Zayn was speechless. Excuse me, but I'm your actual grandchild!
In silence, Zayn let go of her.
"Ah!" Venus shrieked as she nearly plummeted to the ground.
However, her fishtail skirt was still stuck on Zayn's sleeve, so she did not.
Right then, Venus grabbed Zayn's arm in a death grip as her legs curled around his arm as well.It was an adorable sight.
Zayn could not help but smile in amusement. This silly look of hers really resembled Carla's.
He then grabbed Venus up to put her on his shoulders. In fact, he even made sure she was secure in case she fell.
Nevertheless, his worry was for naught as Venus gripped his hair in fear of falling herself.
Frowning, Zayn grimaced. "Why are you pulling my hair?"
"I-I'm scared of heights, " Venus mumbled in a high-pitched, trembling voice.
"Brat, what's wrong with letting the girl pull your hair a little?" Jombo hissed when he heard Venus's sobs. "I mean you're not exactly short either! Of course, she'll be scared of heights."
Zayn's grimace deepened as he shot Venus a glacial look.
Immediately, Venus's lips turned into a frown as crystalline tears escaped her eyes. Then, she wailed.
Right then, Carla, who had disguised herself as a janitor, sneaked into the restaurant. When she heard Carla's sobs, she lifted her head.
What greeted her was the sight of Venus on Zayn's shoulders as Zayn glared at her.
Instantly, a thought popped into Carla's mind – The Devil was bullying her Venus.
Agitated, Carla rushed over with a broom.
"Venus!" When Randy saw his sister crying, he dashed forward to roar at Zayn. "Let go of my sister!"
"Meanie, let go of Venus!"
Josh wheeled himself over as he swung his fist angrily at Zayn.
"Brat, you scared her."
Jombo was anxious, and he tried to take Venus back into his arms. However, his back started to ache again.
"Mr. Giblo, don't get angry." Thompson quickly supported him again.
"You're ninety-six. Stop trying to force yourself to do the impossible."
For Jombo, Zayn stopped resisting and let Venus grab his hair. After coldly giving a glance at Randy and Josh, he headed to the tables.
That was where Carla was, and with a jump, Carla swiftly changed directions and escaped.
"Hey, let go of my sister!" Randy shouted from behind him.
"Randy. Venus." Josh wheeled himself as quickly as possible, trying to catch up with them.
"Don't worry. I'm here. He won't do anything to her, " Jombo consoled. Then, he yelled at Thompson. "Why are you still standing there? Help me over."
"Understood, Mr. Giblo." He then helped Jombo catch up with Zayn.
Meanwhile, one of the bodyguards pushed Josh's wheelchair.
When Zayn reached the table by the tall windows, he reached out, trying to get Venus down. However, as Venus was terrified, she refused to let go of his hair.
The more he tried to pull her off, the harder she tugged her hair. Her plump little body was trembling non-stop.
"Aren't you going to come down?" Zayn asked with his brows lifted.
At that, Venus's face scrunched up, and she nearly burst into tears again.
"Don't cry. Don't, " Zayn hastily coaxed. "You can stay up there if you want to."
It was only then Venus's tears stopped streaming down her cheeks. Her frown, however, remained, and her eyes were still watery.
By now, sweat was beading on Zayn's forehead as he found himself at a loss for words. What kind of creature is she? I can't reprimand her, and she cries at anything I say.
Am I seriously that scary?
