Chapter 321 I Am Your Father (2/2)

”Beryl, why are you running around?” Emily scolded, as she ran towards Beryl with a worried look on her face. She loo

le girl was not his real daughter, he would treat her as his own child. And as long as the truth was kept hidden from Emily, someday they would be reconciled with each other again.

Jack was so delighted that he couldn't resist the impulse, so he got out of the car and followed Emily quietly.

At the doorstep, Emily's hand were scrambling to find the key in her handbag, while Beryl crouched on the ground, resting her chin on her knee and playing with the grass that grew hard from the cracks of the floor.

”Woof, woof…” The sudden barking caught Beryl's attention.

When Beryl noticed that her mother wasn't looking at her, she stood up and walked to the edge of the flowering shrub, where she saw a little, snow-coloured puppy hiding inside. ”It's so cute,” she exclaimed and reached out to hold the puppy without hesitation.

Emily turned around as soon as she heard Beryl's voice. When she realized what Beryl was doing, she immediately stopped her. ”Beryl, don't touch it,” she said.

Beryl obediently withdrew her hand and picked up a twig to play with the puppy. Just then, all of a sudden, a tall figure appeared in front of her.

”Beryl? Your name is Beryl?” Jack asked in a soft tone.

Beryl looked up and saw a handsome and unfamiliar face. ”Who are you?” she asked.

Jack tried his best to control his excitement and be more gentle. At the very least, he wanted to appear fatherly. ”I am your father,” he replied.

Puzzled, Beryl cast an awkward look at him, before she picked up the puppy and ran back to Emily.

Speechless, Jack was at a loss. He realized that he just got given the cold shoulder by a little girl.

Was there something on his face? Did he look weird? He was told that all children were fond of people who looked gracious and gentle. Wasn't he good-looking or gentle enough? Jack was completely confused.
