Chapter 1136: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

Grape woke up in the early morning, her bright eyes darting around. When she saw Nelson, she smiled shyly. He seemed to have stayed up all night, but he smiled back when he saw her awake. Grape immediately got up and quietly walked over to Nelson, lying in his arms and softly calling, "Daddy." Nelson gently stroked her hair, "Hmm? Still sleepy?" Grape nodded. "Let's sleep a little longer together." She nodded again. Nelson held the little one in his arms, intending to lull her to sleep, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep himself. When Callie woke up and didn't feel anyone beside her, she was startled. Sitting up, she saw this scene: a tall man curled up on the sofa, holding a child in his arms. The morning light danced on their faces, so similar and tender. She was momentarily stunned, unsure how to describe the scene. It was crazy; she actually felt warmth. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang—it was Nelson's. He immediately opened his eyes and exchanged a glance with Callie.
