Chapter 124: I Want Father to Hug Me
Warner’s expressions turned even colder because he didn’t like Maria to give him the condition, “Don’t
forget that you’re the culprit of all these. So originally you should bear the responsibility to solve all
these. Now you use it as your chip to bargain with me? If dad knows about it, he will be very angry."
Maria curled her lips into a smile, “Warner, I guess you’re afraid that I’ll steal your thunder, right?"
“What a joke." Warner felt bothered to talk with her, “Is it that easy to get Matthew’s soft spot? If you
have a chip, you can just threaten him to marry you. Why did you plan all those things? Could it be that
you’re insane?"
Warner had calmed down himself now and he didn’t believe that Maria had gotten Matthew’s soft spot.
If she had a chip, she could directly threaten Matthew to marry her. Why would they cancel the
engagement and cased all these troubles.
“You’re the insane one." Maria was angered, “Originally I want to help you. But since you don’t give a
shit to it, then don’t blame me for standing aside."
She turned around and went upstairs after finishing the words.
Warner sneered, “Just stay at home obediently, and don’t anger dad."
Camilla happened to walk out from the bedroom. When hearing that Warner was shouting loudly, she
reprimanded him at a low voice, “Your dad has been in a bad mood in these two days, so don’t talk
loudly at home in case that will anger him."
She had exerted great forces to console him and let him stay in the bedroom to have a rest.
“I see." Warner walked into his bedroom to change clothes. He took out his clothes from the closet, but
he was not in a hurry to change them; instead, he sat down onto the sofa, produced his phone to find
out Abbott’s phone number and gave him a phone call.
He cleared his throat and pondered what he should say when the call was received. Apparently, he
contacted Abbott at this juncture because of the news, so Abbott might not be willing to receive the
phone call, or he might refuse to meet him.
Abbott didn’t pick up the phone call until the ringtone was over. Grasping the phone, Warner was not
discouraged. Instead, he put down his phone, unbuttoned his suit jacket and then walked into the
bathroom. After taking a bath, he changed his clothes and went out.
Maria, who was standing by a window of the second floor, pushed aside the curtain with one hand and
watched Warner driving out of the mansion from the back gate.
No matter whether Matthew loved her or not, no one could deny that since she had been by his side for
so long, she knew him quite well and was confident that Matthew would definitely refuse to meet
Warner.
Maria curled up her lips, “Brother, I’ve given you a chance, but you didn’t seize it. Then don’t blame
me."
She produced her phone and sent a video to Matthew’s phone as well as his private e-mail in case that
he would not notice it.
In the villa...
Coral cooked a table of dishes as if they were celebrating a festival.
Jessica helped her serve rice and Simona was playing in the living room alone. Samuel was still in his
bedroom, refusing to go out. He said he looked ugly now and refused to see anyone.
Two streaks of white light streamed into the villa - a black car was coming from outside. Soon, Dolores
and Matthew got off the car and walked into the villa together.
When Simona heard the sound of door opening, she hurriedly raised her head from sofa and looked
towards the door. When she saw the man who was coming in, her eyes lit up.
Samuel had told her that this man was their father.
She swiftly slid down from the sofa and ran towards the door with her short legs. Dolores thought that
she was coming to welcome her, so she squatted down and prepared to hug her, “Simona."
Nevertheless, Simona didn’t jump into her embrace; instead, she stopped in front of Matthew, raised
her head, blinked her eyes and fixed her eyes on the tall man. He was so tall and so handsome.
“Daddy."
Both Dolores and Matthew were rendered speechless.
“Daddy." Simona reached out to hug Matthew’s leg, “Daddy, carry me."
Dolores coaxed her, “Simona, be obedient, come to mummy."
Simona shook her head, “I want daddy to carry me."
Dolores felt both awkward and distressed. Although Simona had been in lack of paternal love, she
never called others daddy randomly.
“Simona, come to mummy. He... He’s not your daddy."
"Nope, I want Daddy." Simona refused to accept what Dolores had said and hugged Matthew’s leg
even tighter. She stuck her face on his leg, raised her head, and blinked her big bright eyes, “Daddy,
can you carry me?”
Matthew had been frozen at the moment Simona stuck herself to his leg. He looked down to meet her
watery, clear eyes with anticipation in them.
He stooped to pick her up. Simona’s skin was so fair. Maybe it was because she was light, Matthew
didn’t use too much might.
Simona was dumbfounded when seeing him at such a close distance. ‘Daddy is so handsome!’ she
exclaimed inwardly.
She wrapped her arm around his neck tightly, as if she was afraid that he would put her down and
nestled her head on his shoulder.
Dolores wanted to take her into her arms, “Simona.”
“Mummy, I want daddy to carry me.” Simona stopped her with a sobbing tone. She yearned for a father
deep down and desired the embrace of her father.
She longed for a father.
“Let me carry her.” Matthew didn’t felt her repulsive. After all, no one would reject such a cute girl.
Dolores felt helpless and explained, “She never acted like this before.”
Matthew glanced at her blandly and curled his lips into a scornful smile, “She doesn’t have a father
since her birth, so naturally she’s lack of paternal love.”
Dolores was nailed on the spot. Although she looked calm on the surface, she felt that her heart was
grasped so tightly by an irony hand that she even couldn’t breathe and could only felt the pain.
She walked into the house to put down the things with her head lowered.
Matthew carried Simona into the living room and let her sit on his thighs. He then studied her
appearance carefully. Simona looked like Samuel but was more endearing than him.
Her face was as fair as the impeccable porcelain. It was so soft that he had the impulse to pinch it.
With such a thought in mind, Matthew put into action. When he pinched her cheek, he felt it elastic and
tender, “Your name is Simona?”
Simona nodded and curled her pinky lips into a smile, baring her white teeth, “Mummy said Simona
means tenderness and the sun in the morning and my name is a symbol of hope.”
Dolores hoped her daughter could be tender and be as dazzling as the sun.
She hoped that there would be no darkness, but only brightness in her daughter’s life.
Simona blinked her eyes and looked at Matthew, “Is it a good name?”
”Good.”
It was not a perfunctory answer. Matthew really thought that Dolores had given her a good name.
Simona was all smiles and pounced into his embrace. She stuck her face onto his chest to listen to his
heartbeat, “Daddy.”
Matthew tensed up again. He had been living for thirty more years, but it was first time for him to hear
someone addressing him ‘daddy’.
He felt inexplicitly excited.
It was like throwing a stone into a stagnant pond and the stone caused waves of ripples in the pond,
just like how he felt at the moment.
He couldn’t calm down.
Simona dug into his collar and stroke his skin.
Matthew, “…”.
He wanted to take away her hand, but Simona refused to let go of his collar, “I want to drink milk.”
Matthew was rendered speechless again.
He didn’t have breasts!
“Mummy has milk.” Simona blinked her eyes in curiosity. Why didn’t daddy have it?
Simona continued to cruise on his chest randomly. His chest was so flat and hard.
“Mummy’s chest is so soft. Why don’t you have milk?” Simona felt aggrieved.
Matthew’s expressions became more tensed up.
He panted for breath with his head raised.
Wasn’t Simona and Samuel a pair of twins?
Why were their characteristics so different?
Apparently Samuel was an independent person while Simona was a very clingy child.
Right at this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. But Matthew didn’t have the mood to check it. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Simona felt curious and reached out to his pocket while reminding, “Daddy, your phone is ringing.”
“I see.”
“I’ll take the phone for you.” Simona played up to him.
She wanted Matthew to like her; therefore, she had to perform well.
Simona produced the phone from Matthew’s pocket and saw a video message on the screen. She
blinked her eyes and accidently opened the video.
The video was soon displayed.
“Mummy, breasts.” Simona recognized the persons in the video.
Matthew furrowed his brows and lowered his head to look at the video…
