The Ex-con Queen Strikes Back novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Brada thought, ‘Kids are easier to win over. If I can get Adam on my side, I’ll be halfway to winning Skylar’s heart.‘

Brada grinned even wider as he looked at Adam. “Hey there, kiddo, how about we play together for a while?”

Adam turned his head away sharply. “No! Mommy said I shouldn’t trust strangers. I don’t want you to take me away from Mommy.”

Skylar gently patted Adam’s back and said, “Don’t worry, buddy. Brada would never do anything to hurt you.”

Skylar coaxed gently, “Adam, why don’t you play with Brada for a while? Mommy just needs to finish up some work.”

Since Brada was already here, Skylar figured she might as well go with the flow and stop dwelling on his pursuit.

Skylar thought, ‘Let him chase if he wants. I’m just not saying yes.’

Skylar set Adam down and let him play with Brada.

Brada led Adam back to the couch.

Brada asked, “So your name is Adam? Mind if I call you Adam?”

Adam nodded absentmindedly.

Adam glanced at the text he’d sent but got no response.

He thought, “It’s been over ten minutes already. Where is Dad? What could be so important that he’s ignoring me?

‘Doesn’t Dad care at all? He’s practically handing Mommy over to someone else to be taken away!‘

Adam absentmindedly humored Brada while anxiously awaiting his father’s reply.

Yosef had just been in a meeting and hadn’t seen the message from his son.

As soon as Yosef saw Adam’s message, he swiftly delegated his tasks and drove straight over.

The Campbell Group had an ongoing partnership with Phidon Pharmaceuticals.

Yosef went straight upstairs, unchallenged by the front desk.

Once upstairs, he went straight to Skylar’s office.

Overjoyed, Adam sprang off the couch and rushed into Yosef’s waiting arms.

“Daddy!” Overjoyed, Adam sprang off the couch and rushed into Yosef’s waiting arms.

He knocked on the door and, upon hearing permission to enter, turned the knob and stepped inside.

Held securely in his father’s arms, Adam whispered urgently, “Daddy, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you forever.”

Adam urged anxiously, “Daddy, if you don’t come soon, that man is going to take Mommy away!”

Yosef patted Adam reassuringly. “Easy now, I’m here.”

Skylar frowned. “What are you doing here?”

Skylar wondered to herself, ‘What is this, a treasure trove? Why does everyone keep dropping by my office one after another?‘
