As Blake walked over, I hurriedly chased after him and ran towards my daughter.
Hedwig was walking in bare feet with a violet garland in her hand and smiling brightly, just like an angel.
“Mommy…” Hedwig, who was having a good time, beamed at me and ran over when she saw me.
Blake involuntarily slowed his stride as Hedwig called out to me and trotted toward me. I glanced at him and was delighted to see the disappointment on his face.
Blake did overplay his hand. How would he be more important than me in Hedwig’s heart?
When Hedwig got something good, she would definitely first show it to
her favorite person.
me,
“Slow down…” I was worried that Hedwig would fall as I watched her rush over with her short legs.
As expected, I was right about my daughter. Hedwig overestimated herself and fell to the sand as she was running.
The butler was trying his best to save her, but he was too late.
“Hedwig…” Blake dashed forward again as he saw Hedwig fall.
I also freaked out. When I arrived in front of Hedwig, the butler had helped her up.
Hedwig’s pretty face was covered with sand.
Fortunately, she closed her eyes when she fell. Thus, her eyes didn’t get
hurt.
“Mommy… There is a lot of sand on my face!” Hedwig closed her eyes tightly and cried.
The butler paled and said worriedly, “Ms. Wyatt, let’s take the Princess to wash her face.”
Blake also ran over and squatted beside us. Seeing that Hedwig was crying, he was very anxious.
He wanted to wipe away Hedwig’s tears, but I slapped his hand away on purpose. Instantly, he shot me a glare.
I ignored his angry look and held my daughter, following the butler to the small villa by the lake.
As I walked, I comforted my daughter, “Hedwig, don’t open your eyes now. Just close them. Otherwise, the sand will get into your eyes and hurt your eyes.”
“OK. Mommy, where is Daddy?” asked Hedwig.
“Hedwig, Daddy is here. Don’t be afraid. Your face will be clean soon.” Blake, walking beside us, replied in a low voice.
“Daddy, don’t leave us and Mommy again, okay?” Hedwig’s voice was full of expectation.
Blake was slightly shocked and then stared at me, yet I looked away to avoid his deep eyes.
“Okay, Daddy promises that I will take good care of you in the future.” Blake pinched Hedwig’s face.
A while later, we reached the small villa by the lake. Although it wasn’t as large as the villa on the mountainside, this villa was two stories high.
I carried Hedwig to the bathroom and washed her face with water.
Although her face was clean, there were a few small wounds on her face. Luckily, they were not bleeding.
The butler kept apologizing to Blake. “King Blake, please punish me. I didn’t take good care of the Princess. I won’t be so careless anymore. From now on. I will try my best to take care of the Princess.”
“Dowen, it doesn’t matter. I didn’t blame you. Just be careful next time.” Blake said soothingly to the butler.
I walked out of the bathroom with Hedwig in my arms.
Then Blake quickly stepped over. When he saw the wounds on Hedwig’s pretty face, he revealed a guilty look.
“Mommy, Daddy is so handsome!” Hedwig whispered in my ear.
“Seriously? He isn’t even half as handsome as your brother.” I snorted disdainfully.
‘So what if he is handsome? Will he give the kids to me if I admit that he is handsome?‘
“Noah is a handsome boy, and Daddy is a handsome man!” Hedwig said with a happy smile.
“Hedwig, go to find your brother. Then let’s go home. Mabel made favorite food!” I said to my daughter gently.
your
Before Hedwig could say something, Blake said, “Dowen, go to make some Disco Fries. Hedwig has been playing for a long time, and she might be hungry now.”
Disco Fries were fried fries in a sauce of meat juice, cheese, and other ingredients. It was a common snack in New Jersey.
Actually. Hedwig liked Disco Fries very much. But I wouldn’t allow her to eat too much because it was fried food.
I looked at Blake in surprise. Why did he always antagonize me?
As I expected. Hedwig’s eyes lit up when she heard the word “Disco Fries“.
She cheered and said, “Wow! Mommy, did you hear that? Daddy is going to prepare Disco Fries. Can I have some?”
I glared at Blake fiercely. ‘Hedwig can never resist delicious food. How could he tempt her with delicacies? Blake is a bastard!”
Blake ignored me and looked at Hedwig, replying in a gentle tone, “Hedwig, the Disco Fries are for you. Of course, you can eat it. Do you want anything else? Daddy will ask Dowen to prepare it too.”
“Yeah! I also want cheesesteak, crab cake, ice cream, and hamburgers!”
These foods were all the local delicacies in different states, and Hedwig knew them from the TV.
Usually, I wouldn’t buy her such food.
“That’s enough, Hedwig!” I said in an authoritative voice.
Hedwig was frightened by my serious look and pouted.
“How can you be so strict with Hedwig? She is just a kid. Why can’t she eat her favorite food?”
“Daddy…” Hedwig looked at Blake for help.
I glared at Hedwig. She was a clever girl. Although she always wore a
silly grin on her face, she had an agile mind in fact.
“Daddy, hug me…” Hedwig opened her small arms and stared at Blake.
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes because Blake bought Hedwig off just with some food.
Blake held Hedwig in his arms and couldn’t help but kiss her cute face.
Hedwig wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.
I had planned to spank Hedwig.
However, I couldn’t do it now.
I had never seen my daughter trust a man so much so that she held him close. In the past, some of my male friends would also hold her, but Hedwig would be vigilant and defensive. This was the first time that she had been so at ease in a man’s arms.
And the man was her daddy.
I suddenly felt angry and sad when I found my daughter letting her guard down.
It was as if the most valuable thing to me was going to be taken by someone else, but I couldn’t do anything.
I felt upset and glum. I hated such feelings.
I thought that I should snatch my daughter back from Blake’s arms. Moreover, I should get her and Noah out of here and keep Blake away from the kids.
However, I didn’t have the courage to take my daughter back.
