"What makes you think I don't miss you?"
"If you miss me, you'll be eager to come back to visit." Natalia pouted, looking aggrieved.
Gong Jie found that rather difficult to bear. He ran his fingers lightly over the screen, as if he was touching her face.
"Daddy will come home and spend some time with you in a while, okay?"
Natalia didn't seem satisfied with the answer. "And when will you come home?" she pressed on.
"Um, in a few days."
"Well… how many days?"
Gong Jie creased his brow slightly. He didn't know what his schedule would be like in the coming days, so it was impossible to give her an immediate answer. But if he tried to be perfunctory and made an appointment with the girl that he couldn't keep, she would end up disappointed in him and he would lose credibility with her.
So he had to answer that question with due consideration.
