Gemma followed Liam, carrying her satchel.
They caught the eyes of the people in the hotel lobby.
The little girl was so cute. The man was handsome, dashing but impassive.
Their eyes were too similar to distinguish from each other. The two of them look so interesting walking together!
Gemma looked at Liam in front of her, fascinated by his delicate features.
'Wow- He's sensationally good-looking and reserved, like a prince in a fairy tale.
But my daddy is much gentler than this cold fish!'
At the thought of this, Gemma missed her daddy and wanted to go home.
After all, Gemma was just a child.
"I'm hungry, brother. It's my dinner time."
"Hungry?"
Liam paused, looked around, and glanced at this little thing.
Gemma nodded and touched her stomach, "I'm starving."
Liam said nothing.
"Shall we go for a hamburger?" Gemma touched her stomach and pointed to the dining area, looking very hungry.
Liam was out of patience.
'She's the daughter of Anna and Ethan. It's none of my business whether she's hungry or not.'
Then, he turned around and strode off.
But Gemma refused to move.
Liam turned and picked her up.
He acted strongly with deep resentment and disgust.
But he didn't expect Gemma to put her arms around his neck and gave him a sweet smile.
"I'm so hungry." Gemma acted like a spoiled child in his arms.
"Really. I want a hamburger, brother!"
Although Liam made a sour face, his heart was softened.
"I'm so hungry my stomach rumbling." Gemma pouted.
"Keep quiet!" Liam hissed.
"I want a hamburger."
"No!"
Gemma pursed her lips, said with a tilt of her head,"
I'm really hungry, brother."
She looked very aggrieved.
Liam couldn't believe he thought the girl was a little cute.
'Oh, hell!'
Liam said coldly, "Hold on!"
Gemma blinked her eyes, and she was on the verge of tears, "My daddy said that girls should eat on time, otherwise we will lack nutrition and become unattractive."
Liam's face looked gloomier when he heard that. For some unaccountable reason, he was a little jealous.
"Look! I'm not your daddy. You're hungry. That's no concern of mine." Liam said querulously.
Gemma was near to tears, "I miss my daddy. I want to g o home."
Liam's countenance darkened.
He had planned to carry Gemma into the elevator. But just as he was about to get into it, he stopped and turned into the restaurant.
There were not many people in there.
Gemma happily chose a table by the window and ordered her favorite big hamburger.
She really enjoyed it. She munched the hamburger and supped some juice occasionally.
Liam looked quietly at the little girl eating and felt familiar as if he saw Anna sitting opposite eating.
'If only you weren't Ethan's daughter.
Would you like me better?
God! Why would I want to be closer to this little thing?
Wake up! Liam! That's not possible! She's Ethan's daughter!'
Liam's look became stormy at the thought.
Night fell.
Gemma was a little sleepy. When she finished, she leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
