Chapter 114 She Speaks
He had never spoken to him in such a gentle and patient tone...
If his father could be so kind and patient with him, how could he think of running away from home every day?
However, Owen glanced at the beautiful little girl, and he was instantly at a loss.
If only he were one-tenth as good-looking as Angela, his father would surely like him too.
Who let him be so ugly?
Angela let go of the puzzle piece in her hand and stood up. She looked at Ivan and took a hesitant step forward.
But just as she took a step out, she hesitated and took it back.
She lowered her eyes and cautiously glanced at Todd.
To others, this glance meant nothing.
But Todd saw through it perfectly.
Because he had told his sister that this man wasn't worth their liking, she had hesitated
Todd's emotions became incredibly complex.
He stood up, took Angela's hand, and said in a low voice,"Angela, you can go wherever you want, I'll accompany you."
The little girl pursed her lips, and a smile formed at the corners of her mouth.
She held Todd's hand and eagerly headed in Ivan's direction.
"Angela is such a good girl."
Ivan inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, he had really been afraid that the little girl wouldn't come. If that were the case, the words he had said to Haley earlier in the day would have been absurd.
Luckily, this little brat gave him some attention.
He raised his hand and ruffled the little girl's fluffy hair, his voice becoming even gentler."Angela, when you were in my office that day, did you say something?"
Angela blinked her long and feathery eyelashes, her clear eyes filled with confusion.
Haley held her hand and whispered,"Angela, tell mommy that you can speak, okay?"
The little girl remained as vacant as before, with no change from the past.
Todd furrowed his brows slightly.
Could it be that his sister had spoken when she was with Ivan?
Why does this man have such a big influence on his sister?
Todd tightly pursed his lips and spoke, Angela, if you can speak, then say one word, don't let mommy worry."
If this man could help his sister communicate with the outside world, he could reluctantly accept him into their lives...
Ivan crouched down, his two ridiculously long legs folding as he half-knelt on the ground.
His dark and deep eyes stared directly at Angela, as if they were a deep well, filled with emotions that outsiders couldn't comprehend.
His voice was deep and gentle, emphasizing each word,"Angela, I know you like me very much. I am Mr. Winston, but you have never called me that before."
Angela's unfocused eyes gradually regained focus.
She stared at Ivan's face, her pink lips parting as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Everyone in the room held their breath, fully focused.
Ivan continued,“Angela, please speak louder so Mr. Winston can hear you.'"
He had lived for over twenty years and had never had so much patience for anyone or anything before. This was the first time in his life.
His eyes were intense as he encouraged the little girl in front of him.
Like under some kind of spell, Angela slowly opened her voice box that had never produced much sound before.
Her delicate lips slightly parted as she whispered,"Daddy."
