Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy นิยาย บท 74

After Lyla walked in, she stared at Gretel. Gretel gave her a charming smile.

Lyla could not wait to drag her out and taught her a lesson.

Without hearing any sound, Mark Pattinson lifted his gaze and when he saw Lyla, he frowned. It was the first time after a month, she came to look for him!

The last time they met was during Kathleen Turner’s accident, it was only a quick glance.

He looked at her coldly. “Is there anything?”

She could feel his rage, so Lyla got her emotions under control, walked over to him, and spoke professionally. “Mr. Pattinson, this requires your signature!”

Looking at the document in her hand, she frowned. “That’s all?”

“Mhm!” Lyla nodded.

Mark Pattinson felt displeased. He took the document from her and signed it without even taking a look at it. “Take it!”

Lyla took it and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now!”

Mark Pattinson frowned. He was about to say something but, with Gretel’s presence, he held back his words and did not stop Lyla from walking out.

At that moment, Gretel looked at Mark Pattinson and contemplated for a moment. “Mister, I need to go out for a while!”

Mark Pattinson was not in the mood. He did not respond to her, so Gretel immediately walked out.

At the corner, Lyla was seen waiting for her right there.

Gretel surrendered herself and walked over to her. “Mommy!” She immediately gave her an endearing smile.

Lyla did not know how to teach her a lesson. “Gretel, are you out of your mind?”

“What’s the matter, Mommy?” Gretel asked pretentiously.

She dared to ask this question.

“Did you just say what’s the matter?” Lyla asked her. “You...” She was seething and speechless.

Gretel smiled. “Mommy, don’t worry. Daddy doesn’t know anything!”

Of course, he did not know. If not, Mark Pattinson would not have talked to her so calmly!

Watching Lyla in a fit of rage, Gretel knew she could not stay stubborn for long, so, she simply blurted out and said, “Mommy, don’t be angry. I won’t repeat it the next time!”

Gretel was smart. She knew that once she humbled herself and admitted her mistakes, Lyla would not say anything.

“You…”

“Mommy, I was wrong!” Gretel immediately held Lyla’s hand and wore an endearing smile. With that look, how could Lyla blame her?

“I’m warning you, if anything happens, you’ll bear the consequences!” Lyla was mad and helpless at the same time.

Gretel shook her head. “Mommy, I can guarantee you that there won’t be any hiccups!”

Her appearance with Mark Pattinson on the television news today had indeed given her a shock. One should know that people nowadays were geniuses and able to dig up one’s information with a snap of their fingers.

She did not want to let Mark Pattinson know about their existence. Otherwise, she dared not imagine the consequences…

At that moment, just as Lyla was about to continue, the office door was opened abruptly.

“Gretel!”

Mark Pattinson suddenly cried out and stunned them. Before they reacted to him, Mark Pattinson was already right in front of them.

He frowned, looking at Gretel and Lyla.

Fortunately, Gretel gave a quick response. She turned her head and looked at Mark Pattinson. “Mister, are you looking for me?”

“What are you both doing around here?”

“I’m looking for a washroom, but I cannot find it so I’m asking the lady over here!” Gretel said.

Mark Pattinson frowned. His first reaction was that Gretel had a good impression on Lyla. If not, she would not have greeted Kathleen Turner as “madam” but Lyla as “lady”.

“There’s one inside the office!” Mark Pattinson said.

Gretel nodded. “This lady has already informed me!” She then turned her head and looked at Lyla. “Thank you, big sister!”

The dramatic change in the scene gave Lyla butterflies in her stomach. When she heard Gretel’s reply, she smiled and said, “You’re welcome!”

“I’ll leave now!”

Those words were meant for Mark Pattinson, not for Gretel.

Mark Pattinson remained silent while Lyla turned and left.

Gretel stood still. She saw Mark Pattinson was watching Lyla’s silhouette from behind. She could not help but blurt out, “Mister, that lady is very pretty. She’s as pretty as my mommy!”

Mark Pattinson was speechless.

He gave Gretel a side glance and did not ponder much. “Come, let’s go in!”

Gretel nodded and followed him.

After she was out of Mark Pattinson’s sight, Lyla heaved a sigh.

Luckily, Gretel had reacted fast. If not, she would not have known how to respond to the situation.

She realized that her response was getting slower.

After thinking for a while, she decided to teach Gretel and Hansel a lesson!

At night, when Lyla went home, Hansel and Gretel were already waiting there.

Upon Lyla’s return, not only did they bring water to her but they also massaged her back.

“Mommy, are you tired today?”
