Chapter 298 Only One Dad Alston was thinking about Gregâs words when he suddenly felt a pain in his calf. He looked down and saw Desmond look angry.
His chubby face was tense, and his eyes were full of disappointment.
âYou picked on mom, didnât you? I just saw mom crying. Bad guy, you made mom cry.â
Keller stood behind Desmond, looking at him timidly with tears streaming down her face. âI donât want a bad guy to be my father.
You made my mother cry.â
Alston looked at the vigilant look of the two kids and thought about what they said that Cynthia was crying. He couldnât help but feel an ache in his heart.
He squatted down, with a handsome face full of apology, and held Keller and Desmond into his arms.
Desmondâs body tensed up, but he didnât refuse. As soon as Alston hugged Keller, she couldnât help hugging his neck and crying out of breath.
âDad, donât be angry at mom in the future. Donât make mom cry. Okay? Mom is so tired... She is pretty good! How could you yell at her?â
Hearing his daughterâs choking voice, Alston felt sad and replied solemnly in a hoarse voice, âUm, I promise I wonât be angry at mom and wonât make her cry.â
Seeing that Alston wasnât lying, Desmond relaxed his tight body, put his arms around Alstonâs neck, and whispered in his ear, âDad, I know why you are angry at mom!â
Alston looked at his son.
Seeing Alston looking at him, Desmond bit his lower lip. âWhen Uncle Jakson came over, you were upset. Are you upset because Keller and I like him?â
Surprise flashed in Alstonâs eyes. During the past few days of getting along, he did find his son was more mature, but he did not expect him to observe so detailedly..
âYes, Iâm jealous because you and Keller are not enthusiastic about me. Iâm reflecting on whether you donât like me because I havenât watched you two grow over the past three years.â
âNo!â As soon as Alston finished speaking, Keller raised her head from his embrace, with a blushed face from crying and watery eyes which resembled Cynthiaâs, looking pitiful and cute.
âDad, I like you very much. When you come back, I donât know how happy I am,â Keller said with exaggerated gestures, wanting to express her love for Alston.
âOther children said I donât have a father. I want a father even in my dreams. Now, I have a father. I... Iâm really, really happy! So much happiness.â
â
Keller opened her arms exaggeratedly, trying to show Alston her happiness and liking for him.
Alston couldnât hold back and kissed her chubby face. âI like you very much, too.â
Keller blushed shyly, and she crossed her fingers tightly.
Seeing her move, Desmond bit his lower lip and muttered, âKeller is so stupid.â
Seeing his Desmondâs reserved look, Alston also kissed his cheek. Desmond didnât expect Alston to do this, and his handsome chubby blushed like a tomato.
It took a long time for Desmond to recover. Then he grabbed Alstonâs clothes and said solemnly, âMom is depressed now. Dad, you have to make mom happy because you are the one who made mom cry.â
âOkay, I see!â Alston patted his head, thinking about how to apologize to Cynthia.
Desmond saw Keller was sleepy, so he took her hand to go back to the room to sleep. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said to Alston.
âDad, although Keller and I like Uncle Jakson very much, there can be many Uncle Jakson, and you are my only father.â
âYes, yes. You are our only father,â Keller said and nodded.
After speaking, Desmond blushed, took Kellerâs hand, and quickly ran back to the room.
Alston watched the two small figures disappear and felt a warm stream flowing through his heart, almost making his tears well up.
Alston felt his children were so good, so sensible, and so lovely.
The feelings in Alstonâs eyes hadnât been utterly expressed yet, but Alston suddenly heard a burst of sobbing from behind. He turned around and saw Greg crying with a relieved look.
Alston suddenly didnât know how to react. âGreg, you...â
âDesmond and Keller are so cute.â Greg wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and was very touched. He didnât expect two three-
yearâold children would say such touching words.
Seeing Greg crying so exaggeratedly, Alston successfully fought back his tears.
âGreg, I will go out for a while. Let someone take good care of Cynthia.â
Greg calmed down and nodded quickly. âDonât worry, Mr. Smith. I will take good care of Mrs. Smith.â
Alston nodded, turned around, and walked out the door.
After everyone in the living room left, Gigi came out, and her eyes were full of resentment and gloom. She went straight to the stairs. Just as she was about to go upstairs, a maid walked in, saw her move, and quickly stepped forward to grab her arm.
The maid looked anxious. âMiss Arnett, sorry. Mrs. Smith said, except for Joyce and the others, we are not allowed to go to the second floor.â
Gigi gritted her teeth hard and managed a timid smile. âI know, but Iâm leaving this afternoon, and I want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to Mrs. Smith.â
Her face was full of gratitude, and the maid did not suspect her and continued to ask, âMrs. Smith said she wanted to see you?â
âHow is this possible?â
Gigi thought angrily, âCynthia couldnât wait to drive me out. How could she be willing to see me now?â
A few days ago, Alston didnât ask her to leave the Smith family. Today they just went out for a while and then suddenly let her live in another place, so Gigi didnât believe Cynthia didnât intervene in this matter.
But when the maid asked, Gigi did not refute and nodded slightly.
Only then did the maid let go of her hand. âThen you go up. Iâll go out to work first.â
After speaking, she left quickly.
Gigi was overjoyed. Seeing that there was no one else around, she quickly went upstairs. The space on the second floor was bigger and more luxurious than she had imagined.
She looked around and saw the open cloakroom next to her. She only glanced at the door, and all kinds of bigâname clothes, expensive bags, and beautiful shoes came into her view.
Gigi felt her eyes dazzle. She thought it was so good to be Mrs. Smith, who could have many things.
She was amazed, but when she thought all these things belonged to Cynthia, she instantly became jealous.
âWhy can Cynthia have these things? I have lived at the Smithâs house for so many days, but I got nothing. I can only stay in such a small place. Why is it so unfair?â Gigi couldnât help but keep asking in her heart.
As she thought about it, she went into the cloakroom, looking at Cynthiaâs various clothes and accessories with joy and curiosity.
She even touched the one she liked a lot, but she didnât have the guts to take them away, so she could only look enviously.
When she reached the end, she looked up, and a dreamy purple dress came into her view.
This glance almost made her forget to breathe.
The dress was so beautiful and unique. Gigi didnât live a rich life since she was a child. She only saw the dresses worn by female stars in the news or videos and had never seen a dress in person, especially such a beautiful dress.
The dress was layers upon layers of deep and light purple, which looked dreamlike and beautiful, not bulky.
âThis is simply a dress worn by a princess,â Gigi muttered with eyes full of obsession.
She didnât see many things, but she could tell at a glance that this dress was not cheap. The countless handâinlaid diamonds on the skirt alone cost a lot of money.
Gigi was so jealous. This dress was purposely hung up and placed in a glass cabinet, distinguishing it from other dresses.
She didnât know much, but she could recognize a few dresses that cost tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands which were randomly hung together. She didnât know how much this dress that was hung alone cost.
Just as she was thinking, a cold voice suddenly came from the door. âGigi, who allows you to go up to the second floor?â
Gigiâs heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head quickly. When she met Cynthiaâs red and cold eyes, she was startled and.
said quickly, âI... I... Iâm here to say goodbye to you. Iâll leave this afternoon, and I am very grateful that you arranged for someone to take care of me for so many days... So..â
An inveterate liar.
Cynthia looked her up and down and sneered, âGigi, can you tell the truth? There is no one else here, so you donât have to be so hypocritical. I donât like you from the beginning, I treat you not well these days, so I donât believe you would specifically express gratitude to me. To be honest, what is your purpose?â
