Chapter 347
Bride Behind The Mask
Teresa hopped up and down with excitement, her fists clenched and held high in front of her chest as she enthusiastically shouted, âYes!â
The little girl was so excited that her happy dance was just too adorable to resist. She jubilantly embraced the nurse and planted three kisses on her cheek.
âPretty lady, youâre the prettiest lady in this hospital, I like you so much!â With that, she ran off, leaving the nurse alone in a state of confusion.
Half an hour later, at the kindergarten.
She returned the same way she came, scaling the wall back into the playground where she immediately spotted Sammie kicking pebbles under a tree.
And Hayes was nervously pacing back and forth, his big eyes full of worry.
Teresa quickly called out, âWhat are you guys doing here?â
At the sound of Teresaâs voice, Hayes sprinted over, checking her over with a serious look, even squatting down to feel her ankles.
The schoolâs wall was so high, she could have been hurt climbing over it, right?
Sammie slowly sauntered over, âTeresa, youâre finally back. Hayes has been dragging me out here waiting for you, he was worried sick!â
Teresa felt a warmth surge into her heart, âLittle Mute, youâve been waiting for me?â
Hayes nodded sincerely.
Teresa turned to Sammie, her heart pounding, âDid someone pick on him?â
âWhoâd dare to with me around? Heâs just been worried about you!â
Hayesâ worried eyes made Teresaâs joyful mood suddenly complex. Now they had the same father, Teresa felt both close and scared. Would Hayes think she was trying to steal his dad from him? Teresa was worried. She led Hayes and Sammie back to their class, and this question kept bothering her, even during her favorite art class.
One was her biological father, the other had raised her, who should she choose?
Was her mom not marrying her dad because she was waiting for Hayesâ father? But Hayesâ father was mean, he even choked her mom! He probably didnât like her mom, right? But then why did he kiss her?
Geez, adult relationships were just too complicated. She just couldnât figure it out, her dad was obviously Hayesâ dad, so why didnât her mom tell her the truth.
Did her mom not know?
14.56 Teresa blinked, suddenly remembering something â Once, when her mom and dad were arguing, she heard her mom angrily say, âIf it werenât for the fact that youâre Teresaâs father, I would have taken her and left you long ago!â
So, her mom didnât know!
What about Maurice, her dad? Did he not know either? Teresaâs little head was about to explode.
No! She needed to find a chance, take the DNA test results, and ask her mom about this!
Determined, she turned back to Hayes and asked in a low voice, âLittle Mute, are your dad and mom married?â
Hayes looked at Teresa with some confusion, and Teresa quickly explained, âI know itâs a weird question. But some parents, they have kids but theyâre not married!â
Like her dad and mom. Oh no, Hayesâ dad was her real dad⦠Who should she call dad now?
Oh dear! This was really driving her crazy!
Watching Teresaâs colorful expressions, the unsuspecting Hayes was obviously much calmer.
His cute little face was lifted by a hand, and Hayes said two words, âNot married.â
Teresaâs eyes widened in surprise and joy.
Not married? Did that mean Hayesâ dad was also waiting for her mom? Oh my! If thatâs the case, then it couldnât be better! People should be with those they love the most! Thatâs when theyâll be truly happy!
But what about Maurice, her nominal dad? What would he do? Even though she thought Maurice was great in every way, it seemed like he was the unfortunate one nowâ¦
