Chapter 192 Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
When he heard her voice, Sean’s heart had melted. He bent down, reached out, and took Phyllis into his embrace. He held her tightly, smiling, and asked, “Did you ever miss me?”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Yes!”
Phyllis hugged Sean’s neck, excitedly saying, “Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, and I, we all missed you so much!”
“Especially Mom!”
“Mom missed you so much that she cried a lot, but I didn’t!”
“I remember the stories you used to tell me. You said I must learn to be strong. I’m not three years old anymore, so I need to be strong and protect Mom!”
“If I cry, Mom will be even sadder…”
There was a touch of stubbornness and persistence in Phyllis’s slightly immature voice. Sean gently stroked her back, smiling, “What a good girl.”
Cecelia walked over, and when she heard Phyllis’s words, she couldn’t help but giggle. So who was it that had kept sobbing and calling for her father even in her dreams at night…
“Of course!”
Phyllis proudly puffed out her cheeks. She leaned in close to Sean’s ear and whispered, “I have a secret to tell you, okay?”
“Oh?”
Sean was taken aback and asked, “What is it? Tell me.”
Phyllis lowered her voice, and with great seriousness, said, “While you were away, I made a very, very important decision!”
“I’ve decided!”
“When you come back, I want you to be my dad!”
“Is that okay?”
As she spoke, the warm and moist breath from Phyllis’s mouth constantly blew on his ear, and her childish voice lingered in his ear. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of mixed emotions, and his eyes became slightly moist.
“Is that okay?”
She sounded so expectant!
“Yeah!”
“Of course!”
He pulled Phyllis away from his chest, stared into her innocent eyes, and nodded solemnly, “You’ve always been my daughter, and I’ve always been your dad!”
“Real daughter! Real dad!”
After all, Phyllis was still too young, and it seemed Cecelia hadn’t told her his true identity.
But that didn’t matter!
What was important was that Phyllis had accepted him as her father from the bottom of her heart!
“I just knew it!”
Phyllis’s smile bloomed like a flower. She proudly said, “When you told me those stories, I knew you wanted to be my dad.”
“Giggle, giggle…”
With a burst of silver-bell-like laughter, Phyllis was held in Sean’s arms, and suddenly stretched out her right hand, and held his neck again, “A promise is a promise. You can’t go back on your words.”
Sean immediately nodded, “Yes, I promise.”
“Yay!”
Phyllis clenched her little fists excitedly, waving them a few times, then she puckered her lips. Smack! With a crisp sound, she fiercely planted a kiss on Sean’s face.
She laughed, “Stamped, and in effect!”
“Smack!”
Sean, stunned for a moment, also landed a kiss on Phyllis’s face and nodded, “Stamped, and in effect! You cannot go back on your words either!”
Phyllis immediately shouted, “Daddy!”
“Eh!”
Sean instantly replied.
“Daddy!”
“Eh!”
“Daddy!”
“Eh!”
“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…”
She was so happy. And her delicate tiny mouth gave him a straight bombarding of “Daddys.” It seemed as if she wanted to shout just as many times as any girl her age would deserve when they had a father since she had never had such a chance before today!
She wanted to shout it out loud!
Sean was also overjoyed! Today was the happiest day in his life!
Meanwhile, Cecelia stood to the side, silently watching the incredibly heartwarming scene before her. Before she could even realize it, her tears had welled up in her eyes, wetting her cheeks. She had mixed emotions and didn’t know what to say!
After wriggling in Sean’s arms for quite a while, Phyllis was finally willing to get down. She held Sean’s hand with one hand and Cecelia’s with the other, smiling, “Mom, I have a dad now!”
“Having a dad feels so good!”
Cecelia quietly reached out with her other hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
“Little Fatty, I have a dad now!”
“Look, he’s my dad. I didn’t lie to you guys. My dad is a super invincible hero; he’s really amazing.”
“Lee, I have a dad now!”
“Mr. Dickson, I have a dad now!”
“…”
On the way out of the kindergarten, Phyllis was exuberant, introducing Sean to everyone she met. She wished the whole world knew that starting today, she was no longer a fatherless child!
She had a dad now!
And just as she had thought and said before, her dad was a super invincible hero!
She could never brag enough about her father…
…
At that time, in the Garden Community,
Matthew was sitting in his wheelchair, with Marcia pushing him from behind. The two of them had come downstairs to pick up Phyllis from kindergarten, but as soon as they stepped out of the stairwell, they ran into Debbie and Chloe.
There was also a young man around Chloe’s age.
Debbie walked in front, and Chloe was following behind her arm in arm with the young man. The two seemed very close, probably in the midst of a passionate romance.
“Oh, isn’t this Marcia?”
As Debbie saw Marcia and Matthew approaching, her eyes lit up. Smiling, she asked, “What are you going to do?”
“We’re going to pick up Phyllis from school.”
Marcia didn’t even stop and just casually replied.
“Oh right, it’s almost time.”
Debbie laughed and said, “What a pitiful child. She finally got a father, and such a wealthy and powerful one at that. But happiness is short-lived. That young master died just for no reason.”
“Sigh…”
She pretended to shake her head and sigh, putting on a sad face, and then continued, “Maybe that’s the fate of Cecelia and Phyllis! All the men close to them seem to be cursed.”
“Finding another good husband like Mr. Mason might not be easy for her in the future.”
Debbie was a typical snob. When everyone thought Sean was a rapist, and he got engaged to Cecelia, she had already said enough mocking words to them. Later, when everyone finally knew Sean’s identity as the young master of the Mason family, she couldn’t wait to approach and flatter them!
But now!
With Sean “murdered” in Crane Town, she naturally saw no need to continue flattering Marcia and Matthew. She felt that everything had returned to normal, so at this moment, when she saw Marcia, her long-extinguished sense of superiority was reignited!
Little did she know that dozens of luxury cars were on their way to pick up Marcia and Matthew…
