The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Bringing in a nice fragrance, Moira walked to Jacob angrily. "Why didn't you pick up my calls?"

He arched his eyebrows at her. "My phone broke."

I guess that's true. When the attack helicopter launched the first missile, I didn't have time to take my phone with me. I guess it's buried somewhere in the scraps.

"It's broken?" Moira gritted her teeth. Huffing out a sigh of exasperation, she stretched out her arms. "Give me Heidi."

Jacob narrowed his eyes at her sharply. "No."

Moira's chest heaved angrily. "You don't have the right to say no! Heidi's guardian is my aunt!"

"I don't have the right?" He looked at her grimly. "I'm her father."

"Her father?" Moira snorted disdainfully. "When Naeve was suffering back then, where were you? When she was in the hospital, where were you? When Heidi was being mocked as a parentless b*stard, where were you?"

A bitter expression overtook his face upon hearing that. He fell silent for a while before replying with an intense gaze, "It was my fault back then. If I had returned earlier, Naeve might not have died." In a firm tone, he continued, "But I will talk with her parents about being Heidi's guardian."

"You're trying to take her away from us!" Moira screeched angrily. "Without my aunt's approval, don't you dare think about taking her away from us!"

Looking at her face, which was slightly similar to his late girlfriend, he asked quietly, "What would happen if I wasn't with Heidi tonight?"

She arched her eyebrows and gritted her teeth before explaining, "Today was just an accident. Apart from that, those criminals just wanted money. They wouldn't have hurt us."

Jacob shook his head. "My daughter can't afford to have any accidents."

"Y-Y-You are being unreasonable!" Moira was enraged to hear that.

With Heidi still in his arms, he continued to walk forward. "You can call Naeve's parents now."

"I–" Moira flushed red.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around and complained to Travis, "Sir, that guy is taking our kid from us!"

However, he arched his brows and turned away from her. Young lady, we still have dozens of bodies to handle at the hotel. Could you not give me any further trouble?

Realizing that her complaints had fallen on deaf ears, she stomped her feet on the ground.

"You'ra trying to taka har away from us!" Moira scraachad angrily. "Without my aunt's approval, don't you dara think about taking har away from us!"
