Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as I finished speaking, I picked up my bag and left quickly, leaving these silly people behind.
I still have to rush home to take care of my two babies.
“Winnie, mommy isn’t home. I’m so bored. Can you play baseball with me?”
Nicole was holding up a baseball bat that was as long as her arm and waving it around.
“Sorry Nicole, I am reading a book. Have fun by yourself.”
Winnie looked up and shook her head at Nicole, who was dressed in sportswear and had short blond curls that made her look like a tomboy.
“Fine.”
Feeling lonely, Nicole put down her baseball bat and walked to the balcony. Leaning over the railing, she looked down at the group of kids playing basketball.
“If only I had an older brother to play with,” Nicole mumbled.
As her eyes darted around, Nicole suddenly noticed that the face that resembled her had appeared in the window opposite her.
It was a little boy with short blond hair and wearing a suit.
Nicole’s eyes widened. Next, she waved her hands and shouted, “Hey! Hey!”
Winnie, who was sitting on the small desk, frowned and said, “Nicole, what are you shouting about?”
Seeing that the person inside the window had washed his hands and was about to leave, Nicole quickly picked up a baseball and threw it at him with all her might.
“Clang!” The entire glass window opposite was smashed by the baseball.
The boy on the other side took a step back in shock and looked up.
The two blond little kids looked at each other and saw disbelief and shock in each other’s eyes.
“Nicole! You’re in trouble again!”
Winnie hurriedly ran to the balcony and tiptoed to look. As expected, the glass window opposite was smashed.
Seeing the face disappear from the window, Nicole was momentarily stunned. She then quickly ran out.
“Nicole! Nicole!”
Winnie watched as Nicole’s figure disappeared into the doorway of the house. She held her forehead helplessly.
“Who are you?”
“You!”
The two children ran out of the door and bumped into each other.
Nicole subconsciously stepped back and closed the door.
“My name is Noelle. Why do you look like me?” The boy asked in amazement.
“Hello, Noelle. I wanted to ask you the same question!”
Nicole moved closer to the little boy and pinched his cheeks before exclaiming, “How miraculous!”
Just as Noelle was about to say something, the phone in the room suddenly rang.
“Oh no, my dad is rushing me!”
Noelle’s expression changed, and he quickly checked his attire before running to the phone to answer the call.
“Hello? Daddy.”
“Noelle, when can you come downstairs? Dad’s in a hurry.”
“I was just washing my hands. I’ll be right down.”
“I forgot to take my documents. I’ll come up and pick you up.”
“Huh?”
Noelle looked at the glass fragments scattered all over the washroom floor and flashed Nicole a look. He was meaning to say, “You did this! Hurry up and clean this up!”
Nicole understood and quickly entered the room to look around for cleaning tools.
“I don’t think that’s necessary, daddy. I—I’ll get it for you.”
Noelle watched as Nicole scrambled to clean up the broken glass. She was so nervous she started stuttering.
“It’s okay. My files are in the safe. You can’t get them out. I’ll be right up. By the way, Noelle, don’t speak so quickly. You need to act like a gentleman.”
Alpha hung up.
“My father will be back soon. He will punish me if he sees that I broke the glass window!”
Noelle was so anxious that he was sweating. When he saw Nicole halfway through cleaning up, he said, “I’ll keep watch at the door for you. Hurry.”
“I know! Don’t rush me!”
Nicole was cleaning up the broken glass with a small broom. She also stuffed the baseball she had thrown in her pocket.
I received a call from my family as soon as I reached the bottom of the Kamel apartment building.
“Hey, baby, what’s up?”
Winnie’s voice came through the phone.. “Mommy, Nicole broke the neighbor’s glass window.”
