The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 580 How Dare She Deceive Me?

Dulcie had barely taken a few bites of her cake when she heard her father’s approaching footsteps. Startled, she quickly set down the cake.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Casey was oblivious to the situation.

It wasn’t until Symeon entered the dining room that Dulcie obediently settled in her seat and wiped her mouth clean, and Casey realized what had unsettled the little girl.

“Who allowed you to eat the cake? Don’t you care about your teeth?” Symeon’s expression soured when he noticed the cake on the table.

Frightened, Dulcie grabbed Casey’s hand, hoping she would defend her.

Casey gently patted the child’s head and then turned her attention to Symeon. “I told her that eating a small amount of cake once in a while is fine. After she’s done, I’ll make sure she brushes her teeth.”

Symeon, placated, pulled out a dining chair to sit down and turned to Dulcie. “Is this why you didn’t go to kindergarten today? Are you planning to play truant?”

“I haven’t seen Miss Casey for a long time, and I want to spend some time with her. Dad, please, can I go to kindergarten in the afternoon?”

Seeing Dulcie’s pleading look, Casey interjected. “Let Dulcie stay with me for a while. You can get on with your tasks, and I’ll take care of her.”

“Are

you that free? Don’t you have any work? Is Elias that lenient with you?” Symeon mocked coldly.

Unfazed. Casey replied, “I’ve already resigned. I don’t dare to continue working in his company. Right now, my top priority is to settle my shareholdings.”

He didn’t say anything more and ate a few bites of breakfast before getting up and leaving.

Once Symeon had left, Dulcie regained her composure and whispered, “Miss Casey, Dad’s gone. Can I have another bite of cake? It’s really tasty.”

“Sure, but only two more bites, or you might get cavities.”

“Okay”

Throughout their time together, she had developed a maternal bond with Dulcie. However, she remained hesitant to reveal that she was Dulcie’s biological mother, fearing
