Seeing her about to explode, Patricia quickly said, "Although I lied to you this time, if you keep acting out, I guarantee that, one day, it will come true."
At her words, Fannie was reassured.
From their conversation, Martin guessed the gist and sent a grateful look to Patricia, then opened the packaging of the tiramisu and chocolate.

Don't believe me? Try it..."
With that, he forked a small piece and held it to Fannie's mouth.
"You made this yourself?" Patricia's eyes widened in disbelief.
Fannie never expected the jerk dad to personally make desserts for her, and she was so moved that her eyes brimmed with tears.
Martin said, "Charles told me Fannie loves tiramisu, so I found a pastry chef to teach me. I'm clumsy, so it took me a while to learn, three days, in fact. This is what I made this morning."
"You'reYou are so considerate," Patricia said, then glanced at Fannie and asked, "But, is it edible? Won't it cause a stomachache?"

Patricia was speechless.said: "…??"
Fannie had already forgiven Martin inside, but she couldn't bring herself to admit it.
"It's not tasty, but since you made it yourself, I appreciate the effort, so I'll try a little.""
After saying so, she continued enjoying this dessert.
Hearing those words, Martin was overjoyed and eagerly fed her bite by bite.
The little girl enjoyed it immensely, so.
