The CEO’s Billion Dollar Bride
Chapter 1185 - 1164: Someone is going to sacrifice themselves!

"Your daughter?"

Before Maya Sanders could speak, the man’s voice, low and tense, broke the silence, yet his gaze did not land on the little girl’s face but remained fixed on the woman’s face.

"Yes!"

Maya nodded her head, then glanced at the little girl held in her palm and said, "Tanya, this is Uncle Stones, Mommy’s friend. Say hello to Uncle Stones!"

"Hello, Uncle Stones!"

Friend?

So, she still considered him a friend?

Probably for the child’s sake, if he remembered correctly, she had said they would never meet again!

"Hello, Tanya!"

Though he simply returned her greeting, Graham Stones couldn’t help but extend his hand for a polite handshake, "Nice to meet you!"

"Uncle, you are really handsome!"

The delicate little hand lay in his palm, and the girl returned his gesture with a genuinely heartfelt smile, "You’re the first uncle I’ve seen who’s even more handsome than my daddy!"

"Really?"

Such great praise should have made him happy, but Graham couldn’t muster joy, "Well, thank you for the compliment, Tanya!"

"Tanya, who did you say is more handsome than Daddy?"

No sooner had Graham’s words fallen than a light laughter came from the doorway, and the next moment, a face appeared that Graham had never imagined; the man was somewhat scholarly, his features decent and seemed honest, clearly a reliable man!

He also matched the criteria Maya had wanted years ago in a man with whom to settle down!

But this face was also, perhaps... too old?

The skin a bit loose, as he walked in, the closer he got, the more Graham could see the fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. This face surely looked at least forty!

No wonder Tanya said he was more handsome than her daddy!

Normally, which daughter would say another man is more handsome than her own father, no matter how handsome the other was!

Now, it seemed the little girl was simply speaking the truth!

But why on earth would Maya marry such a man?

With her attributes, even considering her past relationships, she shouldn’t have settled for someone so old, when there were numerous men her own age willing to marry her, as many as the Atlantic Ocean!

"Daddy, Tanya was talking about this uncle, look, isn’t he more handsome than Daddy?"

It was the first time Justin Garrett had heard Tanya call another man handsome aside from himself, so he couldn’t help but take a few extra looks, indeed...

Refined, deep-set peach blossom eyes, distinctly outlined features, skin as fair as a woman, and a compelling aura exuded from his brow, clearly indicating this was no ordinary man, certainly a cut above the rest. But how could Maya have such a high-caliber friend?

He seemed not to have heard her mention him before!

"Tanya, good eye, indeed a more handsome uncle than Daddy!"

After speaking, Justin Garrett nodded at Graham, then bent down to pick Tanya up from the ground and spoke to Maya, "The movie is about to start, we should head over, or we’ll be late!"

"Okay!"

Maya agreed, then nodded at Graham as a farewell, and turned to follow the man holding the child!

Watching the woman’s figure receding further and further, Graham suddenly felt a surge of sorrow, now reduced to mere nods, not even willing to say goodbye anymore?

Did she really hate running into herself that much?

She probably wanted to never see her again!

So be it!

As long as she is happy, let’s not meet then!

What would she want from a meeting anyway?

Her kid is all grown up, a happy family all together!

Graham Stones habitually reached for a cigarette, only to realize his hand was empty, probably a punishment fit only for a loner like him!

After Moriya Sandy and Nicole Thompson finished the movie, it was already ten o’clock at night. Nicole, who always had a habit of eating late-night snacks, suddenly craved some food!

"Brother Sandy, I want to eat at the food stalls!"

Her delicate hand clutching Moriya Sandy, her head resting on his arm, she cooed like a little woman, "I want to eat at the food stalls near our school, will you join me?"

"But the food stalls are not hygienic. I know a late-night restaurant that tastes quite good. I’ll take you there; how about that?"

As a doctor, the moment he heard ’food stall,’ all he could think of were unsanitary scenes and all sorts of parasites, absolutely not wanting to risk his little woman’s health, "The taste there is definitely better than the food stalls, if you’re not satisfied, I can hurt myself!"

Nicole Thompson: "..."

"No, I want to go to the food stalls outside our school. All the couples from our school go there to eat!"

If you haven’t eaten at the food stalls, can you even call it a relationship?

"If you don’t want to join me, that’s fine. I just need to stand there, and there are plenty of boys from our school who would accompany me!"

Students in love should act like students, eating at food stalls, walking on the playground, watching movies, holding hands. Who keeps going to high-end restaurants? What kind of youth is that?

That’s just showing off, you know!

When looking back in the future, if all memories are the same, they’re not interesting!

That’s why she wanted Brother Sandy to join her at the food stalls outside the school!

And he had no choice in the matter!

"Okay, okay, I’ll go with you! If you want to eat pesticide, I’ll accompany you to eat that too!"

If other men from the school got to accompany her, what were all his years of waiting for, "From now on, don’t ever think about such things again; otherwise, I’ll wipe out every other man in the world!"

Nicole Thompson: "..."

Why so bandit-like!

Is this how imposing a jealous man is supposed to be?

"Killing people is illegal!"

"John, I have ten thousand ways to make murder look like suicide, I’m a doctor, you know. So, you better cut out any thoughts of letting another man accompany you!"

Then he leaned down and gently planted a kiss on her forehead, "Nicole, I’ve watched you grow up, stood by you all the way, not to hand you over to another man!"

"You are Moriya Sandy’s! This life, the next life, and for eternity, you, Nicole Thompson, are contracted to me, Moriya Sandy!"

This life, the next life, for eternity!

Nicole Thompson was stunned, her playful smile paused deeply, likely because young girls like listening to such deep and cheesy romantic declarations, Nicole Thompson was no exception, feeling her heart filled to the brim and then finely trembling with emotion.

"Brother Sandy, with those words, I, Nicole Thompson, am ready to give myself to you today!"

After finishing, she realized something was amiss, then added, "Provided you bestow upon me two bottles of beer, I need to build some courage!"
