Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy novel Chapter 188

“Of course…”

“No!”

“No!”

Before Lingo could finish her words, Lyla and Mark opened their mouths in unison. Then, they looked at each other.

Gretel turned and looked at them pitifully. “Why not?”

Lyla said, “Lingo is there for work. What are you going there for? Besides, you’ll only drag her down if you follow!”

“But…”

“What if something happens?” Mark said.

“Lingo will protect me!”

“She’s there to risk her life, not to play. You can’t go!”

Gretel, “...”

She looked to Lingo for help, but Lingo also shrugged helplessly.

However, Gretel really wanted to go. “Is it very dangerous?”

“Well, it’s not bad!”

Gretel turned to Lyla. “Mummy, I really want to go!”

“Ask your Daddy!”

Gretel turned to Mark. “Daddy!”

“Gretel, you’re my baby girl. I plan to raise you like a princess, so I don’t want you involved in these dangerous things!” Mark said.

Listening to his words, the corners of Lingo’s mouth hooked up in a contemptuous smile. “She’s a member of Hell’s Angels Alliance, but you’re still treating her like a princess. She’ll only follow in my footsteps in the future!”

“So what if she’s a member of Hell’s Angels Alliance? It’s only temporary. She’ll leave soon!”

“Hansel and she have been exposed, and there’ll be many people searching for their information. Do you think it’s that easy to leave?” Lingo retorted.

Mark pursed his lips. He forgot about that.

He did not care about Hansel, but Gretel...

“Mark Pattinson, you’re also in this business, so you should know the rules. It’s easy to join, but difficult to leave!” Lingo said.

Mark pursed his lips. “I’ll protect her even if I have to use all my strength!”

“I’m just afraid that the outside world will become more vicious if they know she’s your daughter!”

Mark, “...”

Although Lingo’s words were very disdainful, he had to admit that what she said was reasonable.

Even Lyla, an outsider, could hear that Lingo’s words made a lot of sense.

“Now what? Is there a way?”

“Sure.”

“What is it?”

“Receive training as I did. When you’ve stepped on everyone underfoot, it means you’ve won!” Lingo said.

Lyla, “...”

They were back at square one. Lyla and Mark wanted Gretel to quit because they were afraid of her suffering. How could they let her receive training?

“Is there any other way besides this?”

“There is!”

“What is it?”

“Twenty-four-hour protection and don’t go out for the rest of her life. That’s the safest!”

Lyla, “...”

Mark pursed his lips and did not speak. He was thinking about what Lingo said. Although he knew that both Hansel and Gretel had joined Hell’s Angels Alliance, he always thought that Gretel could get out in one piece. However, now that Lingo mentioned it, she was right. Gretel was not just a member of Hell’s Angels Alliance. She was also his daughter.

Therefore, her risk factor was doubled.

Looking at Mark’s silence, Gretel secretly raised a thumbs up towards Lingo.

“Daddy, Mummy, you can respect Hansel’s wishes, so why can’t you respect mine? Is it because I’m a girl? Are you two also sexist?” Gretel looked at them and asked.

“It’s because we’re worried about you!”

“Then, aren’t you guys worried about Hansel?”

“Of course we’re worried. It’s just…” Just what? Lyla could not say anything. Gretel was right. She was being restricted because she was a girl.

“If Hansel can do it, so can I. This world is no longer a man’s world!” Gretel said.

With the two’s unique thoughts, a few simple sentences were enough to convince Lyla.

However, she was still a little hesitant and worried.

At that time, Gretel looked at Lingo. “When did you start to receive training?”

Lingo thought about Gretel’s question. “When I was three, I think?”

Mark and Gretel immediately separated when they heard her and looked at Lyla in unison.

Gretel looked a little scared at Lyla’s deadpan expression. “Mummy…”

“When you two made this decision, did you ask for my opinion and thoughts?”

“Mummy!”

Mark looked at her. “Actually…”

Lyla did not say anything and suddenly got up and walked upstairs. This series of actions illustrated a fact.

Lyla was angry!!!

Gretel and Mark looked at each other.

No matter how bold Gretel was, she still looked anxious that Lyla was angry. “Daddy, what do we do? Mummy is angry!”

Mark also did not expect Lyla to have such a big reaction. Previously, when Hansel said the truth of the matter, Lyla was able to agree easily. He thought that she should be able to accept it this time as well, but he did not expect this...

“Don’t worry, I’ll go up and take a look!” Mark patted Gretel and got up before heading upstairs.

“Lingo!” Gretel threw herself into Lingo’s arms in grievance again.

“Come on, don’t be unreasonable. Your Mummy is just worried about you. A child who has a mother’s love is blessed. You should be content!”

“But I don’t want to give up what I want to do!”

“Well… That’ll depend on whether your Daddy can appease your Mummy!” Lingo patted Gretel’s back lovingly, comforting her.

Everything had been going well. Gretel did not expect it to suddenly turn out like this…

……

Upstairs.

When Mark went up, Lyla was standing in front of the French windows with her back turned to him.

He looked at her and walked over softly. “What’s wrong? Are you really angry?”

Lyla did not say anything, and Mark hugged her from behind. “I know you’re worried, but can’t you see? Hansel and Gretel aren’t ordinary. They have to live a life that’s not ordinary. If you forcefully keep them by your side like this, no one will be happy!”

Lyla still did not speak.

Mark frowned and twisted his head to look at her. “What’s wrong? Are you crying?”

Lyla turned around and burrowed into Mark’s arms. “Why did you agree? Do you know how dangerous it is? Mark, I’m scared. I’m really scared!”

He had known Lyla for so long, but he had never seen her like this. Mark’s heart immediately softened and he hugged her, comforting her. “I know that you’re worried. I’m worried too, but we can’t keep holding them back just because of that!

“It’s not like I don’t want them to stay by our side either, but they’ve come this far and have already explained themselves. It might not be a good thing even if they stay behind, so why not let go and let them try?”
