Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 343: I don’t Accept Your Apology

But Wendy no longer gets excited with her heart racing for him, it is never the same, simply because she does not like him anymore.

“I don’t accept your apologies.” Wendy softly says as she looks calmly at Duke. She is not as enthusiastic as before.

“Since you are wrong, then continue to be wrong.”

Duke feels chills running down his spine and trembles. He holds on to her shoulder with an expression of hurt.

He brings Wendy into his embrace and holds onto her tightly.

“Do you know that I have never thought that I can regret so much today.” Duke closes his eyes and says with a voice full of regret and pain.

He realizes that he has wasted so many years.

Jamie worries that Duke will do something to Wendy and quickly gets out of the car. She then sees Eddie coming out of another car.

Jamie turns and looks at Duke and Wendy. She instantly bites down on her lips and realizes that things are going to get out of hand.

Eddie’s hand was still on the car door and sees the two of them embracing. He didn’t go over and he didn’t make a sound. He just looks on quietly.

“Ahem ahem ahem.” Jamie could not resist and clears her throat to signal to Wendy while trying desperately to get her attention.

When she was pulled into Duke’s embrace, Wendy thought that she was imagining. But when she hears Jamie’s calls, she comes to her senses and pushes Duke away.

She looks at Duke and says to him sternly, “If you really feel guilty and regret, then please forget about this and never appear in my life ever again.”

She tries to walk away after she finishes but Duke holds her onto her, not allowing her to move an inch.

“What do you think you are doing?” Wendy is angry. She already stated very clearly, what doesn’t he understand?

“Release her, Duke.” Eddie walks to Wendy’s side and holds onto her other hand. He stares at Duke coldly and emotionlessly but with a poise saying that he will not take no for an answer.

“Eddie…” Wendy remarks softly. Did he see that scene? Is there a misunderstanding?

Duke refuses to release his grip, stubborn as he has been and stares back at Eddie.

“Aren’t you clear by now that Wendy does not accept you? If you really regret it, then continue to regret it. My Wendy doesn’t need your guilt.” Eddie says with a smirk. He forcibly pulls Wendy over and wraps the other hand around her waist to support her.

Duke’s hands tense up but after a while, he puts them down but continues to clench his fists.

Thereafter he puts his hands into his trousers, “Your Wendy?”

“Don’t you know that Wendy is my fiancée?” Eddie says in return with a smirk.

Wendy blushes and leans on to Eddie and like a vulnerable little girl. Jamie looks on from the side, feeling slightly dizzy.

“Your engagement ceremony did not complete and Wendy cannot be considered as your fiancée.”

“Duke, enough.” Wendy couldn’t listen to it any further. Duke is just refusing to accept the reality. Even though she and Eddie haven’t gone through the engagement ceremony, the issue is as good as done. Even if she is not with Eddie, she will not like him again.

“Even if we are not, you will not have a single chance, Duke.” Eddie is calm and says to Duke, “A sinner will not be able to return to the past even when he is forgiven.”

His words were cruel. Jamie could see from his expression of loneliness. Not only did Duke mistake the identity of a person, so did Wendy.

A sinner cannot return to the past even when he is forgiven.

Eddie, you forgave Wendy’s mistake and they returned to the past. This is because you love her. You can deceive Duke but you can’t deceive yourself.

Jamie purses her lips and gets back into the car. She starts the car without hesitation and drives away from that place. Wendy has her protector and it is pointless for her to remain there.

It is almost six in the evening, the winter nights start particularly early and gets dark quickly.

Jamie drives the car home and she should still be able to make it in time for dinner. She hums a tune and taps her fingers on the steering wheel waiting for the red light to turn green.

She looks around and then fixates in a direction.

Ryan is in the car beside hers. She wants to greet him and stops herself when she sees the person beside him. It was Jozo!

Jamie looks at them and hopes to find out what is happening. The lights turn green and the cars behind her start to blare their horns. She has no choice but to drive away.

…

Ryan looks sullen at the road and is talking via the Bluetooth earpiece.

At his side, Jozo maintains a slight smile and waits patiently for him to finish his call. She then asks, “How is it?”

“As you wished.” Ryan takes off his earpiece and throws it aside in frustration.

Jozo’s smile deepens, “Think about the person you love most. Don’t waste your efforts on a person who you cannot get.”

Ryan did not answer and let off a chilly sensation.

“Thereafter you just help me publicize this and you will have your chances. Are you happy? My friend?” Jozo takes out a file from her bag and says with confidence.

Ryan looks at the file and asks, “What’s this?”

“You don’t have to bother, just listen to me from now on.”

“Ah, you’ve got this all reversed.” Ryan laughs coldly, not bothering about what she says. “Don’t forget that I can easily terminate our partnership. I will gladly dump a useless partner such as you.”

Jozo looks at Ryan’s arrogance and while gnashing her teeth, she knows that she is still dependent on him and cannot antagonize him.

“Okay, I’ll tell you…”

…

Jamie is as usual in the courtyard looking at comics and drawing, then in the warm room eating ice cream looking out the window in case Dan comes back and captures her in his embrace.

It’s tantalizing to eat ice cream during winter but in consideration of her stomach, she only does so occasionally.

“Mommy, Bunny wants to sleep with mommy tonight.” Bunny pushes open the door and dragging a rabbit as he walks in.

Had it been last time, Jamie would immediately nod in agreement but now that she is carrying Dan’s daughter, she starts to distance away from Bunny.
