Today is Cecilia’s birthday.


    -Baby Candy wants something for her birthday?


    Dn asked in a soft tone as he held his daughter, who was now seven years old and had grown considerably, in his arms and kissed the tip of her nose.


    Cecilia shook her head and wrapped her arms around her father’s neck.


    -There is no gift she wants, Candy just wants her daddy to be with her, to be happy and healthy with her daddy every day.


    As time went on, Cecilia knew it was not going to be easy to get her mother back.


    So she learned to hide her emotions and learned to keep all thoughts about her mother to herself.


    He knew his father was already upset too, so he couldn’t make him more upset.


    -Is there really nothing you want as a gift? -How about if at … we get Candy a yhouse? Do you want one?


    Dn looked at his daughter with a smile on his face, his heart full of pain.


    The more his daughter behaved and understood, the more difficult it was for him. She should have been carefree, she should have been innocent and lively, but because of the change, she had be extraordinarily well-behaved.


    -Candy is only seven years old, still a long way from being an adult.


    Cecilia shook her head and refused.


    -It’s fine. It’s like the ocean-themed hotel that Dad gave you when you were three or so. Leave it in the hands of a specialised manager and dad will set up an ount for you. We Candy don’t have to worry about anything, just look at our ount when we’re happy and count how much we have in assets.


    Dn said jokingly.


    -All right.


    Cecilia nodded at that.


    I could go for it if dad liked it.


    -So let’s go to the yground first, you always have to inspect the goods yourself, don’t you?


    In fact, Dn had said that just to get his daughter to go to the amusement park and to try to keep her entertained. After all, Candy was still a child and must be at the age when she enjoyed the yground the most.


    As a child, the little girl had loved to go and feed the smelt and swans, but since Vanessa had been taken away from the ranch and thus disappeared, the ranch had be a taboo for both father and daughter.


    More than three years have passed and they have not been to the ranch, let alone mentioned it.


    Dn wanted his daughter to remain as innocent and happy as any normal child, so he tried to fill the void of love left by Vanessa’s absence by finding ways to expose her to the outside world.


    -Good.


    Cecilia nodded seriously, unaware of her father’s intentions.


    Father and daughter set off immediately. After Mateo arranged for a bodyguard, father and daughter arrived at the yground hand in hand.


    Dn didn’t clear the ce on purpose, because a lively atmosphere is what makes a yground rxing.


    Wearing sunsses and holding a well-dressed Cecilia, the father and daughter attracted the attention of those around them.


    They were so used to the stares that they didn’t care.


    Dn bends down to pick up his daughter and asks her what she wants to y with first.


    -A little train? Or a merry-go-round? Or something exciting?


    Cecilia tilted her head to one side and thought seriously before making up her mind.


    Dad will do the merry-go-round with me.


    The kids at school said that mum always wore it, so she wanted to try it too.


    -All right.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Dn took his daughter in his arms and lined up to ride the carousel.


    Dn rode the cute carousel and yed with his daughter over and over again.


    Someone with a mobile phone took a photo of the scene and posted it on Facebook, where it received a flood ofments from users.


    -Vanisa, what are you looking at?


    Alonso came in from outside, nonchntly taking off his jacket and hanging it on a hanger, and approached Vanessa, looking at the screen of the phone he was holding.


    -Facebook?


    Vanessa went back to work and turned off the page.


    Smiling, he said:


    -I just identally happened upon a video in which the father interacting with his daughter was so touching that I couldn’t resist watching a few more.


    -Are you envious?


    Alonso said jokingly.


    Vanessa’s face flushed slightly and she shook her head, a little ufortably.


    -No.


    It was not that he was envious, but that the person in the video seemed familiar to him.


    -It’s okay, you don’t have to be envious. If you agree to my proposal, we can also make a baby right away. I believe that soon you will also have a beautiful and charming son who will make others envy you.


    -You’re joking again.


    Vanessa stared at Alonso.


    The rtionship had not changed since she followed Alonso home three years ago and lived with him as his fiancée.


    It couldn’t be helped that the woman Alonso hated so much still wouldn’t give up, threatening to stay married as long as Alonso did.


    God knows she and Alonso are fake fiancés, so of course they can’t get married, which is why they’ve dragged it out until now. The problem remains unresolved and she and Alonso are still amonw couple to everyone else.


    Vanessa is aware of Alonso’s feelings.


    She feels gratitude and feelings for him, but not love. If I had to say what it is, it would be affection. After three years together, she saw Alonso as a rtive and a friend, but not as a lover.


    -Vanisa, why are you so stubborn, what is it about me that isn’t good enough?


    Alonso knows that this love cannot be hidden, so he tells her in front of her.


    It was not the first time he had said something like today, as a joke and a test.


    -You are good. Don’t forget that there is a woman of high status waiting to marry you.


    Vanessa said with a yful face.


    -Please don’t mention it again,” Alonso immediately frowned in disgust, “After all these years, she won’t even give up. I still look at myself even though I’m engaged.


    The woman’s manner and tactics were not to Alonso’s liking, or even dislike.


    Naturally, he would not take kindly to the mention of the other woman.


    -All right, enough of that. I hear from my uncle that you are going back to China in the next few days?


    -Yes, there’s an academic exchange in the medical field and it happens to be in China, so I’m nning to go back. Do you want toe with me? I’m afraid if I leave you here alone, that nasty woman wille and bother you.


    I didn’t want Vanessa to get hurt because of him.


    -Good.


    Vanessa said with a nod of her head.


    The truth is that ever since she had seen the video, she had felt a strong desire to see the country again, as if there was someone there to whom she was attached.


    The sealed memories, though not yet opened, made her desperate to meet them in person.


    Vanessa’s heart tingled inexplicably as she thought again of the two sides of the video.
