Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Steel-Toothed Little Lamb? (1)
The young woman watched as her son clung happily to Raina North, unwilling to let go, feeling a mix of bitterness and jealousy in her heart: "Looks like my son really likes you."
Raina North smiled: "Perhaps it’s fate."
The young woman hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Sir, I have a difficult request. Could you take my son home?" Afraid that Raina would refuse, she quickly added, "Don’t worry, sir, I will definitely pay you."
Raina North originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the little guy’s pulse, nodded: "No need to be so formal, meeting White is also fate."
The young woman let out a sigh of relief when she saw Raina agree and quickly called the driver.
On the way back, Raina learned that the woman’s name was Poppy Willows, a young lady from a small martial arts family.
Currently, her husband had passed away two years ago due to a gang fight. At that time, White had witnessed it firsthand, and since then, the smart and clever White hadn’t spoken a word and had become irritable and quick-tempered.
Upon hearing this, Raina couldn’t help but gently stroke the hair of the little cub in her arms. No wonder, such events are intolerable for adults unless they grew up in The Umbral Zone, let alone a child of a few years.
After arriving at The Willows Family, Raina was warmly received by the whole family, who hospitably invited her to stay.
Coincidentally, Raina didn’t want to return to the hotel, so she took the opportunity to stay. Besides playing with White every day, she secretly treated the little guy with acupuncture.
It’s really too much of a pity for such an adorable child to be ruined like this.
Two days passed in a flash when Raina was in the yard playing ball with White and received a call from Jonah Rivers.
"Brother, how does it feel to be among a flock of little lambs in sheep’s clothing these days?"
Raina North was dripping with cold sweat: "What sheep’s clothing? I am originally a little lamb, okay?"
If anything, she had put on the wolf’s clothing, okay?
Jonah Rivers chuckled: "A steel-toothed little lamb?"
Raina North: "..."
"Cut the crap, if you have something to say, hurry up. I’m busy right now."
"Busy playing with a little kid?"
Raina instinctively glanced around and saw Jonah standing on the massive sycamore tree outside The Willows Family gate.
He was holding his phone, looking down at her coldly: "Raina North, Orion Rivers, you made me work like a dog while you leisurely play with the kid. How cruel is that?"
Since she had been caught, Raina didn’t bother to disguise, surrendering with a smile: "Cruel? Why not."
Jonah choked, not expecting Raina to be so shameless.
But considering The Celestial Alliance’s usual principle is shamelessness, as the Alliance Hierarch, Raina was setting an example.
Jonah took a deep breath: "Don’t forget about tomorrow night’s auction. If you’re late, I’m not responsible."
"Don’t worry, I won’t be late." It’s about her grandfather’s life, she wouldn’t forget.
"Hanging up."
"Wait a minute!"
"Hmm?" Jonah’s expression was very arrogant, thinking that even if Raina showered him with praises, he wouldn’t care.
Who knew Raina would say: "Make sure to prepare enough funds, don’t let me be unable to spend big tomorrow night."
Jonah: "..."
He shouldn’t have any expectations for this woman!
Raina watched Jonah angrily hang up and leave, shaking her head in resignation. Still too young, can’t handle a bit of provocation.
