An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori novel Chapter 827

"Yay! We're going to the theme park tomorrow!" Haley cheered excitedly when she heard Dustin's reply.

She didn't forget to thank him sincerely too. "Thank you, Uncle Dustin! I wish you the best of luck and happiness and that you can rest in peace."

"Rest in peace?" Natasha was first taken aback for a moment before she burst into laughter.

The child was too entertaining!

"What nonsense are you spouting? I think you mean to wish him a good and peaceful rest!" Nelson shot her a look and quickly corrected her.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Rhys! She didn't mean what she said. Please don't take it to heart," Cecilia immediately apologized.

She worried he might be offended to hear something like that when he was hospitalized.

"That's alright. She means no harm." Dustin smiled warmly, not offended in the least.

"Uncle Dustin, it's my birthday tomorrow. Will you join us to celebrate my birthday?" Haley cocked her head and asked innocently.

"Sure! I'll be there!" Dustin ruffled her hair affectionately and agreed with a smile.

"Awesome!" Haley jumped with joy.

"Haley, you invited Uncle Dustin. What about me?" Natasha teased.

"You're welcome to join, pretty lady!" Haley nodded enthusiastically.

"You're such an adorable child! I've got a gift for you!"

As Natasha spoke, she pulled out an intricate crystal necklace and placed it in Haley's hand.

Then, she asked her with a smile, "Do you like it?"

"I do! Thank you, pretty lady!"

Haley quickly planted a kiss on Natasha's cheek, making her giggle.

"Miss Harmon, the necklace is too expensive for Haley! You should keep it!" Nelson was shocked.

"I can't take back a gift that I've given her! Besides, it's just a necklace. It isn't worth much." Natasha patted Haley on the head.

"Do you not want a baby with the pretty lady because you don't like her?" Haley asked again.

"Hmm?" Natasha looked at Dustin with her arms crossed.

"I do! Of course, I do like her," Dustin said with a nervous smile.

"Are kids these days all so mature?" he wondered.

"Well, if you like her, then why won't you have a baby with her?" Haley asked.

"We're not married yet. We'll have a baby after we get married," Dustin forced an answer.

"And when will you get married?" Haley seemed relentless.

Dustin was stumped.

"Can we please change the conversation, kiddo? I'm begging you!" Dustin silently pleaded in his head.
