Chapter 1205: Chapter 1184: Should He Cry or Laugh? Chapter 1205: Chapter 1184: Should He Cry or Laugh? “Pfft!”

Maya couldn’t help but laugh out loud; the driver was really talented, completely silencing Graham Stones, the love expert, leaving him speechless and hitting the nail on the head with every word, clear and to the point, truly a gifted person.

“Maya, you laughed, so does that mean you forgive me?”

Seeing the woman laugh, a beautiful flower instantly bloomed on Graham’s face, “So…”

“Master, here’s my stop!”

Maya didn’t let him finish his sentence, she opened the door, got out of the car, and decisively ignored him.

Graham: “…”

Was she really not giving him any chance at all?

“Maya…”

“What ‘Maya’? Aren’t you going to chase her?”

The driver glanced back at the man still lingering in the back seat, shook his head with a sigh, “When a woman laughs and then runs, it means she’s afraid she might actually forgive you if she stays. Looks like she really likes you, and you’re such a scoundrel that even though she likes you, she dares not entrust her heart to you. Sir, it seems you really are a scoundrel!”

Graham: “…”

He was a scoundrel, and even a random passerby could see it?

It seemed he was indeed scum to a whole new level; it looked like he really had to ‘cut himself off’ to show his determination!

“Thank you, Master, I’m going to sweet-talk my wife now!”

With that, he jumped out of the car and chased after the woman. The taxi driver watched the man running without any grace, his lips curved into a deeper smile. Knowing to thank him meant there was still hope. A match of talents, they really did seem like a perfect couple, a truly beautiful duo!

Maya had just flagged down a car and was getting in when the man stuck himself to her in a matter of seconds: “Wife, don’t think about getting rid of me. I’m stuck to you for life, wherever you go, I go!”

Maya hadn’t expected this man to be so stubbornly persistent; since he wanted to stick around, she’d let him. She was curious to see just how thick his skin was and how long his patience could last. If he wanted to cling, then let him cling!

Paying the fare, getting out of the car, heading home, Maya didn’t say a word; she just kept a cold face and walked ahead on her own. They say ignoring is the cruelest punishment, but for Graham right now, as long as it wasn’t rejection, he could bear any kind of punishment, moreover, he also had a daughter!

Having heard that conversation, since the child wasn’t that old man’s, she must naturally be his. Whether the woman admitted it or not, he had already decided that the child was his; he even felt annoyed at his own slow response. Who else could father such a beautiful daughter?

No wonder, the first time he saw the little girl, his heart melted, and when he saw her calling someone else ‘Daddy,’ it just didn’t sit right, totally an eyesore!

“Mommy, you’re finally back, baby missed you so much!”

“It’s true what they say about speaking of the devil, just as I was thinking about my little darling, here she appeared,” “Eh, why has this uncle come back with you?”

When Tanya saw Graham Stones, she was quite surprised, her tiny eyebrows slowly furrowing as she looked at him skeptically, then glancing at her mom. Seeing that Maya hadn’t answered, Tanya took a couple of steps towards Graham, looked up at him curiously, always finding this uncle a bit strange. As for where he seemed familiar, she couldn’t quite remember, but he felt like someone she had met before.

The first time she saw him she had felt the same way. After a while, she finally asked him, “Uncle, do you like my mommy, and you want to pursue her? Is that why you followed her home?”

Her twinkling, large eyes stared at him like dazzling pearls, piercing directly into a person’s heart, making Graham’s heart suddenly melt. His precious daughter! Graham felt his throat trembling, hardly able to utter a word.

“Uncle, what does your silence mean? Is that a tacit agreement?”

Seeing that Graham hadn’t spoken, Tanya blinked her eyes repeatedly, looking even more suspicious, “Or are you saying that you’re not here to pursue my mom, but to pursue me?”

Graham Stones: “…”

Indeed, she’s just like him. The level of cheekiness is just as exceptional. How old is she again? She’s going to break hearts when she’s grown! He truly felt the need to secretly worry for his future son-in-law.

“But Uncle, if you’re thinking of pursuing me, you definitely don’t have a chance!” Before Graham could recover from his shock, Tanya’s words hit him again, “Because when I grow up, I’m definitely going for young, fresh guys. I’m not interested in older men!”

Why should marriages where the husband is much older be glorified, relationships with younger men be subjected to strange looks, men regarded as charming if unfaithful, but women are considered frivolous? It’s unfair! Growing up in a single-parent family, Tanya, having watched her mom struggle alone to raise her, knew the hardship of women, and thus her disdain for societal prejudices only grew!

Graham Stones: “…”

At his daughter’s declaration, he was at a loss for words, but as a father, he naturally supported her views—whatever his daughter thought was right!

“My girl, that’s the spirit!”

“Of course, who do you think my no-good daddy is? He abandoned my mom, didn’t even want his own daughter, making my mom suffer all these years. I will definitely seek justice for my mom, none of these men are any good!”

Graham Stones: “…”

Well, it looks like he might have to sleep by the door. Maya ignoring him was tolerable, but he’d even considered bribing his daughter to advocate for him. However, seeing her current stance, that seemed even harder than pleasing a woman!

“Well, darling, you’re right about men not being much good, and your dad’s definitely inhuman. But darling, remember, without your dad, your mom, despite being so capable, wouldn’t have been able to have you, after all…”

“Whether or not my dad’s a good person is not for you to say, Uncle. Remember your place, you are just a suitor of my mom’s at the moment, and she hasn’t even accepted you yet. You’re really getting ahead of yourself!”

Graham Stones had intended to educate his little darling on the significance of ‘daddy’, but before he could get a word out, Tanya interrupted him. Her gentle face contradicted the sharp words that came from her little mouth, rendering him speechless.

“Let me tell you, my dad is my dad. Only my mom and I have the right to criticize him, and you, an outsider, have no right to speak, even if one day my mom agrees to your pursuit and decides to marry you!”

Graham Stones: “…”

Should he cry or laugh now?
