I could tell that he was shocked.
This naive man obviously didnât run a background check on me.
Otherwise, why didnât he know that I had a daughter?
âThis is my daughter, Elena.
Sheâs five years old,â I said meaningfully.
After pausing for a while, Gifford asked slowly, âAre you married?â
âNot yet.

An embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
He started to say, âIt mustâve been hard for you to take raise a child aloneââ
âHoney, dinner is ready!â

His voice was so loud that everyone in the area mustâve heard it.
The expression on Giffordâs face changed dramatically.

I wonât bother you anymore.

Gifford forced a smile, but his eyes were full of disappointment.
When he turned around and left, I couldnât help but feel sorry for him.
I knew that Caleb had done this to drive Gifford away.
Although his behavior was very childish, it worked.
At least Gifford would stop badgering me.
As soon as I entered the house with Elena, she threw herself into
Calebâs arms and asked him triumphantly, âDad, did I do a good job?â
âYou did great, Elena! Good girl.

âWhereâs my prize? I want chocolate!â
After listening to this exchange between father and daughter, I finally realized that Caleb had sent Elena out to greet me on purpose so that
Gifford would be scared off.
I was displeased with this.
âStop making our kid do this kind of thing from now on, understood?â
Caleb wasnât happy with my scolding.
He looked at me and said naturally, âElenaâs my daughter.
Itâs only right that she help me.
