Brodie came back very early that night.
Steve had some news for him and told him over the phone, "She already arrived. But Jessica was sent away, so she can't stop crying."
Brodie rushed home nonstop.
The little girl sat on the sofa in the living room with her legs crossed. She wore her hair in a tall ponytail. Her face was chubby. She was in a white dress. She had fair skin and looked amazingly cute.
The little girl saw Brodie.
She blinked her watery eyes and asked, "Are you Dad?"
Brodie was stunned. Her straightforwardness was totally out of expectation. He said in a gentle voice, squatting down to look at her eyes, "How do you know?"
Cindy stretched out her fair and tender hand and touched Brodie's head. "Wow, you're much more handsome than the photos Luna hid. Of course, I know you're my father!"
After saying that, she pouted and said, "Well, I know that you're not good to Luna. You made her raise me alone. She is very pitiful abroad. She has many jobs at one time. To support me, granny Jessica always asks Luna for money. You don't even care about me and Luna!"
The baby voice was adorable. Although there was slight accusation, the soft tone melted his heart.
Brodie wanted to maintain some pride in front of his daughter, though for the sake of not losing face, he could only apologize and say, "I'm sorry."
He was sorry.
