Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 684

"Lisa, do you miss Mommy?" Colin asked with a hint of excitement in his deep voice. He thought he was a despicable man, but he couldn't help himself.

Truth was, Lisa had gotten pneumonia so she had to stay in the hospital for a few days. Colin had designed some plots in advance to bring Mandy to the hospital to see Lisa. It was Colin who had told Lisa that he and Mandy had gotten divorced. He took advantage of the child's kindness so she would cooperate with his acting.

Lisa was an innocent, simple-minded girl, and she had no idea what was going on between the adults. Colin told her if she helped her father, her mother would come back to them. Hence, she pretended that she hated Mandy, which broke Mandy's heart.

Lisa nodded her head, still trying to understand the meaning of his words. "Yes, I miss mommy. Daddy, will mommy come to see me after I leave the hospital? Do I need to act like I'm sick? Then she will come to see me, right?"

Colin's fingers were trembling. He grasped his daughter's hand, feeling sad and disgusted with himself. What kind of man was he? He was using his own three-year-old daughter to fool her mother? Luckily, Lisa didn't mess it up, or he would have been really ashamed of himself in front of Mandy.

According to Eve's information, Nathan had recently gone away on a business trip. It was the perfect time for Colin to get in touch with Mandy.

"Lisa, Dad will discharge you from the hospital today. Where do you want to go?" he asked.

Lisa lowered her head and looked at the floor with her bright eyes. With an innocent look on her face, she said, "I want mommy to play with us..."

"Why don't you give mommy a call? Tell her about it." Colin took out his phone and handed it to Lisa, wearing a warm smile on his face, like he meant to do what was best for the child and had no ulterior motives.

Lisa loved that idea. She quickly found her mother's contact and called her.

At the time, Mandy was in a meeting. Seeing it was Colin who was calling her, she didn't answer the phone. The business director of the Mandy Mall was giving a presentation. She had proposed to improve the theme environment of the Mandy Mall. His ideas appealed to Mandy, and she was totally engrossed in them.

After a while, Colin called her again, but she still chose to avoid it. A few seconds later, she received a voice message from Colin. Mandy put the speaker close to her hear but accidentally pressed the loud speaker option. The audio of little Lisa's voice rung in the quiet conference room.

The voice message said, "Mommy, what are you doing? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Mandy's heart skipped a beat, but she chuckled to herself. She hadn't expected that Lisa would take the initiative to send her a message through WeChat. 'Is the little girl no longer mad at me?' she wondered.

The people seated in the conference room looked at each other, confused. They looked at Mandy, wondering why had they heard a little girl's voice just now. And she had called Mandy 'mommy.' Everyone knew Mandy and Nathan had a son, not a daughter.

But they knew Mandy had a daughter with Colin when she was in America. Was that the girl who had called her?

All the managers and other executives pretended they hadn't heard anything. They didn't dare stir or talk about it with each other. This was a rule they strictly followed in JS International. The staff was forbidden to gossip about their boss's private life. Nathan hated those who gossiped the most.

"Director Zhang, that's a good suggestion. Let's do it. Make a theme design for each month as per the most popular elements. You can submit the design draft of this month to me before the twentieth of this month," Mandy said carefully, a little awkwardly. This was the first time she was presiding over a meeting since she had taken the office. Although Nathan was absent, she wasn't as nervous as she had thought she would be.

"Yes, Miss Zhou," Director Zhang nodded slightly and replied.

The meeting ended in a hurry after that. After returning to her office, Mandy called Colin immediately.
