Upon entering the office, he gave him a big surprise.
Jarvis scrutinized Elinor's face, stepping back and then going forward. "She was Quincy in miniature. How can I make a mistake? When do you become so kind to raise kids for others?"
Dixon held Elinor back, afraid that she would be fearful of Jarvis. "Watch out your speech. What if you scared her?"
Elinor also grasped his sleeves, asking timidly, "Dad, who is this uncle?"
Hearing her sweet voice, he teased, "What a cute girl! I fancy this kind of girls, can you come back with me tonight? "
He scared her to hide herself behind Dixon. Dixon frowned at him. "Fuck it. You deserve to be dumped by Queenie."
"What can I expect from a dog is a bark." Jarvis was angry at Dixon's sarcasm. He was not usually talkative, but once he open his mouth, he always sneered at others. "It's so funny of you raising daughter for your rival in love." "You even shamelessly let her call you Dad." ...
"She's Maria's daughter."
Dixon took a deep breath to stop quarreling with Jarvis. "I don't know whose daughter she is. In short, she is not mine, and Maria cheated me."
"Wow! How can you tolerate this?" Jarvis cast a glance at Elinor. "She's at such a tender age, with blue gray eyes. Is she biracial?" "You can ask for a hair from Quincy to have a check."
He added, "Anyway, I think they look similar."
Dixon lapsed into the silence.
Elinor clutched Dixon's hand tightly. "Dad... will you send me away?"
He looked down at her. "You know I am not your biological father."
Dixon went back to his table decently, as if he didn't hear Jarvis' threat at all. He still smiled enigmatically, stopping everyone to step into his heart.
He knocked on the table twice. "Get to the point. What are you doing here?"
"Are you sure it's okay for this girl to listen?" Jarvis pointed to Elinor, and his behavior made her hide back.
"Never mind." He had a look at her. "I believe her."
Seeing that Dixon didn't care, Jarvis also sat down and took a sip of water. "The Jungle was in chaos."
Dixon was ready for a surprising news, but he didn't expect that Jarvis would speak out it so straightforwardly. He avoided meeting his eyes, asking, "What's the matter?"
