Chapter 40 Never Wanted To Meet Her
When Byron saw this, his expression became even more sullen. “What do you have to say to her? It‘s best to pretend that you don‘t know her and not have any contact with her when you meet her in the future.” Since the woman had no intentions of acknowledging her daughter, he simply was doing what she wanted!
Estie got frightened by her daddy‘s tone. She was stunned for a few seconds before she reluctantly frowned and wrote in her little notebook: (why?)
without waiting for Byron to answer, she quickly added: (I like the lady very much. She’s very kind and gentle to me. I want to be with her!)
The little girl‘s straightforward liking distressed Byron, but she had to face the truth. With a blank expression, he said, “That‘s because she already has her own children. She doesn‘t need another child.” Hearing this, Estie‘s eyes were filled with confusion. She knew about the two brothers, but the beautiful lady still treated her very well.
Her daddy, however, seemed to hate her.
Seeing the little girl quiet down, Byron informed his assistant to start the car. They left the Quirke family’s manor. On the road, he felt the corners of his clothes being tugged twice again.
Byron frowned and looked over. [Then, where did my mommy go?] Estie looked at him somewhat aggrievedly, her big eyes filled with confusion. The beautiful lady was the mother of the two brothers, so she could not get close to the beautiful lady.
What about her mommy, then?
These words stung Byron‘s eyes hard. He looked away, stricken. For a moment, he did not know how to answer her.
Estie was asking him where her mommy was.
