Henry put on a serious look and stared at Angel with a loving gaze. "I never said I didn’t want you. Ever since I learned that you were my daughter, I immediately came to pick you up so I could welcome you to my place."
"Did you tell Mommy that I'm your daughter?" Angel asked.
"I did, but she wouldn't believe it." Henry answered.
Henry did tell Monique, but she did not take it seriously.
"Did you show her the DNA test?" Angel was confident that her foolish mother would never believe it without any proof, especially when dealing with filthy rich men like Henry.
Angel knew her mother always went for the options that kept her on the safe end.
Angel blinked. "Please promise me, Daddy, that you'll protect Mommy for life. Can you keep that promise?"
Henry frowned, looking at Angel's earnest eyes. He wanted to protect Monique forever, but that could only be done if Monique was willing.
However, Monique kept taking all measures to stay away from Henry.
Henry continued looking at Angel, who suddenly became quiet, but only for a very brief moment as she thought in her mind, 'Daddy can't even promise me that?
'Even if Daddy's not willing to protect Mommy, I'll always be with her.'
Henry finally answered after some time, "I can only promise you if Mommy is willing.”
'So Mommy doesn’t want him to protect her?'
Angel frowned. "Does it mean that you’re both arguing?"
Henry helplessly nodded. "You can take it that way."
"I want to call Mommy. If you don't let me call her, I won't go home with you." Angel stared at Henry, determined.
Angel had a feeling that she had to ensure her mother’s safety.
