Chapter 1250
"But I don't want these things."
Unexpectedly, Yvette suddenly said such a sentence, and her soft voice sounded lonely. This was the first time Lauren felt that no matter how much she gave Yvette, nothing was able to replace the missing love of a father. Her heart was throbbing in pain!
"Mommy, I don't want a big house, new clothes, and new toys. I want you and Daddy to play with me like Tommy's daddy and mommy."
Yvette's long eyelashes fluttered as she said pitifully.
"Mommy, are you lying to me? I don't have a daddy, right? I understand. You adults are the same. You teach children not to lie, but you lie to them! Valentina said that her mommy used to love her very much and buy her many toys and new clothes. But whenever she asked about her daddy, her mommy would get angry and she would stop caring about her. She even said her daddy doesn't want them anymore. Valentina's mommy even told her that her existence is a waste of money, and she even hits her now. She hits her even though she didn't ask about her daddy!"
Crouching, Yvettes's eyes showed a hint of timidity and fear. Knowing that the child might have been unintentionally affected, Lauren was angry and distressed. Originally, she let the child go out more often so that she could get more contact with outsiders. Well, there were pros and cons to this.
Afraid of scaring the child, Lauren smiled and picked Yvette up. She touched her little face and kissed her.
"You are different from Valentina. You are Mommy's sweetheart. I love you so much, and I would never hit you! Daddy also loves you very much, and Daddy didn't abandon us. But... Daddy is doing something very important now so he's far away from us. He can't call you, nor he can come back to see you. When Daddy's work is finished, you will be all grown up. Then, I'll take you to find Daddy, okay?"
Yvette nodded again and again, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Okay! Then Mommy, shall we see Bree first? Then you can feed me all kinds of delicious food so I can grow up faster..."
Seeing Yvette climbing out of bed and grabbing her small bag, the sadness moments ago seemed to be just an imagination. Lauren couldn't help curling up the corners of her mouth.
"All right!"
She really was just a child, forgetting everything just after a short while! Looking at the tissue in her hand and her angelic daughter, Lauren's heart was about to melt.
Because of the sweater incident, Willy did not look for Lauren for a whole week. He was in an extremely depressed state.
On this day, he was drinking alone at the bar after work. His heart was still in turmoil. With just a snap of his fingers, someone brought over another glass of whiskey. Suddenly, a slender finger with the nail painted gold appeared on the crook of his arm.
"Sir, are you by yourself? Would you like to buy me a drink?"
Frowning, Willy turned his head and glared at the woman. "Get lost!"
The woman was so frightened that she almost fell off the barstool and ran away.
"What's your problem? You're not being a gentleman at all!"
Looking back, he saw Frederick. Willy asked, "Why don't you show me how to be a gentleman then?"
At this time, another woman came over, and just so happened to be in the direction of Frederick. As soon as the woman reached out, she was driven away by him before she could touch him. He sat on the high chair and put down his phone.
"A glass of whiskey!"
Immediately, Willy let out a laugh. What a hypocrite!
"I heard from Lexx that you've been in a bad mood recently?"
"That big mouth!"
Frederick raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.noveldrama

"We bumped into each other and we happened to talk about you. He was also concerned about you! Your mood is affecting your work. It's been at least a few days already and you're still the same. It must be a tricky situation, huh?"
"Tevye cut up the sweater Lauren gave me! And I almost hit her!"
Frederick turned his head to look at Willy, and he was obviously shocked although he did hear about the matter from someone else. He swirled his glass slightly and spoke.
"So, you are depressed because Lauren's sweater is destroyed or because you almost hit Tevye?"
What he said confused Willy. He had never thought about this problem. He just felt very sad! Frederick patted him on the shoulder again and
continued.
"Well, they have the same face, so perhaps you yourself don't even know who you love. Willy, would you love a woman just because of a face? Don't trap yourself like this!"
Willy's instinct told him that he probably could not move on from Lauren because of his sense of responsibility toward Lauren. Maybe he was guilty over the hurt he had caused Lauren that he felt empathetic for Tevye.

"Although I can't be sure whether they are the same person as you suspected, I still think you should cherish the person that's with you now. Don't let her become the next 'Lauren! God will not give you another chance, and He will not treat you sowell forever! I have gone through it too. I have also gotten a divorce, and I almost lost Ally! How should I put it, I am very grateful now. Have you ever thought about it? Some lingering feelings could be just your unwillingness to let go of the loss. Many things have changed. The passage of time shows on our faces. We can never go back to
when we were 18 years old!"
He really wanted to tell him to stop dwelling on the past, but he remembered his old self. Frederick bit his tongue, picked up his glass and did not say
more.
Soon, Frederick left, and Willy reflected on his words. It was true that he had lost her once, and he must not lose her again!
On the other side, similarly, Lauren was very affected by this turn of events. Whether it was because of him or Yvette, she had been isolating herself these days. Her heart was equally as heavy.
She was really depressed that day.
In the afternoon, she wandered on the street. For the first time, she did not have any purpose, she did not even shop, not even for Yvette. When she could not walk any longer,

she sat down on a bench on the side of the road and looked at the children who were holding hands and crossing the road in the distance in a daze. The children
seemed to have just returned from some activity.
Yvette would start kindergarten in September!
The child already knew what a father is. She would only continue to discover more in the future. How long could Lauren use such an excuse? Should she just let them meet each other?
Would Willy like Yvette? Would he steal the child from her? If he didn't like her that much, would it hurt Yvette's innocent heart? Yvette pondered.
No! Yvette was her most beloved child. She couldn't tolerate any of that!
Shaking her head, Lauren's mind was disturbed by all these fleeting thoughts. How could that kind of person with no boundaries have such a perfect
little?
What do you think?
