Even if he really didn't like the child's father, he had to admit that when a child acted adorably, it was truly heartwarming.
He glanced over at Emma Smith, who was indeed looking surprised, seeing him and Thomas Smith being so close, her face showing a gentle expression.
He didn't think his brother's words would really work! As long as he showed a little kindness to Thomas Smith, Emma Smith would be nice to him! Thinking about this, there was a slight bitterness in his heart, along with some regret.
What could he do? The woman he loved already had a child. Even if he didn't want to care about it or pay attention to it, this was a fact.
Unless he didn't want to be with Emma Smith, he would have to be nice to Thomas Smith, no matter how unwilling he was.
