Chapter 942: Chloe, You Have A Daddy!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What?”
Lauren was incensed and looked at Faye and her two children. At the same time, Faye, who was comforting her son, stood up and chuckled.
“Lauren, children’s words carry no harm. They don’t know what they are saying. Don’t tell me you want to argue with my two children?”
The boy stopped crying and pointed at Chloe. “She doesn’t have a daddy. We didn’t say anything wrong. Why is she crying? She can just find a daddy!”
The boy was very unhappy. Why did the bees only sting him and his sister and not Chloe?
!!
The three of them had been standing together!
“Shut up!”
Faye immediately scolded her son. She still had to be a little careful in front of Lauren. After all, the Howard family was currently more powerful than Faye and her husband’s families.
Lauren was very angry that her daughter was being bullied like this. However, she couldn’t stoop to the level of scolding two little children.
Faye took the opportunity to continue. “Lauren, but speaking of this, you really should find a father for Chloe. It’s a very painful thing to lack a father’s love. As women, we can’t make up for what a father can give a child. Coincidentally, my husband has a colleague who likes you very much. He is an eligible bachelor. Do you want me to arrange for you two to get to know each other?”
Almost immediately, Lauren rejected her on the spot. “No need! You don’t have to worry about me. Your son has been stung quite badly by bees. I think you should quickly bring the child to the hospital for a checkup.”
“You…”
The dismissive response left Faye very annoyed. Lauren had been her junior in school but was now so arrogant toward her. She barely considered her proposal before rejecting her on the spot. She did not respect her at all!
Faye was also a very proud woman. Without saying anything else, she left with her children.
After Faye left, Lauren held Chloe’s hand to bring her back to the cafe.
However, Chloe refused to budge. She cried. “I want Daddy, I want Daddy. Where is my daddy?”
Lauren said helplessly, “Chloe, we’ve talked about this. Can you stop making things difficult for Mommy?”
Chloe continued to wail. “No, I want a daddy. Other children have daddies, why don’t I have one?”
Lauren had no choice but to carry Chloe into the cafe.
After they went in, Chloe still fussed about having a daddy. Lauren placed her on the sofa by the window and went to the bar. She had no idea how to coax the child anymore. She didn’t know how to tell the child about her father.
All she could do was give Chloe some time to calm down. Perhaps she would stop crying after she vented her frustrations.
Jordan couldn’t bear to see Chloe crying.
She was his precious baby. Chloe’s cries made Jordan’s heart ache!
However, Jordan couldn’t go over and acknowledge them now. Otherwise, it would disrupt the timeline.
Jordan thought for a moment and decided to control the “bee” to talk to Chloe!
Coincidentally, Lauren went to the washroom.
Buzz.
Buzz.
b.u.mp!
b.u.mp!
Jordan controlled the “bee” to knock against the window.
Chloe, who was sitting by the window, immediately stopped crying and looked out of the window. She was surprised to see a bee knocking against the window.
“Ah! It’s a bee! It’s the bee that stung us just now!”
Chloe was terrified.
“Chloe, Chloe.”
Jordan had installed a mini microphone on the “bee” to transmit his voice.
Chloe heard a faint sound outside the window. It didn’t sound like a bee.
“The bee wants to come in. What should I do? Should I let it in?”
Chloe was very smart. She could tell that the bee wanted her to open the window. She swallowed hard before standing on the sofa. Then she leaned against the window and said to the bee, “Do you want to come in?”
The “bee” nodded.
“Ah! It nodded!”
Chloe was amazed. This bee knew how to nod its head! It could understand her!
Chloe felt like she was in a cartoon or a Marvel movie!
At Chloe’s age, she was filled with curiosity about everything. Moreover, she wasn’t as mature as adults.
An adult would be terrified if a bee nodded its head or spoke to him.
But for a child like her, it was not that scary.
Chloe widened her eyes cutely and said to the bee, “If I let you in, will you sting me?”
The bee shook its tiny head.
Chloe still didn’t open the window. She continued to ask, “Will you sting my mommy?”
The bee shook its head again.
“If you want to sting someone, just sting me, and you can’t sting my mommy. Mommy is sick. Don’t sting her, okay?”
Hearing the small girl’s words, Jordan felt a lump in his throat and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Jordan had experienced so many near-death battles. He had witnessed the world’s greatest secret and even transcended time and s.p.a.ce!
Even though he had experienced so many hards.h.i.+ps in the past, he had never once cried.
But Chloe’s innocent words moved Jordan to tears.
Chloe was a really good and sensible girl!
Jordan recalled that when Chloe went to Chris’ house, she had suffered a lot there. In order not to let Chris look down on Jordan, she insisted on maintaining the horse stance until she fainted. She knew that if she couldn’t persist, it meant that her daddy was useless.
To let others think highly of her daddy, she had fought on despite her weak child’s body!
‘I can’t let my daughter suffer. I want my daughter to have everything!’ Jordan swore to himself. At this moment, Chloe opened the window.
After opening the window, Chloe stood back fearfully, as if afraid that the bee would sting her. However, after seeing that the bee was very friendly and remained motionless in the air, Chloe took another step closer.
“Did you sting them just now?” Chloe asked.
The bee nodded.
Chloe asked again, “Why did you sting them? Why did you only sting them and not me? Is my skin not delicious?”
Jordan smiled and replied, “Because they bullied you. They deserve to be punished.”
Only then did Chloe know that this bee was helping her.
Chloe was very happy, but she also felt guilty. “Actually, they’re right. I don’t have a daddy. I won’t play with them in the future. I won’t play with any children anymore. I’ll only play with Mommy.”
Chloe lowered her head in frustration.
She had decided now that she would never interact with other children or talk to them again. She didn’t want them to say that she didn’t have a daddy and make her and Mommy sad.
How could Jordan allow his daughter to seal herself off like this? She was still so young. If she didn’t interact with the outside world, she would definitely develop behavioral problems later on!
Jordan said, “Child, you don’t have to be afraid of interacting with other children, nor do you have to be afraid of other children saying that you don’t have a daddy.”
“No, little bee, you’re not human. You don’t understand. I’m scared. I’m really scared!”
Chloe’s big, sparkling eyes stared adorably at the fake bee.
Jordan couldn’t help chuckling at the sight of Chloe’s adorable and innocent face.
He continued, “From now on, you don’t have to be afraid because you have a daddy. Your daddy is…”
