When Leo called Lizzie’s name right, Alan suddenly carried a surprised expression. He held Leo’s arms tightly with husky voice and excited emotion.
“Mr. Cohen, do you know about my daughter?”
Leo didn’t respond him, but closely stared at that photo.
Alan and Justin didn’t interrupt him. They both looked at him worriedly.
After staring at the photo for a long time, Leo suddenly asked, “What is your daughter’s name?”
“胡夏!” Alan spoke out his daughter’s name without a second thought.
Leo thought for a while and asked, “Then does she know her name is Lizzie?”
Alan shook his head and replied, “I don’t know. She was only three years old when she got lost.”
“Then is she familiar with her nickname?”
“I used to call her 小夏 when she was little. She should know this nickname.”
“Then I guess she is the one you are looking for.”
Leo let off a slight sigh. He rested his gaze on the little girl in the photo all the way.
There were not exactly same flowers in the world. Although the girl in the photo was little, judging from her features, she was the same as Lizzie.
Alan’s pupil shrank worriedly. His throat slight moved as he asked, “Who is she?”
“She is the adopted daughter of the butler in the Ford family.
Leo remarked in a dark voice, “I have been to their house before and had an impression of what she used to look like.”
Leo then opened his phone to find Lizzie’s photo and handed it to Alan.
Alan got astonished when looking at it. Suddenly, the rims of his eyes went red as he murmured, “Yes, yes…she looks just the same as my daughter!”
After returning the phone to Leo, Alan asked, “What’s her name now?”
“Lizzie.”
Alan rolled his throat and asked in excitement, “Can I…can I see her one more time?”
“Of course, you can see her, but I don’t think it’s the right time to tell her the truth.”
Leo’s words completely put off Alan’s reignited hope.
Alan’s expression turned glazed and looked at Leo without moving around.
However, Leo was firm about his answer. He even got serious and remarked, “She grew up with Gary without knowing what her real father was. Now she already gets used to her life. Your intrusion to her wonderful life after so many difficulties will only cause damage on her, making her have a grudge against you.”
Alan knew Leo’s words were reasonable. However, his look was still full of despair.
It was too cruel for a father to know who his lost daughter was but couldn’t reunite with her.
“You have to take it slow. Do not rush.”
Leo’s look turned gentle as he suggested, “I don’t mean I will stop you from reuniting. I just want you to be familiar with each other first. In this way, her emotion won’t fluctuate too much when she finds out the truth.
”
Alan swept his tears and nodded at Leo, saying, “Mr. Cohen, I don’t know how to express my gratefulness. I will do everything for you to help you!”
Leo could know Alan was promising in sincere. He had helped him to find his lost daughter for years and Alan would always remember that in the rest of his life.
However, Leo shook his head and remarked, “I won’t treat you unfairly if you do things for me.”
Meanwhile, Leo turned to look at Justin and said, “You’re the same.”
“Mr. Cohen…”
Justin was touched. There was nothing more delighted than choosing the right boss.
Luckily, Alan finally found his beloved daughter. Afterwards, he paid attention to their bet with Lane.
“Mr. Cohen, are you planning to live in Hopkins?”
Alan’s look went sharp and his voice also went cold, “I will help you to meet the members of the original board in J Group tomorrow.”
Leo gave a slight smile and replied, “There is no need to. We will go back to Emerdale.”
“Ah?”
Leo’s words really surprised Alan and Justin. They looked at him confusedly and asked, “What about our bet with Lane if we don’t live in Hopkins?”
Slash…
When Leo opened the last door in the bathroom, he met a pair of charming eyes.
Both of them got startled when looking at each other.
There was a sense of slightly weird smell in the air.
A hot woman wearing top was sitting on the toilet. There was a nevus around her lower lip, making she look mature and attractive.
The woman was obviously astonished that someone would suddenly break in. She didn’t even notice the vest on her shoulder dropped down.
In the next second, both of their expressions changed.
Leo hurriedly stepped backwards and turned around his face with red cheeks, saying, “I am sorry. I didn’t mean it!”
No matter who was this woman, it was wrong for his sudden intrusion when she was using the toilet.
“I know you didn’t mean it.”
However, the woman didn’t seem to mind it at all. She rested her eager eyes on Leo and stared at him tightly as if she was ruttish when laughing out loudly.
“Who are you? Where are my wife and daughter?”
Leo felt uncomfortable by being stared at. The worse thing was that he suddenly found there were only them at home.
“Well, Emelia said she wanted to watch a film. Therefore, I bought two tickets and let my niece go with her.”
The woman was still sitting on the toilet and replied randomly.
Leo could tell the woman was not lying. His tense nerve finally loosened up.
Suddenly, he felt that he seemed to ignore something. After recalling what the woman just said, Leo immediately opened his eyes widely.
“Who is your niece?”
Leo already had an answer in his mind, but he still decided to ask her with his heart pounding quickly.
The woman got startled and the laughed out, saying, “You’re so funny. There is only one adult woman in your home expect me. What do you think that woman is?”
Hearing her words, Leo immediately made sure of his guess. His expression was full of shock as he remarked, “You’re Lydia’s aunt!”lightnoveldaily.com
