Chapter 740 “Daddy, I don‘t want to leave.”
“Daddy, I‘m not finished eating yet.”
Harold and Melody spoke unanimously. They stared pitifully at Terry with tears in their eyes. Terry‘s cold heart melted to something warm and soft.
He said softly, “Finish the food first and then go home. Take your time…”
Adina stood at the side, clearly stunned. It wasn‘t surprising that her children had addressed him as their father. What shocked her was that he responded to them.
When she had told him the truth, he had doubted her.‘ Why did he suddenly accept Melody and Harold calling him Daddy?‘
Harold tugged on Adina‘s clothes and whispered to her,“ Daddy said we can address him as Daddy as long as there are no outsiders around.”
Harold said with a happy gleam in his eyes. He had lost his father once. Now that he had found his father again, he realized how blissful and safe he felt with his father protecting him.
Adina stared at Terry in disbelief. Terry looked up and glanced at her. When their gazes met, there was an immediate attraction.
She looked into the depth of his pupils. At that moment, she understood. Even if Catherine had erased his memories , nobody could deny the fact that they were a family. His children were of his blood.
Just then, someone chipped in at the wrong time.
“Mike …” Mrs. Cook entered through the door. She was about to say something when she noticed three strangers in the dining hall. “Mike, who are they?” she asked in surprise.
Terry glanced at her briskly. “They are none of your concern. Just say what you want to say.”
Mrs. Cook shuddered when she met his razor–sharp gaze.
She did not have the courage to probe further about Adina and the children. She smiled dryly. “Mike, have you decided when to go back with us?”.
He sounded indifferent. There was not even the slightest bit of gentleness in his voice. Mrs. Cook hesitated before blurting out the words,” Mike, I‘m aware that your current identity is different from the past. It’s rather impossible for you to go back
Mrs. Cook shivered. She then recalled the rumors she had heard from the bodyguards about Terry‘s new lover.
‘Could this woman be his rumored lover?‘
Mrs. Cook sucked in a deep breath. She pretended to notice Adina‘s hostility. “Mike, Hestia Border doesn‘t have an established legal system, and no one cares if you are in a relationship with multiple women. However, Ms. Isabelle is a noble woman, it‘s best that you keep a humble profile in your relationship with—”
Terry had no patience in dealing with the Cook family. When he heard Mrs. Cook‘s words, his expression immediately turned frosty. “Louis, please help Mrs. Cook out of the house right now.”
Louis quickly entered through the door. “Mrs. Cook, this
way, please,” he said, respectfully.
Mrs. Cook could not quite handle Terry, let alone convince him. She still felt Adina‘s hostility very vividly. She could not remain in the dining hall any longer.
