My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)

Chapter 1247 Family Of Three

Renae's teacher had taught her to recognize some simple words, and it just so happened that she could read that phrase.

Father-daughter relationship... What does this mean?

Even though she was young, she was not naïve at all.

But there was one thing she didn't understand—isn't my father that terrifying man, Yosef? Why is it written in this document that this incredibly handsome mister and I are father and daughter?

She looked at Liam with confusion. After a while, she turned her gaze to Yuri.

Meanwhile, Yuri watched Liam's series of incredibly swift actions blankly.

I was still wondering how to tell her that her father was a different man, but he just shoved a stack of documents at her!

She was a bit concerned about Renae's ability to cope. She's still so young. Can she accept this reality?

She crouched in front of Renae worriedly, reaching out and taking the child's small hands in hers. "Renae... Yosef wasn't your biological father. That was why he treated you poorly and didn't love you in the least."

"Then, will my new father love me?" Renae harbored great uncertainty within her.

What if my new daddy doesn't like or love me? I no longer want to live a life where I'm constantly insulted by my father.

Liam could not hold himself back anymore. He reached out with both hands and gathered the woman and child beside him into a tight embrace.

"Of course, I will. I'll definitely love you."

His voice was hoarse, carrying a restrained suppression. His surging emotions desperately sought an outlet, yearning to be released in full force.

Nonetheless, he kept a leash on them.

He didn't want to frighten his daughter and woman.

After a long while, he finally dropped his hold on Yuri and Renae.

"I'll settle all the matters related to our daughter's household registry."

Yuri was taken aback for a moment. "Household registry?"

Only then did it dawn on her that her and Renae's household registration and the like were still under the Guzman family.

This matter... is probably not going to be easy, huh?

"But-"

Just as she was about to speak, Liam interrupted her. "No buts. Leave this matter to me. I'll settle it."

He took Renae's petite hand. "Renae is a beautiful name. But... it'll bear my family name in the future, Renae Cartier."

He lowered his head and looked down. "Do you like this name?"

The little hand in his palm was soft and smooth. The sense of a shared bloodline softened his heart time and again.

This is my daughter, and she's already five years old!

Renae's big eyes widened in bemusement. "Is Mommy going to marry you? And are we going to become a family of three? If not, I want to take Mommy's family name."

Liam shifted his indecipherable eyes to Yuri. "I have to propose, and only after your Mommy has agreed will she marry me."

"Propose?"

Her daughter's innocent babble had Yuri's face flush bright red with embarrassment.

He must be coaxing her, right? How could a man like him, who's at the top of the world, possibly propose to me? I... can't possibly expect a man to propose to me in this lifetime. I'm now... wholly focused on my career. A career would never betray or insult me.

She quietly mused to herself.

Before they knew it, the family of three had already reached the association's gates.

Liam scooped Renae up. "Let's go. I'll take you for something delicious."

"That previous man had never carried me," Renae confessed, nestling in her father's embrace. She found his arms to be warm and broad.

It gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

Is this what a biological father feels like?

She didn't understand it, but she felt rather happy.

I wonder if Mommy will be angry. If she learns I like my new daddy, will she be upset?

Renae thought to herself quietly.

The family of three hopped into the car and headed straight for the most upscale restaurant in the city center.

In the skies thirty thousand feet above the ground, an airplane was flying steadily.

By the window, Ashlyn sat in her seat languidly, flipping through a magazine. Beside her, Lucas started tending to work matters as soon as they boarded the plane.
