Chapter 134: 115. Future Daddy upgraded to Prospective Daddy

Ivy Aretha expressed that she was too drained to even bother criticizing this narcissistic creature anymore.

Sophia Young stated that her love for Mr. Gordon had just gone up a notch, but it was somewhat regretful to acknowledge that this fine man was taken. However, remembering the defeated expression on Lydia Summers’ face earlier, her mood was still pretty good.

The most gentlemanly thing Michael Gordon had ever done was to personally drive women home, apart from Ivy. He just couldn’t help himself; love makes you do crazy things.

When he got back from dropping off Sophia, Cathy was preparing dinner, and Bella had already been picked up from kindergarten.

Seeing that not only Ivy was back but also Michael Gordon, her eyes lit up and she sprinted towards him, "Uncle Gordon, you’re here again, this is wonderful!"

Michael quickly put his bag aside, scooped Bella up, and peppered her with kisses: "Baby, you got it wrong. What do you mean ’again’? Isn’t it perfectly right for me to come?"

Uh? Right?

Bella, with her big, bright eyes and fluttering doll-like lashes, frowned, looking confused as she spoke.

"There’s this saying about men and women not being too close, so isn’t it improper for a grown man like you to always hang out with a bunch of women?"

As she spoke, Bianca Aretha vehemently nodded, as if to affirm her statement.

Michael Gordon: "..." What does she mean by ’hang out with a bunch of women’?

Does his precious daughter now consider himself and the nanny as women?

While saying this, Michael held Bella in his arms and sat on the sofa: "Baby, would you prefer it if I were close or distant with mommy?"

"Of course distant, then you would be my daddy!" Bella blinked at Michael and laughed mischievously, "It has been my dream to have Uncle Gordon as my daddy!"

This pleased Michael, who smiled broadly. His beloved daughter had finally admitted her longing for him. Upon hearing these words, he kissed Bella enthusiastically: "Then you can call me ’daddy’ now!"

"Uncle Gordon, have you won over my mommy?"

Upon hearing this, Bella jumped up from his embrace, her eyes wide with disbelief. The thought of Uncle Gordon winning her mother over filled her heart with joy.

From now on, she would also have a father!

She had been waiting for this day for a long time!

In the future, nobody would dare ridicule her for not having a father!

Even the mature and sensible Bella was still a child. Especially when she saw that the children in the kindergarten were always accompanied by both parents, she really wished she had a father. Then, her parents would send her to school together, and she could be proud!

"Your mommy has agreed to be with me!"

Michael’s gaze fell tenderly on Bella’s surprised little face, his eyes slightly misty. He felt it was time to let his daughter call him ’daddy’.

"So, I’ve upgraded from a future dad to a potential dad. Baby, try calling me ’daddy’!"

He was really eager to hear his sweet little girl affectionately call him ’daddy’.

"Daddy!"

If her mommy had agreed to marry Michael Gordon, there was no need for her to be reserved. Overjoyed, she threw herself into his arms, "Great, I finally have a daddy. No one will dare laugh at me anymore for not having a daddy, ha ha ha ha!"

As she spoke, Bella rolled around in Michael’s arms, laughing uproariously. Her smugness was as if she had discovered great treasure, it was indeed a joyous event.

Yet, because of Bella’s words, which implied that she finally had a father and no longer had to be ridiculed for not having one, Michael’s thoughts sank into a trance. His heart felt like it was convulsing, aching again and again...

The pain seeped from his blood into his nerves. Looking at Bianca Aretha, his gaze turned from doting to empathetic as he sought solace in the innocent love radiating from his daughter.

Ivy must have agreed to the blind date to provide Bella with a father, right?

Starting from Zach Gilbert to the gentleman with glasses, although he was very angry, he understood that Ivy, as a mother, was willing to sacrifice for her child. So, when Zach Gilbert publicly announced to the media that Bianca Aretha was his illegitimate child with Ivy!

The first thing Ivy did was to find a suitable man to marry and provide a stable family for her daughter!

Luckily, he had already fallen for her. He didn’t want to miss out on any opportunity to protect his woman and child!

"Baby, you’ve always had a daddy, it’s the real daddy who forgot about you!"

As Michael looked at Bella, his vision started to blur. His deep gaze was veiled with a faint mist, and his trembling voice murmured gently, "You are daddy’s darling. Daddy will always abide by your wishes, and he will always be there for you..."

Bella: "..."

Something seemed off with Uncle Gordon today. He was making odd comments. Being referred to as a darling was acceptable, given her adorableness, but being a beast of burden, that was not...

"Daddy, your darling Bella is so cute, do you really think I need a beast of burden?"

Indeed, in kindergarten, those little boys were so eager to do anything for her that she didn’t lack for anyone willing to be her minion. What she lacked was a daddy, "Daddy, you need to treat mommy well. For the sake of Bella, mommy has suffered a lot, nearly losing her life!"

Michael didn’t respond to her. Instead, he silently watched his innocent little girl with love, his thoughts drifting to a distant era due to her gaze.

He seemed to see a familiar figure in his blurry sight, like a grown-up Bella standing under a sycamore tree wearing a white dress and a simple, pretty little face, smiling at him bathed in the quiet.

"Crash!" A crisp sound echoed in the living room, the sound of ceramic shattering filled the senses, Michael was first taken aback, then looked around to see a dazed Cathy picking up the fallen pieces.

The ceramic fragments scattered carelessly on the ground, Cathy appeared to be picking up the pieces gingerly, yet her hands were trembling.

Has this woman gone mad?
