Miracle Cutie (Amelia and Benjamin) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Nelson Smith

Nina was the sweetest little thing.

She held the boy’s hand, clearly dying to play with him. But she said softly, “Nina play wif you. Nina like you!”

That blunt, sugary confession was so innocent it actually melted the boy’s cool, detached expression.

He wasn’t the type who knew how to say anything that cute in return… so he just kept quietly feeding her snacks.

And Nina, being the little foodie she always was, couldn’t have been happier.

Watching the two of them get more and more glued together, Daniel finally raised his voice, trying to reel her back.

“Sweetheart! Come here! Let’s go do something else. How about I take you shopping, hmm?”

He was trying to tempt her away, but the second Nina heard him, she blinked her big eyes-and clapped her hands over her ears.

Daniel froze.

“Sweetheart, don’t you dare pretend you didn’t hear me!”

He was absolutely at his wits’ end.

He asked a staff member to bring Nina over, but before the woman even touched her, Nina’s lips wobbled, her eyes filled up, and she looked one sniffle away from a full meltdown.

Daniel sighed in pure defeat.

“Alright, fine. Forget it. You can keep playing.”

He was so frustrated that he could barely stand there without collapsing.

So he could only watch helplessly as the two little ones played in that castle for another two whole hours.

Finally, Nina got tired-and hungry.

All the snacks the boy fed her weren’t nearly enough to fill her tiny belly.

“Come on, go eat,” she said, tugging the boy’s hand as she waddled back to Daniel.

Seeing them still holding hands made Daniel’s eyes twitch.

“Sweetheart, why are you still holding his hand? We’re leaving now. Say goodbye.”

“No!” Nina tightened her grip, her soft little voice suddenly firm. “To-ge-der!”

She wanted to eat lunch with the boy.

Of course, Daniel wasn’t having that.

“Sweetheart, be good. He’s got parents too. I can’t just take him with us. If you really want to play with him again, I’ll bring you back next time.”

He tried bribing her with promises, but Nina lifted her chubby face, shook her head hard, and protested,

“No, no!”

Her tiny voice was loud and crystal clear.

She repeated it again and again, and when Daniel still didn’t agree, she sniffled and gave him a serious warning:

“Un-coo Dan’el… Nina cry! Nina cry a lot!”

And-true to her word-she did.
