The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Dulcie nodded and said, “Yeah, because if Miss Amanda becomes my mommy, I can play with Aiden every day.”

Upon hearing this response, Casey breathed a sigh of relief. So, it was for this reason. She had thought Dulcie had genuinely taken a liking to Amanda, liking her as a mother.

Suddenly, Dulcie seemed to spot something and instinctively hid beside Casey, her happy expression disappearing.

Casey followed Dulcie’s gaze and was startled to find Symeon standing at the front of the dining table.

“You… What are you doing back?”

Symeon looked at the harmonious scene in front of him and said sarcastically, “If I didn’t come back, how would I know you’re here corrupting my daughter every day.”

“When did I corrupt Dulcie?” Casey retorted defensively. This man was incredibly hurtful; she hadn’t taught Dulcie anything bad.

Symeon removed his suit jacket and hung it over the back of a chair before sitting down.

At that moment, the nanny approached. “Mr. Lawrence, you’re back. Would you like me to set another place at the table?”

Symeon responded with a simple nod. The nanny quickly brought over another set of tableware, along with a plate of pasta.

At that, he turned his attention to Dulcie and tried to sound gentle. “Dulcie, come sit next to Daddy. I’ll feed you.”

“Daddy, I don’t want to. Casey can feed me.”

Symeon turned grim at once, and he huffed, “Eat if you want to; I don’t care.”
