Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Joshua walked into the shadow, took out a gun casually, loaded it indifferently, and pointed straight at the old lady.

“Hey, kiddo. You made a mistake. I’m your uncle.”

Laura was stunned.

Seeing the gun, the old lady held her breath and straightened up her back, trying to act tough. “Don’t try to scare me with a fake gun. Do you think I have never seen a real one before?”

Joshua smiled and pulled the trigger at the brick again.

With a slight noise, the brick was instantly shattered into pieces.

A piece of brick whizzed past Laura’s cheek, leaving bloodstain on it.

She merely looked at Joshua blankly.

The gun with a silencer merged with the noisy street. However, the old lady was scared out of her mind. She immediately put down Laura as if she was a hot potato.

> Joshua pointed the gun at her and said lazily, “You’re dead if you ever step into my territory again. Leave now.”

The old lady dared not to disobey. She ran out of the alley instantly. Just as she walked out, two bodyguards in black rushed up and grabbed her, hitting her on her neck to make her faint.

Joshua put away the gun lazily. “Send this old lady to the police station. We have to do good deeds occasionally and punish evil.”

“Understood, Mr. Yale,” said one of the bodyguards.

Then, he turned his head contemptuously and looked at Laura, who sat on the ground.

She had dirt all over her body. Sitting in the passageway, her eyes were clear and watery, as if she were clear spring water.

Looking at her face alone, Joshua felt that she looked perfect.

Joshua thought, “How could Lilian give birth to such a beautiful baby? Sure enough, Antonio’s genes are better.”

Then, he put on his sunglasses. As he raised a corner of his mouth, he asked, “What did you just call me, little rascal?”

Laura tilted her head and said in a sweet voice, “Sir.”

Joshua smiled contemptuously and said, “Don’t call me that. I’m not a good person. Don’t think that I just saved you. I will drag you to a place where people sell kids now. You will be sold at a good price with your pretty face. Believe it or not.”

Laura looked at him in a daze. Seeing his evil smile, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Joshua was dumbfounded. “What are you laughing at?”

The other bodyguard also frowned in confusion.

He thought, “Isn’t this little girl too ignorant? How can she laugh in this situation? It’s never a good idea to provoke Mr. Yale.”

Laura’s eyes glimmered as she slowly stretched out her hand to take off Joshua’s sunglasses. Then, she held his cheek.

“You are Uncle Joshua, aren’t you?”

Chapter 48

Joshua was stunned when he heard that.

In the shady alley, the little girl touched his cheek with her warm hand.

He was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to respond.

Laura smiled. “I saw you in Mommy’s photo. You are her second brother! Mommy said you look like a bad person at first glance, but you are very kind and like plushies and idols, right?”

Joshua was rendered speechless.

He thought, “How does she know that?”

Puzzled, the bodyguard scratched his head..

He thought, “Idols? Plushies? So the ruthless Mr. Yale has a girly hobby like that in private?”

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Joshua’s gaze as he suddenly turned to look at the bodyguard.

The bodyguard quickly looked up at the sky and said, “Wow! It’s so dark!”

The corner of Joshua’s mouth twitched as he looked at Laura ferociously. “I don’t like idols or plushies! Don’t talk nonsense, or will shoot you!”

Laura trembled with fear. Her big eyes were watery. She looked at him fearfully and asked, “Really? Will you shoot me?”

Joshua fell silent for a while before he said, “I’ll do it sooner or later!”

Secretly, he thought, “But it won’t be now. I’m starting to find her cute. Damn it.”
