Chapter 81 Which Dad?
Hearing the two voices coming from the second floor, Cordelia shook her head with a sorrowful look. Anyway, Rebecca was her daughter, and she had to think of Rebecca no matter what.
Cordelia was well aware that the best solution was to get Alistair
back.
The person whom she thought she could just beckon over easily before was now extremely difficult to even meet. Cordelia couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
Before long, Rebecca came downstairs with Daniel. She applied
thick makeup to cover up her swollen and red eyes.
Daniel was given a lecture and finally became obedient. His clean little face looked listless, and he obediently held his mother’s hand while carrying his schoolbag. Rebecca said to Cordelia in a hoarse. voice, “Mom, I’ll send him to kindergarten.”
When Cordelia saw her pretending to be strong, her heart
softened. “Just stay at home and rest. I’ll send him.”
Rebecca said awkwardly, “Mom, I’d better send him today.”
Cordelia realized something and didn’t insist.

Rebecca led Daniel and walked outside. Just then, Eva walked towards them. The corners of her mouth twitched, and then she put on a smiling face and greeted them enthusiastically. “Danny, are you going to school?”
However, Daniel had a sullen face and ignored her.
Eva decided that if she meddled in other people’s business again, she would slap herself. So she let it go.
She gathered her emotions and started to finish the work at hand. Just as she walked into the living room, Cordelia held a first–aid kit and beckoned her over. Eva felt warmth in her heart.
Just now, she was furiously complaining in her heart about Rebecca’s coldness. But Eva thought that Rebecca was just a girl who had been spoiled since childhood and was used to being self–centered. She didn’t really need to care about what Rebecca
did.
Cordelia is still nice to me. Knowing that I was injured, she even got the medicine for me.
Just as she thought of this, Eva heard Cordelia say in a hurry, “Danny just bit Rebecca’s hand. She didn’t even apply any medicine or bandage it, and I’m afraid her wound will get infected. You carry the first–aid kit and go to the kindergarten gate to disinfect and bandage her wound.”

Eva felt that all her self–moving thoughts just now were in vain. She barely squeezed out a smile on her face. “Mrs. Whitfield, Ms. Whitfield will be back soon. I can bandage her wound when she comes back.”
A look of displeasure appeared on Cordelia’s well–maintained face. “I just called her, and she said she had something to do and wouldn’t be coming back. I told you to go, so hurry up and go!” She was on the verge of bluntly saying that Eva was talking too
much.
Eva went out full of complaints and took a taxi to the kindergarten. At the kindergarten gate, she met Alistair, Rebecca’s ex–husband.
According to the original plan, Alistair was supposed to send Eloise to the new kindergarten together with Caroline today, but Eloise was actually reluctant to part with her friend.
In the morning, Eloise said she wanted to tell Zoe about transferring to another kindergarten. When Zoe heard that Eloise was going to change kindergartens, she cried pitifully.
Then Zoe’s parents shyly made a request, hoping that Eloise could go to the kindergarten one more time so that Zoe could say goodbye to her properly.
This was a reasonable request. Caroline had no reason to refuse.

Besides, it was thanks to Zoe that she had the opportunity to let
Alistair live with her.
So Caroline let Eloise go to kindergarten for the last time as a way
to repay Zoe.
As soon as Eva saw Alistair, a feeling of guilt welled up inside her.
Before, she had advised Alistair to be magnanimous and come back to live a good life with Rebecca. In fact, deep down, she thought that Alistair came from a humble background and wasn’t worthy of Rebecca, so it was only right for him to endure some grievances.
But after Eva was indifferently treated by the Whitfield family, she suddenly realized that these wealthy people were truly detestable.
Eva felt filled with remorse. Her so–called consideration for Alistair was clearly pushing him into the fire.
The spoiled and willful Rebecca deserved to be tortured by the jerk.
For a moment, Eva forgot about her task and, filled with a sense of guilt, stepped forward to greet Alistair.
Alistair turned around and saw her. He asked, “Eva, what happened to your face?”

Eva felt a warmth in her heart and thought that Alistair was really
attentive and caring.
Then a sense of resentment welled up in her. There was a long red mark on her face scratched by Daniel, and both Rebecca and
Cordelia must have seen it.
Eva had worked wholeheartedly for the Whitfield family for several years. Her other sisters, who worked for other employers, got a raise every year, but Eva’s salary hadn’t increased at all. Eva didn’t have any complaints. After all, she was a person who was quite content with her lot.
The indifference of Rebecca and Cordelia made Eva feel very uncomfortable.
Eva instinctively touched her cheek, quickly looked around, and said in an ill–tempered and lowered voice, “This was scratched by Danny. He was crying and shouting all morning, and Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield couldn’t stand it either.”
Alistair remained silent. He knew all too well how difficult Daniel
could be.
He lowered his head and looked at Eloise. The well–behaved and sweet little angel was much better.

After handing Eloise over to the teacher, Alistair turned around
and saw that Eva was still there.
Alistair saw the first–aid kit in her hand and took it for granted that
Daniel wasn’t feeling well, so he didn’t ask any more questions. He
didn’t want to waste his energy on people who were unimportant
to him.
In the dark, Rebecca’s eyes closely followed Alistair’s figure.
He bent down, his eyes filled with a doting smile, and said something to the little girl. The little girl stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face. He reached out and ruffled the girl’s head, then straightened up and watched the little girl enter the kindergarten with tenderness in his eyes. Finally, he turned around, nodded politely at Eva, and strode away.
Rebecca sighed deeply. Her heart briefly felt full, but that feeling was gone in a flash–now she felt emptier than ever.
She asked absentmindedly, “Danny, when Dad used to send you
to school, did he ever ruffle your head like this?”
Daniel was stunned for two seconds and asked blankly, “Mom, which dad are you talking about?”
