Ja Jiang quietly came out of the room, lowering her voice carefully as she spoke to the two little ones there, "Be good, Mommy is still treating a patient and will be back late. You can play with your mother-by-affection for a while."
The two little ones, used to Mommy coming home late because of work, obediently agreed.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Andrew Li's expression was so cold it could freeze, and anger surged within him. The image of Nora falling from her hands and the word "Mommy" from the phone call replayed in his mind...
No wonder she was so distant when she saw Nora.
So, this woman was already married, and she even had a child with another man!
That's why she abandoned her child back then!
He looked down at his daughter, who was still standing there. The little girl couldn't hide her disappointment, but when she saw the woman leaving, she still looked up at the door, waiting for her to return. This scene stabbed at his heart even more.
Even if she comes back, she still won't want the child!
Andrew Li's eyes darkened ominously as he walked over to Nora and picked her up. Nora looked at her own Daddy in confusion, tugging at his collar to indicate that she didn't want to be held.
But Andrew Li pretended not to notice and coldly said to Edison Qin, "It's getting late; I'll take Nora back. If Grandpa Qin wakes up, tell me. I'll come to visit him another day."
Without waiting for Edison Qin's response, he carried Nora and left in large strides.
Ja Jiang had just finished her phone call and was preparing to go inside. As she reached the door, she saw the man coming out with an expressionless face. Her heart tightened, and she was thinking about how to deal with the situation when the man walked past her as if he hadn't seen her at all.
Seeing his indifferent departure, Ja Jiang couldn't help but feel a sense of self-mockery when she snapped back to reality. It seemed that this man didn't care about the phone call just now.
Indeed, they were from two completely different worlds, and she had realized this fact long ago.
Six years ago, Andrew Li had never taken her seriously, let alone now. To him, the two children were just strangers.
Now, thinking back to her emotional ups and downs earlier, Ja Jiang couldn't help but feel like a joke.
She stood outside the door for a while, heaving a sigh, and then slowly gathered her thoughts before stepping inside.
In the room, only Edison Qin remained.
Their interactions just now had not escaped Edison Qin's notice. He couldn't help but feel that the relationship between these two people wasn't as simple as it seemed, especially Andrew Li.
It was the first time he had seen Andrew Li show so many emotions towards a woman.
Curious, Edison Qin refrained from asking too much and began discussing the old man's condition with Ja Jiang as if nothing had happened.
As Nora was carried out of the villa by her daddy, she grew a bit anxious. She wrote a series of words on a small notebook and tugged at her daddy's clothes, asking him to read.
"I haven't talked to Auntie yet; can we stay a little longer?"
Andrew Li's heart was in turmoil, and his brow furrowed slightly. Nora noticed her daddy's mood seemed a bit low and showed concern in her eyes as she wrote, "Daddy, what's wrong? Why are you not happy?"
