Chapter 628

Timothy was momentarily speechless. He quickly picked up a nearby robe and draped it over himself.

Looking down at Ginger, he spoke up. “The heavy rain hasn’t stopped yet. Looks like you won’t be able

to

leave Xanier Island for the time being.”

“Oh, I see. So that means people from outside can’t come here either?”

Ginger let out a relieved sigh, knowing Mia couldn’t come. At least for now, she wouldn’t have to worry

about getting in trouble.

Looking up at Timothy, Ginger pleaded, “Tim, can I stay for one more day? I’ll ask my mommy to give

you

money later.”

Timothy couldn’t resist pinching her chubby cheeks affectionately. “I have some business to attend to

later. You stay in the room and behave yourself. If you need anything to eat, just let the hotel staff know,

and they’ll bring it to you. And don’t go running around.”

“But Tim, can’t I go with you? I promise to behave,” Ginger pleaded.

“No.” Timothy replied firmly. After all, the casino was not a suitable place for children.

Ginger rolled her eyes in response. “Can I go to the amusement park then?”

“Sure,” Timothy agreed:

He then pulled out a wad of bills from his wallet and placed them in Ginger’s small backpack. “Buy”

whatever you like. But remember to take Joe with you to the amusement park. And no running around!”

“Got it,” Ginger replied.

Taking her backpack, Ginger suddenly remembered something and retrieved her Apple watch. “It’s out

of

battery.”

Timothy glanced at the watch and instructed, “Charge it for her.”

Heath promptly brought over the charger. Ginger obediently waited by the Apple watch, her feet

swinging

in the air as she sat in her yellow overalls.

“Tim!”

Just then, Luna entered the room, her surprise evident upon seeing Ginger on the sofa. “Who’s this?”

She couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between Ginger and Mia.

Timothy elanced at Caleb. “You explain.”

Caleb cleared his throat awkwardly and replied, “She might, uh, possibly be my daughter.”

Luna’s confusion deepened upon hearing Caleb’s words. Ginger looked so much like Mia, how could

she be Caleb’s daughter? She seemed more like Timothy’s child.

Lunt fet perplexed. Caleb, are you sure she’s your daughter? She doesn’t seem to resemble you at all.

And why haven’t you mentioned her before?”

“Believe it or not, I only just found out myself,”

“Caleb, are you sure you’re not being deceived?”

At these words. Ginger shot a look at Luna and spat out angrily, “You’re the liar, and so is your entire

Upon hearing Ginger’s accusation, Luna looked at her with a frown. “Why are you so upset, young

lady?

Where are your parents?”

Tm not telling you!” Ginger snapped, turning her back on them.

Aware of Ginger’s temper, Caleb intervened, “Ginger, we have to attend to some important matters.

Please stay here and don’t wander around.”

With that. Timothy and Caleb exited the room together.

Luna couldn’t help but trail behind them. “Seriously, are you just leaving her here like this? Where

exactly

are you guys going, anyway?”

Caleb turned to her, saying, “Luna, we’re heading to the casino on the first floor. Could you keep an eye

on Ginger and make sure she doesn’t wander off?”

Luna was taken aback. “But I don’t even know her,” she retorted.

Timothy glanced over. “You have some experience with children.”

“Yeah, Luna, Ginger is around the same age as your son, so just help us out for now. Once the airport

is

operational again, we’ll arrange for her to go home.”

Reluctantly, Luna consented. She asked cautiously, “Caleb, is Ginger really your daughter?”
