Chapter 1718
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âThey found the brain on the scene, his torso further up the road, while the manâs body is crushed under the car.
Now tell me, where is the manâs hand?â Danrique even interacted with the kids as well.
However, the kids were stunned. They stared at Danrique dumbly. Ellie and the girls looked pale, and they trembled in fear.
âYou donât know, do you?â Danrique still didnât realize that the story had gone horribly wrong. âDo you want me to tell you the answer?â
Ellie and the girls didnât want to answer that, while Robbie looked at Danrique darkly. What the heck is this?
Only Jamie raised his hands curiously. He wanted to know the answer. Well, hope he knew why curiosity killed the cat because he would probably be traumatized in three seconds.
A smile curled Danriqueâs lips and he stretched his hands out. âThe hands⦠are right here!â
âAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!â
The kids screamed in horror and ran away.
âWhat is it? What happened?â Charlotte quickly came after she heard the screams.
Ellie and the kids quickly hugged her and started crying. They trembled in fear, and they became a mess of tears.
âMommy!â Jamie looked white as a sheet, and his legs were trembling. He didnât cry, but he was surely tearful.
Only Robbie looked slightly fine. He stood on the side and crossed his arms as he tried to calm himself down, but he looked somber.
Danrique stared at the kids dumbly, still having no idea how wrong the storytelling session had gone.
âItâs alright now. Iâm here. Iâm here,â Charlotte gently calmed the children down and wiped their tears away. She asked, âAlright, what happened?â
Jade and Emma had been around for the session, so they knew what happened, but they hung their heads low and kept quiet.
âWhat happened?â Charlotte was starting to panic, so she asked Danrique, âWhat happened, Danrique?â
âI have no idea at all.â Danrique shrugged. âI was telling them a story, and they suddenly ran away.â
The girls cried louder after Danrique brought that up. Ellie puckered her lips, but she was still tearful, and she looked at her mother for comfort.
âUncleâs a meanie!â Jamie sniffled. âHe told us a ghost story, and itâs really scary!â
âErrâ¦â Charlotte was petrified. What the heck? Danrique told the children a ghost story? Is he for real?
âAnd itâs super scary and bloody too!â Robbie added indignantly. âAnd he even stretched his hands out to scare us even more!â
Robbie was always the mature one, but not even he could stand it this time. He complained to his mother, and his eyes were full of anger.
âYeah!â Jamie looked at Danrique, and he shivered in fear. Then he hid behind his mother. âMommy, Uncle Dan is a big meanie!â
âDaddy is a big meanie!â Alpha sniffled and complained.
âIâm going to tell Mommy about this!â Beta rubbed her eyes, and she kept crying.
âYeah! Iâm telling Mommy too! Sheâll know what to do!â Gamma wiped her tears off and quickly went to find her mother.
Her sisters followed. They wanted to snitch on their father.
âHey, girls!â Charlotte chased after them.
âWait for me, Mommy!â Ellie looked at Danrique and shivered, then she chased after her mother.
âWait for me too!â Jamie followed them, worried that he might be left behind.
Only Robbie didnât leave. Instead, he frowned at Danrique. He looked crestfallen, and Robbie couldnât leave him like that. He sighed and gave him some advice, âUncle Dan, that is not how youâre supposed to spend time with children.âq
