Can't Get Away With You novel Chapter 30

Seeing that Joey turned his head away, Lois didn't argue with him any more. She never quarreled with him in front of the child. It was the first time that she had quarreled with him in front of their child today.

Maggie saw that the two of them had changed from whispers to hostility. She seemed to understand, but it seemed that she didn't.

Maggie looked at Joey, who turned his head away, and then she looked at Lois, who looked helpless. She lowered her head in silence.

In her memory, her mother never quarreled with her father. She always said that her father was a good father, but he was just very busy and tired.

At this moment, her previous impression was overturned in her heart. Perhaps her father was not a good father, and it was not just because he was busy. Otherwise, why did her mother have such a helpless expression?

Noticing Maggie's gaze, Lois smiled gently and asked, "does Maggie like to live with your father or mother?"

Maggie was in a daze when she heard this question, and then lowered her head to think.

After a while, the little girl raised her head and asked carefully, "I love mom, will you be with me forever?"

Lois nodded excitedly. She couldn't restrain her excitement and said, "of course!"

Maggie nodded, "then I'll live with my father."

For a moment, all the surging joy faded away like the tide, and then came the yellow sand all over the ground in reality.

The ecstasy in Lois's eyes slowly turned into disbelief and unacceptable. She wanted to escape, but she was afraid of losing it.

Finally she asked, "why?"

Why don't you want to live with me? Don't you like me?

Lois felt that the whole world was collapsing and overturning. At the same time, Joey's words came to her mind again, "Maggie is about to forget you.".

Maggie didn't notice that Lois was about to lose control of her emotions. She crawled into her mother's arms and acted like a spoiled child, "Maggie loves Mommy. Mommy and Maggie can just follow Daddy!"

Hearing the loud noise, Lois listened to the coquettish voice in her arms and slowly suppressed her negative emotions. She patted on the back of Maggie and said, "Maggie, good girl..."

Lois closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She kept patting Maggie on the back. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes had returned to clear. The grief was no longer there, but a little gloom.

When Lois asked this question, Joey regretted taking the child to see her. When he saw that Maggie bowed her head and was deep in thought, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

He tried to think about whether he had done anything to make Maggie moved to give up his mother. The answer was self-evident.

But when the little girl spoke out her will, he suddenly felt moved. He was really moved. No matter whether he had become a good father or not, the kinship could not be easily erased. Although Maggie was only a child, she knew that he was her father, the family member with the same bloodline in her life.

Joey was deeply touched by Maggie's words, but he was also a little angry with Lois. A child at such a young age knew how to protect her family, but why couldn't a person at the age of more than 20 think about that!

Joey didn't know at this time. In the near future, he finally understood that the blood relationship was not less than the love of five years. Without Lois, he was worse than a stranger in Maggie's eyes.

Lois and Maggie had been making out for a long time before Joey proposed to leave.

Lois's hand, which was pinching Maggie's face, trembled slightly. She grinned hard and begged, "stay a little longer."

Joey frowned and looked at his watch. "It's already over ten o'clock. I have a meeting later."

Lois understood and smiled. He should be anxious as he was busy with the company's affairs.

"Leave Maggie here. When you finish your work in the afternoon..."
