Chapter 905

Father... They would probably never get over this.

"Lyla, about this..."

Before Olivia could finish speaking, Lyla suddenly shouted toward the door, "It's Daddy!”

Olivia looked around and saw John walk in.

Lyla wanted to run toward him, but Olivia pulled her back. "Lyla, he's not your father. Don't call him that."

John's eyes flickered with loneliness as he paused.

"But I saw him when I was video-calling you, Mommy."

"It's not him."

However, Lyla did not believe her. She looked at John with a stern little face. "Then why was he in the video?

Besides, my nose looks like his nose, so he must be my father."

Olivia was annoyed. "Lyla, why won't you listen? I told you he's not him because..."

She glanced up at John coldly and said through clenched teeth. "Your father's dead."

Lyla burst into tears, "Mommy, I want a father. I don't want to be a child with no father. When I was at kindergarten,

the others made fun of me for not having a father. Someone even said that you're a homewrecker and that's why I

don't have a father."

Olivia's heart sank as she glanced at John and hugged Lyla again.

"Don't listen to those people. They're talking nonsense.’

"But why don't I have a father when everyone else does?"

She did, but her biological father rejected her and called her a bastard four years ago.

She could not allow the same thing to happen again.

Since John refused to acknowledge the child four years ago, he did not deserve Lyla.

Besides, she was Phoebe now, not Olivia.

What did John have to do with Phoebe's daughter?

She wanted Zac to pretend, but now that her relationship with Zac was in such a state, it was unsuitable to do so.

Just as Olivia was wondering what to do, Sam wiped Lyla's tears and said gently, "Lyla, not only do I not have a

father, but I also don't have a mother. If Godmother hadn't kindly taken me in, I'd still be on the streets.

"But Lyla, look. You've got a mother, an uncle, me, and Mr. Lucas. You've got a lot.

"Not everyone can have everything. You don't understand the adult world yet. Stop making a fuss. You'll upset your

mother."

Sam was unclear about the past, but he did know that Olivia did not want to acknowledge John.

If they kept this up, things would get ugly.

Ken also pushed John at this time. "Hurry, say something."

John thought Olivia would acknowledge him when Lyla said so.

Unexpectedly, Olivia was so determined.

It seemed that there was still a long way to go.

John stepped forward, leaned over, and rubbed Lyla's soft hair. "Sorry, I'm only your mother’s friend."

With tears still hanging from her long lashes, Lyla looked at him doubtfully." Uncle, are you really not my father?"

The question made him sad.

He glanced up at Olivia only to get a nasty glare. He could only say with a nod, "Yeah, I'm not."

"Do you know my father, then?"

He shook his head. "I don't know him, but I believe your father isn’t a good man, or he wouldn't have left an

adorable girl like you behind."

Lyla bit her lips aggrievedly. "Really?"

"Yeah, really."

John felt tightness in his chest.

He thought he would not care much about his daughter before meeting Lyla. However, he realized how lovely the

little girl was after meeting her in person.

She was so adorable that he could not bear to lie to her.
