"Really?” Mark's long eyebrows were raised questioningly to tease her.
"Really." Charlotte nodded her head like a pigeon. "I will eat it, Mark. Look."
She plucked three grapes at a time with her tender hand, and then popped them all into her small mouth. Her round face bulged even rounder. She looked adorable and innocent. At the same time, she did not forget to lick her pink lips. "Look, it is very sweet this time. I'm not lying."
The corner of Mark's lips turned up. He leaned forward and ate a few grapes from her hands.
"Mark, why didn't Mommy take me away with her today? Will she really come to see me tomorrow?"
"She will..."
Charlotte was relieved and looked around the living room. "Where is Kaka?"
"It is having a shower. It will be sent over in a while."
Acting mysteriously, Charlotte put her mouth to his ear and said in a very low voice. "Let me tell you a secret, Mark." "What secret?"
Her dark eyes rolled in her eye sockets a few times, and then her innocent but serious voice came. "I don't hate you very much now.”
Such simple words were enough to ease his sullenness. The corners of his lips curved upward.
Yvette furrowed her willow eyebrows as she looked at the interaction between the two. Mark did not answer her question, but she could see that he was pampering and indulging the child.
But it did not matter to her whether Mark wanted custody of the child or not.
