Chapter 204 It‘s Only A Misunderstanding
After sitting in the living room for a while, Byron got Mrs. Zora to get Estie down for a meal.
Estie had been obediently staying in her room. When she thought about what Grandmother had saidand imagined how the beautiful aunt was going to be her mommy, she really looked forward to it.
While they were eating, she could not help but ask, “Daddy, are you marrying Aunt?”
While she was done, she looked expectantly at her daddy. Since this little girl came back, even if shedid not speak a lot with him and only just said a few short phrases, this was her first time saying such along sentence in one breath. Byron was stunned for a while before noticing the little girl‘s issue. Hethought about what this little girl was usually like toward Rosalie, and an odd feeling rose in his heart.
“You like her a lot?” Estie nodded as a matter of factly. The beautiful aunt was her favorite person!Byron looked at how elated the little girl became while talking about that woman and his eyebrows werelocked together.
“What do you like about her?”
To be completely frank, the amount of time this little girl knew that woman was pathetically short, butshe was very reliant on that woman and even closer to her than she was to him.
Byron could not find an explanation for that and could only give credit to the blood relation they had asmother and daughter. Estie had not thought of this question before. When she heard her daddy ask,she tilted her head to a side and pondered seriously. After a while, that little girl began extending herfingers as she replied solemnly.
“Aunt is pretty, she‘s gentle, she cooks yummy food, and she‘s really, really nice to me…”
Byron heard the little girl‘s answer and continued to ask with a complicated feeling in his heart. “ButAunt has two little boys with her. Would you want them to come live with us as well?”
The existence of the two little boys had always been a thorn in his heart.
Even if the two boys were extremely well–behaved and he really liked them as well, when he thoughtabout their father abandoning them and their mother, he would feel a tinge of discomfort in his heart.novelbin
Estie, on the other hand, had gleaming eyes on her innocent face. “Lu and No are really nice to me. Ireally like them as well!” She really liked the beautiful aunt, she also really liked the two brothers too!
After her statement, she was reminded once again regarding her initial question and looked eagerly ather daddy. “So, Daddy, will you marry the beautiful aunt? I want her to be my mommy!”
If not, why would Daddy ask her so many questions related to the beautiful aunt?
When Estie thought about this, the eagerness in her heart soared. She felt like the beautiful aunt wassure to become her mommy!
However, why would Daddy not answer her question after such a long time? The little girl‘s eyes werefilled with confused curiosity, and the eagerness in her heart dampened significantly. She askedcarefully, “Daddy?”
Byron snapped back to his senses. His eyes slightly darkened as he avoided the little girl’s expectantgaze. “No.”
At least, not now.
Estie refused to give up and frowned. She remembered what Grandma had said. “But Grandma said…”
…that Daddy wants to marry the beautiful aunt.‘ Before she could finish her sentence, Byron‘s deep,solemn voice cut her off. “It‘s just a misunderstanding.” Byron did not want to continue the conversationany longer and added more food to the little girl‘s plate. “Eat. Finish your food and rest up earlier.” Estiewas so excited earlier. She only said so many things just now because she thought Daddy would makethe beautiful aunt her mommy.
Now that she had heard her daddy‘s response, she lowered her gaze in disappointment. She had losther appetite. She scarfed a few mouthfuls of food in her mouth, leaped off her chair, and went back toher room without another word. Watching how dejected his daughter looked, Byron‘s eyebrowsfurrowed, but he said nothing else.
