Chapter 2173: Chapter 2173

When the little lad saw Skye far away, her face lit up with surprise and joy.

Molly Wellington excitedly spread her arms, and hurriedly emerged from Dylan Wellington’s embrace, rushing toward Skye.

However, before her hand could touch Skye, Dylan pulled her back.

"Daddy—" the little lad protested in a soft, whiny voice.

She saw on the television that Skye was going to marry Uncle Norman, and thought Skye no longer wanted her.

"Daddy’s not stopping you, but be careful, don’t bump into mother... Mother already has a little sister in her belly now. You’re the big sister, take care of Mommy and baby, okay?"

The man lowered his gaze, his always cold, seductive eyes now holding warmth.

If it weren’t for necessity, he wouldn’t have brought Molly.

Taking Molly away would make those people more suspicious.

Before he could marry Skye, before everything was settled so she would never leave his side, he had to be cautious in everything.

But it seemed Skye was losing hope for him.

She didn’t give him any chance, even a chance for redemption seemed extravagant.

Afraid Skye would overthink alone, afraid she might hurt herself on impulse, Dylan could only secretly bring Molly.

"A little sister!?" Molly blinked her almond-shaped eyes, exaggerated.

The next second, her pretty mouth suddenly turned down.

"So Skye doesn’t want Molly because she has a little sister now... Wah... Skye doesn’t want Molly anymore... Ohh..."

The little lad who was smiling sweetly, looking happy, suddenly had tears streaming down her face.

The world of children is much simpler than adults’.

Molly, outwardly sunny and optimistic, is actually sensitive and lacks a sense of security.

Even if Skye was forced, in her view, she felt abandoned by Skye these days.

Especially, when she saw Skye and Norman York together on the television.

The little girl’s already uneasy, motherly love-deprived heart became even more fragile.

Dylan awkwardly tried to soothe his child.

He gently patted Molly’s back, spoke comforting words, but the more he coaxed, the more Molly cried.

Just as the little lad was sobbing, hiccuping, crying pitifully.

A gentle, pale hand suddenly fell on her little head.

"Molly, don’t cry... Mother hasn’t abandoned you, Skye will always be your mother, how could she not want you? You’re always your mother’s daughter, and your mother will NEVER leave you."

After speaking, another gentle hand, carrying a mother’s warmth, covered the little girl’s tear-soaked face.

Skye unexpectedly spoke up.

Unlike her previous indifference toward Dylan, she took the initiative to come closer and soothe Molly with a gentle voice.

The gentle and delicate hand lightly wiped away Molly’s tears and wiped away the snot.

This is something only a mother would do.

Others might disdain the sticky snot, but she seemed numb to it, softly wiping it all clean for Molly.

Realizing her wet snot was all over Skye’s hands.

Molly finally stopped her tears.

With her red, wet almond-shaped eyes, she looked pitifully at Skye who was squatting in front of her.

"Skye... Molly made your hands dirty." The little lad reached into her pocket and pulled out a handkerchief.

"Here, handkerchief, wipe it..."

"Not dirty, Molly’s tears and snot, Mother doesn’t find them dirty." Skye shook her head, looking at her with a smile.

But there are tears in her smile.

"Skye don’t cry..." The little lad hastily used the little hanky she’s holding to wipe away the tears rolling down Skye’s face.

"Mm, Mommy’s not crying, just too happy to see Molly..." Skye pressed her lips, suppressing her inner excitement.

Then, she took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Molly, from now on, don’t call Skye ’Mother,’ call me ’Mother’ or ’Mommy’."

Molly nodded emphatically, "Mm, Molly understands, just like we agreed last time."

But Skye shook her head, "No, it’s not like we agreed last time, it’s a new start this time..."

"Molly, Mother wants to tell you something. Mother is not just your Skye Mother, she’s also your Mommy."

After saying this, Skye looked toward the man half-crouching beside, protecting Molly.

His profound gaze fell upon her face.

Skye turned away, looking back at the seemingly understanding Molly.

This time, she slowly and seriously said: "What Mother means is... actually, I am your biological Mommy, your true Mother..."
