Eira raised her head and looked at Delmont, but she did not say anything.
Delmont had a panic-stricken expression. He could not acknowledge Eira. Even if he cared for Eira very much in his heart, he could not acknowledge her at that moment. Just three days ago, there was a parentteacher conference in his daughter's class. During that time, every student had written an essay titled "M y Father." Brooke had praised him, her father, to be great and generous. The most important thing was that Brooke had mentioned many times in her essay that she was the only daughter. She was the little princess and the apple of her parents' eyes. At the end of her essay, Brooke even emphasized that she had seen too many children from single-parent families or blended families who were not so happy. She felt that children should be the happiest when they were with their original family. It was best when their biological parents had never been divorced. She even urged the parents of the little children in her class to never easily divorce and to not easily reconstitute their families. 1
At that moment, Delmont was wondering, how would the child think if he let Brooke know her own father was remarried? He absolutely could not let Brooke know. His daughter had good grades, was kind, was outstanding in all aspects, and was a proud little princess. Delmont absolutely could not let his daughter, who was the apple of his eyes, knew that he had remarried. Since Delmont could not let Brooke know, he had no choice but to let Eira be aggrieved. After all, Eira was two years older than her sister.
"Little beggar," Delmont called out.
Eira was instantly startled, then tears filled her eyes i n an instant. Those tears that filled her eyes were glistening like the twinkling stars. However, Eira held them back and did not let them roll down her cheeks. Eira was not the only one who was shocked. Even Joy could not help but glance at her husband. She did not expect that her husband would call the daughter he had with his ex-wife a little beggar. Originally, she still had a little guilt in her heart when she saw this child. However, once she saw her husband treating this child like that, Joy instantly felt relieved and justified.
Her gaze became gentle and she smiled. She gently reprimanded with a smile, "Delmont, I told you not to b e so kind, but you insisted on being kind. You can't pity a beggar these days. If you pity her once, she would be expecting that you'll do it again."
Eira was speechless. When Delmont saw Eira in front o f his mansion, he was also startled at first. Two years have passed since the last time Eira had come to ask him for money, and she never came to look for him again. At that moment, his business was thriving and his daughter was becoming more outstanding. The family of three were living a great and happy life.
Even for the matter of giving Eira allowances every month, he had already let his subordinates take care o f it. If it was not that Eira had once again appeared in front of him at that moment, Delmont already could have the peace of mind of not caring about this child that he had with his ex-wife.
Two years had passed. Eira had already grown up quite a bit, but as she was malnourished, she still seemed thin and small and was not different from two years ago. It was no wonder why Brooke recognized her at a glance.
"Little beggar, what are you doing here again? You're really so annoying." Brooke looked at Eira and the disgust in her eyes was unconcealable. 3
At that moment, Eira's appearance and height were not much different from two years ago. She was still wearing tattered clothes, but she was much cleaner and neater than two years ago.
