Georgia didn't know how to continue on this conversation. There was something about Annie that Georgia couldn't figure out.
"Yes, I did ask this question. I was just wondering if you would like to believe in this possibility?"
Georgia didn't know where the paternity test between Annie and Robert had gone wrong. But, it wasn't like she had ever lost her memory or had ever had another man. Annie had already had a paternity test with Georgia, and she was her daughter. So, Annie being someone else's child was unfeasible.
But the paternity test kept failing, and Georgia still couldn't figure it out.
Robert suddenly held Georgia's hand.
"Have you been worried that I will treat Annie badly, that Annie is not my biological daughter and that it will affect our relationship? In fact, you don't need to be afraid. As long as she is your daughter, I will love her as if she were my own daughter… Even if the two of us will have children in the future, I promise to you that I will not be partial to the children. Do you believe me?"
So that was what Robert thought?
He thought Georgia was worried that he would mistreat Annie?
Georgia couldn't help but feel amused.
"Robert, I believe in you."
However, Robert didn't believe Georgia's words. Georgia obviously cared for Annie. Even when he wanted to see Annie, Georgia had hesitated for a long time. She was clearly afraid that Annie wouldn't accept him.
But, Robert was a little anxious in this regard. He wanted Annie to accept him sooner. Once Robert had taken care of the Lane family's affairs, he planned to marry Georgia. But before that, he had to deal with the relationship between him and Annie first. And it would be best to make Annie like him. That way, perhaps Georgia would agree to marry him.
"I'll prove my feelings with my actions."
Robert emphasized again that Georgia didn't even know how to persuade him. In fact, she hadn't thought of where to start either.
"Robert, I've always felt that there was something wrong with the paternity test between you and Annie. I've always felt that Annie should be your daughter."
Georgia spoke out what was in her heart.
Robert still felt that Georgia was worried that he maltreated Annie. He had already confirmed several times about the paternity test, and Annie was indeed not her daughter. It was just that Georgia was so insistent that Robert could only comfort her again.
"Since that's the case, I'll just do another paternity test with Annie, okay?"
Georgia could only nod helplessly. She couldn't think of any other way to prove Annie's relationship with Robert different than to do a paternity test.
It took more than 40 minutes for the two to arrive by car, and the car pulled up inside the neighbourhood where Vanessa lived.
The bodyguard helped Robert get out of the car and into a wheelchair. Then, the bodyguard took out a large gift box from the trunk.
Georgia asked in confusion.
"What's inside the box? Are you bringing it inside?"
Robert smiled and nodded.
"Inside this are dolls of various Disney princesses. It's my gift to Annie. Little girls seem to like this sort of thing. I have to please Annie after all, don't I?"
Georgia smiled that Robert had actually brought a gift.
"You're more attentive than I am. Annie does love dolls. She'll definitely be bought by you later on."
Georgia pushed Robert's wheelchair and walked to the block.
It took about five minutes for Georgia to push Robert's wheelchair to the door of the flat.
After ringing the doorbell for a moment, Annie's voice came over at once.
"Mummy, is it you?"
"Annie, it's me. Can you open the door for mummy?"
Annie excitedly opened the door, and she was about to rush over and hug her mummy. But she found a man sitting in a wheelchair in front of her mummy, smiling at her. There was a puzzled look on Annie's face.
Why was this man coming to her house?
Previously, Annie and her mummy had stayed at this man's house for two days, and this man was no longer as mean to her as he had been that time.
However, Annie didn't like this man at all. She had a psychological shadow over him.
"Mummy, is this man coming over to play at our house?"
Annie asked suspiciously as Georgia pushed Robert inside the flat.
Georgia squatted down and then picked up Annie in her arms.
"Yes. Robert came to our house to play. Can Annie talk to Robert?"
However, Annie was silent. She didn't want to play with an elder she didn't like.
Robert then unwrapped the gift box in his hand.
"Annie, this is a gift for you."
The moment the box was unwrapped, Annie instantly saw various dolls inside the box, each of which was exquisitely beautiful looking.
"Is this for me?"
Annie asked Robert, and she couldn't even control the fondness in her heart.
Robert nodded.
"Of course it's for you. Robert treated you badly once before. I beg Annie to forgive me. Can Annie give Robert a chance?"
Annie really liked these dolls, and she felt as if she was about to be bought by this man. However, something inside Annie told her again that how could she be bought so easily?
A fight was going on inside Annie, and Georgia was already laughing beside her.
"Robert gave it to you. Just take it if you like it, Annie. You don't have to think so much. Even if you don't like Robert now, there's no problem accepting the gift."
"Really? Mummy."
Annie asked. She felt that even if she accepted the gift, she would only feel that much better about this uncle. As for liking this uncle, Annie didn't think she could do that at that moment.
"What your mummy said is true. Robert is giving this gift as an apology. As for whether Annie forgive Robert's bad attitude previously, it's your choice."
Annie excitedly kissed Georgia on the cheek, and Georgia then put her down.
Annie walked up to Robert instantly.
"Robert, thank you. I really like these dolls. It's not that I don't like you, I'm just a bit scared of you. I remember you were mean to me that time. Don't worry, you're an elder and I'll respect you."
Annie was a well-behaved and understanding child. Robert smiled at Annie. He really hoped that he and Georgia would have such a beautiful and understanding daughter in the future too.
"Annie, Robert did something wrong before and I was the one who treated you badly in the first place. Now that you are being pleasant to me, Robert feels grateful. In the future, you will see my attitude. Of course Robert hopes you like me, but it doesn't matter if you don't like me for the time being."
Annie had excitedly received the dolls into her hands when Vanessa walked out at this moment.
She had heard their conversation inside the kitchen, and just that, she didn't come out immediately to disturb the three of them.
Seeing that Annie was already unpacking the box and ready to play with the dolls, Vanessa then walked over to Robert and greeted him.
"Hi, Mr. Simpson."
Robert smiled and nodded his head.
"Miss Cooke, I heard that you haven't been working lately. If you still want to work in design, I can let you work in my company. I apologize for letting you in and letting someone dismiss you last time."
Vanessa was a little hesitant.
Ever since she knew that Georgia and Robert had established their relationships, she had understood that Georgia probably wouldn't emigrate with her. With Annie involved, Vanessa couldn't just leave the country alone, and she couldn't possibly take Annie away and leave Georgia alone in D City.
"Mr. Simpson, I'd like to think about it for a while. Is that okay?"
Robert nodded, and Georgia went over to talk to Vanessa.
"Didn't we talk about giving Annie a full body check-up before? Since that you're going to the hospital this afternoon, so Robert and I will take Annie to have the full body check-up. After that, we'll have Ivan arrange the surgery based on this body check-up. And so that we can both feel more at ease if we get Annie's surgery done sooner."
Vanessa nodded.
"Georgia, you're right. It's necessary to let Annie get her surgery done as soon as possible. I hope there's no mistake this time."
The hospital didn't start work until two-thirty in the afternoon. And they stayed inside the flat throughout the morning.
Robert was always by Annie's side, talking to her. Annie had gradually lost her resistance to Robert, and they could communicate in a friendly manner. Especially looking at those beautiful dolls, Annie had some good feelings towards this uncle.
By the afternoon, the few people took the car together to the hospital.
When they just arrived at the car park, before they got off the car, Georgia suddenly noticed Emma's mother, Flora, and the man she saw yesterday, were walking hand in hand inside the car park. The two kissed before Flora then went alone towards the lift of the hospital.
Vanessa had also noticed this incident, and she immediately asked Georgia in confusion.
"Did I see it right just now? Was that person Emma's mother?"
Georgia nodded.
"You're right. I saw these two together yesterday too."
Robert naturally also knew Emma's mother, and he asked Georgia doubtfully.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Georgia spoke out the speculation in her mind. Robert's impression of Emma's mother, Flora, had always been that of a housewife who looked harsh and unkind but always hid behind Owen as if she was afraid of him. But right now, this woman seemed to be having an affair.
Robert suddenly wanted to see how Owen looked when he found out about this. Robert had wanted to teach the Lane family a good lesson, and now it seemed that there was a big problem within the Lane family.
"Georgia, I'll have someone check out what Flora went inside the hospital for. Don't worry. I'll solve the Lane family's matter as soon as possible."
Georgia smiled. Of course, she trusted Robert. She had immense trust in this man now.
After they took the lift to the top floor, the director had already fawned over Georgia and Robert.
Vanessa took Annie and sat next to them.
"Hasn't Alfred come yet?"
Vanessa asked the director.
"Miss Cooke, Mr. Chow just called and said he would be here soon."
Vanessa could then only wait patiently.
After a few minutes, the lounge door opened, and Vanessa saw Alfred walking in with a woman.
At that moment, everyone revealed a look of astonishment. The woman behind Alfred and Vanessa looked exceptionally alike.
