Iris chuckled upon hearing that. “That’s not your daddy, Evie! It’d be great if he were, though!”
Zoey sighed. “Let’s not joke about the God of War, Iris. He’s no ordinary human. He’s a god.”
“Oh, wasn’t Evie’s first word ‘daddy’? You really worked hard on that.”
Iris remembered how Zoey had taught the child to say ‘daddy’ first instead of ‘mommy’.
That was why Forlevia’s very first word was ‘daddy’.
Iris gazed at Zoey sternly. “Zoey, I know you still love Levi, but you have to accept how things are now. Even if he’s still alive, he probably won’t come back. Who knows, he might have even followed his dad’s footsteps and found himself another wife. It’s not impossible.”
Thump.
Zoey’s heart sank.
There was certainly a possibility.
This was what Tyrone did, after all.
It wasn’t unusual if his son did the same.
“You’ve been shouldering everything on your own. The burden’s just too heavy! You’re still young, so I suggest you find another man to walk the path with you for the rest of your life. Evie needs a father too,” Iris said earnestly.
Zoey disagreed. “Let’s not talk about this anymore, Iris. Besides, I have a child now. Who would ever want me?”
Iris was amused. “Oh, please, Zoey. Don’t you have lots of men chasing after you? They don’t care if you have Evie! Who would say no to you anyway, considering who you are right now? You’re not lacking in any aspect!”
Suddenly, Zoey recalled how her godfather, Dale, wanted to get her married.
The man treated her and Forlevia so well that Zoey didn’t know how to turn this matter down.
“Mr. Lehman likes you a lot, Zoey, so he’ll definitely find you a good husband. Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be happy. The guy he’s picked out will be here in North Hampton tomorrow. Why don’t you give it a thought after meeting him?” Iris smiled.
Zoey let out a sigh. “I guess I’ll do that.”
However, she had no other intention on this.
