Jacob turned around and glanced nonchalantly at the young man grabbing his daughter’s arm. He
narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, “Move your hand away.”
The young man frowned. “Sir, do you know this child? My friend does not seem to know you.”
Only two tables were occupied in that restaurant. When Moira passed by his table just now, she did not
stop at all.
Jacob watched as his daughter’s face turned red from the pain. A glint of impatience flashed across his
eyes. “I said, move your hand away!”
The young man put on a solemn face. “I am responsible for this child on behalf of my friend. So please
stay away from this child, sir.”
Jacob cast a glance at him. He tried to hold back his annoyance and waved his hand at the young
man. “Alright then, the kid wants to go to the toilet. Hurry. Bring her.”
“To the toilet?” The young man was stunned for a while. Then he shook his head. “I’m a male. That
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould be inconvenient, wouldn’t it? Her aunt will be coming back soon. Perhaps we should just wait for
a bit longer.”
“I can’t hold it back any longer!” Cold sweat broke on Heidi’s white forehead.
Jacob whacked off the young man’s hand holding onto his daughter’s arm coldly. Then, he picked her
up and brought her to the washroom.
“Hey! How could you suddenly beat someone?” The young man felt a tinge of pain in his right hand. He
was furious and retorted angrily, “Put that child down now!”
His loud outcry attracted the restaurant manager’s attention. The manager quickly approached them
and asked solemnly, “Sir, may I know…”
The young man interrupted the manager before he could even ask. “That man has snatched my
friend’s child!”
Snatching other’s child away in broad daylight?
The manager’s face immediately changed. He turned around and shouted angrily, “Everybody come
out and help! Someone is trying to kidnap a child in our restaurant!”
Kidnapping a child? This is serious!
All the employees ran out almost immediately. Two large-sized chefs came out from the kitchen too
with their knives.
“Where is he?”
“Have you called the police?”
“How dare he try to kidnap a child in our restaurant? We have to teach him a lesson!”
The young man watched the commotion he had caused. He realized that he had made a rash
accusation just now.
“Sir, where is the man who had snatched your child?” The manager retracted his gaze that was initially
outside the restaurant and looked at him seriously.
If the boss learned about this scandal in their restaurant, he would most definitely be sacked!
So he had to deal with this matter carefully.

“There……”
The young man stretched his arm out and pointed towards the washroom. He blinked and quickly tried
to explain, “Wait, listen…”
“Sir, the child has already been snatched away. Why are you not anxious at all?” The manager looked
at him, puzzled.
Then, he frowned fiercely and waved at the others. “Follow me. Don’t let the child trafficker escape! I
knew that he wouldn’t have run far! It turns out that he is hiding in the washroom! Well, this child
trafficker is a little dull!”
The manager led three of his male servers and two chefs toward the washroom.
“Hey! Listen to me!” The young man frowned and chased after them.
Jacob gently put his daughter down at the entrance of the washroom. “Go in and look for your aunt.”
Heidi’s face was flushed red. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she pressed her stomach with
both hands and rushed into the toilet.
“Careful. Don’t trip and fall.” Jacob reminded his daughter carefully.
About half a minute later, Jacob suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
