Chapter 951
Denise used to visit the Yoder Group frequently in the past, so Rayan prepared some age–appropriate toys for her. When Maxim was busy with work, she would quietly play with the toys on the side.
“Alright.”
Rayan brought over the toy, and after seeing Denise start to play with it intently, he went out to handle his work.
Playing and playing, Denise eventually fell asleep on the carpet.
Maxim glanced over, got up and walked over to her, lifting her up and placing her on the sofa. He then asked Rayan to bring over a blanket.
After covering her, Maxim then turned to Rayan and whispered, “How is it? Have you contacted Kiley?”
Rayan shook his head, “The phone did go through, but no one answered.”
Maxim’s gaze turned icy, he said coldly, “No need to contact anymore, if you still can’t see anyone when you get off work tonight, send the child directly to Isaac.”
“Alright.”
After Rayan left, Maxim unconsciously glanced at Denise, feeling a bit heartbroken.

Such a well–behaved child, how did he end up with parents like Kiley and Isaac who didn’t have a shred of responsibility?
Had he known she would suffer so much, he would not have agreed when Kiley initially said she wanted to have the child.
Evening came in a flash, and Kiley still hadn’t taken the initiative to contact Maxim.
In the afternoon, Briana Cameron called Maxim, saying that there was a dinner party in the evening and he didn’t need to pick her up, so Maxim was still at work.
Denise was awakened by hunger. She opened her eyes to find herself in Maxim’s office, and it took her a while to remember that her mother had sent her to her uncle’s place today.
She sat up, her chubby little hands rubbing her eyes.
“Uncle, I was hungry.”
Looking at her just–awakened and still bewildered expression, Maxim said softly, “I haven’t eaten the dessert you brought over at noon. Come and have some dessert.”
Upon hearing the word “dessert“, Denise immediately perked up and quickly shook her head, “No, that’s for Uncle to eat.”
“It’s okay, uncle wasn’t hungry.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, it was meant for Uncle to eat.”
She jumped off the couch, ran to the table with her short legs, and pushed the dessert in front of Maxim.
“Uncle, you eat, it’s very delicious. Denise has already eaten one. This one is for uncle.”

Seeing the anticipation in her eyes, Maxim put down the documents in his hand, took a couple of bites of the dessert, and nodded, saying, “Mmm, it’s good.”
Hearing this, Denise laughed, her eyes curving into crescents, “Then Uncle, you should eat more.”
“Good.”
Maxim ate half, then handed the remaining half to Denise, “Denise, you eat it, Uncle is full.”
“Really?”
Desire filled Denise’s eyes, but remembering her mother’s words to let her uncle finish the dessert, she quickly refused.
“No need, I’m not hungry, Uncle, you eat…”
Saying this, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Watching her salivate, Maxim couldn’t help but chuckle, “Uncle really is full, you go ahead and eat.”
After hesitating for a moment, she still couldn’t resist the temptation and took the dessert that Maxim had handed over, finishing it in a few bites.
“Delicious!”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to have dinner, and I’ll take you home after we finish.”
Denise hesitated, “But… Mom said she would come to pick me up tonight…”
Maxim’s eyes darkened a bit, he said softly, “I can’t get in
touch with your mom. After dinner, can I take you to your dad’s?”
