Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1276

Soon, dinner was served. While Lauren set the table, Willy stood idly aside, suddenly realizing he was still at a loss, nothing he could do at all to help. Yvette was just right there in front of him, trying to climb the chair as she looked at her mother, yet couldn't do something

as simple as carrying her up to her seat.

For the first time, he was shrouded in deep, utter helplessness and defeat.

He thought of reaching out a few times, only to withdraw his hands right as he extended them. Similarly, he opened his mouth, but not a single note came out.

"Dinner's ready..."

With that, Lauren habitually carried Yvette up to her seat and put a bib on her before giving her her plate of potatoes and cutleries.

"Good girl, go on, dig in!"

"Thank you for the meal, Mommy!"

Yvette clearly knew her table manners. Despite holding her cutleries, she didn't eat when the adults hadn't taken their seats. Willy, however, was utterly distraught when he looked at the hearty dinner and the warm and blissful scene of the loving mother and daughter while he was shut out of their world.

After taking her seat, Lauren only looked over at Willy, who still stood idly aside. "Have some dinner first!"

Because of Yvette's clinging and fussing, and her head had been in a mess since she came back, she and Willy barely had the chance to speak even till now. Yvette, however, glanced at Willy and looked away, pouting with her spoon in her mouth, evidently not welcoming him.

His baby girl's blatant contempt got him utterly crushed, but despite his heartache, he still sat down.

He genuinely even dreamed about this scene in his sleep.

But never did he expect to be the one to have crushed his own dream when it came true. He had a gorgeous and adorable daughter, yet he never realized.

She would also obediently play on her own before and after her meal, either quietly drawing or going back to the little tent in her room or her play area to play with her toys, if not running around in her toy car in the living room or the yard.
