the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart

Chapter 648 - 468: It’s Not Your Fault for Being Dumb, Blame Your Daddy and Mommy

Delphine had been busy all day dealing with matters related to the movie during the New Year period. Due to Constantine Stewart’s firm stance, Chloe Winston would not participate in the movie’s promotional tour, only the premiere.

Delphine herself didn’t have much time for the promotional tour either, so she simply handed the task over to Desmond Wood and the assistant director.

Kyla Zamora had recently been focusing all her efforts on packaging Desmond Wood, who was thriving. He was appearing in variety shows, landing endorsements, and practically bursting with energy every day.

It wasn’t until evening that Delphine remembered to go to the hospital. The nurse had called her five or six times today urging her to come, so she decided to drop by briefly before heading home.

Upon arriving at the hospital, she saw Benjamin Leclair and Nicholas Carter gathered around an exceptionally handsome and adorable young boy in the corridor by the third-floor VIP ward. The three heads were huddled together.

"No, go left," Benjamin said crisply.

"It’s right," Nicholas insisted on his choice.

"You’re so dumb, go up," Casimir Shaw lazily pointed to the topmost room in the game. Seriously, they couldn’t even solve such a simple puzzle game? Ridiculous!

The two little kids exchanged glances. They were only four years old. While other kids were still learning their letters, they already recognized many characters. And now, someone dared to call them dumb!

Nicholas sulked and continued studying the game, while Benjamin reached out and tugged at Casimir’s shirt.

Casimir looked down at the wide-eyed, teary little girl who seemed on the verge of crying. He panicked instantly, hurriedly handed the game console to Nicholas, and scooped up the tiny child. Flustered, he stammered, "Don’t cry! If you cry, the wolves in the mountains will come and take you away!"

Benjamin blinked her big, dark eyes. This "big brother" was really amusing. She’d stopped believing in such things when she was three, and now she was already four.

"Benjamin’s not dumb!" The little girl, holding back tears, grabbed his shirt and said softly.

"You’re not dumb, you’re not dumb. Nicholas is the dumb one!" Casimir didn’t hesitate to shift the blame onto Nicholas.

Nicholas buried his head in the game and ignored him.

"Nicholas isn’t dumb either!" Benjamin raised her voice a little, and the tears in her eyes threatened to spill over.

"I’m dumb. I’m the dumb one!" Casimir nervously glanced toward the direction of the ward. This game console was his last remaining one, and he’d brought it out just to show off to these two little rascals!

Only then did the little girl burst into a smile, stood tip-toe, patted Casimir on the shoulder, and said softly, "Being dumb isn’t your fault. Blame your daddy and mommy."

Casimir: "..."

Delphine, watching from the side, couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Feeling a bit helpless, she said, "Benjamin, are you bullying the new little brother again?"

Benjamin’s eyes lit up at her words, and she quickly ran to Delphine, laughing, "Mommy, mommy, I really missed you!"

Nicholas also abandoned the game console and ran toward Delphine on his short little legs.

Casimir saw the commotion caused by the two little ones and hurriedly stuffed the game console into his backpack. Before he could zip the bag properly, a striking, steely-faced man shouted dangerously, "Casimir Shaw!"

"Here!" Casimir reflexively stood at attention, responding loudly. Straightening his little body, he snuck a glance at Mr. Shaw, who wore a serious expression. Dejected, Casimir slowly fished out the game console, handed it over, and hung his head.

"Thirty push-ups when we get home," Mr. Shaw ordered.

"Okay." The handsome young boy deflated like a punctured balloon. He cast a resentful glance at Benjamin, who had caused most of the commotion, only to see the little girl making a funny face at him. Snuggled in the embrace of the beautiful "auntie," she lifted her chin in defiance, leaving the young boy feeling utterly dejected.
