Chapter 1281: Snatching the Daughter Won’t Work
Nathan Mills seemed to be able to guess her mood at the moment, and his voice was still full of patience, "Here’s the thing, if you guys plan to visit Riventhal, I can host you."He chuckled, "After all, we were a couple, and Janelle is also my daughter. Besides, Janelle has grown up, there’s no need for us to be at each other’s throats."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Carlotta Sterling didn’t have time for his rambling, "Can you get to the point?"
"The point is to try and ease our relationship. After all, we’re not young anymore. Middle-aged people look at issues with more rationality than when we were young, right?"
"What is it?" Carlotta asked bluntly, "You’ve gotten a divorce?"
"..." Nathan Mills was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
Carlotta mockingly asked, "Now you realize the value of your first love, right? Now that the child has grown up, you want to start mending the relationship? What have you been doing all these years?"
"Did you ever pick up or drop off your daughter from school even once?"
"Did you ever buy her a piece of clothing?"
"Did you ever take her to the hospital when she was sick with a cold?"
"Did you ever attend a parent-teacher meeting at her school?"
"No, nothing at all! You’ve been absent the whole time!" Carlotta couldn’t help but accuse him, "Now that your daughter has grown up, successful enough without needing care from us, you come to mend the relationship? Want her to support you in your old age? Ask yourself, do you deserve it?"
"No, you can’t say it like that!" Listening to these words, Nathan Mills was both angry and aggrieved, so he naturally argued back, "I’ve always wanted to fulfill my duty. You’re the one who wouldn’t let me contact her! I can’t even call my daughter!"
"Just because I said you couldn’t contact her, you didn’t? If I told you to die, would you?"
Janelle Mills nearly bit her chopstick and looked up at her mother.
"Couldn’t you find a way?" Carlotta was very speechless, "Nathan Mills! As long as you wanted to see your daughter, as long as you had a little bit of responsibility, as long as we’re on this earth, couldn’t you see her? If you really had a heart to fulfill your duty, could I have stopped you?"
"..." These words completely confused this middle-aged man’s logic.
He was in the office at the moment, holding his phone in one hand and scratching his head with the other, "Carlotta, you win!"
"Where did you get my number from?" The woman said unhappily, "I’m telling you, let’s mind our own business till the end of our lives, thank you!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Janelle Mills chewed on a dumpling, thinking that Old Mills was much easier to communicate with than her.
Finally getting a call through, how did it end up like this?
Carlotta placed her phone on the table, her gaze landed on her daughter’s face, and suddenly she had no appetite, "Tell me, where did he get the number from?"
The questioning tone, the obviously suspicious look.
"Huh?" The girl met her mother’s gaze, "You’re asking me?" then blinked her big eyes innocently, "How would I know?"
Carlotta stared at her for a few seconds and then gave up her suspicion!
After all, she was the precious daughter she raised single-handedly.
And getting a phone number like that could indeed be done through many means.
"Nathan Mills’s attempt to buddy up now is too obvious, he’s just trying to win his daughter over. Since he hasn’t had any kids there, he might rely on you for his old age."
This is a very realistic issue.
"Sister Sterling, it’s not that I’m saying this, what do you mean by ’win over’? I was originally his daughter."
"Did he give birth to you?!" Carlotta asked with a frown.
"..." Janelle Mills dared not make a sound, telling herself not to add fuel to the fire!
So, she slowly put down her chopsticks, took a tissue, and wiped her lips, "Actually, there’s no need for such hostility. How many years has it been? Can’t let it go yet?"
