Emma was suddenly lifted off the ground. She stared straight at Steven's face, her expression full of surprise.
"Hey! I just got here."
Steven frowned, about to scold him.
Ethan, who had hurried over, quickly intervened and tried to smooth things over.
He didn’t want a headline tomorrow in the newspaper where the Lawrence heirs caused a scene here.
"Listen to your Daddy, okay? Let's go home together!"
Hearing this, Emma, who was dressed like Alex, blinked in confusion.
"Daddy? You're my dad!"
Steven looked puzzled. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Emma pouted. "I want to eat cake with Daddy. I've never had cake with Daddy before..." Her tears rolled down as she hugged him, with the soft arms surrounding his neck.
Ethan’s eyes widened. Was this really Alex?
Steven’s heart softened as he realized he hadn't paid enough attention to Alex, and a sense of guilt crept over him.
He nodded, picked Emma up, and went to place their order.
