“Aren’t you? Didn’t you abduct Lily to retaliate against her father?” Shirley said coldly without raising her head.
Carter knew Shirley would think of him this way, so he did not even bother explaining.
“You will soon know the true purpose of me bringing you to F Country.”
After Carter finished speaking solemnly, he lowered his eyes and turned his attention to Lillian who was eating an apple.
“The enemy’s daughter is eating apples so happily, while my child could only eat dust. Hmph! ” Carter sneered and suddenly, he reached out and pushed the fruit bowl in front of Lillian away.
With a clang, the fruit bowl fell on the plush carpet.
Lillian was obviously taken aback by Carter’s behavior.
She stared blankly at Carter, who was throwing a tantrum, with her big, pure, and clean eyes.
Upon seeing this, Shirley immediately scolded Carter, “Carter, you are a grown man. There are
many ways to vent any dissatisfaction in your heart and yet you lose your temper with such a small child.”
As she spoke, she suddenly showed a glad yet sarcastic smile.
“Fortunately, that child is gone. If that child were born, he’d be sad for having a father like you.”
When Carter heard this, his eyes sank instantly.
“ If our child had a chance to come into this world, I’d definitely spoil him so that he becomes the happiest child in the world. But who is this little thing? She’s not my daughter, so why should I be polite to her?”
“Aren’t other people’s children also children?” Shirley asked, the disappointment in her eyes intensifying. “How did you become like this? You’re so cold-blooded because of that so-called hatred in your heart.”
After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at Carter and then reached out her hand to Lillian.
