Chapter 185 Her Cooking (Part Two)

"Mommy, I want to sleep with Daddy Lan tonight," Elissa suddenly said.

"No way!"

Four voices of objection rang out at the same time. Their eyes fixed on William.

William was taken aback by their fierce reactions. The corners of his mouth twitched.

"Why not? Hmm?" Elissa slid down from the chair and ran up to be cradled in William's arms. "You're all a bunch of meanies!"

"Uncle Lan is our guest," Mary said sternly. "He came to visit our house only for dinner. Uncle Lan needs to go back to his own house to sleep. Don't be so stubborn, Elissa."

"But..."

"No but..." Mary said resolutely. "Uncle Lan is not Daddy. Don't call him Daddy. Elissa, go upstairs with Mommy or I'll only take Alick with me and abandon you."

"Waah..."

It was the first time her mother had threatened her like this. Elissa was frightened and closed her eyes as she cried loudly.

"Elissa, don't cry!" William hurriedly wiped Elissa's tears.

"Mommy... I want Mommy..." With her hands wide open, Elissa looked in Mary's direction.

Mary's heart ached. If there was anything she could do, how would she have threatened her lovely daughter?

At this moment, William walked to Mary with Elissa in his arms.

Mary couldn't refuse. She quickly took the little g

"Of course!" William nodded. "Let's do a pinky promise."

"Hee hee..." Elissa reached out her little pinky finger and made an agreement with William.

"Go on now. Daddy is waiting for you!"

"Dad!" Elissa called William loudly. She looked up at him innocently.

Dad...

The walls in his heart seemed to have collapsed. For a moment, his brain had stopped working and he had forgotten how to think. A simple word could make him feel so complete!

"Good girl!" Hearing that, William nodded and held Elissa in his arms. Tears welled up in his eyes. "Elissa... I'm your dad..."

"Dad!"

"Yes..."

"Dad!"

"Yes..."

After persuading Elissa to sleep, William gently closed the door and walked outside. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Barry. It looked as if he had waited for him in the corridor.

"Where is Mary?" asked William.

"She went to bed." Barry stared at him coldly. "You can hit the road now, Mr. Lan. It's late. You should go home."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Gu." William sneered. He walked closer to Barry and stopped. "Don't be too complacent. I will gain Mary's heart back."

"Do you think I'd let you succeed?" Barry said casually.

"Well..." William narrowed his eyes. "We'll see."

"Yes, we shall!"
