Darius felt a sharp pang in his heart.
He gazed deeply at Bethany with gentle yet painful eyes. "You should not call me uncle."
Bethany furrowed her pretty brows. "Then what are you?"
Darius raised his warm hand, intending to pat her little head, but she tilted her head away and avoided it. She didn't like getting too close to people; she only liked being with her mommy.
"Bethany, do you know how to read?" Darius took out a paternity test report, flipped to the last page, and pointed to the line with the result. "Do you recognize this?"
Bethany blinked her eyes and looked at the line of text.
"Father-Daughter Relationship!"
What did that mean?
Although she was young, she wasn't stupid.
But she was confused. Wasn't her father supposed to be that scary man Tucker? How come this document said she was fathered by this incredibly handsome man?
She looked at Darius with puzzlement and then at Isabelle.
Isabelle was dumbfounded by Darius's sudden actions. She was still contemplating how to break the news to her daughter that her daddy had changed.
He just threw a document at them?
She was worried about how much Bethany could handle. The little girl was so young; could she accept this fact?
Isabelle crouched in front of Bethany, holding the child's hands. "Bethany, Tucker is not your real daddy. That's why he didn't treat you well and was mean to you."
"Will the new daddy be nice to me?" Bethany's mind was filled with doubt. What if the new daddy didn't like her and wasn't nice to her?
Darius couldn't hold back any longer. He reached out and tightly embraced Isabelle and Bethany.
"I will, I promise." His voice was hoarse, carrying suppressed emotions that he wanted to release but held back.
He didn't want to scare his daughter and his woman.
After a while, he let go of Isabelle and Bethany.
"I'll take care of all the household matters for Bethany."
Isabelle was still trying to process everything. Their family's household registration and other documents were still with the Bentley family. This matter might not be easy to resolve.
"But..." She was about to say something, but Darius interrupted her, "No 'buts.' Leave this to me; I'll take care of it."
