“Dulcie, would you like me to be like a mom to you?” Casey gently touched Dulcie’s delicate cheek.
Dulcie blinked and nodded. “Yes, I want Dad to be with you. Is that okay?”
“Well… Dulcie, being an adult is not as simple as it seems. How about we just go to bed?”
Dulcie pouted in disappointment. “I know you don’t like Dad. I mean, he’s so mean…”
“No, I don’t dislike your dad.”
“So, you do like him, right?” Dulcie’s eyes widened in happiness upon hearing that.
Casey smiled helplessly.
Dulcie was a really persistent girl. She must have gotten that trait from that man since Casey wasn’t very persistent herself.
Morning arrived.
Casey had just intended to help Dulcie fall asleep last night. Unexpectedly, she ended up falling asleep with Dulcie because she was too tired.
When she woke up, Dulcie was nowhere to be seen.
Where is she?
She immediately sat up, feeling anxious, and hurriedly rushed out of the room. “Penny, where’s Dulcie? Why isn’t she in the room?”
Penny smiled upon seeing Casey’s flustered and worried appearance and replied, “Don’t worry, Dulcie has already been taken to kindergarten by the driver. She specifically told me not to wake you up, saying she wanted you to sleep a little longer.”
What a considerate child.
She then asked, “And him? Did he already
