Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1207

Only then did Lauren turn around and continue to walk forward.

His gaze followed her all the way. With a lift of his gaze, Willy saw a middle-aged man in his forties holding a bouquet of red roses, stuffing it into Lauren's arms. All at once, his face fell.

A tender and meek voice sounded by his ear, "Daddy, Mommy, can we eat cake now?"

As if he had been struck by lightning that instant, Willy shot his gaze over, seething with rage. Dory shuddered, frightened by his reaction.

Coming to her senses, Cloud hurried to lean over. "Dory, didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense? He's Mr. Bowles. Do you understand?"

"Dory, you're all grown up. You shouldn't act as you wish! If you forget it again, Mr. Bowles won't come to visit you again!"

"Mommy... I want daddy... Why?"

Feeling wronged, the little girl began to wipe her tears. Perhaps since she was afraid, she dared not cry out loud. The way she suppressed her sobs turned her all the more pitiful.

"Is it because I'm sick? Is that why you two, daddy and mommy don't want me anymore?" Her words trailed off with a cough.

"Dory, don't cry! How can I not want you?! Don't you want to eat cake? The most beautiful Barbie cake and Barbie dolls. Let's eat the cake, shall we? Stop crying, will you?"

"Both mommy and daddy love you. Why would I not want you?"

On one side, Cloud held her daughter, trying her best to coax her. Returning to himself, Willy was bewildered to seethe little girl crying and coughing to the point of her face pale. Willy had no choice but to temporarily suppress his emotions. Withdrew his eyes from the laughing scene of the duo in the distance, he slowly settled down in his seat.

"Dory, behave! Don't cry. Your daddy, mommy, and me, Mr. Bowles, will always like you! Go ahead, eat the cake!"

In fact, they had met only several times in the past year. More often, he would order his servants to deal with the mother-daughter duo. That day, he had agreed to come over because it was the child's birthday. Since her condition was deteriorating, he did not have the heart to reject such a request.

Deep within his heart, Willy pitied the child who was tortured by illness. Whenever he saw the child, he would often be reminded of the baby he had lost. That explained why he could not help resisting treating her better every time he saw her. He also hoped that when he was not around, Lauren's child could receive kind treatment.

Before Lauren had appeared, he had not felt anything wrong. Right then, Willy felt uncomfortable all over as if he seemed to have lice crawling all over his body. Although he tried his best to care for the child's emotions, he would subconsciously glance at the position in front of him, even if he could only see half the back of her head.

While enjoying her meal with Logan, however, Lauren giggled from time to time, "Haha, is that true? That must be interesting. I want to have a chance to see it for myself in the future!"

Although the man's appearance was not pleasing to the eye, it turned out that an interesting soul was much more important than an attractive appearance! Since Logan had a way with his words, Lauren had to admit that she was delighted to be praised, especially how he could flatter her with every sentence he spoke. Whether it was praising her for being knowledgeable, well-cultivated, her voice melodious, or that she was beautiful, Lauren enjoyed listening to every of it!

Little did Lauren, who had expected herself not to have the appetite to eat, know that she would be enjoying the meal.
