The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 672

Patricia just froze for a moment and quickly let go of the hand holding the child. Keeping her cool, she quietly covered the red marks on Baber with her clothes, then cradled him like a loving mother, soothing him.

“Don’t cry, mommy’s here! Baber, don’t cry, it’s all okay now!”

Baber’s cries quieted down a bit at his mother’s sudden change in demeanor, but he was still utterly confused…

Balfour came over, his eyes filled with puzzlement, ‘Patri, what’s up? Why is the kid crying so much?”

Patricia looked up, her face innocent, “Oh, bro, you’re back! Nothing much, Baber just look a tumble, I’m comforting him!”

Balfour’s frown finally eased. He gently patted Baber’s head, “Boys gotta be tough, can’t be crying over small bumps in the road!”

Baber, tears streaking down his face, looked up at Balfour, but couldn’t express what had happened with his limited vocabulary. He just felt wronged, pulling a face.

Suddenly, he felt a pinch from his mom again, and he turned his scared eyes back to Patricia….

Seeing the warning in his mother’s eyes, he didn’t dare to cry or react.
