Chapter 17

Cassandra's POV

"What does he take me for? A fool?" I muttered with disgust as I got into my apartment.

I was still pondering over the meeting with that Mr Liam Bradwick outside the restaurant and how he was such a fake. There were probably many people like him out there on the street deceiving lots of innocent people, especially the jobless ones.

I was in the process of wearing the children their diapers after bathing them when Mason started laughing out of nowhere. I guess that his laps were becoming a tickly spot for him.

I checked Justin's lap too but he didn't budge and stared at me with a blank face. I moved to Robin but he was even worse as he started crying.

"No, no, no, don't cry," I panicked as I quickly picked him up. "I only wanted to know where your soft spot was," I groaned. "We can't stay up all night like this, come on and don't cry, please!"

I ended up spending almost an hour trying to pacify him and when he finally stopped crying, it was because he had fallen asleep.
