Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Pranking Beau Shelby (1)
Casper North hurriedly leaned in, and after hearing the plan, his eyes changed: "Shea, if I’ve ever offended you in any way before, please forgive me for Raina’s sake."
Damn, Shea is really ruthless.
The epitome of an angelic appearance with a devilish heart.
Outside the door.
Beau Shelby looked at the tightly shut door, his brows involuntarily furrowing.
What was the deal with that kid just now?
Just as he was about to knock on the door again, the door suddenly opened.
A little girl with rosy cheeks and eyes like gems walked out.
She tilted her head up, opened her big eyes, and said in a childish voice: "Big brother, are you here to see Raina?"
"Yes." Beau Shelby’s voice softened, and he lowered his tone: "Is she home now?"
"No, Raina hasn’t been back for several days."
"I see." Beau Shelby was a bit disappointed: "Do you know where Raina went?"
"I do. Big brother, if you’re in a hurry to find Raina, I can take you."
"Little sister, thank you then."
"No need to be so polite. Big brother, wait for me a moment."
Shea went back to the room, put on her little backpack, and slipped into her pretty little shoes, dressing up beautifully as she came out.
She slipped her small hand into Beau Shelby’s palm: "Big brother, let’s go."
Beau Shelby couldn’t help but smile at Shea’s vanity; this little girl really resembled Raina. He remembered Raina loved beauty just as much when she was younger.
Recalling the past, Beau Shelby’s expression became somewhat dazed. Back in those days, Raina was truly wonderful, but unfortunately, that misplaced life meant he could never find the original Raina North again.
Thinking of Claire crying bitterly in front of him, Beau Shelby’s expression grew a bit melancholic.
As soon as Beau Shelby and Shea entered the elevator, Casper North immediately came out from home and entered another elevator.
Beau Shelby’s car was parked by the roadside. He opened the car door: "Little beauty, get in the car."
Shea didn’t move; she tilted her head: "Big brother, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course." Perhaps because this child easily reminded him of the past, Beau Shelby was quite patient with her.
Shea blinked her eyes: "Did you ever like Raina?"
"Yes, I did."
"Then would you be willing to marry Raina?"
Beau Shelby chuckled: "Do kids nowadays already understand so much?"
"Big brother, you said you would answer my question."
"Alright." Beau Shelby said: "I wouldn’t."
"Why?" Shea’s voice turned cold, though she still looked adorable.
Beau Shelby replied solemnly: "Because I’d like to marry another lady. Little one, liking and loving are different things."
"But, you clearly have an engagement with Raina."
Beau Shelby was taken aback, his brows slightly furrowed: "Did Raina North tell you this?"
When Beau Shelby said this, he felt a surge of anger.
What on earth was Raina North doing, telling kids such things? Doesn’t she know that the vendettas of the adult world can easily impact children?
Beau Shelby suppressed his displeasure: "Kiddo, the adult world is complicated, don’t worry about it. You just need to grow up happily."
Shea sighed, looking very resigned: "Big brother is right, I do want to grow up peacefully and ignore it. But how can there be men like you in this world."
Beau Shelby was stunned, unable to believe these words came from a child so young.
Just as he was about to say something more, Shea suddenly started shouting: "Help! Someone’s trying to kidnap a child!"
