My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1374

It took a while before Joel finally decided to meet Bailey. Before this, Tiffany had contacted him, but he refused to meet her.

He stared at Lola, who was playing with the kids happily. She was different from all of them. The Fletchers were a military family, and they were extremely sensitive when it came to marriage. Traditionally, they would not marry a foreigner, so mixed-race children were rare in the family. At the moment, Lola was one of the most unique children amongst the Fletchers.

Her green eyes were too eye-catching.

Besides, her father was killed by the Fletchers.

They desired for this secret to stay hidden forever. If it couldn’t be kept secret…

Joel looked at Michael. Celine had become retarded, so regarding Lola’s future, Michael, as her uncle, should have a say.

However, Michael was struggling to handle Lola too. He thought it would be better if Lola stayed with the Fletcher Family. Yet, he was afraid that Bailey would visit them every day using Lola as an excuse, and disturb his daughter…

Joel turned to look at Justin. He… could be considered a stepfather. As a stepfather, he should have an opinion too. But, Justin chose to avoid his gaze. Lola’s existence was his greatest pain. He believed he was extremely generous to allow Lola to visit them so often.

In the end, Joel announced solemnly, “Lola is already ten years old. She gets to call the shot sometimes.”

In response, Bailey nodded. Standing up, he walked toward Lola.

“Lola, I’m Bailey. I’m your great-uncle. Come here. I have something to tell you.”

Lola stared at the young-looking great-uncle in surprise. She turned around, seeking Joel, but she saw Joel smiling at her. “This is your biological father’s relative. He has something to tell you.”

As if she had noticed something, Lola followed Bailey in a daze.

On the balcony on the second floor, Bailey and Lola sat down face to face under the dim light.

Starting from Lola’s identity, Bailey began, “Your biological father, Blade, was one of the Adams. He was a lost child and had you when he was outside. You are the blood of the Adam Family, and I want to bring you back.”

Upon hearing that, Lola was puzzled. She had no memory of her biological father. No, there were still some vague memories. She knew when she was very young that there was always an uncle who would come and visit her. He always brought her a lot of delicious food. He told her to study hard, so she wouldn’t end up like him.

Apart from that, she remembered nothing about her own father and mother.

Seeing that Lola wasn’t speaking, Bailey asked again, “Do you want to come with me, Lola?”

Lola stared at him and shook her head. She said, “I like the Fletchers. Is it okay if I don’t go with you?”

At that moment, Bailey’s gaze froze. His gaze was fixated on her and he couldn’t move his eyes away.

As if she was a little worried, Lola explained, “I don’t want to leave my parents and my brother.”

She didn’t want to leave the Fletcher Family at all. In fact, she liked it here a lot. She loved the atmosphere; she loved Joel, Maddie, Drew, and every friend she had around her.

The air fell silent for a short moment.

In the end, Bailey could only ruffle her hair and nodded. “Of course. It’s your own choice. If you want to go with me one day, you can call me anytime.”

Turning around, Lola ran away without looking back. Bailey, who was standing on the balcony on the second floor, could see Lola running into the garden.

Joel was waiting for her inside the garden. He had been eavesdropping on their conversation from downstairs, afraid that Bailey would tell Lola something he shouldn’t have said. However, Bailey didn’t say anything out of the ordinary.
