Andrew Li saw the deepening of the gloom on his face and said, "What do you have to say to her? In the future, when you meet her, it's best to pretend you don't know her and have no contact with her."
Since that woman didn't intend to acknowledge her daughter, he might as well go along with her wishes!
Nora was frightened by her father's tone, hesitated for a few seconds, and reluctantly wrote in her little notebook, "Why?"
Without waiting for Andrew Li to reply, she quickly added, "I really like Auntie. Auntie is very good to me, very gentle. I want to be with her!"
Nora's straightforward affection made Andrew Li feel heartbroken, but he had to face the reality and said emotionlessly, "Because she already has her own children and doesn't need another one."
Upon hearing this, confusion filled Nora's eyes.
She knew those two older brothers were right, but the pretty aunt was still kind to her.
But her father seemed to dislike the aunt.
Nora couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Seeing that the little girl had become quiet, Andrew Li instructed his assistant to start the car and left the Qin Family Manor.
On the way, someone tugged at his sleeve.
Andrew Li frowned and looked over. "Where is my mommy?"
Nora looked at him with a hint of sadness in her big eyes.
The pretty aunt was the mother of the two older brothers, so she couldn't get close to the pretty aunt. But what about her own mommy?
Those words pierced Andrew Li's eyes like a dagger, and he almost awkwardly withdrew his gaze, unsure of how to respond.
Nora was asking him where her mommy was.
He did know the answer.
But how could he tell her the cruel truth?
That woman had already started a new family and had no intention of acknowledging her own daughter, even though her biological daughter was right in front of her eyes.
The more he thought about it, the more troubled Andrew Li's expression became, and he remained silent for a while.
He hadn't spoken the whole time, and Nora kept looking at him with hopeful eyes.
After a long while, Andrew Li gritted his teeth and said irritably, "I don't know where she is, and you shouldn't ask this question again! You have a father, that's enough. You don't need a mommy!"
As he finished speaking, Nora stared at her father for a few seconds, then slowly put away her notebook and lowered her head in silence.
They didn't speak to each other until they returned home.
Qin Family Villa.
After Andrew Li left, Ja Jiang's mood seemed a bit off.
Edison Qin noticed it but didn't pry, so he took her downstairs, made some small talk while drinking tea, and tried to bring up various topics.
It seemed that the atmosphere between the two of them was still good.
After being kicked out, Amelia Qin returned to her room. Now, she came out to take a look at the situation.
Seeing her brother sitting with Ja Jiang on the couch, Amelia Qin couldn't help but snort disdainfully.
From the beginning, she never believed that this woman had any real abilities.
Now, it seemed her belief was justified.
Ja Jiang noticed her disdainful attitude but didn't have the mood to confront her, so she acted as if Amelia Qin didn't exist.
As the hour passed, Ja Jiang spoke first, "It's time to retrieve the needle."
After saying that, she got up and went upstairs.
Edison Qin quickly followed.
On the side, Amelia Qin also stood up suspiciously and followed.
She didn't believe this woman, but when it came to her grandfather's condition, she still cared. Moreover, she wanted to see if this woman really had the abilities she claimed to have!
