Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1059:

Marissa couldn’t refuse Arabella and replied with a gentle smile, “Of course, Grandma. I’ll make sure you’re comfortable.”

With Marissa’s support, Arabella stood up. Before leaving, she cast a glance at Connor and chided, “You silly boy, why are you just standing there? Come and help me get to bed. I can’t sleep well without your bedtime stories.”

Connor quickly stepped forward and supported Arabella’s other arm. “Sure, Grandma.”

“You’re so silly,” Arabella scolded Connor again. Then, she turned to Marissa with a gentle smile. “Sweetie, I know he can be annoying. But bear with him for my sake, okay?”

Marissa suddenly realized why Arabella had asked to nap at the Nash family’s estate. She was usually particular about her routines but now seemed to be creating a reason for Connor to stay with Marissa.

Marissa had no idea what Connor might have told Arabella before coming here.noveldrama

Marissa didn’t mind Connor appearing at the Nash family’s estate. He was, after all, the father of her two children. But at the same time, she was concerned about her father’s reaction.

Though she wasn’t keen on Connor staying, she couldn’t outright refuse Arabella. She managed a forced smile and said, “It’s fine, Grandma.”

“I knew you were the best!” Arabella beamed, her face lighting up instantly.

As Marissa guided Arabella forward, she shot Connor a meaningful glare. Connor seemed unfazed by it. He raised his eyebrows and gave a smug smile.

Recognizing Arabella’s esteemed status, Hannah took special care to arrange the best guest room for her to rest in, conveniently located next to Marissa’s room.

Connor followed them into the guest room. Once inside, he began telling Arabella a bedtime story and put on a show of affection while Marissa observed quietly.

Once Arabella had drifted off to sleep, Marissa could no longer contain her frustration. She grabbed Connor by the ear and pulled him out of the room.

Marissa was seething with anger over Connor’s charade of using their two children and Arabella as props in his performance. Her fury boiled over when she witnessed him telling Arabella a bedtime story, acting as if he had done it a thousand times before.

Once Arabella had drifted off to sleep, Marissa leapt forward, seized Connor by the ear, and hauled him out of the room. Her aim was to find a secluded spot to confront him about his intentions. Caught up in her emotions, she didn’t consider the startling image they presented as she towed the head of a distinguished family by his ear.

As they exited the guest room, they unexpectedly encountered Hannah and two servants.

Hannah was quietly giving the servants directions when the sight of Marissa and Connor left her dumbfounded. She was at a loss for words.

The servants were equally shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief. To them, Mr. Connor Daniels was an imposing figure whom they scarcely dared to look at directly, usually only stealing glances as he walked away.
