Chapter 729 The Little Girl is a Bit Gullible
Martha patiently wiped the girl's tears and coaxed her, "Don't cry. | will take you to find your mommy and daddy, okay?"Anna hesitated for a moment before nodding gently.Martha squatted for a while but got tired and struggled to stand up with Stefan's help.
At that moment, Anna took a step forward and tightly held Martha's finger in her small hand, afraid that Martha would leave if shelet go.
"Pretty auntie, please don't leave me," she said. She wanted to follow this beautiful auntie home.Anna stared at Martha without blinking and couldn't help wondering if she would grow up as pretty as her one day.Martha touched Anna's head lovingly and said gently, "Don't worry. | won't leave you."
Upon hearing this, Anna instantly calmed down a bit. She kept staring at Martha with her eyes wide open lest the pretty auntiedisappear in the blink of an eye.
Martha turned to Stefan worriedly and asked, "Should we take her to the police?""Yes. Ulmore has high traffic flow so it is safer to find the police," Stefan replied with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He obviously knew that finding this child's parents was not easy. Even though he had some power in Ulmore, various forceswere intertwined here, making it difficult for him to locate the little girl's parents quickly enough.
Moreover, handing over this matter to the police could prevent imposters from pretending they were related family members ofthe child.
Martha nodded in agreement, then bent down trying to pick up the little girl standing right before them.
Anna glanced at Martha's bulging belly hesitantly, which made Stefan immediately lean over, picking up the girl directly andsaying, "Let me do it."
Stefan looked at Martha's belly with obvious concern. He didn't trust letting her hold such a young child who appeared two orthree years old given she was pregnant.
Martha nodded slightly, knowing full well that holding children was inconvenient for herself now.
Suddenly being lifted by this serious uncle made Anna feel scared; Her small hands nervously clasped together while lookingback at Martha anxiously.novelbin
Although this strange man was handsome which made Anna want him to hold her, he had such an expressionless face whichseemed scary sometimes.
Martha immediately noticed how frightened the girl was feeling, so she smiled reassuringly while reaching out to touch Anna'shead and softly comforting her.
“Anna, don't be afraid. He is my husband. I'm carrying a baby in my belly, so it's not easy for me to hold you," Martha explainedgently.
Anna nodded seriously. "I know, there's a little boy in your belly, just like my mommy."
Martha smiled and patted Anna on the head, praising her for being sensible. Meanwhile, Stefan frowned slightly and his facedarkened.
Nonsense! It was obviously a little girl in Martha's belly.
He thought this to himself and corrected Anna out loud, "It's a little girl."
Anna saw the sudden change in Stefan's expression and her big eyes became evasive fearfully.This uncle looked scary as if he was going to eat her up!
Martha stood by and found it amusing. "Why are you arguing with a child?" She then reached out to touch Anna's chubby cheeksagain.
"Don't be afraid. With me here, he won't bully you."Anna nodded seriously again and held Martha's hand tightly.
Feeling the softness of Anna's palm against hers made Martha even softer in her tone when she spoke, "We're heading to thepolice station now."
"Okay," replied Anna softly as she felt that this beautiful lady who helped her today was really gentle.She thought that she had met an angel today who not only helped her but also took her away from that messy place.
The group got into the car together with Stefan holding Anna on his lap while Martha sat next to him on one side of the backseat.
Stefan looked at the driver with deep eyes before instructing him, "Go to the police station.”"Yes," replied the respectful driver before turning around and driving towards their destination.
During their journey there, Martha could sense Stefan trying hard not scare off or upset Anna by softening his facial expressionseven more than usual.
However, despite his efforts at looking less intimidating than usual, he still frightened poor little Anna somewhat.
If possible, she would have loved nothing more than escaping from this strange uncle's embrace but didn’t know how or whatwords would work best for such an occasion.
Martha quickly noticed how uncomfortable Ana was feeling, so she turned towards Stefan, saying, "Look what you've done?You've scared off her."
Stefan turned innocently towards his wife; he didn't want things like this happening either.
He could feel the stiffness in the little girl's body as he tried to slow down his tone, but he didn't know how to communicate withsuch a young child.

After a long silence, Stefan finally managed to say something.
"Little one, how old are you?"
Anna suddenly heard the strange man's words and her body stiffened again. The smile on her face also looked forced."I'm already three and a half.”

Anna nodded lightly and gave Martha a big smile in return.
"Pretty auntie, | believe you," she said confidently, "if you say he is good, then he must be good."Stefan raised an eyebrow slightly and suddenly felt that this little girl was easily fooled.
In the future, he must teach his own daughter not to be easily deceived by others.
Just as Stefan was lost in thought, Martha's concerned voice came from her red lips -
