Chapter 59

Seth's heart skipped a beat when he heard Daisy call out "Daddy" softly. The dullness in his eyes vanished, replaced with a spark of life. Why did it feel like Daisy was calling out to him? He quickly stepped forward and crouched down, gently pinching Daisy's chubby cheek. His voice, tinged with emotion, came out rougher than usual. "Daisy, who are you calling 'Daddy?'" Layla froze, unsure how to react. She wanted to pull Daisy into her arms and explain that she had made a mistake. But she knew that Seth already harbored suspicions about Daisy's parentage. The more she panicked, the more it would confirm his doubts. Keeping her composure, Layla gave Daisy a warm smile, staying silent as she watched the little girl. Daisy looked at her mom as though sensing something was off. She quickly turned back to Mark and buried herself in his arms, tilting her head back to call out, "Daddy." Mark, clearly moved, kissed her on the cheek. "That's my good girl. I love you, sweetheart."
