Chapter 473 Harrietta Is Missing

Meeting the girl's gaze, she instinctively explained, "I'm thinking the three of us could share a meal together as a family."

"My dad loves eating lamb!" Harrietta's dark eyes sparkled as she spoke. "Lamb stew, barbecue lamb, grilled lamb skewers, lamb broth... He loves them all." "Is that so?"

"Yes." The girl nodded, remaining composed.

"All right. I'll remember that. I wonder if your dad has had his lunch at this time? Hattie why don't you give him a call and check on him?"

Wow. She's giving the game away so fast! How impatient!

Harrietta pursed her lips. "No. Uncle Zachary might be busy with social gatherings at this time. I can't disturb him."

"How is that disturbing him? Your dad would be thrilled to receive your call!" Isla exclaimed.

Harrietta pursed her lips and shook her head. "No."

Isla glared at Harrietta with a gloomy expression, but it didn't seem to faze her in the slightest. She continued to eat and drink as if nothing had happened. It was like a punch that fell flat, leaving her feeling deflated. This girl is quite vigilant.

After lunch, Isla took Harrietta back to kindergarten.

Before the lunch break ended, Harrietta took a brief nap. As the prep bell rang, signaling the end of the break, the children filed back into the classroom.

Molly couldn't help asking curiously, "Hattie, was that your mom who came to pick you up at noon today? She seemed a bit different from the woman I saw at the school gate the other day."

"I know! I know!" A young boy from the back row suddenly blurted out, "My dad told me, Harrietta is an illegitimate daughter!"

Isla, as the niece of a prominent leader, had always attracted those eager to get close to her, hoping to win favor with the leadership. Their eyes were always on her, watching her every move. It didn't take long for the more observant individuals to see through the layers, picking up on subtle clues in her recent behavior."

"Harrietta's an illegitimate daughter?"

"What does that mean?"

"It's the child your father had with another woman!" Paxton shot back, his voice sharp. "I can't stand illegitimate daughters!"

The children chattered, discussing Harrietta's identity.

Molly said, "Hattie, don't worry. Even if you were an illegitimate daughter, I would not hate you."
