Chapter 1417 Cry louder James glanced indifferently at the snacks in her hand, his gaze barely noticeable. âDo you want to be punished by me, or do you want to do as I say? Itâs your choice.â
Grace, who was feeling proud, heard this and her raised lips instantly drooped. âUncle James, youâre so annoyingâ¦
James shrugged nonchalantly. âThere are plenty of people who dislike me, one more wonât make a difference.â
Grace felt like talking to him was either asking for trouble or inviting trouble. Unfortunately, he had caught her in a compromising situation. How infuriating!
After grinding her sharp teeth, she stuffed the potato chips into James hand. âIâll help you with your tasks, you watch over the chips for me. Once everythingâs done, youâll feed me!â
Watching his proud and confident figure, James smirked lightly before emotionlessly tossing the chips to the maid. âThrow them awayâ
Unaware of everything, Grace ran into the kitchen and hugged Ameliaâs thigh. âAuntie, are you mad at Uncle James?â
Amelia didnât expect Grace to come to Jamesâ defense and smiled, patting her chubby nose âEven if you speak up for him, it wonât make a difference.â
Grace rolled her eyes. âIâm not speaking up for Uncle James, I just think heâs a little pitiful. Donât be mad at him, okay?â
Amelia remained unconvinced, so Grace tugged on her clothes. âAuntieâ¦â
Grace wouldnât normally act spoiled for James, so there must be something he had on her. âDid you steal snacks again?!â
Terrified, Grace extended her chubby hands, desperately denying it. âNo, no, I absolutely didnât steal snacks. Iâm just doing Uncle James a favor!â
It only took a few words to coax the truth out. âAs long as you didnât steal snacks, if I catch you, Iâll spank you.â
Grace vigorously nodded. âDonât worry, I wonât stealâ.
Amelia pushed her. âGo wash your hands and get ready for dinner.â
Grace turned around but then twisted back. âAuntie, are you still mad at Uncle James?â
Amelia smiled softly. âNot mad anymore, now hurry up and go.â, With a smile on her face, Grace ran out of the kitchen.
However, just as she completed her task and returned, she was informed by the maid that the potato chips had been thrown in the trash.
Furious, Grace sat on the ground, wailing loudly. âLiar, big har!â
James scanned her coldly. âCry louder, let your auntie hear you!
Grace immediately shut her mouth. âIf it wasnât for fear of Auntie finding out that I stole snacks, I would cry all night and annoy you to death The man raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent. âEat less. Itâs hard to lose weight when you grow up.
Even though it was good advice, why did it sound so unpleasant?
Grace felt so miserable. âUncle James, youâre so annoyingâ¦
