Chapter 1574
Chapter 1574
Tail was determined to stay away from Edwin. Seeing Edwin's dark complexion, she felt a little scared, but her stubbornness kicked in. She quickly retreated to the bedside and grabbed onto the railing, shouting at the door, "Mama, help! That bad guy is hitting me! Mama, why did you leave me here all alone? Do you not want me anymore?"
Tears streamed down her face as she imagined countless scenarios.
All the servants, including Jadyn, burst into laughter.
Tail was a bit mischievous, but she was really adorable.
For the first time, Edwin deeply understood the difficulties of taking care of children. Seeing Tail's red and swollen eyes, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He reached out to wipe away her tears, but fearing that she would resist him, he hesitated and withdrew his hand, softly coaxing her, "Good baby, stop crying. Joanne is really making breakfast in the kitchen. She doesn't want to abandon you. If you cry like this, she will think I'm mistreating you again..."
The softer Edwin's attitude became, the redder Tail's eyes grew.
'How could this bad guy, who used to be so fierce, suddenly
become so gentle? He must have done something wrong and felt guilty!'
Thinking of this, Tail sobbed even harder, crying uncontrollably. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"You bad guy! What did you do to Mama?"
"Tail?" As soon as Tail asked this, Joanne's anxious voice came from outside the door.
The servants who were blocking the corridor quickly stepped aside, and as soon as Joanne entered the bedroom, she saw the little girl cornered by Edwin, crying desperately, almost out of breath.
This scene really broke her heart.
When Tail heard the familiar voice, she immediately straightened up her little body and reached out her chubby hands towards Joanne.
"Mama, Mama..."
Pouting her small mouth, she cried loudly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Joanne quickly picked up Tail. The little girl buried her face in Joanne's neck, dirtying her clothes with snot and saliva." Baby, don't cry. Tell me what happened. Did Edwin mistreat you again? I am here with you now..."
Edwin said in an extremely gentle tone to defend himself," I'm innocent. I really didn't mistreat her. I've been trying to comfort her..."
"If you tried to comfort her, why is she crying now? Tail never screams like this." Joanne gently patted Tail's back, trying to calm her down. She felt that the little girl was about to pass out from crying.
With a helpless expression, Edwin said in a jealous tone, "It's because she wanted you instead of me."
"Madam, it really can't be blamed on Master Edwin. Miss Tail wanted to see you as soon as she woke up. She cried so hard without your company, so Master Edwin promised to take her to the kitchen. However, Miss Tail didn't believe Master Edwin's words and refused to let him touch her..."
Suppressing her laughter, Jadyn stepped forward and vividly recounted what had just happened to Joanne.
Joanne was dumbfounded after hearing this.
Was this still her well-behaved and cute little baby?
"I didn't even scold her," Edwin said after a moment of silence, his voice sounding even more aggrieved. "And I even prepared a big box of toys specifically to bond with her. I know I went too far and didn't know how to control my temper before, but that's because I mistook her for Patrick's daughter. How could I mistreat my own daughter?"
Joanne finally understood that the little girl was throwing a tantrum.
She had just changed into a new environment and it was inevitable for her to feel uncomfortable when seeing Edwin again.
At this moment, she had to be united with Tail.
Otherwise, the little girl might become more and more insecure...
