Ethan pulled his gaze back from the distance, lowering his head to look at the little girl hugging his leg.
Nina had a long trail of snot dangling from her nose, getting longer and thicker with each sniffle.
Ethan frowned, about to wipe her nose with a tissue when he saw her using his pants instead.
Irritated, Ethan tried to shake her off.
But she just plopped down on top of his shoe, clinging tightly to his leg and refusing to let go.
"Uncle Ethan, swing!" She demanded.
Rolling his eyes, Ethan looked towards George, who was grinning indulgently. "Get her away from me!"
George shrugged. "I need to get someone to clean up your house, so I'm leaving Nina with you."
With those words, George casually left the villa. Spotting Eleanor about to get in a car, he quickly called out to her.
"Ms. Shultz."
Eleanor figured George must need something from her, so she asked Bernard to wait a bit longer.
Mr. Law, for the first time, was taking his time, but he didn't seem to mind. He nodded and went to fetch an umbrella from the trunk.
