Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Uncle Daddy, someone bullied me..."

Yvette threw herself into Elijah's arms and bawled as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"A big bird ate Dree. Bree's gone. Boohoo... Someone bullied me. Uncle Daddy, Daddy, beat him. Ask him to give me Bree back. Give me back..."

Standing back up, Willy was stumped when he turned his gaze over to his side. Elijah?

This little girl couldn't be Lauren's child, could she?!

Just as the exciting thought came to him, a wet blanket doused his inchoate enthusiasm as he heard the little girl call Elijah 'Daddy'! He had wanted to ask, but his suspicion was dispelled right then, giving up asking as he nearly instantly concluded she was his illegitimate child of sorts!

Only then did he recall seeing him holding a little girl in his arms during a car exhibition. He said she was the child of a relative. Could it be this little one? She was already so big?

No wonder he thought she looked familiar. So he had seen her before!

Willy walked over.

Holding Yvette in his arms, Elijah coaxed her with rare patience, "Okay, okay, Yvette, good girl, don't cry. I'll teach him a lesson for you and find you another Bree..."

"No more Bree. No more. Wah..."

After giving Willy two feigned punches, Elijah asked, "What are you doing here?"

With that, Willy briefly told him the situation. "I didn't know she's yours. But it's quite dangerous for a little girl to be carrying a snake around!"

"Yeah! Tell me about it! But maybe she was born with an affinity to cold things. She found an egg out of nowhere, and it hatched into a snake. She grew up with it and always treated it like a treasure! No wonder she's distraught! This little one is really mischievous; she'll scare you with the snake when she's upset. Good that it's been gotten rid of! Me and... her mom really don't know what to do with her!"
