Chapter 651: Chapter 651: I Don’t Need You

Hearing these words, Stuart froze.

He’s prepared lots of words. But all words were choked at his throat. He couldn’t even say a word out. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Was his daughter warning him just now?

He cleared his throat and said, "I am your mother’s friend. I saw her here. So I want to visit her. But I haven’t gotten a good chance to visit you..."

"Friend? But shouldn’t you say you are my father?" the little girl leaned her head aside and asked confusingly.

"How do you know this?" Stuart was so surprised.

Many kids were coming and going around them. It was not a good place for them to talk. So Laty pointed at the playground and walked away.

Seeing this, Stuart raised the corner of his mouth.

Her mother would never be so rampant—such a proud girl.

Laty sat on the swing and continued, "Edie is such a foolish woman. She thought I would never know if she changed her name. But your stories were known to everyone in A. I could know who my father was only by finding some news that year. But she tried her best to keep this secret. I really didn’t want to undermine her self-confidence."

"So, you know I am your father, at the moment I met with you?" Stuart smiled slightly.

"Yes. But Edie never mentioned you to me. I think she might not want to see you again. So I don’t think I have to talk to you."

"So, why do you talk to me now?"

Stuart looked at the little girl in front of him, curiously. She was so clever that he reminded himself. He was also so clever at an early age.

Laty thought for awhile and answered him seriously, "I have read all the news about you that year. I think you had hurt Edie before. That might be the reason she chose to leave you. She never mentioned you these years. So I can pretend that I never learn this. But you appeared around me so frequently these days. I don’t like that. You’d better go where you belong to. Don’t bother us. We are fine. You don’t have to worry about anything."

"I can take care of you. Edie has one more helper, isn’t this a better choice?" Stuart raised his eyebrows and asked Laty.

"I can take good care of myself and my mother. I don’t need you." she raised her eyes. On her face, Stuart saw her naughty smile, like a tricky fox.

Hearing her rejection, Stuart squinted.

He wanted a daughter rather than a son because he was worried that his son might take his wife away.

But he never expected that his daughter could also take his wife away.

"Which one is responsible for washing clothes, washing dishes, sweeping floors, and cooking for you at your house?" Stuart raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Laty’s eyes turned dim when hearing this question. She answered in a low voice, "Me....

"From now on, I can wash clothes, cook, sweep floors, wash dishes, and feed your pets for you. I can also be your driver for free. So, could you allow me to be your father?"

"..."

Hearing Stuart’s suggestion, Laty fell into silence.

She never expected that her father was such a wonderful opponent. He was so good at this.

When she hesitated, she raised her eyes, seeing a foxy smile on her father’s face. Holy crap.

This tricky man was so powerful. Obviously, he came to take her Edie away.

Actually, she couldn’t understand. Edie was bad at everything. When she cooked, she could fire the kitchen up. When she washed clothes, all clothes might be ruined. When she swept the floor, the house was covered with mud.

Except for taking photos, Edie was useless completely. Why did her father want to take her away from her?

Laty cleared her throat and said, "Do you really think you can buy me off with this?"

"It wouldn’t hurt you at all to have a wealthy, powerful father. Besides, no one else in your school has a father as handsome as me. Everyone would be jealous of you."

"...."

All his words fitted her need.

Seeing the hesitation on her face, Stuart kept on, "Try to imagine. Your handsome father and your gorgeous mother went to the parents meeting for you, how would that look?"

"Mr. Yates, let’s set rules." Laty finally made the decision.

Stuart knew he already got the victory. He crossed his hands on his chest and looked at her with his black eyes amusingly.

"How to set rules?"

"I acknowledge that you are my father. But you should promise to me you should keep your words. Everything you’ve said just now, do it all for me."

"Sorry. I am not dealing with you. I am dealing with your mom. I don’t mind whether you acknowledge or not as long as your mother acknowledges."

"..."

Laty was really shocked by his words. She has made a huge concession to acknowledging that the man in front of her was her father. He dared to turn up his nose at her.

Was he dissing her just now?

"From now on, you should help me seek after your mother. And keep another man away from your mother when I am not around her. After I manage to move into your house, I promise I would handle all the housework for you," Stuart said in an easy voice as if he would definitely succeed.

"Great," Laty replied immediately.

Suddenly, she realized something. She padded her brain and screamed out, "Oh my god. I left Sophie in the washing room."

She rushed to the washing room immediately. The class was already on. Only Sophie was in the washing room. Apparently, she didn’t take any toilet paper. She hadn’t learned to wipe her ass. So she had no choice but to cry out on the toilet.

So loud.

At noon, when Laty opened her lunch box, her new father walked to her with lots of guards in black. All of them took a dish. All the dishes looked so yummy.

"Do you want to join me?" Stuart asked.

Looking at the food Edie cooked for her, Laty hesitated again. Edie was really bad at cooking. Compared with that food Stuart took here, these foods were like rubbish.

Therefore, Laty gave up her lunch box calmly and joined Stuart.

That was totally okay. To get the best, she should learn to be flexible. Sometimes, she didn’t have to insist on something.

Then Stuart held her lunch box, "Your mother did this?"

"Yes. Quite bad at cooking."

Stuart took a bit. Then he smiled happily.

Compared with those dishes she made five years ago, she’s made huge progress.

He didn’t expect that she cooked by herself for all these years. It was his fault. He wouldn’t make this happen again.

At night, when Edie arrived at home, she smelt the delicious food immediately. She was starving after working for a whole day.

She changed her high heel and stretched her body, "Laty babe, I’ve come home."

Hearing Edie’s voice, Laty walked out of the kitchen immediately. She wore an apron and took a slice at hand, "Come on, dinner is ready."

"Good girl. How’s school?"

"So good."

They sat on the table and started enjoying dinner. Laty rolled her eyes for a while and asked Edie, "Edie, have you ever thinking about getting married again?"

Edie was eating soup while Laty asked this question. The soup almost choked her.

She raised her eyes, staring at Laty in shock and coughed out, "Why do you ask this question? I’ve already told you. I wouldn’t get married again. That is insulting to your father that passed away."
