The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 664

“Then why did you lie and say you did?”

“Do you lie every day?”

Kristin wanted to cry, but she bit her lip and held it back. Just then, the teacher asked all the students and parents to return to their seats, announcing that the guessing game was over.

“I haven't had my turn yet. Why is it over?”

With that casual question, a coolly confident Marico walked in. He was wearing black casual pants and a black leather jacket, his hair slicked back. Paired with his ridiculously handsome and sharp features, he was utterly eye-catching.

The female teacher stared for a moment. “Excuse me, which child's parent are you?”

Marico's eyes scanned the room, landing on Kristin in the corner. He gave her a wink.

“Who stuck my daughter in the corner?”

The teacher glanced at Kristin. “Oh, so you're Kristin's parent.”

Although she was angry, Kristin ran over to him when she saw him.

“Why are you so late?”

Marico cleared his throat. “It’s impossible to find. I got delayed.”

“You're still late!”

“Fine, I'm late. I apologize.”

Kristin was easy to appease. Hearing Marico's apology, her anger vanished. She immediately demanded that the teacher let them play the guessing game.

The game started, and Kristin got right into it, quickly acting out the word for Marico.

Watching her shake her head and wiggle around, Marico found her utterly adorable. But his mischievous streak got the better of him, and he deliberately gave wrong answers. He watched Kristin get so flustered she was scratching her head. The more he got wrong, the more agitated she became, until her face, nose, and eyes were all red with frustration.

“You're doing that on purpose! I'm getting angry!” Kristin shouted.

Seeing that she was on the verge of real tears, Marico quickly gave a correct answer. Kristin's mood instantly shifted from stormy to sunny, and she beamed with delight.

After that, Marico started answering seriously. He couldn't understand why he was playing such a boring game with a little girl.

“Wow, you're so smart, sir!”

“You... you are!”

Marico paused. “What makes you think I'm your dad?”

Kristin's expression turned serious. “One time, I heard Mommy talking to Penelope. It turns out Mommy was married before, and she got divorced after she got pregnant with me. So my dad is Mommy's ex-husband.”

“So?”

“My dad is in Orenth.”

“I'm not the only man in Orenth.”

“But you and Mommy know each other. You two fight whenever you meet, so you must know each other well. And you saved me, and you've helped us a few times. So you must be my daddy.”

Marico clicked his tongue. “So that's your analysis.”

He was about to explain to Kristin that her analysis was wrong, but then he saw Hamilton glaring at him from a short distance away. An idea to mess with him popped into his head.

“Hey, you're pretty smart. I am your dad!”
