Chapter 139 Felix
Seeing Daisy like this, Brenda knew there was no room for negotiation anymore.
Just as Daisy said, she felt this kind of life was what she wanted.
Vincent probably didn't try to make her stay either.
So be it.
Since their marriage was a mistake, let them handle it themselves.
If she said too much and made the two kids compromise because of her, that would be wrong.
Having figured this out, Brenda didn't try to persuade her. She just nodded gently, "Since this is the life you want, then that's fine. Brenda supports you."
Daisy had been preparing what to say, expecting Brenda to try to talk her out of it. But Brenda's simple statement caught her completely off guard. She looked at Brenda in surprise.
Meeting Daisy's gaze, Brenda felt a bit helpless and said slowly, "What? You thought I would try to persuade you?"
Hearing this, Daisy nodded, then shook her head.
Seeing Daisy like this, Brenda knew what she was thinking. She smiled gently, "I'm not that old-fashioned. Since this is what you two young people have decided, I naturally have no reason to force you to get back together. That wouldn't be good for either of you."
Brenda paused, as if remembering something, and looked at Daisy, "What about Luna?"
After all, when two people divorce, it's the child who suffers.
She knew that Luna was a good kid at heart.
"Luna is with Vincent."
Daisy didn't hide anything and told her honestly.
Brenda paused at this and sighed softly, "Daisy, I think you should try to get custody of Luna. After all, a child is only truly cared for when she's with her real mother. She's a piece of flesh that came from our body. As a father, Vince will have times when he can't look after her properly."
Daisy's eyes flickered as she looked at Brenda, understanding that Brenda meant well, but...
Luna's attitude before showed she didn't want her as a mother.
Of course, Daisy didn't tell Brenda about this. She didn't want to upset Brenda over such things.
Just as Daisy was trying to find an excuse to brush this matter aside, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Luna.
Seeing Luna's incoming call, Daisy was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Luna to call at this time.
Without thinking much, she answered the phone, her tone gentle, "Luna, what's wrong?"
"Mommy, I miss you. Where are you?"
Luna's childish voice came through the phone line.
"I'm at Brenda's house."
Daisy didn't hide anything and directly told her where she was.
"I don't believe you. I want to come find you."
Maybe because of what her classmate said today, she now doubted everything Daisy said.
Daisy didn't expect Luna to be so blunt about not believing her.
Daisy's sudden silence made Luna think she was really lying to her, and she immediately started making a fuss, "Mommy, I want to come find you. I don't care, I just want to!"
Hearing Luna's tantrum, Daisy felt helpless and had to agree.
"Okay. Tell daddy first, then come over. I'll wait for you at grandmother's house."
"Okay."
Luna agreed crisply and quickly hung up the phone, as if afraid Daisy would change her mind.
Brenda, who was nearby, asked after seeing Daisy end the call, "Was that Luna?"
Daisy nodded in response, "Yes, she wants to come find me."
"Good, let her come. Have her stay for dinner tonight. I haven't seen her in a long time anyway."
Brenda was very happy to hear Luna was coming and directly asked Simon to arrange dinner.
Simon gladly agreed.
About half an hour later, Luna arrived cheerfully.
But Daisy froze when she saw who brought her, "Felix? Why are you here?"
And bringing Luna too.
Daisy had come to the door to meet Luna, but didn't expect Luna to get out of Felix's car.
These two?
How did they end up together?
Brenda couldn't sit still either. She had just come out and saw Felix following behind Luna. Seeing Daisy's shocked expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Daisy, who is this?"
Daisy didn't answer Daisy's question. Instead, Felix greeted Brenda first.
"Hello, Brenda."
After greeting her, Felix looked at Daisy, blinked gently, and teased, "What? Not going to introduce me to Brenda?"
Daisy was stunned at his words. Coming back to her senses, she quickly stepped forward to introduce him to Brenda, "Brenda, this is my friend, Felix."
She understood, of course, that Felix's pointed words were testing her, wanting to see how she would introduce him to her family.
But Daisy really wasn't ready to start another relationship with Felix yet, so she could only use this vague way to introduce him.
Daisy's answer was within Felix's expectations.
And precisely because it was expected, he felt a bit disappointed.
Looks like he still needed to work harder!
But Felix didn't show it on his face. He very politely stepped forward and greeted Brenda again, "Hello, Brenda. I'm Felix. It's our first meeting, so I brought some gifts. Please don't think it's too much."
As Felix spoke, he went to his car and brought down quite a few gifts, looking exactly like a son-in-law visiting for the first time.
Felix's behavior was unexpected to Daisy. She looked at Felix in surprise, "Felix, what are you doing?"
Felix acted as if it was nothing, saying calmly, "First time visiting an elder, of course I should bring something. Otherwise, come empty-handed? I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know proper manners."
Felix's matter-of-fact attitude left Daisy speechless.
Daisy felt very helpless, "That's not what I meant."
What she wanted to say wasn't that at all. She meant that these gifts were a bit too much!
Seeing Daisy's helpless look, Felix's lips curved up. He leaned close to Daisy's ear, "I'm a suitor, after all. Of course I need to make a good impression on Brenda. Although I really wanted to hear you say I'm your suitor just now, it's okay. We can take it slow."
Hearing Felix's words, Daisy's cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She coughed lightly and changed the subject, "How did Luna end up coming with you?"
Normally, these two were completely unrelated.
How could Felix be the one bringing her over?
Didn't she tell Luna to tell Vincent?
Vincent actually agreed?
"I happened to go to Black Group. Luna was with Miss Drake's assistant at the time. I heard her call you saying she wanted to come find Brenda. I had just finished my business, so I told the assistant I was coming to see you too and could bring the child along. The assistant agreed."
Felix didn't hide anything and told Daisy why he and Luna were together.
Hearing Felix's words, Daisy frowned tightly, somewhat incredulous, "You're saying you ran into Luna at Black Group?"
