Can't Get Away With You novel Chapter 8

The servant put the food on the table with her head down and left without saying a word.

Joey picked up a small bowl of porridge, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and blew it. Then he handed it to Maggie's lips and said, "eat it!"

"I want mom to feed me!" Maggie resisted, holding the Pooh Toy in her arms.

Joey narrowed his eyes and asked, "eat or not?"

Maggie was frightened by his cold voice. She bit her lips and didn't dare to cry out, but the Pooh Toy in her arms was a little deformed.

Joey softened, "Maggie, I'm very busy. Maggie will be a good kid of dad if she has a good meal. "

"I know dad is very busy," the little girl rubbed her red eyes and said, "I just want mom to be with me..."

Joey's face turned pale. Since when did the little girl say such words? She knew that her father was very busy, as long as her mother was with her...

It was Lois who had been taking care of her all the time. He had never done anything for her, so naturally there would be no return.

Joey's phone rang. He turned around and answered it. It was Sally, who often went to the hospital to visit Maggie.

"Joey, do you have time? Is it convenient for you to meet me? " Sally said softly.

"I'm worried about Maggie at home alone..."

"Why is Maggie alone at home? Is she okay? Is she crying? " Sally said worriedly.

Joey sighed helplessly, "she is still mad at me. She won't let me go."

The smile on Sally's face froze, and she cursed in her heart, 'she is indeed as ill bred as her mother!'!

But she smiled gently, "how can you take care of the child as a man? Let me go to see her."

Joey looked at the little girl who was full of vigilance and said, "okay."

Joey put down his phone and looked at the way that Maggie pursed her lips. She looked exactly like her mother. Whenever she was on guard, she would always pursed her lips slightly.

"Aunt Sally will come back to see you later. Maggie, be a good girl, okay?"

Maggie immediately said, "no, I don't want her! I don't want a bad woman to come here! "

"Shut up!" Joey shouted harshly. Seeing the frightened look in the little girl's eyes, he said softly, "how can you be impolite to Auntie?"

Maggie curled her lips. She wanted to cry but dared not. She remembered that the teacher in the kindergarten said that If she had a new mother and her father would not love her anymore. She lowered her head and cried silently.

Joey thought she was frightened by his usual coldness, so he turned around with guilt. For a moment, the two of them became depressed.

When Sally arrived, she saw that Joey was having a cold war with Maggie. She smiled at Maggie, but the little girl only said, "Auntie, I'm sleepy." Then she turned around and pretended to be asleep.

Lois had called Joey several times to discuss about the divorce, but she had been perfunctory by Joey.

Seeing that she was getting thinner and thinner, Tania Tang couldn't bear it and said, "you'd better be more open-minded. Don't get yourself involved if you can't get a divorce!"

Lois shook her head and didn't want to say anything more.

"By the way, I'm going to buy some summer clothes. Would you like to go with me?" Tania Tang put down the coffee in her hand and said.
