Chapter 196 She Will Throw a Tantrum at Me
Donovan held Finley’s hand and looked at Riley with a cold expression not far away. He spoke somewhat sarcastically, "Even if we were strangers, Ms. Monroe doesn't need to avoid me like this. I was already planning to take Finley to kindergarten, and from kindergarten to the Wilder Group, we pass by your research institute. That's why I suggested giving you a ride. I don't know what you are concerned about this time."
The implication was that Riley's actions were somewhat self-centered.
Finley also wanted to spend more time with Riley. Hearing this, her big eyes looked at Riley eagerly. "Auntie..."
Riley couldn't help but soften.
Moreover, Donovan's words left her with no rebuttal.
They were just not in a relationship. Her repeated refusals of these harmless little things made her seem a bit narrow-minded.
Thinking of this, Riley finally agreed and said to Sophie, "You can go back now. I'll take them over."
Sophie agreed and handed the two kids to Riley.
The two kids still held a grudge against Donovan. Knowing they had to ride in his car again, they hesitated.
However, Finley had already let go of her daddy's hand, came over, and grabbed Riley's skirt, clearly wanting to sit next to her.
Riley patted Finley's head and said to the boys, "Get in."
Hearing their mommy's words, they slowly climbed into the car.
Riley then got in with Finley, sitting in the back seat with her.
Donovan closed the car door for them and got into the passenger seat.
The car slowly started and headed towards the kindergarten.
The car was silent. Riley had nothing to say to Donovan, and the kids were inexplicably quiet.
The atmosphere was very dull all the way.
As the car gradually drove away, the camera flashes in the bushes at the hospital entrance kept flickering.
By the time they reached the kindergarten, it was almost nine o'clock.
Riley got out to take the kids to the kindergarten entrance.
Because they were indeed very late, the kindergarten gate was already closed.
Riley called Zoey to explain the situation. Soon, Zoey came out and took the kids inside.
Watching them disappear from sight, Riley hesitated and turned around.
By the roadside, Donovan's car was still quietly parked, waiting for her to come over.
According to what was said earlier, Donovan would give her a ride to the vicinity of the research institute.
However, without the kids around, Riley really didn't know how to stay in such a small space with him.
The kindergarten was also very close to the research institute. One of the reasons she chose this kindergarten was because it was close to the research institute, making it convenient for her to pick up and drop off the kids.
If she walked, it would only take about half an hour.
Just as Riley hesitated about whether to walk over, the car window slowly rolled down, and Donovan's slightly impatient profile appeared in her sight.
Riley couldn't help but be stunned.
"Aren't you in a hurry to get to the research institute? Why aren't you getting in the car?" Donovan guessed Riley's thoughts, feeling displeased, and his tone wasn't very good.
Hearing this, Riley couldn't help but press her lips together. After a moment, she forced a polite smile and said, "It's very close to the research institute. I can walk there myself."
Donovan suppressed his displeasure and coldly responded, "If Finley finds out I made you walk, she'll throw a tantrum at me when I get back."
Riley was slightly taken aback.
'As long as the two of us didn't say anything, how would Finley know?' she thought to herself.
However, seeing Donovan's stance that he wouldn't leave unless she got in the car, she hesitated for a moment and then got into the back seat.
