"Last time, you deliberately lured me out but ended up letting Riley fool me. Do you remember what you said then?"
Georgia remembered that incident at once, and she looked a little embarrassed.
"What do you want to do about it?"
Georgia wanted to ask what Robert was planning to do.
Annie was their daughter. Even if Robert didn't get his memory back in the end and was going to give her up, however, Annie was still his daughter. The blood relationship could not be erased.
"At least you have to give me some hairs of Annie so I can get a paternity test. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't have a paternity test to prove that Annie is my daughter. My blood can't do a paternity test, and you can give me a few of Annie's hairs."
"She was supposed to be your daughter."
Georgia laughed. She wasn't mad at Robert for that comment.
"She's in school now, as you know. I'll give you a few strands of Annie's hair after school later. Are you going to be busy getting back? If you're not busy, let's wait for Annie after school. She hasn't seen you for a long time either. Actually, she misses you. You loved her so much a year ago, but at that time, she had been a little awkward. After you disappeared this year, in fact, Annie regrets in her heart and has always wanted to call you daddy."
After the two talked about it, they both felt embarrassed and kept silent without knowing what to say. Georgia just called Ivan in, and then began to order food.
"Are you two done talking?" Ivan asked.
Georgia laughed and nodded, while Robert didn't say anything.
They had talked, but it wasn't over yet.
The three of them had lunch. The first-year students were finished after two classes in the afternoon, and Georgia took Annie to school at noon. After lunch, it was almost time for the elementary students to leave school, so Georgia decided to pick up Annie after school.
Ivan didn't leave either. He followed Georgia over. Robert needed Annie's hair, so he also followed Georgia.
The three of them went straight to the classroom door to pick up Annie after school. They looked so noble that the doorman didn't even stop them. The moment the bell rang, Annie rushed out. She hugged Georgia's thigh and smiled brightly.
"Mommy, I met so many kids today."
After Annie finished this sentence excitedly, she suddenly noticed two men standing behind her mother. She was seeing Ivan a lot. As for the other man, Annie's expression became a bit complicated. She knew from the occasional conversation between Elsie and her mommy that this man, that was, her dad, had returned safely. But she couldn't see him before in G City.
After they came back, Mommy didn't bring her to see him either. Annie just stared at Robert, and she didn't know what to say. She wanted to call him uncle, but Annie understood that he was supposed to be her father. She didn't know how to call him.
For the past year, she had actually missed Robert and regretted that she hadn't called him Dad. But when he did reappear, Annie didn't know how she was going to call him again.
Robert, of course, noticed Annie's expressions. He bent down and smiled at Annie.
"Long time no see, Annie."
"Hello, Uncle."
Annie finally uttered the words politely. She still couldn't call him Dad.
But just as she finished the sentence, Annie suddenly noticed that a boy inside the classroom suddenly rushed over and hugged Robert.
"Daddy, why did you come to pick me up today? I'm so happy."
The little boy hugged Robert and excitedly called him Daddy. Annie was already stunned and looked at her mommy with uncertainty. Why was this boy calling Robert Daddy?
Shouldn't he be her dad?
Although she did not call him, he should be her father. Why was the other boy now calling him Dad too?
Annie had a lot on her mind right now, but she didn't say anything. Then the boy excitedly shouted to a woman walking in the distance.
"Mom, Dad came to pick me up today. I'm so happy. Mom and Dad came together to pick me up from school today."
Georgia looked at the voice and saw Sierra approaching. In this instant, many thoughts went through Georgia's mind.
In the end, she was looking at Ivan angrily. She asked Ivan to arrange a school for Annie. Georgia wasn't surprised that Annie and Wesley went to the same school. After all, the school was the best and most outstanding place where they had ever studied. But to put them in the same class, Georgia couldn't believe that Ivan didn't know about it.
The anger in her eyes was so obvious that Ivan hurriedly shook his head innocently.
"I really didn't know about this. I really didn't know that he was also in this class. But it's okay to be in the same class ..."
Ivan said this weakly, while Georgia could not wait to punch Ivan in the face right now.
How could it be okay? She could see that Annie was a little distressed. Although Annie had never openly acknowledged that Robert was his dad, Annie had always believed that he was her dad. But now her dad belonged to someone else, and Annie would definitely be sad.
Georgia didn't know how to solve the situation in front of her, and Robert had already picked Wesley up in his arms. Immediately, Sierra also came over.
They just looked at each other. Annie looked at the family of three in front of her and suddenly burst into tears.
After crying, Annie suddenly rushed in the other direction, and Georgia was terrified. She ignored Sierra and Robert, who were still standing in front of her, and rushed straight after Annie.
Ivan stood still but realized that he had caused trouble today.
"Robert, when did you get back?"
Sierra's heart stuttered at the sight of Georgia and her daughter standing with Robert.
Although there were many questions in her mind, at the moment, she could only ask so gently. What was going on now?
Sierra was anxious when Robert announced a month ago that he had to leave the country for something and hadn't contacted her in the meantime. She asked many people about where Robert was going and what he was going to do, but she couldn't find out. And Robert announced on the internet that their wedding was postponed for six months.
It had been a very anxious month for her. Now she should be happy to see Robert back, but it seemed that Robert and Georgia were getting close again, which made Sierra worried again.
She wanted to find out what had happened to Robert.
Could he and Georgia get back together?
"Let's go back."
Robert didn't answer right away. He picked Wesley up and intended to go back to the villa with Sierra to rest first.
Ivan, who was beside him, was too embarrassed to know what to do, and then Robert spoke up to his brother.
"Just go and see Georgia and her daughter. By the way, Georgia promised me something. You remember to ask her to give me the stuff."
Ivan was puzzled at first, then nodded.
He followed Robert and Sierra, and then they walked out of the school together.
However, when they walked to the entrance of the school, they saw Georgia and Annie were still outside the school gate.
Georgia was squatting on the ground, while Annie was hugging Georgia and crying.
"Mommy ... why did he become someone else's daddy?"
Annie asked as she cried.
She didn't understand. Shouldn't he be her daddy? Why would a little boy in her class become her father's son? Annie felt as if her daddy had been taken away from her.
Georgia didn't even know how to explain to her. Children were always very sensitive.
"Did Daddy have another child in the past year, a new wife, a new family, so he didn't want us anymore ..."
Annie cried and asked again. With her simple little brain, she now had only one idea of what was at hand.
"Daddy doesn't want me and Mommy now. He has a new family of his own, he married a new Mommy and has a baby too. I've been abandoned by Daddy ..."
Georgia was so torn in her heart for a long time before she explained to Annie.
"Annie, he's your dad. No matter how many children he has in the future, he will always be your daddy. No one can take him away from you ..."
"But he didn't even hug me. He hugged that little boy. Daddy used to hug me first. He looked at me as if I were a stranger. Mommy, don't lie to me. Daddy must not want me anymore ..."
Annie cried more and more sadly, and Robert, who just walked out, heard Annie's words. His heart ached and he took the initiative to walk next to Annie and squat down.
"Who said I don't want you anymore? Annie, I've been sick this past year and wandering out of town. It's not that I don't want you ..."
Robert's voice suddenly rang in her ears, and Annie looked up at him with tears streaming down her face. Robert was standing in front of her, and he looked at her with an apologetic look in his eyes.
Annie asked while sniffling and crying.
"Daddy, did you really not abandon me? Are you still my daddy?"
Robert nodded affirmatively. Even though the paternity test results had not yet come out, he was now willing to believe that Annie was his daughter. There was no need for Georgia to lie to him about this matter.
"Then can you hold me?"
Annie asked Robert expectantly, and Robert just smiled and stretched out his hands.
At this moment, Annie was overjoyed. She turned around and rushed to Robert's arms, then hugged her dad tightly.
For a whole year, she thought about this scene countless times in her dreams. If her dad reappeared, she would have to hug him tightly and tell her that she missed him this year.
"Actually, I wanted to call you Dad a year ago, but at that time, I felt awkward. I miss you so much. Daddy, will you always be with me from now on?"
Annie asked apprehensively as she sobbed.
"Of course, you are my daughter. I will always be by your side."
Georgia was a little touched. She didn't expect Robert to be so nice to Annie now. If only Robert could regain his memory, Georgia thought to herself, while Annie had been chattering in Robert's ear. She talked about how much she'd missed him this year, what she'd done this year, and about what had happened in the past between the two of them, and Robert had been listening patiently.
Seeing them so close, Sierra felt her eyes sting, and Wesley was frozen for a long time. He turned to Sierra and asked in confusion.
"Mom, why is that girl and I have the same father? Is she daddy's daughter?"
"Probably."
That was all Sierra could answer to Wesley. She was certainly aware of Annie and Robert's relationship. She just didn't expect that Robert would treat Georgia and Annie so well now, which gave her a sense of crisis in her heart.
Although she was confident that it was unlikely that Robert would regain his memory immediately, she was afraid of the eventuality. Robert had already postponed the wedding, and if he regained his memory in the middle of the six months, then her plan would fail and all her hard work would be lost. She had to find a way not to let Georgia and Robert's relationship grow closer and closer.
Wesley remembered that Aunt Mitchell had told him that the woman standing not far ahead of him would steal his father, and at that time he did not know that the woman had a daughter. Wesley suddenly looked at Georgia with resentment. For some reason, he always felt that his dad would abandon him for this little girl and this woman.
At that moment, no one taught him anything, and Wesley lunged forward and pushed Georgia down hard. The adults around didn't notice, and Georgia didn't expect it. She was pushed to the ground, and there were just sharp stones on the ground. Georgia's hand was bruised, and a sharp pain came to her.
"You bad woman! Don't you dare take my daddy away from me!"
Wesley yelled at Georgia. His eyes were tinged with hate, and Georgia inexplicably felt her heart ache. Before she knew what to say, Sierra reacted immediately, rushed over and grabbed Wesley's hand, then apologized cautiously.
"Miss Lane, I'm sorry. I didn't teach Wesley well. He didn't mean it. Please forgive him."
Wesley, however, struggled in his mother's arms.
"Mom, I didn't say anything wrong. She's going to take my daddy away from me. I don't want Daddy to leave me."
With those words, Wesley burst into tears. Annie, who had been talking to her dad, also noticed Wesley's action. She froze and looked at the little boy.
She only went to school today and had only met this little boy once. At that time, she still had a good impression of this little boy, but at this moment, knowing that they had the same father, Annie had mixed feelings.
Seeing that her mother was pushed to the floor, Annie was also a little angry. Robert took Annie's hand and was about to walk over to her.
At that very moment, there was a frantic shouting in their ears.
Georgia just turned around and saw a man in a mask with a knife rushing toward her. And his target was not her, but Wesley, who was standing in Sierra's arms. Georgia froze for a moment.
Immediately, she was pushed straight to the ground by this crazy man. The next second, she watched as the man rushed toward Wesley with a knife.
