Chapter 688 More Important Than My Child

“Lia, I’ll play with you in a few hours when I’m done with work,” Axel promised.

Liora walked over to the laptop and sighed, perplexed by what she saw on the screen.

“I can’t play with you as much now. It’s important to spend more time with me,” Liora said.

Puzzled, Axel asked, “Why don’t you have time?”

Tyler turned and asked with a raised eyebrow, “Isn’t it a good thing that the naughty kid isn’t going to bother us anymore?”

Liora’s eyes widened in shock. “Bad Tyler! Do you even realize what

nonsense you’re talking about?”

Tyler shrugged. “Where will you go if you don’t have much time? You’ll still be coming home every day,

right?

Liora sat cross–legged on the floor, fuming. “Mommy told me she’s enrolling me in an arts class soon!”

“Arts class? That suits Liora, Axel remarked.

Tyler taunted, “She’s tone deaf.”

Axel defended, “But she can draw.”

Tyler teased, “Her cat drawings look more like abstract art.”

Axel countered, “She can learn a musical instrument.”

Tyler chuckled. “Her sense of rhythm is questionable.”

“What about dancing?” Axel asked.

“She’s not very coordinated,” Tyler replied.

Axel had no more comebacks.

Liora clenched her fists. “Tyler! I’m going to get you for this!”

Liora ran at Tyler and threw a punch, but he blocked it without getting angry.

“Okay, we’re really busy right now. I’ll get you an ice cream when we’re done,” Tyler promised.

Breathing heavily, Liora said, “You’re busy, right? You’re not playing something else without me, are you?”

Axel explained, “Yes, Lia. We’re working on something important.”

Liora slumped. “Alright then…”

She left after one last look at her brothers engrossed in the laptop.

She hurried downstairs to the yard and tapped the voice recording feature on the phone Evan had given

her.

“My brothers won’t play with me,” she recorded and sent it to Evan.

Evan was in a meeting with Casey. He was initially serious but became gentle upon receiving Liora’s

message. His phone ringing agitated him.

After listening to Liora’s soft, tearful voice, Evan felt sad. He realized his daughter was lonely.

“What are the two kids doing? he wondered.

Evan’s expression darkened as he replied.

Evan: [Don’t cry, Lia. I’ll take you out. Wait for me ]

When Liora received his message, she glanced back at the villa. Her brothers paid no attention to her, and Eira was occupied. She tapped the voice recording button and said, “Sure!”

Evan prepared to leave, shocking the executives. “The meeting isn’t over, Mr. Jordan!”

Evan paused briefly. “Is the meeting more important than my child?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He left quickly, leaving the executives shaking their heads. They turned to Casey, who had been sitting quietly.

“Mr. Casey, you should familiarize yourself with the business soon. We can’t have Mr. Evan leaving meetings prematurely all the time.”

Casey smiled. “Evan controls all our major clients‘ information. It won’t be easy for me to get it.”

“Mr. Casey, talk to your father soon. Our company will be in jeopardy if this continues.”

Casey nodded. “I’ll discuss it with my father.”
