Timothy was briefly taken aback; Ginger’s smile seemed to penetrate through him, instantly melting his hardened heart.
Ginger approached him cautiously, her small face tilted toward him as though silently asking him to clean it for her.
Despite his usual composure, Timothy found himself oddly flustered at this moment.
He awkwardly uttered. “You can handle it yourself.”
Ginger clumsily placed the cake box down and reached for the wet wipes in his hand, slowly cleaning the vanilla cream from her face.
However, unable to see where the cream was, she unintentionally spread it further across her face.
Timothy furrowed his brow as he reached for another wet wipe, carefully cleaning her face.
Just then, Caleb barged in through the door. “Tim, why did you call me up here? Hey–what’s this little thing doing by your side?”
“You’re the one who’s the ‘thing‘ here!”
Upon hearing the reprimand, Ginger immediately pouted and turned away, her eyes filling with tears as she glanced at Caleb.
Observing Ginger’s tearful expression, Timothy frowned and turned to Caleb. “You have some explaining
to do.”
Moments ago, Timothy had dismissed the similarity in their names as a mere coincidence.
But now, it seemed increasingly likely that Ginger was here specifically to find Caleb.
Caleb was utterly bewildered. “Explain what, Tim? Is this your secret daughter?”
Nonetheless, how could she bear such a striking resemblance to Mia?
Hadn’t Mia passed away four years ago?
At the mention of a “secret daughter“, Ginger grew flustered. “I’m not a hidden child!“.
Timothy shot Caleb a piercing glare. “She seems to be searching for you. Care to explain?”
“Searching for me? That can’t be. She must be looking for you. Can’t you see the resemblance?”
Timothy’s expression darkened as he looked at Ginger. “He’s Caleb, Are you sure he’s the person you’re looking for?”
“Yes, he’s my daddy!”
Ginger’s revelation left Caleb stunned, causing him to lose his balance and fall off the couch.
His expression resembled that of someone who had just discovered two lines on a pregnancy test. appearing utterly innocent.
After a brief moment, Caleb eventually composed himself. “Tim, she’s not my daughter. It’s impossible!”
“She’s here looking for you. How can it be a mistake?”
“But she isn’t mine, I assure you.”
Ginger couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.
She cried out, her voice a swirl of both anxiety and sadness, “Daddy, is it because I’ve been naughty that you don’t want me anymore? But I’m a good kid! Wah…
Her sweet voice was now tinged with sobs.
Timothy couldn’t help but sympathize with her. His gaze turned cold as he stared at Caleb. “You’d better think carefully before you speak. A real man takes responsibility.”
“Damn it, she’s not even my daughter. What responsibility should I take? Embrace fatherhood with open arms?” Caleb pondered to himself.
