Chapter 587 Women Are Women (1/2)

Beryl struggled to hide her disappointment from her young face. Still, she comforted herself in a low voice, ”It's okay. It's okay. At least, Mommy is here to accompany me. Mommy had said that Daddy was very busy with his work...”

”So he is so busy that he can't even join a family activity, right? Well, maybe, who knows?” Magee remarked ironically, as he knew that Jacob was not busy at all. Perhaps Jacob just did not want to waste time on Beryl and Emily.

Wistfully he thought that Jacob was not suffering from a memory disorder, but was a complete idiot instead! Otherwise, how could he treat his family in this way?

'Jacob, since you do not cherish what you have, I would be very glad to help you cherish them, ' he thought slyly.

Beryal stared at him, stunned, as she did not understand what he meant. ”What do you mean by that, Uncle Magee?” she asked in confusion.

”Nothing important,” he said evasively. He didn't want her to be unhappy and as he bent to stroke her head, he said, ”Your daddy is very busy today. So how about you and I play together for a while, okay?”

However, she became very vigilant upon hearing what he said and countered, ”No.”

”Why?” he asked in confusion.

Quick minded despite her tender years, she did not answer his question but instead stated, ”You want to be my new Daddy, right?”

He was stunned by what she said, but soon he burst out into laughter and asked, ”How could you think of me in that way?”

Pouting, the little girl replied, ”Many people asked me the same question before. I know that they all like my Mommy. So they all want to be my new Daddy!”

”So who asked you this question before? Can you name them?” he asked, curious now.

”Uncle Jack, Uncle Sean and... I won't tell you!” she quickly covered her mouth with two little hands.

”Alright.” He still could not help laughing and bantered, ”So you think that everyone in the world must like your Mommy, right?”

The little girl nodded her head seriously as she said, ”Of course! My Mommy is so beautiful and kind. Everyone must like her!”
