Chapter 2240
Chapter 2240 Goodbye, Daddy
Eric was livid, and his face was as cold as ice.
He was even cold toward Kai.
It turned out that Nicole and Chatty were not the only ones in the Stanton family who were deceiving themselves.
The others were too!
How ridiculous!
“Mr. Stanton, did I say something wrong? Fine, let’s put this matter aside. I’m just afraid that a stranger will hurt her, so shouldn’t I help her?”
Eric’s tone was cold and rigid as he restrained the anger in his heart.
Kai frowned and glanced at the person in the wheelchair with a flash of sympathy.
However, he did not pay too much attention to him and only glanced at Roland.
“Someone’s with Chatty, so you’re a bit too concerned, Mr. Ferguson.”
Roland quickly said, “Yes, I’ve been with the Young Miss. She recognized the wrong person and insisted on being with this gentleman. This gentleman didn’t do anything and only wanted to coax the Young Miss…”
Eric’s eyes were stern as he glanced at Roland unkindly.
Kai nodded with understanding. His eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled.
“Mir. Ferguson, since Chatty was the one who ran to him, she’ll naturally leave when she’s coaxed properly. You don’t have to scare her into tears. Chatty usually doesn’t like to cry!”
Eric said, “I…”
“Mr. Ferguson, we appreciate your kindness, but you can’t deliberately create danger when there’s no risk Chatty is a sensible child, so don’t look down on her.”
Kai took a step forward.
He leaned closer to Eric, patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Mr. Ferguson, I know you want to use Chatty to pursue my sister, but I suggest that you find another way. Don’t you know who brought her up? My brother-in-law brought her up with his own hands. He’s someone who would collect a strand of her hair as a souvenir when Chatty’s hair fell. Chatty knows who’s truly treating her well.”
Eric’s face was dark.
It could not be gloomier.
The moment his intentions were exposed, Eric panicked for a moment.
Kai acted in dramas for so many years, so he knew exactly how this would go.
How could Eric, who could not put up an act, be able to hide the truth from an actor like Kai?
Chatty was still crying hysterically.
Jeff patted her back lightly and subconsciously touched the back of her neck so that her crying gradually weakened.
Kai and the others did not notice this little detail. Eric’s eyes darkened. He glanced at them and said with a cold expression, “Mr. Stanton, since you’re here, it’s naturally not my place to be nosy. I still have
something to attend to, so I’ll get going.”
As he spoke, he took a deep look at Jeff.
Eric left with a chill in his eyes.
Eric thought, ‘I can’t compare to a dead person, but that doesn’t mean I can’t compare to a disabled person! I still have plenty of opportunities.’
After Eric left, Kai’s gaze deepened slightly.
Kai looked at Roland reproachfully.
“What’s going on? Chatty is crying, so why didn’t you ask Nicole to come over?”
Roland was also stunned.
He did not think of that for a while. Since Eric was there at the time, he only felt a sense of danger.
However, Kai just said it in passing and did not mean to make it difficult for Roland.
After all, Roland was not Chatty’s babysitter.
Kai smiled and looked at the sobbing Chatty before he looked at Jeff.
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Jeff Lieberman. I’m Canadian.”
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, wanting to hand over Chatty to Kai.
Just as Kai was about to reach out to carry Chatty, she hugged Jeff’s neck tightly.
“Daddy, don’t leave me…”
She cried miserably, as her tears fell one by one. It broke everyone’s hearts to see her like this.
When Chatty was at home, everyone pampered her. Especially with Fischer as her companion, Chatty would only fake cry. It was rare for her to cry so hysterically.
That was why Kai chased Eric away immediately.
Kai’s eyes dimmed as he looked at Chatty in distress. He sighed and did not carry her forcefully. Instead, he gently placed a hand on her back.
“Chatty, you’re a good girl. I’m Uncle K, your favorite third uncle!”
Chatty sobbed and raised her head. Her red eyes were so pitiful.
“Oh. Hi, Uncle K.”
Kai smiled and stretched out his hands.
“Come on, throw yourself into my arms, and I’ll take you out to play!”
Chatty pouted. She touched Jeff’s face and was reluctant to part with him.
“But I want to play with Daddy.”
Kai smiled and glanced at Jeff.
“Oh, but Daddy is busy, so he can’t play with you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”
Kai winked at Jeff as a signal.
Chatty blinked her big eyes and looked at Jeff, weeping pitifully.
Jeff lowered his eyes in distress and tried to be more ruthless.
How could he stay?
But he was also reluctant to part with Chatty.
However, he could not show any flaws in front of Kai. Otherwise, things would end badly.
Jeff looked at Chatty gently and smiled. He said apologetically, “I really have something to do. You should go with your uncle, okay?”
Even if Chatty was very reluctant to part with her father, she also knew that she should not disturb her father’s work.
That was because Daddy said before that he wanted to make a lot of money to buy Planet Ultra for her.
Chatty wanted Planet Ultra too much, so she could only nod her head after deliberating. She sobbed aggrievedly and said, “Daddy, you have to come to see me soon. I’ll always wait for you.”
Jeff smiled and could not say a word.
The child in his arms was tender, fair, and cute. He was willing to give his life for her.
When she cried, his heart ached.
He could still remember the pain and longing when she was taken away from him.
Life was so cruel.
He had a dangerous childhood before he had unimaginable happiness.
Now, God took away his happiness and quashed his hope.
He only deserved to stay in a dark corner and watch his former family from a distance.
Kai took the opportunity to open his arms.
“Come on, baby. Let me carry you…”
Chatty reluctantly stretched out her hand and put it on Kai’s arm.
Kai understood this signal in seconds and carried her with both hands. She did not struggle, but she still sobbed.
“Come on. Say goodbye to this uncle.”
Kai reminded Chatty to be polite.
Chatty waved her hand. “Goodbye, Daddy!”
Roland was speechless.
Kai did not mind this. Anyway, Chatty would forget about it when she fell asleep.
He nodded at Jeff and carried Chatty toward Nicole’s room.
Roland, who was on the side, was about to follow when Jeff suddenly called out to him.
“Assistant Roland, you dropped something…”
