Chapter 351 My Heart Hurts (2/2)

Emily stared at her with awe, unable to decide whether she was amused or annoyed. She wondered where her little girl had learned how to act like that. Perhaps, Beryl's behavior could be attributed to watching t

resist the urge to speak her mind. ”In fact, my uncle said that to me too, but he never spoke the same words again...”

Beryl thought in her mind, 'Does he think I am a fool? How could he be my father?

I don't believe it.'

”They're all liars. Only what I said is true,” Jacob contended, with a serious look in his eyes.

”Gee! Okay! Okay! Let's go quickly!” she urged. Beryl quickly changed the topic, as she grew nervous. ”Zoe is going to wake up soon. She won't let me leave if she finds out. Let's go! Hurry up!” Beryl urged.

”What am I going to do with you?” Jacob shook his head and gently squeezed her rosy cheeks. ”If I secretly take you away with me, your mother will get worried about you,” he explained.

”She will not!” she insisted ardently, and her voice become high-pitched. Beryl put her arms around his neck, rubbing her head against him like a kitten, and said, ”Just go, please, take me out...”

For reasons unknown to her, Beryl always felt good around Jacob. Even at first sight, she unconsciously felt drawn towards him. In Jacob's presence, she felt safe, and she knew that he would never do anything to harm her.

In fact, it felt like they had known each other for a very long time.

'Well, I know Mommy is going to get mad at me, but I just need to forget it for now. Hey! It's not my fault I inherited forgetfulness from Mommy.

Ha-ha.'

Beryl kept insisting, ”Let's go, let's go! I really want to go there...” Jacob was at a complete loss. He was afraid that Beryl was going to start crying, so instead of handling the situation like a responsible adult, he gave into her demands like an unprincipled parent.
