Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 139

Nell was not going to wait by the door after giving out instructions.

Therefore, she brought Lizzy to the dressing room backstage.

It was coincidentally time for intermission. Since there were two minutes left for the break, Daniel who had come down from the stage retrieved a bottle of water and began quenching his thirst.

His eyes widened with disbelief when Nell came walking in with a little girl in her arms. The little girl kept calling her mommy in a sweet voice.

“Um, Nell, please don’t tell me that this is your child? I heard that you’re married but I have no idea about a child?”

Nell returned the question with a cold hard stare. “I wouldn’t think you’ve lost your voice if you kept your mouth shut.”

“Hey, but honestly, where did you find this little dumpling?”

Nell placed the “little dumpling” down on a chair and instructed one of the staff to purchase the kid’s favorite drink before providing the man an explanation. “Somehow, both of us kept bumping into each other. She was lost both times when I found her. Well, I can’t leave her alone by herself. I already ordered the staff to look for her parents but decided to bring her in here in the meantime.”

Daniel was astonished.

“But why does she call you mommy?” he pressed further.

Nell did not know what to reply.

She had no idea why the little dumpling kept calling her mommy since the first time they met. The endearment stuck until now!

Left with no other alternative, she knelt to the ground to be on eye level with Lizzy. She regarded the little girl in the eyes.

“Lizzy, can you call me by another name?”

Confused, Lizzy blinked back her glistening eyes innocently. “But why?”

“Well, it’s because I’m not your mommy. Besides, your actual mommy will be heartbroken to hear that! You don’t wish that upon your mommy, right?”

Lizzy pouted her tiny lips.

“But I don’t have an actual mommy!”

Nell was stunned.

Even Daniel was at a loss for words.

No one expected this cute little dumpling to not have a mother.

Nell felt as if her heart had been punched by a powerful fist.

Immediately, she leaned in to embrace the little dumpling who appeared on the verge of crying. She patted the girl on her back gently and comforted. “Good Lizzy, please don’t cry. I’m sorry. Lizzy can call me whatever you like, okay? It’s fine.”

Lizzy sobbed before extending her fleshy palms to dab those nonexistent tears. She regarded Nell pitifully.

“I’ll not call you mommy anymore. What about aunt?”

Nell nodded frantically.

“Yes, of course.”

A smile washed over Daniel’s face. “Such an adorable child. If I hadn’t known better, you both do look alike based on your appearances. You should take her as your goddaughter, seeing as she fancies you so much.”

Nell glared at the man.

“Enough!”

Although she adored Lizzy too, she was not familiar with the girl’s family. This sort of arrangement had to be agreed upon by both parties, especially Lizzy’s parents.

Daniel smiled without commenting further. He bent over to play with Lizzy.

“Darling, do you know who I am?”

Lizzy tilted her head sideways and blinked as she studied Daniel.

“I’ve seen you before, Elder Brother Daniel.”
