Chapter 769 I Will Take Care of That
Gemma asked Liam in a childish voice, "Can you really do that? Like my daddy does with my mommy, gently and carefully. He always has a smile on his face. He's never cruel to mommy, or to me. He never glares at us, or makes a stern face."
"He's always smiling and warm like when you are cuddling the sleeping teddy bear."
Liam saw the wishful look in Gemma's big dark eyes and instantly, his heart got softened.
He suddenly felt ashamed of himself. It looked like he was really too terrible.
How unacceptable it was to have a small kid remind him of his awful behavior.
"My sweet little princess, how could I be bad to you, or be hard on you all the time." Liam held Gemma more tightly, her tiny body felt soft and warm in his arms.
Gemma still pouted her lips and asked, "What about mommy? Will you be bad to her or be hard on her?"
Liam looked back at Anna, his dark eyes filled with a gentleness rarely seen and his voice turned soft and peaceful.
"Of course, I won't."
"If ever she could give me a chance to change, I would never be bad to her or be hard on her anymore."
"I will treat her tenderly, love her as the most precious thing in my life and never let her be sad again."
Abruptly, Anna's heart twitched. Looking at Liam, her eyes welled up with a surge of moisture. She was touched.
Some people could give you many, many affections, but if they were not what you wanted, then they could never touch your heart once.
But for some people, he may touch you only once, and that would be engraved in your heart forever.
"Do you mean what you said?" Gemma asked again in a childish voice. She looked at Liam with a hint of doubt in her big eyes.
"Of course! I always mean what I say."
Anna's heart fluttered slightly again. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
She couldn't look into Liam's eyes anymore. She hurriedly lowered her head and held back the warm surge of affection in the corners of her eyes.
Liam's cheek gently pressed against Gemma's, and he raised his arm to gently wrap around Anna's shoulders.
This time, she didn't push him away, but let him put his arm around her quietly.
Liam's lips curved up nicely. He tightened his arms around Anna and Gemma.
Until this moment, he finally felt the hollow in his heart for so many years was filled.
It was as fulfilling as having the world at your fingertips.
As long as he had his daughter and his woman by his side, he was content. There was nothing more important in this world than them.
Gemma smiled and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up. But she raised her little head and claimed," Even though you behaved good today and you promised me what I wanted, my daddy is still my favorite so far!"
Liam's eyebrows furrowed. A hint of displeasure flashed across the bottom of his eyes.
"See! You're being bad again!"
Liam hurriedly explained, "No, no. How dare I be bad t o you. I would never be hard on you anymore."
"Hmph! So far you are not as good as my daddy, but I still give you a commendation! Don't be proud and keep up the good work. I hope you could do better."
Gemma spoke the words her teacher had praised her and used them on Liam.
The corners of Liam’s lips twitched. But he was worried that Gemma would pick on his expression again, so he hurriedly worked out a smile and humbly accept Gemma's praise.
"OK, OK! I will definitely try harder and strive for better performance."
Gemma gave a strong nod. She looked quite satisfied.
"That's the spirit."
Anna almost burst out laughing. She held in her laugh, and she said, "You're sleepy now and you're just holding on to it. Dry your hair and get into bed soon! You didn't even take a nap and you came swimming directly. Now your eyelids are fighting."
Gemma made a yawn. She was still trying to hold her spirits up. She said to Liam.
"If you want to be good friends with me, you must behave yourself."
Seeing the wishful look in Gemma's eyes, Liam suddenly felt more ashamed of himself.
This little girl still wanted flawless love from her father. How could he bear to let his own daughter down!
"Definitely! I will be the daddy that you can be proud o f, the best daddy in the world!"
Liam carried Gemma in his arms and swung her gently to put her to sleep.
His movements were awkward, but they were his abundant love for his daughter.
Gemma lied quietly on Liam's broad shoulders. She drifted off to sleep.
Liam looked down at the soft little thing lying on his shoulder, and his lips curved up slightly, showing a touch of tenderness like water.
Looking at Liam in front of her, Anna just felt sour in her heart again.
She hurriedly worked out a smile and said, "Take her t o her room to sleep."
"I want to hold her a little longer." Liam did not want t o let go of Gemma.
It was the first time he had put Gemma to sleep himself, and it felt so good, better than completing any big cases he handled in the company, so fulfilling.
Anna compressed her lips and sat down in a chair. She began to carefully wipe her long, wet hair.
Seeing that Anna was ignoring Gemma, Liam reminded her in a low voice, "Shouldn't you go and get a towel and put it on Gemma?"
Then Anna came to her senses, "Oh-oh, okay! "
She rushed to get a dry towel and wrapped it around Gemma's body.
Liam gave Anna a quick glance and said, "It's hard to imagine how you've been taking care of Gemma all these years."
Anna spat out her tongue, "Mostly, Ethan would take care of these things."
It was Ethan again!
And she called his name so intimately!
Immediately, Liam was upset again. With a cold arrogance in his eyes and an extremely stern look, he said, "From now on, either I or you will do these things."
He didn't want Ethan to have another chance to win Anna and Gemma's hearts!
He must find a way to get his position back.
Anna was instantly enraged. "Just now you promised Gemma that you wouldn't be hard on me. Now, what are you doing? This is my daughter. And I'll do it if I want to and not if I don't! I gave you the opportunity to get close to my daughter, but you still have so many problems!"
Anna threw a glance at Liam through the sides of her eyes.
With Gemma, she now could handle Liam.
If he had just gotten furious with her, she would have taken her daughter and left immediately.
Liam was in such an inferior position now, and he regretted his awful attitude. He had promised Gemma that he would never be bad to Anna again.
"Okay. I'll take care of these things from now on."
Gemma stirred uncomfortably in his arms, and he hurriedly swung her gently, and Gemma fell to sleep peacefully again.
Watching his clumsy movements, Annie found it funny. She wanted to laugh, but she held it back.
"If you want to get along well with a little girl, you have to spend much more time and patience. Can you really do that?"
In Anna's memory, Liam was a man with the least patience or time.
Now Gemma refused to accept him, so he took care of Gemma patiently, but when Gemma accepted him, he might be busy somewhere else.
"I said I can do it, and I will do it!"
Liam's lips were lightly curled up and his dark eyes were full of tenderness.
Carrying Gemma in his arms, Liam walked out of the pool.
Anna also hurried to keep up with him.
