"I'm sorry for the trouble." Aria couldn't help but apologize.
However, George didn't find Ivy troublesome at all and quite liked the girl. Jokingly, he said to Aria, "Why be sorry? Ivy is so well-behaved and adorable. I wish she were my own daughter."
George's comment about wanting Ivy as his own daughter was sincere. In his heart, he truly wished that she were his biological child.
But when Aria heard those words, she knew something different. Only she knew that Ivy was indeed George's daughter, but she couldn't say anything.
Ivy was already asleep on George's shoulder, her little mouth making cute noises.
Aria walked behind them, watching father and daughter, feeling incredibly satisfied.
Soon, they arrived at Aria's house. Concerned, George carried Ivy upstairs, never letting Aria help.
Grateful, Aria wanted to invite George in for some tea, but he declined as he had to discuss something with Jack West and left shortly after.
