Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her Brayden was slightly taken aback. He heard someone calling Yakira's name. Just as he turned his head, Patricia called out, "Bray, look. Polly is having so much fun." Brayden's thoughts were pulled back, and he looked in Polly's direction. Minnie immediately caught his attention. Why did that child look so familiar? The sound of crying came. "Polly" Patricia got up and strode over. Polly was standing there, crying her eyes out. Minnie stood beside her. Patricia went over, took Polly's hand, and said with concern, "Polly, what's wrong?" "She bullied me," Polly pointed at Minnie and accused. Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her Minnie immediately retorted, "I didn't. She pushed me first." "What's going on?" Brayden came over. Minnie was slightly stunned and looked at Brayden. Polly threw herself into Brayden's arms and cried, "Uncle Brayden, she bullied me." Bray's gaze fell on Minnie. "Uncle Brayden, look. My hand hurts." Polly coquettishly held out her hand to Brayden. It was indeed red in one spot. Brayden took a look, and his gaze fell on Minnie again. "Why did you bully Polly?" "I didn't. She pushed me first," Minnie retorted angrily. "Dad is actually siding with an outsider," she thought. Brayden frowned, looking displeased. This little girl really had a short temper. When Yakira heard Minnie's voice, she looked up. Seeing Brayden and Patricia there, she instantly darkened her face. Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her She got up and strode over. "Minnie." Minnie, who hadn't felt very wronged before, started crying as soon as she saw Yakira. "Mommy!" Minnie threw herself into Yakira's arms and burst into tears. Yakira held her, feeling heartbroken. "Minnie, don't cry. I'm here." The moment Brayden saw Yakira, it suddenly hit him. He had wondered why the kid looked so familiar. It turned out that she was Yakira's daughter. "Brayden, do you really have to bully a child?" Yakira glared at him. He hated her, but what did Minnie have to do with it? Patricia interjected, "Ms. Wilkinson, you're mistaken. Your daughter bullied Polly. We came over because we heard the child crying and just wanted to know why!" Yakira then noticed the little girl in Brayden's arms. She frowned. She finally recalled the child she saw at Herschel's law firm that Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her day. Although she didn't see the face clearly, she was sure it was a boy. So he had both a son and a daughter. If that were the case, would he stop fighting her for Abel and Minnie? "Minnie, did you bully this little girl?" Yakira asked softly. Minnie shook her head. "No. She pushed me first, and then she hurt her hand on the slide." "How can you lie?" Patricia was displeased. Yakira looked at her coldly. "Ms. McDowell, why would my daughter be lying?" "My daughter's hand is hurt. Do you think she would deliberately hurt herself to frame your daughter?" Patricia retorted. Then her gaze fell on Brayden. "Bray, you know Polly best. She gets along with everyone. She never has conflicts with other kids and doesn't lie. She definitely wouldn't hurt herself just to accuse another kid," said Patricia. Yakira looked at Brayden. From his eyes, she could see that he Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her trusted Patricia. Her chest tightened slightly. As expected, if Brayden didn't love or trust her, he wouldn't love or trust her child either. Patricia glanced at Yakira, acting all gracious. "Ms. Wilkinson, it's typical for kids to have tiffs. We're not trying to make a big deal out of it. If your daughter just apologizes to Polly, we can let it go." "No apology. Minnie just said she didn't bully your daughter and didn't hurt her," Yakira said firmly. Patricia was angry. "Ms. Wilkinson, you're spoiling your daughter." "How I raise my daughter is none of your business, Ms. McDowell. If my daughter insists she didn't do it, then she is telling the truth," Yakira said, standing her ground. "Minnie, let's go home." Yakira took Minnie's hand and was about to leave, Seeing this, Polly burst into tears. She sobbed, "Uncle Brayden, didn't you say that when people do Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her something wrong, they have to apologize? Why won't she apologize?" Yakira thought, "Uncle? Did she just call Brayden 'Uncle Brayden'? Isn't she his daughter? Did Patricia have this child with someone else? Or maybe they're not married yet, so they have the kid call him that to avoid people calling the child illegitimate?" Yakira was astonished and looked at Brayden. Brayden's gaze also shifted from Polly to her. "Make her apologize to Polly!"" Hearing this, Yakira felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. "Bray, what did you say?" Brayden repeated, "When a kid does something wrong, they should apologize. Make her apologize to Polly!" Yakira's chest tightened. Minnie was sad to see her dad siding with an outsider like this. Sure enough, Brayden didn't love her. "What if I don't?" Yakira retorted coldly. She thought, "Brayden, that's your daughter. You're actually Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her siding with someone else's kid. You don't believe your daughter and make her apologize." Brayden's face fell. "Yakira, I don't want to make a big deal out of a kids' matter. If she just apologizes, this will be over. Do you really have to make it awkward?" Yakira sneered. Her heart felt like it was being torn into pieces. "Fine. If you say Minnie bullied her, then let's check the surveillance. The surveillance here has 360-degree coverage. Let's see if Minnie actually bullied her. If she did, I'll kneel and apologize. If she didn't, Brayden, you apologize to me and Minnie," Yakira snapped. The restaurant worried that if a fight happened between the kids and it got messy, it could cause trouble for them. So this place was equipped with cameras. Checking the footage would clear things up. Brayden's expression darkened. "Yakira, do you really have to make things this awkward?" "What? Are you afraid to check?" Yakira asked mockingly. Chapter 26 Brayden Doesn't Love Her At that moment, Patricia spoke up, "Bray, I think we should just let it go. There's no need to make such a fuss. "Polly, I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose. Let's not hold it against her, okay?" Polly nodded obediently. "Ms. Wilkinson, we won't pursue this matter today. You can leave," Patricia said, acting all gracious but with a hint of superiority. Yakira scoffed, "What do you mean you're not holding it against us? Who is going to make up for the injustice my daughter has been through?" She wouldn't be so picky about other stuff. But when it came to her child, she would never back down. "Yakira, don't be ungrateful," Brayden snapped. "So I'm ungrateful just for asking to check the surveillance? What's wrong? Mr. Blanchard, are you afraid to check?" Yakira clenched her fists tightly, trying to control her emotions. Brayden said angrily, "Fine. Since you want to check, then go ahead. Let's review the surveillance."
