"When has daddy ever lied to you?" Kevin Kyle reached out his hand instinctively, he wanted to give his daughter a hug as usual.
But when he stretched out his hand, he realized that his daughter was half a world away. Even if he decided to fly there, it would take him at least one day to reach her.
Little Karen asked in a soft voice, "Daddy, I miss you so much. Why don't you come and be with me now?"
Little Karen could not understand at all. Her father was always by her side, so why did he not join her mommy and her this time?
Kevin replied gently, "Because daddy is busy with work."
"Daddy..." Little Karen was about to cry again. Her big fat tears welled in her eyes, they looked just like the most precious pearls on earth.
"Tell me, is it snowing in New York now?" Kevin immediately changed the subject because he didn't want to see his daughter crying.
"It's snowing. It's snowing really heavily. I'm at Auntie Faye's house now. Mommy and lazy Momo are at home sleeping." As expected, Little Karen stopped crying. She was busy introducing New York to her father.
Kevin added, "Oh, so it's snowing in New York. Then are you cold?"
The always-busy Director Kevin, whom people took months to make an appointment to see, was, at this moment, having all these small unimportant talks with his daughter.
"I’ve put on a really thick down jacket." Little Karen straightened her jacket and pointed at her beanie. "Thankfully I have this beanie on. It's not cold at all."
Kevin responded, "Oh, I was still wondering why my baby looks so cute today. Now I know, because you have put on new clothes and a new beanie."
"Daddy, I can play with the snow dolls in New York. But without you, it's not fun." In the Little Karen's heart, daddy was still the most important.
Kevin added, "Well... Should I buy some more snow dolls for you?"
Little Karen replied softly, "I want my daddy. I only want you. I don't want any snow dolls."
Kevin said, "Baby, I want to give you a task now. Once you finish it, I'll be there with you." "Daddy, what task?" Little Karen asked excitedly.
Kevin said, "First of all, you can't tell mommy about the video chat you're having with me. This is our little secret."
"Ok, I understand, I will definitely not tell mommy." Little Karen quickly covered her mouth and turned around to check.
Seeing Little Karen's mysterious and adorable look, Kevin's heart melted instantly. He really wanted to hold the little one in his arms and give her a kiss.
Which meant, he had to deal with those things as soon as possible. He had to sort out those people who had offended him and strive to fly to New York and hold her as soon as possible.
Kevin smiled and asked, "Baby, I asked you to take care of mommy and not let mommy be sad. Did you do that?"
"This morning, I said that I missed daddy and mommy wasn't very happy!" Little Karen remembered clearly that when she mentioned her daddy, mommy was upset immediately as if she was going to cry.
"When you mentioned about me, mommy got upset?" Kevin asked with a glimmer of hope even when he knew the answer.
"Yes." Little Karen didn’t know anything about the situation, hence she answered honestly.
"Ok, I understand." Kevin covered up his real emotion very well. He smiled and said, "It’s fine this time. From now on, you should continue to help daddy take care of mommy."
"You’re not mad at me, daddy?"
"You have done a good job. You should be rewarded. How can I be angry?"
