Miracle Cutie (Amelia and Benjamin) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Meeting Daddy

When Nina heard someone say her dad had come home, she didn’t even spare him a glance.

Right now, she only wanted her mom.

Daniel still had her in his arms, though his eyes kept flicking nervously toward Benjamin from across the room. Outside these walls, Daniel was the one people bowed to-the youngest son of the Graham family, the guy no one dared cross.

But in front of Benjamin?

He’d been getting his butt kicked since they were kids.

While Daniel hesitated, little Nina-eyes glued to the bodyguards carrying Amelia-turned her soft milky voice toward them.

“Sir… be gentle, ‘kay?”

She was terrified they’d bump her mom while setting her down.

Under Nina’s watchful little gaze, Amelia was carried into the house and taken straight to a private room for treatment.

Then Nina spotted William.

The moment he walked over, he gently lifted her out of Daniel’s arms.

“Nina, your mom’s getting an IV,” he said softly. “Once she finishes and gets some rest, she’ll be alright. You don’t have to worry anymore.”

The doctor soon explained Amelia’s condition-years of overworking, her body pushed past its limit, topped off with a fever left untreated. But with the fever stabilized, she just needed rest and good care. She was young; she’d recover quickly.

Nina nestled against William, her tiny fingers exploring his face, curious and tender.

“Gwanpa… you play wif Nina later?”

She’d seen grandparents playing with kids at the neighborhood square. Now she wanted her own grandpa to play with her too.

William felt the soft little hand cupping his cheek and instantly melted. His stern expression softened into pure warmth.

“Of course I will,” he chuckled. “I’ll play with you as much as you want from now on.”

“Okay!” Nina beamed, her round cheeks glowing with sweetness.

Unable to resist, William leaned down and kissed her squishy cheek.

Nina didn’t dodge. Instead, she puckered her tiny lips and gave him a giggly kiss back.

William almost handed her the entire family fortune on the spot.

Four kids of his own, but not a single one of them wanted to be close to him.

Benjamin, especially-hopelessly obsessed with cleanliness-even as a kid, he hated being touched. If William tried to kiss him, Benjamin would wrinkle his brows, grunt in disgust, and march right out of the house.

Daniel copied him, of course. If Benjamin didn’t like kisses, then neither did he.

The eldest and the third? They each had their own brand of weirdness.

Raised four kids, but not one affectionate moment.

Now, with Nina-this little cinnamon roll-he finally knew what joy felt like.

“Gwanpa! Nina want milk!” she suddenly declared.

After kissing William, she patted her tummy and announced seriously, “Nina tummy go grrrr. Nina hungee.”

At two and a half, she mostly ate whatever Mommy cooked-but she also loved her milk powder. Honestly, between Mommy’s food and milk?

Milk won every time.

The moment William heard she was hungry, he sprang into action.

“Then let’s go have dinner right now. The kitchen already prepared food. And if you don’t want rice, Grandpa can make you milk instead, alright?”

Nina paused. “…Okay.”

She wasn’t in the mood for dinner, but Grandpa was being so nice. So she nodded obediently.

Soon, William took her to the dining room.

Daniel watched the two leave together-completely abandoned. He sighed and dropped onto the couch, pulling out his phone. Since no one needed him, he might as well do something useful.

Amelia was Nina’s mother-the woman who’d once been involved with Benjamin. Daniel wanted to know everything about her. He searched online and texted his assistant, Henry Powell, telling him to dig deeper and run a full background check.

Meanwhile, Nina was happily sitting in William’s lap as he fed her dinner.

“Here, sweetheart, try this pie.”

After washing her little hands, William handed her a whole pie to hold and nibble on. Other dishes were set out too.

Nina stared at the pic: prettier than Mommy’s, smelling amazing. She took a huge bite.

Thin crispy crust. Juicy filling. Meat inside.

The moment the flavor hit her tongue, her eyes sparkled.
