Chapter 1296

Willy stood up and held Yvette's hand, his eyes gleaming when he looked up. "Laurie?"

"Mommy..."

Turning around, Yvette ran straight to Lauren this time, hugging her legs, nuzzling affectionately, her face as bright as the sun.

After wiping the dust off her temple, Lauren shot a nasty look at Willy. "Finally see me? What a waste of two pairs of big round eyes..."

She was beginning to think if she was invisible.

Hearing the hints of jealousy in her feigned anger, Willy chuckled as he walked toward her. "Haha, I was going to call you, but I got a call right as I got off the plane. I didn't have the time!" "Oh, you! You're really becoming a doting father!"

Lauren suddenly felt a tug that couldn't be ignored as they bantered. "Mommy, Mommy, look at my Bree... Pretty, right?"

Their lips curved into a smile as their eyes met. "Yeah, it's really pretty! You can take Bree to school openly now!"

With that, she caressed Yvette's hair. "Let's go home!"

"Okay..."

Beaming with joy, Yvette held Lauren's hand and reached out for Willy's. But right as she tried to move, she realized she couldn't, only struck with revelation after switching her hands twice. "Daddy, daddy, that hand, here!"

Greatly amused once more, the couple held their daughter's hands as they headed toward the car parked not far away. Meanwhile, the little one was oozing happiness, humming something as she skipped. "Ya-ya-la, la-wu-wu, do-la-do-do..."

As their eyes kept meeting, tacitly slowing down, Lauren once again realized the irreplaceable role parents played in children's lives.

Right as they reached the gates of their home, an angry figure charged toward the front of the car.
