His calling her a "friend" left her speechless. After all, she had said at the time that if she didn't accept the money, they couldn't even be friends.
"Alright, fine, but we're just friends," she emphasized. Andrew Lee didn't push further, only smiling at her words.
"Uncle Andrew is biased!" At this moment, the little one holding Andrew's hand protested. Andrew ruffled his hair, "Of course, Uncle Andrew will always be Tommy's best friend, too."
Only then did the little one smile happily. Emma Smith immediately pulled him back into her grasp, holding him tightly.
Her attitude clearly showed everything – she didn't want Tommy to have any closer contact with him. Perhaps in the past, she had considered a relationship with Andrew Lee and watched as he slowly developed a bond with Tommy. But now, the involvement of Robert Thomson and Dylan King had worn her down.
Not to mention, she still had a lifelong attachment to Robert within her belly.
