Lukas rushed forward and held the little girl who was picking up the sunflower hat on the ground not far away.
"It's OK! I've got you!" Lukas patted the little girl on the back gently.
However, the little girl in Lukas's arms froze, pushed him away and snapped, "Who are you? Let go of me!"
"I'm Lukas!" Lukas looked at the little girl in his arms in puzzlement. She looked exactly like Erika, but how come she seemed to have suddenly become a different person?
Lukas touched her forehead doubtfully. "You've got no fever. Did someone scare you? Here, have some ice cream and calm down."
The little girl, who was struggling a while ago, saw the ice cream in front of her and took it regardless. She had never had ice cream like this yummy one in the Grant Residence. As soon as she took a bite, she grinned with delight. "It's so delicious!"
"Take your time. When you finish it, I'll buy lollipops for you." Lukas stroked her head lovingly.
Hardly had Lukas finished his words than Bonnie said slowly behind them, "Too much sugar will rot your teeth."
Lukas flinched upon hearing Bonnie's voice and said in a whisper, "Aren't you sleeping, mommy? Why are you here?"
"I followed you two here. Didn't you promise me you wouldn't make money again? Why do you go back on your word?" Bonnie raised her eyebrows in anger.
"Because I wanted to take mommy to eat crawfish, right, Erika?" Lukas nudged the little girl next to him.
Crawfish?
Joanna Grant thought of the advertisement she had watched on TV, drooling. "Crawfish must be delicious!"
Meanwhile, Bonnie got amused by how Joanna looked. She wasn't angry anymore, picked Joanna up and kissed her on the cheek. "Alright, let's go have crawfish. My treat!"
In a black Cayenne not far away, Erika watched Lukas holding another little girl and let her eat her ice cream.
That was Erika's favorite: strawberry ice cream!
How could Lukas let someone else have it?
Furious, Erika tried to pushed the car door open and went over to argue with him, but the door was locked and she couldn't open it.
"Let go of me, you bad guys! If my mommy knows about this, she'll make you suffer!" Erika's braids were shaking as she snapped with her hands on her hips. However, she didn't look intimidating at all, but cute.
But the next moment, Erika got frightened and trembled with fear, because the atmosphere in the car turned grim all of a sudden.
Sebastian, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help but get fretful as he heard the world "mommy".
"Shut up and sit up straight," he ordered.
Erika held up her head. "Why should I listen to you?"
"little lady Joanna, that's your dad. You have to listen to him, don't you?" The assistant in the driver's seat chimed in at once.
Her… dad?
Erika shifted her gaze to Sebastian instantly, sizing him up again and again. At last, she even reached out and pinched his finger.
It was warm, so she couldn't be dreaming.
"Dad? Are you really my dad?" Her eyes sparkling, Erika stared at Sebastian expectantly.
