Crises in Love novel Chapter 183

I could see the hope in Monique's eyes. Just like the Dawsons, she had an insatiable greed that was hard to conceal.

Galen studied Monique with a grave expression, "First, you need to answer a question. Do you know why you're named Monique Dawson?"

I was taken aback by Galen's off-topic question.

Monique was confused as she whispered, "I only know that you gave me this name, but Dad never told me what it means."

I was sad. She had completely overlooked me, didn't even mention me, and instead spoke of Jaylan. Clearly, Jaylan held a significant place in her heart. It seemed as though everything she knew had to come from Jaylan, and I was expendable.

I noticed a subtle change in Galen's expression.

He spoke in a soft tone, "Alright then, I will tell you about your name today. Would you like that?"

Monique nodded, revealing her innocence. Her eyes were full of admiration for Galen, waiting attentively. It was to an expression rarely seen on her face.

Before this, she was always impatient and disdainful.

I was quite worried about her upbringing. She was a rebellious teenager who was hard to handle, especially Monique, who lacked my affection and was spoiled by her dad.

Although I knew this was something that couldn't be rushed, I saw hope in her now. In front of Galen, she was so well-behaved and eager to learn.

No wonder Galen said he could handle Monique's issues. When he first said it, I thought he was being presumptuous. He had no idea how hard it was to deal with kids. But now, I saw that he had tricks up his sleeve to handle the young one.
