Gwyn say "Daddy."

And it sounded as sweet as when she said “Mommy.”

Evelyn's voice cracked as she said, “My baby girl, I'll take you to meet your daddy as soon as he's back!"

Gwyn clapped her hands again, and Evelyn laughed along with her daughter. She couldn't wait for Sheffield to come back.

In the Thompson family

Peterson opened the door to the room with his coat in hand. Hearing the sound, Lea quickly wiped her eyes.

Her action did not escape Peterson's notice.

"What happened?"

Lea took out a tissue and wiped her eyes again. Then she turned around and said, "Nothing. You're back." He could tell from her red eyes that she had been crying for a while.

“Did someone upset you? Who was it?" Peterson's face darkened. He handed his coat to her.

His breath smelled Like alcohol. Obviously, he had just come back from a business dinner.

Although the company was handed over to Sheffield, he was still a major shareholder and had to attend various social activities.

Lea shook her head and said in a soft voice, "No one. Go take a shower!" Peterson frowned. She Looked very upset.

“Tell me." The man's voice allowed no space for argument.

Biting her lower lip, Lea spoke hesitantly.

“Well, Gillian and I ran into Sheffield and Evelyn at the menswear fashion show held by Hilton

Group today."

Peterson had heard that Sheffield had modeled that afternoon. How could he not know? By now, everyone in Alorith knew.

If Sheffield had done it for any other woman, he would have exploded with rage. But this was for Evelyn, Carlos' daughter. So, he had done everything he could to keep his anger under control.

“Go on.”

“Naturally, Gillian and I went over to greet them. Since we are going to be a family soon, I thought it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with them."

“That's the right thing to do."

“And as you know, Gillian is Sheffield's ex-girlfriend. Evelyn hates her and even threatened to fire her. Gillian was mad and argued with her. Evelyn threatened that if she couldn't marry into the Thompson family because of Gillian, then she would make sure that Gillian would never be able to marry anyone in her life! And she even called Gillian a...a fly! They were bullying us!"

Peterson wasn't interested in conflicts between women. He asked patiently, “What was Sheffield doing while all this happened

"I was really hurt by Sheffield. He not only refused to acknowledge me as his stepmother, but also said that he didn't care about Gillian.
