A Love Trap

Deep in his heart, he prayed, 'Zed and I spoke in a low voice. Also, she is still quite young. I hope she didn't understand any of this.'

However, Dany was capable of understanding everything. And being her father, he knew how smart she was.

He braced himself for her reaction.

Cayn went forward to hug her but she resisted by taking a step back.

This shocked him. His hands were now hanging in the air; he didn't know where to put them.

Tears began to brim in her big eyes.

"You… You're not… You're not my daddy… I'm not… I'm not… your daughter."

As she spoke, tears began to flow down her cheeks.

Normal kids would wail and shout, but Dany was different.

She was the type of child that cried silently. Tears wouldn't stop falling, yet no sound came from her.

This sight pierced Cayn's heart. He couldn't bear to see her look so pained and miserable.

Thinking about the culprit who had caused this, he passed a fierce glare at Zed who was standing next to him.

Zed was a little annoyed. After all, he didn't do it on purpose.

'Why should I be blamed?

It's not like I knew Dany was there, ' he thought. He too wished she didn't understand anything from their conversation. But judging from her appearance, it was crystal clear that she had understood it all.

'Oh God! I am dead!' he realized.

Looking at his child, Cayn asked softly, "Honey, what are you talking about? How can I not be your daddy? Daddy brought you up. How could you say that?"

Words failed her. It took her some time to gather the courage to speak.
