Chapter 609
“No, please!” Luca quivered with fear.
“I know I messed up.
Please, don’t tell my mom!”
However, Caleb was stubborn and folded his arms over his chest.
“I must teach you a valuable lesson, or else you might repeat this and lead poor Elena astray.
”
“I promise, I won’t ever do it again!”
Luca’s distress was so overwhelming that tears threatened to spill from his red-rimmed eyes, He had no choice but to cast a pitiful gaze in my direction.
“I’m truly sorry.
I was really just curious.
”
He pleaded, waving his hand feebly in the air.
“Please believe me.
I really didn’t mean to mislead Elena.
”
I had no option but to pull Luca behind me, urging, “Don’t frighten him, Caleb.
He’s just a child.
”
“Just because he’s a child doesn’t mean we can let him off so easily.
This kind of behavior is unacceptable.
” Caleb expressed his discontent, his brows furrowing.
Narrowing my eyes at him, I quickly retorted, “Didn’t you make mistakes out of curiosity when you were a young boy?”
Caleb argued, “But I’m different from him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Seriously? Could you control yourself? Can you kindly refrain from spewing Lies in front of the children?”

Caleb’s stubbornness withered as he considered my words.

Sensing the tension, Luca made a face at Caleb before darting away.
Dust practically flew from his shoes
Caleb looked sullen; his eyes drooped dejectedly
With an air of indifference, I remarked, “There’s no use arguing with a little boy.
It’s about time we head home.
”
Caleb reluctantly conceded, realizing he had no choice but to admit defeat.
As I made my way home, all the vendors greeted me warmly.
“Debra, good afternoon!”
“Debra, hi.
Are you taking your daughter home? Take care of yourself.
”
I was taken aback and delighted by their response.
Although these vendors had greeted me in passing before, it was mostly when I accompanied Riley to the market.
I had never witnessed such warmth directed solely at me.
“Hello, Debra!” Sonya beamed a sunny smile at me, her face adorned with charming dimples.
“This is for you!”
