Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 158 If She Was My Daughter

As soon as she finished her sentence, Everleigh tightened her grip on her spoon and her gaze narrowed.

Adrienne blinked her big bright eyes and said, "Really? Mommy, Daddy said that he won't get angry, so I am not being impolite!"

Everleigh was speechless. She frowned and didn't know how to answer Adrienne.

Theodore continued peeling the shrimps. It was as if the argument wasn't a problem worthy of his concern. It was just a trivial matter that didn't deserve his attention. Adrienne squatted on the chair, and her eyes curved into two crescents. "So is it okay for me to call you Daddy from now on?"

"Sure."

"Daddy," Adrienne blinked and said. "I saw a swing in the courtyard. Can I go and play?"

Theodore asked her, "Are you full? Have some dessert."

"I'm full." Adrienne rubbed her stomach, which was bloated like a tiny watermelon. "Then go ahead. Be careful."

"Yes, yes."

After seeing his sister leave the table, Alastair laid down his cutlery and followed her.

The swing in the courtyard could be seen through the window of the dining room. Under the warm yellow light, a little girl's cheerful laughter could be heard. "Alastair, higher! Push me higher!" On the other hand, the silence in the room was quite a contrast.

Although children might not be sensible, Everleigh couldn't ignore the matter like they did. "I'm so sorry, Adrienne is young and innocent. I will teach her when we get home."

"There's no need to do so."

Everleigh was stunned.

"Since my first time meeting Adrienne, I have always thought of what it would be like if she was my daughter."

Theodore placed the peeled shrimp into the bowl in front of her.
