Miracle Cutie (Amelia and Benjamin) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 A Black Mark

Nina usually didn’t want William around at bedtime.

She preferred Amelia to put her to sleep.

Benjamin didn’t say anything but just stared at Amelia without blinking.

A few seconds later, Amelia softened under his

gaze.

She squeezed his hand and agreed. “Alright then. Let’s go on a date.”

The two turned and left without even entering the house.

Meanwhile, inside, Nina was proudly showing her little red flower to William, completely unaware of their departure.

William was recording a video of her.

He hadn’t been filming for long before Nina came over, wanting to see it. “Grandpa, I see!”

In the video, she was giggling, looking utterly adorable.

Watching herself, Nina giggled again.

“Nina’s such a good girl, getting a little red flower!” William picked her up and kissed her cheek. “What reward does our amazing Nina want?”

“Car,” Nina said.

She had plenty of cars already, but they tended to get worn out quickly.

Toy cars were still her favorite.

William indulged her. If she wanted a car, he’d buy her one.

They played together for quite a while before Nina suddenly remembered to look for Amelia.

She ran around the house once but didn’t find her.

“Mommy! Mommy!” she called out.

Nina ran around again but still couldn’t find her.

Now she was getting worried.

Unable to find Amelia, she came to ask William, “Granda! Where Mommy?”

William had already received a message from Benjamin letting him know they were out and wouldn’t be back for a while.

He tried to coax her, “Mommy is busy. Nina can play with Grandpa.”

Nina frowned, looking at the darkening sky outside.

She was getting upset. “Dark!”

“Yes, it’s dark. We’ll play inside,” William said.

Nina didn’t agree.

She stomped toward the door, angry, “Mommy go out! Me find Mommy!”

Nina wasn’t that little anymore and wasn’t easily fooled,

She knew Amelia had gone out without her, and that made her furious.

William caught up to her, trying to get her to stay inside

Nina dodged his hands and was hard to hold onto.

William said, “Mommy will be back soon, Nina. Be a good girl and play here.”

“No good!” she declared.

When Nina got this stubborn, William genuinely couldn’t control her.

Well, it wasn’t that he couldn’t, but if he held her down, he’d burst into tears, and he couldn’t bring himself

to do that.

Just as William was struggling, Daniel arrived home just in time.

He wasn’t alone; he’d brought Erik, who was still upset about his broken heart.

Erik greeted William politely.

William, who knew him well, asked briefly about Erik’s father before telling the two young men what to do.

He said, “Nina wants to go out to find her mother. It’s too late for that. Don’t let her leave. You two entertain

her.”

Since William told them to, they had to obey.

Daniel picked Nina up and carried her into his room.

Once inside, when he saw Nina was still determined to ave, Daniel pulled out his secret weapon. “Nina, wanted to watch cartoons?”

Nina hesitated.

Seizing the moment, Daniel turned on the TV.

With the television on, Nina calmed down for a bit.

“Un-coo Dan’el, watch piggy,” Nina said, pointing at Peppa Pig on the cartoon channel.

Daniel didn’t put it on.
