Chapter 729 The Little Girl is a Bit Gullible
Martha patiently wiped the girl's tears and coaxed her, "Don't cry. I will take you to find your mommyand 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, afraidthat Martha would leave if she let 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 prettyas her one day.
Martha touched Anna's head lovingly and said gently, "Don't worry. I won't leave you."
Upon hearing this, Anna instantly calmed down a bit. She kept staring at Martha with her eyes wideopen lest the pretty auntie disappear 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 eyebrowsslightly furrowed.
He obviously knew that finding this child's parents was not easy. Even though he had some powerin Ulmore, various forces were intertwined here, making it difficult for him to locate the little girl'sparents quickly enough.
Moreover, handing over this matter to the police could prevent imposters from pretending they wererelated family members of the child.
Martha nodded in agreement, then bent down trying to pick up the little girl standing right beforethem.
Anna glanced at Martha's bulging belly hesitantly, which made Stefan immediately lean over,picking up the girl directly and saying, "Let me do it."
Stefan looked at Martha's belly with obvious concern. He didn't trust letting her hold such a youngchild who appeared two or three 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 nervouslyclasped together while looking back at Martha anxiously.
Although this strange man was handsome which made Anna want him to hold her, he had such anexpressionless face which seemed scary sometimes.
Martha immediately noticed how frightened the girl was feeling, so she smiled reassuringly whilereaching out to touch Anna's head 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 tohold you," Martha explained gently.
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, Stefanfrowned slightly and his face darkened.
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.novelbin
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 totouch Anna's chubby cheeks again.
"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 shespoke, "We're heading to the police station now."
"Okay," replied Anna softly as she felt that this beautiful lady who helped her today was reallygentle.
She thought that she had met an angel today who not only helped her but also took her away fromthat messy place.
The group got into the car together with Stefan holding Anna on his lap while Martha sat next to himon one side of the back seat.
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 bysoftening his facial expressions even more than usual.
However, despite his efforts at looking less intimidating than usual, he still frightened poor little Annasomewhat.
If possible, she would have loved nothing more than escaping from this strange uncle's embrace butdidn't know how or what words 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'tknow how to communicate with such a young child.
It was only at this moment that our cold Mr. Harrison truly realized that if he had a daughter, therewould be much more for him to do, like how to communicate with a little girl.
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 facealso looked forced.
"I'm already three and a half."
Martha blinked and looked mischievously at the little girl beside her. She smiled and said, "Anna,you're such an adorable little girl. This uncle holding you is a good person, so you don't have to be
so scared."
Anna nodded lightly and gave Martha a big smile in return.
"Pretty auntie, I 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 -
"Why were you crying at that intersection, Anna? Where did your mommy go?"
Upon hearing this question, tears welled up in Anna's eyes again. She pouted for a moment. Whenshe was about to cry again, Stefan's low yet soothing voice sounded behind her, "Anna, you're socute; if you cry, then you won't look cute anymore."
Stefan imitated what Martha did when she comforted Anna by softly whispering into Anna's ear,which made Martha surprised
She never expected him to learn how to soothe a kid.
Now it seemed like Stefan really wanted a daughter of his own!
