Crystal's POV:
A tiny girl in a blue skirt affectionately called Rufus "Daddy" as she clung to his leg.
Rufus lifted Beryl up helplessly and said gently, "You're always sprinting around. Aren't you afraid of falling?"
Beryl wrapped her arms around Rufus' neck and pressed her cheek on his, saying, "No. I have magic."
Looking at this warm scene, I couldn't help but feel envious.
My baby Beryl used to rush to me and hug me whenever she saw me in the past! Now she just ignored me!
I was crying frantically in my heart. I also wanted her to snuggle up to me and rest her face against mine. I also wanted to hold my lovely baby girl!
As Rufus lifted Beryl with his back against me, I glared at him, wishing I was the one carrying Beryl.
At this moment, Rufus turned around and happened to catch my resentful eyes. He laughed and asked Beryl, "Do you still remember who she is, Beryl?"
Rufus pointed at me and said arrogantly with his eyes, "See? Your daughter doesn't even recognize you, but she is so willing to call me Daddy."
A frown formed on my face, and I shot him a stare of anger. Then, I walked up and waved at
Beryl, "Sweetheart, I'm your Mommy."
However, I didn't expect that Beryl would lean her head against Rufus' shoulder, showing resistance.
I was so frustrated that I didn't dare to get close to Beryl anymore.
"The first time my mother came to visit, Beryl also rejected her. But after knowing she was my mother and seeing how close we were, the girl just changed her mind."
After a brief pause, Rufus added, "Maybe we can have a try."
With my eyes widened from surprise, I muttered, "You mean that..."
