Chapter 58 It's Too Late for You to Run
On the day when Ann moved home, Phillip hired the moving company.
Ann failed to stop Philip, and she could only stay on the side with Nikki.
But what puzzled Ann was that Phillip suddenly became too ... fawning on Nikki?
For example, when Nikki pulled Phillip and wanted to ride on him like last time, Ann was so frightened
that she had an intake of breath and hurried to stop Nikki.
However, Phillip didn't seem to mind at all. He picked up Nikki and placed her on his shoulder, bringing
her around the room. There was even a sweet smile on his usually cold and handsome face.
Ann's scalp went numb. She hurriedly stepped forward to bring Nikki back when Nikki wanted to have a
second round.
Facing Phillip's slightly narrowed eyes, Ann could only tug at the corner of her lips and put on an
awkward smile.
"Mr. Phillip, Nikki is young and ignorant. Please don't mind." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Phillip raised his eyebrows and looked at Ann, and throw a meaningful gaze at Ann and Nikki in her
arms.
"Not at all."
He paused for a moment, bent down slightly, and pinched Nikki's fair and tender little face. However, he
kept looking at Ann with a smile.
"Nikki is very cute. I like her very much."
How could he dislike his child?
"I heard that you are entrusting someone to contact kindergartens for Nikki. I have asked someone to
complete the enrolment formalities for Nikki. Nikki will go to school with Carson and Jackson together."
Ann was stunned and hurried to refuse.
"Mr. Phillip, I appreciate your kindness, but I will think of a way to handle it. No need to trouble you."
However, Phillip ignored Ann and turned to look at Nikki.
"Do you want to go to school with your brothers?"
Nikki tilted her head and blinked her big eyes. She had no idea about going to school, but she knew
that she could be together with her little brothers, so she happily clapped her hands.
"Yes!"
Phillip smiled and nodded. He turned to look at Ann.
"Nikki has agreed. As a parent, you have to respect the wishes of the child. It's a deal!"
When they went downstairs, they happened to encounter neighbors who were chatting.
Seeing the moving company and Phillip walking beside Ann, they worn a disdainful expression,
seemed to understand everything, and discussed in a low voice.
"When that family came to trouble her, I didn't believe their statement. However, this woman seems to
be supported by a wealthy man. That family is so poor. I heard that they even raised the other man's
daughter."
"I think it's the truth. This little girl and the man look like father and daughter!"
Ann was awkward and wanted to leave quickly with Nikki in her arms.
Phillip, however, stopped. His expression was cold and his dark eyes were cold as he landed sharply
on the people who were discussing.
Those people were intimidated, kept their mouths shut, and hurriedly entered the room without taking
their stools and chairs.
Phillip turned to look at Ann who looked awkward, "Why didn't you tell me?"
She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.
What stance did she take to tell him about such a thing?
She looked up at Phillip quietly and said, "Mr. Phillip, I just want Nikki to grow up peacefully. If you do ...
like me, I hope you can keep a distance from me!"
After saying that, she got into the truck of the moving company with Nikki in her arms, but Phillip pulled
her by the arm.
Phillip stared at Ann with cold and dark eyes. Ann could even see herself in his pupils.
The man said in a low voice, "Ann, it's too late for you to run."
Ever since he got her deep in his heart five years ago, she had been destined to be his!
