The Mighty Dragon Warrior

Chapter 58

“It’s the weekend today, but you still have to work?” Jacob frowned.

“I don’t have a choice.” Moira sighed. “We have just been acquired by a huge corporation group, so there’s a lot of work to be done. Now that my boss has specifically asked us to work, I have no choice but to go, even if I’m on my period!”

She sounds like… He arched his brows slightly. Sure enough, this sounds like Moira.

However, Heidi did not accept her excuse. “You lied to me, Aunt Moira! You’re not bringing me to Dixy Land!”

“Stop complaining!” Moira pinched Heidi’s chubby cheeks. “Even though I have to work, I’ve never said that you can’t go to Dixy Land.”

As soon as Heidi heard that, she hugged Moira’s long and slender legs. “You’re the best, Aunt Moira! You’re my favorite!”

“What a mischievous little girl!” With a wide beam on her face, Moira tugged on Heidi’s braids before turning around to look at Jacob.

“I’ll pass the trouble to you then.”

Even though Jacob already expected this, he still found it hard to believe when he heard it with his own ears. “Do you trust me that much to bring her out to Dixy Land?”

“There’s nothing to worry about.” Moira gave an airy wave. “After all, we have the insurance from the agency.”

Seeing how carefree Moira was, thoughts of worry bubbled up in Jacob’s mind.

Is it really okay to temporarily let her raise my daughter?Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Completely unaware that she was already in Jacob’s mistrusted list, Moira said, “But I’m worried that she might not get used to you and throw tantrums, so I found another beautiful lady to help you out.”

Jacob did not give a thought about the beautiful lady she mentioned at all. Instead, he thought, Good. At least she knows to find another person to help me out.

Ten minutes later, he looked at a twelve-year-old girl hopping out of a taxi with a torn expression on his face. I take back my comment from just now.

“This is my younger cousin, Dana Thornborough.” Moira introduced with a smile as she held Dana’s hand. “Just call him Mr. Mooney, Dana.”

Dana was quite good looking. Not only was she fair, but her eyes were also energetic and intelligent.

Looking at Jacob, she waved as she introduced herself. “Hi, Mr. Mooney. Thanks for taking the trouble to take us out today!”

Through the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Heidi was looking at Dana solemnly because she was not familiar with the latter. With a nod of the head, he smiled at her. “No worries. It’s no trouble at all!”

I’ll have to bring Heidi anyway, so I don’t mind Dana tagging along, as long as she doesn’t interrupt my time with Heidi. With that in mind, he thought of something else. Should I make Moira work over time during the weekend, just so that I get to spend more time with my daughter?

Suddenly, Moira sneezed. She rubbed her nose and muttered to herself, “I bet that cold-hearted boss of mine is now asking me to work. How annoying!”

She let Dana’s fair and thin arms down before bending to gently pinch Heidi’s nose. “Behave yourself when you go out with Mr. Mooney and Dana later!”

“Okay!” Heidi nodded and lifted her tiny arms to wave at Moira. “Goodbye, Aunt Moira!”

“You ungrateful little fellow!” She rolled her eyes at Heidi.

Before she could even say a word, Dana said first. “Don’t worry, Moira. I’ll keep an eye on Heidi.”

After looking at the time, Moira lifted her head and looked at Jacob. “I’m going to work now.”

“Sure.” He nodded. However, he offered politely after a moment, “Would you like me to send you to your office?”

“Gee, thanks for that!” Moira smiled at him happily.
