Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 1169

YunyiYunyi

“Sorry…Daddy,” Little Eggshell lowered her head with guilt.

“Daddy doesn’t need your apology, Daddy needs you to tell him why you trust great-grandfather so much.”

“Daddy, I’m hungry…” Little Eggshell suddenly changed the subject.

But, it didn’t work on Nangong Quan. Instead, he said to her, “Cai Er, Daddy will make things clear for you. If you still want stick to great-grandfather, that means you no longer want Daddy. Other kids don’t need to worry about this because other kids have loving grandfathers, but your great-grandfather is not like that.”

“Daddy…Great-grandfather’s nice…” Little Eggshell immediately spoke up for her great-grandfather

“Fine, if you choose Great-grandfather, you can go live with him. Daddy will no longer be with Cai Er. To protect you, there are some things that Daddy can’t tell you, and for your own good, there are some things that Daddy can’t let you do. But, if you think Great-grandfather treats you better, then go follow him.”

As soon as Little Eggshell heard this, her eyes began to turn red, “Daddy…do you not want Little Eggshell anymore?”

“It’s Little Eggshell that doesn’t want Daddy anymore. Do you know how much Mommy worries about you every day? Yet, you don’t appreciate her efforts and you even give Mommy attitude. Cai Er, you’ve been able to understand right from wrong since a young age, but not this time. You’ve made Daddy very disappointed…”

Nangong Quan spoke to Little Eggshell slowly in a gentle and understanding tone.

“Daddy won’t blame you if you decide to choose great-grandfather, but I will be heartbroken for a very long time knowing that my own daughter doesn’t trust me…”

“Daddy, I don’t want to be separated from you. I don’t want that.”

“But you don’t trust Daddy; you don’t have faith in my decisions anymore.”

Little Eggshell began to cry and whimper, but Nangong Quan did not place any pressure on her. Only after she finished crying, did he slowly ask her to explain everything, including the ideas that the old man had been feeding her.

This included the part where he said that a stepmother was different to a real mother.

After hearing from Little Eggshell, Nangong Quan did not say a word, but…he was deeply unsettled on the inside

After their chat, Little Eggshell fell asleep on Nangong Quan’s lap all the way until he finished work and carried her home. But, when he stepped foot into the living room, Elder Nangong was waiting for them.

As soon as Elder Nangong saw Nangong Quan carrying Little Eggshell into the living room, he said, “Let me carry her…”

“I can take care of my own daughter…” Nangong Quan refused.

“But, Cai Er likes being around me.”

“That was yesterday!” Nangong Quan said coldly. “Grandfather, now that things have gotten to this point, let me make things clear for you. Stop trying to drive a wedge between Cai Er and I; she’s my daughter. Also, stop trying to manipulate Cai Er so she can be used as a chess piece. I won’t allow that unless I’m dead!”

“Interesting…” the old man laughed.

Nangong Quan ignored the man as he carried Little Eggshell back to her room and placed her on her bed.

But, Little Eggshell suddenly sat up and hugged her father, “Daddy, I already woke up while we were on our way back. I heard what you said to Great-grandfather.”

“Although I don’t understand what a chess piece is, I can tell that it’s not a good thing.”

“Daddy, I’m sorry…”

“From now on, keep your distance from Great-grandfather, OK?”
