Emma, who was lying on Dempsey's shoulder suddenly raised her head when she heard her mother's receding footsteps. Immediately, she pouted, cried, and shouted, "Mummy, where are you going?"
"I... I'm going out for a walk." Claire did not dare to turn her head. She's afraid that if she did, her tears would fall.
"Are you going back? Mummy, I will go back with you!" She was afraid that her mother will leave by herself, and not bring her along. Although she decided to stay and eat the big cake prepared by her father, she wanted to be her mother more.
Just as Dempsey was enjoying the intimacy he is having with his daughter, he suddenly realized that the little fellow is anxiously struggling to get down.
When Claire heard her daughter's words, her uneasiness decreased a little. Still not daring to look back as her tears started to fall, "No, I'm not going back yet. I'm just... I need to go to the washroom."
When Old Gary heard her, he politely pointed out a direction, "Ms. Claire, the washroom is this way."
Claire quickly walked out.
Emma blinked her big eyes, turned her head and look at her father, and then looked at her mother that had disappeared out of sight.
"Emma, your Mummy has just gone to the washroom. I will accompany you to play, okay? What would you like to play?" Dempsey immediately seized the opportunity to get his daughter's favor.
"Daddy, why don't you accompany Mummy to pee? I feel that she will get lost on her way." The innocent little fellow still did not know what was wrong with her statement, as well as the great difference between males and females. She only felt that id other people's fathers were like this, her father and mother would definitely be able to do the same.
When Old Gary heard this, he could not help but let out a laugh.
Dempsey's handsome face also flushed red from embarrassment. "Ugh. Uhm, that... Emma. I'm afraid your Mummy will beat me up!" Dempsey did not know whether to laugh or cry. With such a cute treasure, Dempsey is sure that his future life would not be boring anymore.
"Mummy is nice, I promise that she will not hit you. I saw her running out just now. It's so big here, she will definitely not know her way." What Emma is most worried about right now is that her mother will lose her way. If she could not find the washroom, what will she do?
"Alright. I'll go lead the way for her. Can you play here with Old Gary?" Dempsey really could not reject his daughter's request. Although the request is extremely absurd, he complied. Of course it was impossible for him to actually go to the washroom with Claire.
"Yes, Daddy. Hurry up and catch up to Mummy." Emma is immediately happy.
Dempsey walked out of the hall with big strides. He looked around and frowned. He did not see Claire Scott's figure. 'Where did this woman go? Did she not find the washroom? Did she really got lost?' Of course, Dempsey did not believe that Claire would actually do, thus he walked out of the villa. From afar, he saw a frail and delicate figure standing at the edge of the beach shore, looking at the tranquil waves of the sea. "What is she doing?" He muttered to himself softly. Dempsey is unable to understand this woman's strange behavior. Just a moment ago, she was pretending that she was going to snatch his children, but now, she actually ran over to his beach to watch the waves. Could it be that this woman is also attracted to his strong family background?
"What are you doing?" An indifferent voice rang behind Claire.
Claire, who is feeling hurt and wronged suddenly froze. It was too late to wipe the tears and snot on her face. However, she didn't want to let this man see her crying pitifully. In a moment of desperation, she immediately kicked off her shoes and quickly ran forward a few steps before diving into the sea.
"Are you crazy?!" Dempsey was really surprised by her actions. Right after that, he quickly ran over and tried to pull her back.
