The Ex-con Queen Strikes Back novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261

Chapter 261

Adam had hoped his parents would talk and perhaps even grow a bit closer, but to his disappointment, they ignored each other and went straight to sleep. Bored after watching cartoons for a while, Adam snuggled into Skylar’s arms and fell asleep. When he woke up again, he found himself already nestled in Yosef’s arms.

“Daddy,” Adam murmured sleepily as he rubbed his eyes. “Did you book the hotel?”

“Yes, it’s booked,” Yosef replied.

Adam looked at Skylar, noticed she was fast asleep, then leaned closer and whispered, “What type of room did you book?”

“Two king rooms,” replied Yosef.

“Daddy, you’re so dumb,” Adam complained.

Caught off guard by Adam’s complaint, Yosef raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s wrong now?”

Adam complained, “Seriously, Daddy? How can you be so clueless?”

Yosef playfully tapped Adam’s chin and said, “Alright then, if not a king room, what should I have booked instead?”

Adam took another look at Skylar to confirm she was still asleep. Leaning closer, he whispered, “This is how it’s done.” With a sigh of frustration, Adam said, “Honestly, Daddy, I really can’t understand how you ever managed to make Mommy fall for you.”

‘Gosh, Mommy must have had such a hard time falling for someone as clueless as you, Daddy,’ Adam mused.

Yosef playfully flicked Adam’s forehead and teased, “Do you think I’m that useless now?”

Adam sulked and murmured, “Well, it is true.”

Yosef chuckled and remarked, “Adults know better than to argue with clever little smart alecks.”

“Come on, Daddy, you just got outsmarted by a kid!” Adam said firmly.

Yosef playfully pinched Adam’s mouth and teased, “Alright, you caught me. That sharp tongue of yours never gives an inch–just like your

mommy.”

Skylar woke up by their whispers. She then remarked, “Never give an inch? Mr. Campbell, you hit the nail on the head.”

Yosef stumbled over his words, caught in the act. ‘Oh no… Did Mommy hear that?‘ Adam panicked inwardly.

“Mommy, Daddy, and I have already booked the hotel,” Adam said.

“Okay, as long as it’s booked,” Skylar replied.

‘Phew, it seems Mommy didn’t hear anything,’ Adam thought, finally releasing the breath he’d been holding.

As soon as the plane touched down, Skylar took Adam and went directly to the hotel. “Ma’am, here is your room key,” said the receptionist as

she set it on the counter.

“Wait, that can’t be right… Skylar murmured, flipping the card sleeve in her hands repeatedly as she tried to make sense of the situation. With a frown of confusion, she thought, Wait, just one key? Didn’t we book two rooms?‘

The receptionist said, “Yes, there’s only one room left.”

Skylar felt doubtful and frowned, thinking, ‘How could a hotel of this size possibly have only one room left?

“You’re not reserving a room for someone and just telling us that there are none available, are you?” Skylar asked.
