"Lucille!" Noah's jaws dropped with what his daughter said.
Jess heard Noah's voice in the background reprimanding his daughter with her unexpected question.
"Give me the phone," he lowered down his tone when Lucille got startled by the sudden rise of his voice.
To say that he was shocked by her question was an understatement. Most of the time, Lucille would never ask this kind of direct question to anybody. But it seemed like, she was too comfortable with Jess and Luke that she has a very different personality when she's interacting with them.
Her lips quivered for another bout of crying.
"Let daddy talk to Little Miss Jessie first, then, you may speak with her again," he said in a gentler tone.
She handed back his phone to hear without looking at his eyes.
He got back the phone and stood up with her in his arms, "Hello, Jess, I'm sorry —"
"I have read your messages, how is she?"
