The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 551 You’re Not Allowed to Get Married

Casey glanced at the man beside her, still savoring the warmth of his touch from earlier.

But Symeon dampened her spirits. “You didn’t order any food and decided to interfere in other people’s. affairs, leaving Dulcie starving and waiting for you to return so that she could eat. You’re being selfish.”

After saying that, he turned and walked toward Dulcie’s seat.

Casey stood there, feeling perplexed. Did he just call her selfish?

But when she thought about Dulcie waiting for her, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for the latter.

She quickly returned to her seat and saw Dulcie’s adorable face resting on the table, almost in tears from hunger.

As soon as the little girl saw Casey return, she perked up, seeming full of energy. “Miss Casey, you’re finally back! Let’s order our food. Daddy and I have been waiting for you.”

Casey felt a twinge of sadness. It was clear that Dulcie was putting in a good word for Symeon, trying to leave a good impression on him.

In other words, Dulcie was trying to help Symeon please her.

“I’m starving too. Let’s order quickly, okay?”

“Yeah, I’m starving to death.” Dulcie stared at the menu with eager eyes.

Symeon observed Dulcie, feeling a mix of emotions. He could also see that Dulcie was trying to play a matchmaker between him and Casey.

It was past 10 p.m. after they finished dinner, and Dulcic was so exhausted that she fell asleep on Symeon’s back, murmuring in her sleep, “Daddy, Miss Casey is very nice and perfect for you… Don’t let her slip

Symeon glanced at Dulcie sleeping on his back, then looked at Casey walking beside him. “Did you teach her to say that?”

Puzzled, Casey asked, “Huh? What? How is that possible? Why would I teach her those things?”

“To become Mrs. Lawrence and Dulcie’s official mother, of course. Those must attract you to do so.” The man’s face remained expressionless and calm.

Casey widened her eyes, not knowing how to react. Was this man suffering from delusions?
