The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Upon hearing Dulcie’s pitiful voice, Casey felt her heart shatter and gently comforted her, “Dulcie, please don’t cry. I just rented a house nearby. You can come and play at my place in the future. Also, I have at kitchen here, so I can make lots of delicious food for you. How does that sound?”

“Really? Then, I’ll come over tomorrow. No, I want to go now!”

Immediately, Dulcie weakly replied, “But Daddy doesn’t allow it. He told me to go to bed, so I must go now. Miss Casey, can I come to your house tomorrow?”

“Of course you can. Go to sleep now, and see you tomorrow.”

She was about to end the call when she heard Symeon’s deep voice. “You didn’t say a word when you arrived and left without saying anything either. You’re really something. Is it because you wanted to see Dulcie cry for you?”

“Please, can you not speak so harshly? What do you mean by saying I just wanted to see Dulcie cry? I’m her biological mother, not a stepmother, I’m not that malicious.”

“You’re no different from a stepmother.”

After saying that, the man abruptly hung up, denying her the chance to retaliate and leaving her so furious that she couldn’t contain her anger.

However, she speculated that Symeon was busy coaxing Dulcie to sleep, making her feel slightly better. She helplessly smiled and shook her head. If Symeon hadn’t fallen in love with a married woman, he would actually be a responsible father.

Despite not being gentle and often stern, he never shied away from his responsibilities.

Just like the fact that he didn’t particularly like children yet still made an effort to get along with Dulcie.
