This shouting of Daddy directly made Jeff Harris's heart melt. At this moment, he really hoped that he would be the father of this little girl.
And Selina Green, who was hugging the little girl, had a feeling of helplessness. How could she make her daughter understand that this man was not her father?
Jeff Harris smiled and looked at the little girl. "Carol, are you happy to see me?"
"Happy." The little girl said happily, and she wasn't sleepy anymore. She ran down to the ground from Selina's embrace and then ran over to Jeff Harris with excitement. She was less tall than his leg, and she raised her head to call him again sweetly. "Daddy."
Selina Green's scalp was numb again. She felt it was not good that her daughter always called him wrongly.
"Carol, didn't I say that? This Mr. Harris isn't your father. You can't call him like this. You can call him Uncle." Selina bent down to tell her daughter.
"No, no! I don't call Uncle. I want to call Daddy." The little girl said very coherently.
Selina was surprised that her daughter's language skills improved again.
"Okay, I don't mind. You can call me whatever you like." Jeff Harris squatted and stroked the little girl's head.
Selina Green's breathing was slightly paused. How could this be?
"Mr. Harris, I'm afraid that's not very good! Carol is not yet sensible. You can't let her call you that way. If she doesn't change her addressing to you, it won't be very good to you." Selina didn't hope her daughter to continue calling him like this. He was an unmarried person and suddenly had one more daughter. What if it affected him looking for a girlfriend?
"It is okay. I recognize Carol as my adoptive daughter. She can call me Adoptive Father. You can introduce me like this to outsiders." Jeff Harris stood up and said. He had decided that since he liked this little girl so much, he had to find a way to accompany her to grow up, and this method could not be better.
Selina Green was shocked. This was so sudden to recognize him as Carol's adoptive father.
"Miss Green, don't you agree? I don't know why I always feel that your daughter and I have a kind of father - daughter relationship. Even if we can't be real father-daughter, it is fine to be adoptive fatherdaughter. Besides I can take care of you guys in the future." Jeff said naturally.
His words did not make people uncomfortable or felt that he had any intentions. Selina just thought that he was kind.
"Of course, I don't have any opinions. I'm very happy that there is one more person to love Carol, but is it really okay for you?" Selina Green just didn't want to disturb his life.
"Of course it is okay for me." Jeff Harris was sure about this. Now, his mind was filled with the safety of their mother and daughter. He definitely would not allow the incident before. He wanted to protect this little girl safely during her growing up.
He felt that it was a responsibility of his.
The little girl suddenly hugged his thigh, her little face clinging tightly to his lap. "You're my daddy. You're my daddy."
Selina Green looked at her daughter speechlessly. Where did her daughter learn this? She didn't teach her! Why did she like this man so much? Could it be because they looked alike?
"Okay, I'll be your daddy in the future." Jeff Harris deliberately neglected the adoptive relationship.
On the side, Selina Green's pretty face turned red.
"Mr. Harris, stay here for dinner at night! If you don't dislike my cooking skills," Selina Green asked with a smile.
"Okay! Anyway, I'm fine today. I'm free." Jeff Harris smiled, and no work could disturb him staying with this little girl.
