Selina Green was completely stunned. She looked at her three-year-old daughter in her arms. How could she appear 20 kilometers away? Moreover, Mila Green clearly said that she placed her at the door of her house.
"Sir, are you sure my daughter is 20 kilometers away? How did you find her at that time?" Selina Green couldn't help but want to understand this carefully.
Jeff Harris thought for a moment, "I'm sure, at noon three days ago, I went back to my old residence. In the garden, I heard the child's voice. I chased more than ten meters before I found this little girl. She was looking for you."
"In your house? How could my daughter get in there?" Selina was so frightened that her back was cold.
"Miss, don't you know how your daughter was lost?"
"I'm an actress and I've been filming outside for the past few days. My stepmother's daughter came to my house and forced to take my daughter away. She said she wanted to take her home and let my dad have a look. Who knows she will let her get lost? And she said that she placed her downstairs in my district. Why would she appear in your yard if it was?"
"Then she must tell a lie. This child had come in from an iron fence in my yard. Besides, there was a half-meter-high wall outside the iron fence. If no adults stuffed her in, she would not be able to climb up," Jeff Harris said as he carefully recalled the situation in the courtyard. The more he thought about it, the more he felt things went wrong.
"Mummy, Aunt said she took me to look for my daddy." The little girl suddenly said innocently. In front of Selina, she was willing to say more.
"She said she would bring you to look for your daddy? Then what? She sent you into that garden?" Selina Green was so angry that she was trembling. Mila Green was so vicious that she wanted to harm her daughter.
"Aunty said Daddy is inside!" The little girl seriously tilted her head to answer her.
Jeff Harris's expression also slightly changed. He realized that this child was intentionally tucked in, and she lied to the little girl that her father was inside, so the child came in.
"Carol, why are you so stupid? How can you believe what she said?" Selina Green was so furious. Mila Green was simply a murderer.
The little girl saw that her Mummy was angry. She flattened her mouth with grievances. "I want Daddy."
"Your father is not in this world anymore. Don't look for him anymore, okay?" Selina Green resisted her anger and comforted her daughter with the gentlest voice.
The little girl turned her head to look at Jeff Harris. Her eyes were bright and she replied tenderly,
"He's Daddy."
Jeff Harris understood now. It turned out that this little girl had suddenly regarded himself as her father. Obviously, because her aunt had told her that there was her father inside, and then when she saw him, she naturally thought that he was her father.
Selina Green knew that it was difficult for her to explain to her daughter at this moment. She said to Jeff Harris, "I'm sorry, sir, my daughter isn't too sensible. She misidentified you. Don't take it seriously."
"Her father is no longer living?" Jeff Harris squinted. He was a little surprised that she was so young that she became a single mother.
A complicated thought flashed through Selina's eyes. She nodded, "Yes, the child's father is dead."
She wouldn't lie to him if she said that, because she would never find the child's father, and she wouldn't even look for him.
