Chapter 332 How Much Does This Hurt?
The first time, Gilbert did not respond to the poke. Ada looked back at Kisa, who grinned at her, signaling her to continue and mouthing the word “come on.” Ada had no choice but to poke at Gilbert again.
“You know you are wrong, don’t you?” Gilbert finally turned around. He stared down at Ada with a frown.
Ada quickly nodded. “Daddy, I’m sorry. I won’t go stray again, and from now on, I will tell everyone where I am going and will not make everyone worry anymore. Please don’t be angry with Ma’am and me anymore, okay?”
Gilbert said nothing, just stared at Ada. Just when he knew Ada was missing, he was so panicked that he did not know what to do. But he felt Kisa did not seem to be worried at all. He got angry at the thought of this. He did not think Kisa was a qualified mother. While having this thought in mind, someone crashed into his arms—it was
Ada.
“Daddy, don’t be angry, okay?” Ada tugged at the corner of his coat, hoping he would crouch down. Gilbert stubbed out his cigarette and squatted down, and she planted a big kiss on his cheek. “I love daddy the most. Daddy is the best. Don’t get angry with me, okay?”
Even if Gilbert had a heart of steel, he crumpled as soon as Ada used her puppy dog eyes on him. She was too
adorable. At last, a smile finally appeared on Gilbert’s face. He hugged Ada and said in an unprecedentedly gentle voice, “Don’t make me angry again, and don’t stray, or I will die worrying about you.”
“Okay. I will never do that again.”
Kisa gazed at the father and daughter embracing each other and at the tenderness on Gilbert’s face. Her eyes welled up involuntarily when she thought of her own child. ‘If my child were still here and used her puppy dog eyes on him as Ada did, would he love her like he loved Ada?‘ Unfortunately, there were never any what–ifs in this world, and this question would never be answered either.
