Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1508

"Mom, are we eating here again today?"

"Yes, don't you love the braised bass here?"

Nala frowned and pouted. She held back her desire to say, "But I want to eat at home."

Despite her young age, she could sense that her mother had been in a bad mood for the past few days. Even her response just now seemed indifferent.

Nala couldn't grasp the complexities of the adult world. She didn't understand why things could go from sunny to stormy instantly. All she knew was that whenever someone sent her mother pictures of her dad with other women, Kasey would react this way.

"Mom..."

Nala tugged at Kasey's hand, but the latter suddenly let go and stared tensely at something, hurrying away.

Nala was startled, and her doll slipped from her grasp.

"Mom—"

"Nala, stay right here and don't move!" Kasey shouted anxiously as she rushed ahead. "Mom will be back in a moment!"

Helplessly, Nala stood there, watching her mother's figure gradually disappear.

This had happened before. Whenever Kasey found out that Elijah was getting close to another woman, she would lose control, leaving Nala behind. Nala would have to wait quite some time to see her distraught mother again.

Lurking in the shadows, Drake squinted. Suddenly, he remembered seeing this mother-daughter duo a few times recently. Sometimes, the woman brought the little girl to eat, and other times, it was just the woman...

Was she there to catch her husband cheating?

Yes, that had to be it!

Unexpectedly, Nala walked out on her own!

Holding her doll tightly, Nala played alone in the empty corridor, seemingly bored. Suddenly, she noticed a small door leading to the hotel's backyard. Despite the cooling weather, the backyard was adorned with flowers, catching her attention.

Curiosity was natural for a child. She bounded toward the backyard.

Drake realized an opportunity had arisen!

The backyard was where he had spoken to Bianca that day. According to Bianca, there was nothing there except a broken surveillance camera.

Before approaching Nala, Drake straightened his clothes and quickly washed his face in the restroom.

"Hey, little girl," he said, approaching with a wrinkled smile. "Are you playing here all by yourself?"
