Chapter 672 Daddy
ire''s decision did not surprise William.
Even if she did not bring it up, he was nning to find the right time to discuss it with her. The matter of
acknowledging kinship had to be addressed immediately.
William sighed and responded, “I really hope we can acknowledge our daughter sooner. A few days
ago, I met Avery in Horbah. My daughter was right in front of me, but I couldn''t acknowledge her. That
feeling was really awful. I''m her father, so seeing her thin and haggard appearance broke my heart.”
ire put down the brush, washed her hands at the faucet next to the drawing board, and then sat
down on the rattan chair. She rubbed her neck casually and said, “Will, I can''t wait any longer. Let''s go
to the Moore family this weekend and tell them the truth. We must im our daughter back!”
ire suffered from a rather severe cervical spondylosis. If she lowered her head for an extended
period, she would experience a piercing pain in her neck.
Upon noticing his wife''s subtle gesture, William hung his jacket on a nearby coat rack and then
proceeded to massage her neck and shoulders with both hands.
In order to alleviate his wife''s pain, William took it upon himself to find a skilled physiotherapist. Without
ire''s knowledge, he devoted time to learn various physiotherapy techniques from the expert. His
actions at the time were truly surprising. No one could have imagined the esteemed William would go
to such lengths for his wife.
ire knew her husband loved her deeply. Over the years, she had reciprocated with equal affection
and care.

Hence, the couple had been through thick and thin for many years and had never had a fallout. Their
love remained as strong as it was in the early days when they started their rtionship.
As William massaged his wife, he said, “You should cut back on painting oil portraits in the future. It
might help alleviate your neck pain. Besides, your skin is so delicate, many of the chemicals in oil
paints can cause you allergies. Don''t you remember that one year when you were so engrossed in your
painting that you forgot to eat and sleep, and that caused you to suffer an allergic reaction? You had to
be rushed to the hospital for an IV drip the next day.”
He could not help but give her a piece of his mind.
Thinking back on that embarrassing incident, ire justughed it off. “That incident happened in my
younger days. Why bring them up now? Besides, the quality of oil paints has improved, so all the
harmful substances to the human body have been significantly reduced. Painting is my greatest
passion, so I can''t give it up. Even if I were to give up business, I would never give up painting.”
When ire was studying, she majored in oil painting. William knew how much his wife was obsessed
with oil painting. When they first met, it was because he saw her in a white dress, painting amidst the
flowers. Her gentle and charming demeanor, along with her captivating artworks, made him fall in love
at first sight.
Although she switched to business afterpleting her studies, she never stopped painting. Many of
her works have been showcased in major exhibitions in the country and abroad, winning quite several
gold awards. As time went by, many art institutions and private collectors, both domestically and
internationally, also collected her masterpieces.
ire, renowned both domestically and internationally, was a highly influential artist in Ackleton.
Yet, such honor brought ire endless troubles. Many people sought her paintings, willing to spend a
fortune. Some even tried to bribe her under the guise of requesting artwork. Nheless, she outright
rejected them. She even dered that anyone who attempts to engage in dirty deals under the pretext
of seeking her paintings would be severely punished.
William had also been decisive and swift in seizing the opportunity to deal with a few of the individuals
who attempted to bribe her, demonstrating his determination to weed them out. Seeing the incorruptible
demeanor of William and his wife, those with ulterior motives finally gave up.
William gently kneaded ire''s shoulders. “You have a talent for painting, and our daughter has
inherited it from you. Although I''ve never seen her paint, I have seen the architectural designs she drew
for her father. Many famous architects have designed houses for that picky old man, but he was never
satisfied. Only Avery''s design caught his eye. ire, our daughter indeed has talent in design.”
ire nodded proudly. “Of course. Even if our daughter is not the best, she''s definitely not far from it.
Do you know why I suddenly thought of visiting the Moore family to im back our daughter?”
William took a wild guess. “Is it because she lost her husband and no longer receives support from the
Moores? Are you afraid that she might be bullied? You want to acknowledge her so that the Lambert
family can support her, right?”
ire held William''s hand, turned to her husband, and gently shook her head. “That''s just one of the
reasons. Allie has always been arrogant, domineering, and mean. She has always looked down on
Avery because of me, even though she was her daughter-inw. Not only did she treat her with
hostility, but she also med our daughter for Cayden''s idental death, calling her a jinx. If it weren''t
for Jeffrey, Allie would have definitely kicked Avery out of the Moore family without hesitation.”
William narrowed his eyes and momentarily halted his massage. “How dare she? My daughter should
walk out with her head held high even if she leaves the Moore family, not be driven out by them. As
long as I''m here, I''d like to see who dares to throw my daughter out!”
ire let out a light chuckle, gently patting William''s hand, signaling him to stop.
She rose from her chair, walked over to the nearby cab, pulled out a file from within, and handed it
to her husband.
With a puzzled look, William took the file, carefully flipping through the pages. The more he read, the
more shocked and thrilled he became.
His hand began to tremble slightly, beyond his control. “W-When did you obtain this?”
ire exined, “When I went to take care of Avery, I found two strands of hair on her pillow and took
them to the hospital for a DNA test. The results confirmed that she''s indeed our biological daughter.
Will, the reason I want to acknowledge Avery is because I learned that she encountered great
difficulties while fundraising. I want to help our daughter ovee this hurdle. My poor child has led a
tough life, living in misfortune since she was a child. Just when she finally found her own happiness as
an adult, her husband faced a tragic ident. It''s incredibly challenging for a woman to raise three
children on her own. I can''t just stand by and watch our daughter struggle to get help.”
Though William knew that Avery was his daughter for quite some time, the DNA test confirming her
identity still gave him quite a visual shock.
William nodded repeatedly. “All right, ire. I''ll follow your lead. We must acknowledge our daughter as
soon as possible.”
Nicole was holding a te of freshly cut fruit and standing outside the door, ready to bring it to her
parents.
She overheard her parents'' conversation and learned they wanted to acknowledge Avery as their
daughter. Even though Nicole had mentally prepared herself, she still felt ufortable and
overwhelmed with jealousy. What am I going to do when Avery returns to the Lambert family?
Meanwhile, three adorable babies were sleeping soundly in the vi.
The twin siblings were sleeping in deep slumber on therge bed, while Cal, sucking on his pacifier,
was fast asleep in his cradle. A faint smile yed on his tiny face as if he was having a sweet dream.
Gazing quietly at the three children''s delicate faces, Avery found a moment of tranquility, and all her
worries seemed to fade away.
“Daddy...” Suddenly, a soft murmur escaped from Rory''s lips as she slept.
Although it was a gentle murmur, it struck Avery''s heart heavily.
