Valentine Teller froze for a second, then smiled.
If possible, she should strive in that direction and get along well with him. He's a nice man.
Thinking about returning Nian Nian to her family soon, Valentine couldn't help but complain, "Nian Nian's parents are really irresponsible. How could they lose their own child like that? What if she were taken by traffickers? It's too much!"
"Yes, it's fortunate we found her, or the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Turstin Muller leaned down and kissed Nian Nian's fragrant cheek, his words thick with reluctance.
