Chapter 1028

Nadine greeted them politely. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Leighton and Ms. Haab.” Her juvenile voice and cute countenance rendered her beyond adorable.

However, her voice was nasal. Thus, Rosalie asked, “Did Nadine catch a cold?”

“Yes, she caught a cold, so I brought her to the hospital for a checkup. What about you both?” Lucas asked

in return.

“Aiden’s cochlear implants got lost. We came to the hospital today to get new ones,” Rosalie answered. Beside her, Amelia noticed that Nadine’s hair was a little messy, so she crouched and said to the little girl, “Shall I help you tie your hair again? Otherwise, it’s going to fall out.”

Nadine blinked before nodding, comfortable with her, though she was a stranger.

Hence, Amelia took out a small comb from her bag and helped Nadine comb her hair.

Looking at Lucas, Rosalie said, “Congratulations on your marriage. Your child is even all grown up. Regretfully, we didn’t get to attend your wedding back then.”

Lucas was one of the few who did not regard her scornfully when she was at a low point in her life and even helped her. Thus, Rosalie had always been grateful to him.

Unexpectedly, Lucas smiled bitterly at her words. “My ex-wife and I are divorced.” He clearly didn’t want his daughter to hear it, for he deliberately lowered his voice.

“Sorry.” Rosalie murmured, a little embarrassed.

Lucas flashed her a faint smile. “It’s okay. Since we’re unsuited, it’s better to separate than to force ourselves to stay together. It’s better for the child than living in a home where her parents quarrel all day.” Just then, Amelia had already combed Nadine’s hair and braided it. Nadine skipped over to Lucas and asked, “Is it nice, Daddy?”

Lucas looked at his daughter’s neatly combed braid. It was indeed much better than his handiwork. Unknowingly, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Although he worked hard to be both her father and mother after the divorce, there were some things he could not do well when he was a man raising a daughter.
