Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1409

"Don't cry, Candy, okay? Daddy knows he was wrong. I'm finally done with work, and from now on, I'm going to stay right here by your side. I'll protect you and Mommy, and I will never leave again. If you keep crying, your eyes are going to get even redder than Snowy's! Snowy's going to look at you and laugh!"

Hearing that Snowy might laugh at her, Candy instinctively pulled her little face out of Jerome's chest and looked over at the bunny doll in the corner.

Meeting the bunny's red eyes, Candy blinked her own tear-filled, red eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Jerome immediately carried Candy over. He laid the plush bunny down flat on the suitcase.

"Look, Snowy is asleep now. Snowy can't see our little Candy anymore."

Candy fluttered her damp eyelashes, looking at Jerome bashfully.

"How did you know Snowy's name, Daddy?"

Seeing his daughter finally stop crying, Jerome breathed a massive sigh of relief.

His eyes crinkled with a smile. "Of course I know. I gave Snowy to you! Even though Daddy wasn't right next to you, Daddy still loves you and cares about you. I always asked Mommy everything about you. If you don't believe me, just ask Mommy!"

Hearing that her daddy actually cared about her, Candy's eyes lit up. She whipped her head around to look at Kimberley.

Kimberley immediately nodded. "See? Mommy didn't lie to you, did she?"

Kimberley used to tell Candy things like that all the time—that her daddy loved her very much, and he was just extremely busy with work.

Now, she was finally making all those little white lies a reality.

But the little girl wasn't going to be won over that easily. She looked back at Jerome.

"Didn't you have a phone, Daddy? Why didn't you ever FaceTime me?"

Jerome froze.
