"Hehe, you're the best, Uncle Nate!" Adora smiled with her eyes, looking innocent and adorable.
Nathaniel looked at her, noticing her face was just like a miniature version of Sheena's.
For a moment, Nathaniel was lost in thoughts.
"I remember Sheena was just like you when she was little, playful and lively. She never held back when she was angry, and it was never good to provoke her."
Adora's interest was instantly piqued.
"So, did Mommy also get into fights with others?"
Nathaniel chuckled, his thoughts quickly returning to his childhood with Sheena,
"Oh, yes, she did get into fights. Sometimes, when she couldn't handle it, I'd help her fight back with all my might. Once, I accidentally broke the other person's nose."
Adora laughed heartily, listening intently with great interest.
"What happened next?"
"The person who got beaten up went to the Lawson and Nicholls families to seek justice. Both families paid compensation. Sheena, being from the Lawson family, just got scolded a bit. But I got a good beating from my family."
Adora giggled, covering her mouth. "Uncle Nate, we're just the same! Your dad would punish you for misbehaving too."
Nathaniel just smiled and did not say anything.
His childhood situation was quite different from Adora's.
Adora was Elliot and Sheena's darling, and no matter how big a trouble she got into, Elliot would gently scold her.
However, Nathaniel's father, Wesley, was abroad then, and Vanda was in charge.
Vanda was waiting to catch him making mistakes, and when she did, she had the servants hold him down on a bench and whipped him countless times until he begged for mercy.
He was in pain for a week afterward and could not walk.
…
Nathaniel's gaze was fixed on the road ahead as he drove, his expression gloomy.
As she grew older and matured, she would naturally understand the principles.
…
The luxury car came to a stop in the outdoor parking lot of the lab.
Nathaniel got out first, went around to the passenger side, and personally helped Adora unbuckle her seatbelt and carried her into his arms.
Adora took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck and plant a kiss on his handsome face.
"I love you, Uncle Nate!"
Nathaniel was soothed by her affection, feeling warmth and love.
With one hand holding her, they headed straight to Asher's ward.
Little did he know, the devious Asher had already planned his next request.
