Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 656:

Since she and her brother arrived at the Daniels Manor, although their father had been kind, he hadn’t shown such warmth. They longed for it but hesitated. Today, their wish was granted.

Seeing his sister receive a hug and a kiss from their father, Lawrence felt jealous. He mustered the courage to approach Connor and looked up at him. “Dad, I want a hug and a kiss too.”noveldrama

Connor, in high spirits, obliged without hesitation. He scooped up Lawrence, sat him on his lap, and kissed his cheek.

Lawrence immediately broke into a smile.

Watching this tender scene, Marissa couldn’t maintain her anger. Continuing the argument would only spoil the moment.

She sighed and headed upstairs. “I’m going to bed.”

This was the first time Lawrence and Lindsay had acted so affectionately in their father’s arms. They didn’t want to leave Connor, nor did he want to part with them. He patiently played with them for a long time.

It wasn’t until the children fell asleep in his arms that he asked the servants to escort Arabella and the children back to the main house.

After Arabella and the children had left, Connor ascended the stairs with the two porcelain figurines.

Entering the bedroom, he heard the shower running and knew Marissa was inside the bathroom. He settled on placing the figurines on the coffee table.

After gazing at them for a while, he positioned the snake lady figurine in the arms of the male figurine. The chubby man now held the beauty.

Content with the arrangement, he smiled with satisfaction.

At that moment, the bathroom door swung open, and Marissa emerged, toweling off her hair.

Noticing the two figurines embracing on the coffee table, she pursed her lips and silently branded Connor in her mind as “Childish!”

Yet, in a similarly childlike impulse, she commanded, “Separate them!”

Despite her refusal to see herself as the snake woman, the sight of the man figurine embracing her likeness felt like a slight.

Connor, amused, teased her, “Black Snake, you don’t consider yourself as this snake lady, do you? So if I’m holding someone else now, what does it have to do with you?”

Marissa was left speechless.

She had no comeback.

She huffed and turned away from him. After finishing with her hair, she climbed into bed. Although she struggled to sleep without him beside her, she forced her eyes shut, determined not to glance his way.

Connor chuckled and headed into the bathroom for his shower
