Chapter 1207: Chapter 1186: The Unreliable Daddy, Let Me Tell You...

"Mommy, is what this uncle saying true? Is he really Tanya’s daddy?"

Maya was still in shock, but Tanya was excitedly screaming. After all, having always lacked a father’s love, she had been longing for her own daddy for many years. If it weren’t for not wanting to upset mommy, she would talk about wanting a daddy every day. Now someone was claiming to be her daddy.

Looking at how he acted toward mommy, and those eyes so similar to her own, Tanya almost believed Graham Stones’s words, believing that he was probably her daddy. A six-year-old child could already read faces, let alone a child from a single-parent family, who tended to be more sensitive than others.

Seeing that Maya hadn’t made a sound, Tanya was almost certain that this man was her unreliable daddy. Remembering how the man in front of her had admitted to being a scoundrel right in front of her, Tanya, the little beauty, was even more convinced.

With her little head tilted back, her deep, peach blossom eyes stared unblinkingly at the man’s face for a long time before she finally spoke, "Unreliable Daddy, let me tell you, you hurt my mommy so deeply before, and now you want a child? Let me tell you, no way! If you dare to take me away from mommy’s side, I will bite off my tongue and end myself, and make you childless for the rest of your life!"

Graham Stones: "..."

That narcissistic demeanor, truly a case of the apple not falling far from the tree!

"Dear daughter, you really are your daddy’s seed, inheriting this narcissistic talent from your daddy!" Graham Stones twitched at the corner of his eye, "Who said I wanted you? Right now, I am not as interested in you as I am in your mommy. You are a seed of mine that has sprouted—it’s familiar, nothing new. Your mommy is not mine yet; I’m interested in bringing other people’s property under my name!"

Maya: "..."

A seed that sprouted and grew?

"Graham Stones, if you keep talking nonsense, I am going to call the police!"

Maya’s eyes twitched; he could actually say such things in front of a child, truly a piece of work, "Let me tell you, Tanya is still a child. If you talk about your messy stuff in front of her, you can forget about me ever forgiving you in this lifetime!"

Messy stuff?

Graham Stones was initially taken aback, then realized what she meant by messy stuff. Indeed, Tanya was a girl, and it certainly wasn’t too good, so Mr. Stones immediately raised his hand to assure that he wouldn’t speak carelessly, "I promise I will absolutely not spout nonsense, and please, dear wife, forgive me considering the sincerity of my apology, and give me the chance to serve you and our daughter like an ox and horse!"

Maya: "..."

"Why would I need an ox or horse? I am not farming, do I need an ox? I’m not going into battle, why would I need a horse?" Maya could hardly compliment the man’s shameless audacity; there really was nothing he couldn’t say, "Mr. Stones, you might as well leave now. Our poor family lives in a third-rate neighborhood, which really isn’t suitable for someone from the upper class like you!"

"Wherever my wife and child are, that’s where I am!"

No matter if it’s a third-rate neighborhood, even a pigsty or cowshed, he would be happy to live there, "How could I bear to let such a beauty of a wife go into battle or farm? When I said I’m willing to serve like an ox and horse, it meant caring for my wife wholeheartedly and diligently like an ox. When we have a second child to give Tanya a little brother or sister, I’d let my dear wife take the lead, and I’d be willing to let my wife ride me like a horse!"

Hearing this, memories of the time they were together many years ago flashed through Maya Sanders’s mind. The man was not only a philanderer but also very domineering, always preferring the man-on-top position, which she also found conveniently relaxing.

Pah, what the hell are you thinking, Maya? After so many years without a man, you never had such thoughts, and now facing the man who has already left your heart dead, such ideas still cross your mind? Maya felt her blood pressure surging with anger at her own pathetic state and the man’s shameless attitude...

"Graham Stones, who said I would bear your children? Tanya doesn’t need any siblings, so get lost!"

"Mommy, actually... actually, I do want siblings. I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I really like the idea!"

Before Maya could finish her sentence, Tanya, the little girl in the man’s arms, spoke up with a soft and sticky voice full of hope, striking straight into Maya’s heart, "Mommy, you have to work and can’t be with me, I’m so lonely. Don’t let daddy go, let him stay and make me a little brother, then you can send him away!"

Graham Stones: "..."

He was about to say that at the end of the day, she was his own flesh and blood. In a crunch, she still knew to plead for her daddy and to have mommy take him in. He hadn’t even had a chance to deliver a kiss excitedly when his daughter announced that he could be sent away after giving her a little brother!

Did his beloved daughter actually see him as a childbearing machine in her eyes?

"Sweetie, you can’t use daddy like that. Having a baby is hard work. Sending daddy away after having a baby, isn’t that quite cruel?"

Graham Stones felt as if his heart was coughing up blood, but his face still had to light up with a bright smile. After all, his beloved daughter had at least given him a chance, "Shouldn’t you at least give your daddy a title?"

"A title?" The small brows knitted tightly, "Daddy, you abandoned us mother and daughter for so many years, and we haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and now you want a title? You know, daddy, maybe you’re really thinking too much?"

Graham Stones: "..."

"Baby, with what you said, daddy really wants to say, it’s a bigger injustice than Dianne herself. Back in the day, it was your mommy who abandoned your daddy. She left and even changed her phone number. When daddy tried to call her, it was turned off!"

Graham Stones really wasn’t lying about that. Back when Maya broke up with him, he agreed too easily, but then he began to find it hard to let go. After a night of drinking, he regretted it. It was the first time he regretted wanting to reconcile with a woman after being dumped, but when he tried to call again, her number was already disconnected.

What he didn’t expect was her decisiveness in leaving. At that time, he did feel a bit of hatred towards her. After all, she was the first woman he had met whom he couldn’t forget. It wasn’t until Nana Jensen came into the picture and, eventually, Roy Thompson’s words—that after waiting hopelessly for a woman who wasn’t his for five years—he realized how utterly wrong he had been.

It was also because of this wait that he completely understood how shameful the bit of hatred he once had in his heart was, and it slowly fermented into self-reproach.

Roy Thompson, Rio Gordon, Moriya Sandy, Owen Hayes—each of them had shown him through their actions that if a woman strayed from you, it was because you gave too little; in their eyes, you were simply an unreliable man!
