Chapter 7 I Told You You would Yourself Get Hurt
Erika opened her mouth in surprise as they went into the house. It didn't occur to her that the handsome man should be so wealthy!
The house was extravagantly furnished. There was a huge TV in the living room, and the sofa was apparently, very expensive. Besides, a dozen servants were standing there, waiting for orders. "It's happy to be your daughter," Erika looked up and said seriously.
Sebastian pressed his thin lips together and stared at her little face. Suddenly he snorted, "You still have to stand in the corner, even if you're sweet talking me now."
"Sebastian," Bella came up to them at this moment and tried to act gently. "little Joanna didn't run away on purpose. Don't be angry anymore. Now we've only had one daughter left, and we have to be kind to her, don't we?"
Sebastian heard that, and his eyes darkened and glinted with mixed emotions.
Now they had only had one daughter left. He would live with pain for the rest of his life!
But also because of this, he softened towards Erika. "Don't do it again."
The moment he finished his sentence, Sebastian went to the study on the second floor.
No sooner had Sebastian left than Bella's gaze fell upon Erika. Bella reached out and pinched her cheek. "Don't run away again, or else I wouldn't help you if your dad told you to stand in the corner!"
"You didn't want to help me anyway," Erika tilted her head and looked straight in Bella's eyes, cutting to the chase. "You just wanted to play the loving mother." Then she clicked her tongue and continued, shaking her head, "But the look of concern on your face was unconvincing because you pushed too hard."
Bella clenched her teeth. It had only been a few hours since the little girl had run out of the house, but how come she had become a totally different person? She had also got a sharp tongue! "Hey, stop talking nonsense." Bella managed to recover herself. "Otherwise, I'd spank you."
Erika, however, wasn't intimidated at all and took a step back. "Be careful yourself. I can see the hostility on your face. You'll get yourself hurt today."
What?
Bella got even angrier upon hearing that. How dared a little girl curse her?
"I see. You've become a bad girl since you came back." A sinister look flashed across Bella's beautiful eyes. "I won't take you to the amusement park if you go on talking nonsense like this." Erika ignored her, ran to the sofa and sat down, picking up the remote control and turning on the TV.
Bella took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. If Sebastian wasn't at home, she would long have spanked that little bitch!
But now, it was more important to play up to him first.
With this thought, Bella went to the kitchen to get a cup of Americano before she enhanced her cleavage and minced upstairs.
However, just as she took a few steps, her hand suddenly shook so that the hot coffee spilt all over her hand. It was so hot that she dropped the cup.
The huge noise attracted Erika's attention. "I told you to be more careful."
"It's just an accident," Bella said dismissively.
And this little bitch told her she would get herself hurt today. Was this what she meant? There was only a little redness on her skin. She would just run cold water on it and everything would be all right.
Bella thought so and turned around, but she stepped on the coffee, slipped and fell on the stairs as she steadied herself with her left hand on the fragments of the coffee cup, which pierced through her palm. In an instant, blood splattered all over the place.
"See that? I told you you would get yourself hurt." Erika jumped off the sofa. "I'll call the maids to take you to hospital."
So that she could run away from the hospital and go back to her mother and two brothers' side!
However, just as Erika was about to run, she was stopped by the servant. "Just stay at home, little lady Joanna. Let us take Mrs Grant to hospital."
The next moment, the servant picked Erika up and carried her upstairs.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
