trembled subconsciously and stared at him with even more reluctance.

He was stung by Laura’s eyes and suppressed his anger. “Laura, come here before I count to three.”

Hearing this, Dexter said with a sullen smile, “Antonio, don’t pretend to be all lovey–dovey. Everyone knows you despise Lilian. So how can you possibly like her daughter? Aren’t you doing this to fulfill your commitment to Winnie? It’s fine, and I’ll take care of Laura.”

Antonio paused momentarily and looked at him firmly. “I’ll repeat it: Laura is Laura, and Lilian is Lilian. Even if Lilian tricked me into having Laura, she’s still my daughter. I will take care of her.”

Winnie knew it. He had nothing to hide.

At first, he made a mistake. He admitted his mistake and would correct it.

It was that simple.

So he needed to spend time with Laura alone and get to know each other better!

Antonio’s eyes became sharp. “Come here, Laura.”

Laura grabbed the hem of Dexter’s clothes and said, “No!”

He was stunned. “Are you talking back to me?”

Hearing this, Xander and the others all trembled.

How dare Laura disobey Dexter?

They all had to listen to him!

Everett disobeyed and was thrown into an island to live on his own. It was not punished with just words!

Their father was really cruel!

Jasper’s eyes implied, “Laura, stop talking. Come with us!”

Laura still shook her head.

Chapter 246

She was determined, saying, “I don’t want to! Uncle Antonio hates me, but he forces me to go. I don’t want to live in his house!”

Antonio was stunned and laughed angrily, “If you come here now, I can let it go and come to me.”

Laura shook her head and said softly, “Then, Mr. Smith.”

She took her phone and opened the chat window trembling, texting: [I recently earned some money from a variety show. I’ll give you 2,000 dollars. Go home now. I’ll stay with my godfather tonight.]

She transferred 2,000 dollars to him and showed him her phone, “Is that all right?”

Xander, Everett, and Jasper were stunned.

Zayn was left speechless.

Dexter couldn’t hold back his laughter and exclaimed, “Your daughter is bribing you!”

Antonio was so angry that he couldn’t help but chuckle and reached for his phone.

Laura got a transfer for 20,000 dollars.

Surprised, she looked up into Antonio’s eyes. “I will give you 20,000 dollars. Come home with me,” said Antonio.

Laura was somewhat puzzled.

She stepped back reluctantly, “No! No! I don’t want your money either!”

Antonio pressed on, “Am I really that terrible? Are you truly so afraid of me?”

The three sons nodded unconsciously.

Zayn also looked serious.

Dexter commented, “That’s true.”

Antonio stretched out his hand to Laura.

Laura shrank in the corner of the sofa with fear, thinking that he was going to hit her.

But the next moment, his hand gently covered her face.

Laura was startled.

Antonio gently touched her face with a determined look in his eyes, “I promise you that I will never hit you. I seem to have a bad temper. You can ask your brothers, have I hit them?”

Everett was shocked, “Dad, the look in your eyes is quite scary, and you threw us into deserted islands for survival!”

Antonio looked back at him,

Everett quickly said, “Dad is a kind father!”

Laura bit her lower lip, hesitated, and shook her head.

“Uncle Antonio, I don’t want you to be my father. Just be a good uncle, and don’t make me go home, okay?”

Antonio held his breath and touched her palm offish, “You still don’t want to go home, do you?”

She nodded with certainty, “I don’t want to go home.”

Antonio said, “I agree.”

He got up quickly and said, “Then we’ll stay here with you tonight.”

The three boys were stunned and nodded in unison. “No problem!”

Laura was speechless.

They had no problem?

But she got a problem!

And it was a big one!
