Chapter 136 Nina’s Little Schemes
She had overheard everything!
Alice, directly called “poor” by Nina, looked a little embarrassed.
Her little face turned red as she instinctively signed, “Who told you Alice is poor?”
She was poor, yes, but Nina was so little-there was no reason for her to suddenly say that.
After Alice asked, Nina’s tiny, crisp voice replied, “Un-cop Dan’el!”
Alice immediately tensed.
Daniel, whose heart had been in his throat since Nina started the call, finally felt it sink.
He closed his eyes, not rushing out to defend himself.
He knew perfectly well that if he intervened now, Alice would hang up immediately.
At least for now, Alice hadn’t hung up.
She just fell silent too, pausing her signed conversation.
Both Alice on video and Daniel off video stayed quiet, but Nina remained unaffected.
Holding her toy, she turned to Alice and said, “Alice, no toy.”
She meant Alice was poor, so she didn’t want Alice to buy toys.
“Un-coo Dan’el buy!”
She wanted Daniel to buy it.
Alice frowned at Nina’s words, sighing, “Your uncle is a really strange person.”

Recently, Daniel had been messaging her from different numbers, promising he wouldn’t scold or bully her
anymore.
He had even said it was all a misunderstanding before.
He had even mentioned things from when they were kis.
Alice had seen all those messages.
Looking at the words, they seemed sincere.
Recently, Daniel used a number she hadn’t blocked.
But she didn’t expect him to secretly call her poor.
Yes, she was poor-but she didn’t want people commenting on it.
Frustrated, Alice decided that once the call ended, she would block Daniel’s new number, too.
“Nina, I can’t chat anymore. I have to get busy.”

Chapter 136 Nina’s Little Schemes
Alice had to work several jobs in a day, and she glanced behind her at the small bar.
“The manager is calling me to work.”
After signing off, she hung up.
Finished
Seeing the call end, Nina twisted and went over to her uncle.
Daniel was lying on the play mat on the floor, pretending to be dead.
Nina quickly crawled over and immediately started poking his face.
“Un-coo Dan’el, all done! Train! Un-coo Dan’el buy!”
Nina was still thinking about her little train. Daniel’s body was on the mat, but he was in a bad mood.
“Nina, give me a moment. I wanna die.”
The moment Daniel said he wanted to die, Nina panicked.
Seeing her uncle with his eyes closed, her chubby little hands went straight to his eyes.
“No! Un-coo Dan’el no die! No die!”
While poking at Daniel’s eyes, she pouted, and her baby voice trembled with a hint of crying.
Daniel wiped his face, helplessly opened his eyes, and lifted Nina onto his chest to sit.
“Okay, okay, don’t cry. I’m not dying. I’m just playing with you.”
Daniel realized that once people started taking care of a child-especially a tiny little baby like this-they literally didn’t have time to die.
Though Nina had just “tricked” him, she had no idea shed done it.
She wasn’t trying to trick him on purpose.
She even cared for him, not wanting him to die.
For a Nina like this, Daniel had no choice but to spoil and indulge her.
“Go get my phone; it’s under the coffee table. I’ll buy you the little train.”
Daniel sent Nina to fetch the phone he had hidden.
The moment she heard it was to buy a little train, she hurriedly climbed down from his chest and went to get it.
Soon, the phone was retrieved, and Daniel efficiently purchased a full set of the latest model toy trains.
This set was from a famous toy brand.
The price? Twelve thousand dollars.
By comparison, Amelia usually bought Nina all sorts of ar toys online at very affordable prices.
