Chapter 488 Miss Her So Much (1/2)
”Because my baby doesn't eat. If you don't eat, I don't eat either.” Bill deliberately won Belle's sympathy.
When he was in the company, Terri called him and told him that Belle didn't have lunch. He came back in advance in the afternoon. As soon as he came back home, he immediately brought the food here.
Bill didn't eat either. He didn't want her to starve.
”I don't want to eat because I can't see Mommy. Daddy, don't refuse to eat because of me.” Belle was worried about him.
”Would you like to have lunch with me?” Bill's eyes lit up. He knew that he might succeed in coaxing her.
”No, I said I wouldn't eat without seeing Mommy. Daddy, you can eat by yourself.” Belle was still unable to be persuaded by him. She looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed.
She was already very hungry, but she knew that if she didn't do this, she couldn't see her mother at all, so she could only endure hunger and wait for him to agree.
Noticing the look in Belle's eyes, Bill simply brought the food here and used it to coax her.
”Come on, let me feed you.” He picked up a piece of meat and shook it in front of her mouth.
Belle kept swallowing and staring at the meat with her eager eyes.
”Open your mouth. I'll feed you.” Bill said as he put the meat near her mouth.
Belle gritted her teeth. Tempted by the delicious food, she kept reminding herself not to eat, or she might never see her mother again.
”I don't want to eat!” She turned her face away. The juice on the meat stained her fair face.
At this moment, she looked like Euralia when she was a child, and the memory of Bill was flooding over. Twenty years ago, when he adopted Euralia, she was about the same age as Belle.
At that time, Euralia also liked to go on a hunger strike to threaten him, and he had fed her.
Thinking of this, he suddenly missed her very much, even though he knew that she had betrayed him.
”Daddy, can I see Mommy?” Belle had said this for countless times today, and her voice became hoarse.
”Not now.” Bill put down his chopsticks and took out a piece of tissue from the bedside table to wipe Belle's face which was stained with meat juice.
”Why? Daddy, I really miss Mommy.” Tears welled up in her eyes again.
”Would you like to have lunch first?” Bill felt a little helpless. He thought Belle could not resist the temptation of delicious food.
Unfortunately, he underestimated her willpower. She was as stubborn and willful as Euralia when she was a child.
