Chapter 31-40

Chapter 31
Baby Zetty was taken aback by the man’s sudden actions. She clutched the money absently, completely bewildered.

“I don’t lack money,” added Jay testily, clearly implying that he had no need to traffic kids.

Zetty passed the money back to Jay, apologizing softly, “Sorry, mister. I won’t call you the trafficker man anymore. And I don’t want this money.”

Jay was surprised. Despite her young age, the child knew not to accept freebies that were possibly tainted.

Ever since Jay arrived, Rose found it difficult to breathe. “Zetty, this man is Mommy’s new boss,” she choked. “Go play over there. Mommy will talk to him.”

As soon as she was told the man’s identity, Zetty immediately started negotiating with Jay. “Mister, can you stop giving so much work to my mommy? My mommy’s so tired.”

Although he would never admit it, Jay could not help but feel a little jealous of Rose. This woman had such a caring daughter. How enviable.
