Chapter 1030 Gossip
The little girl exclaimed, "Daddy, let's go out and play! The balloons can only fly so high in the house, but I want
them to fly higher!"
"A double-story house isn't high enough for you, my dear? The balloons might fly away if you want them to fly any
higher," Norman replied with a weak yet doting smile.
This villa was the only property that Norman had left, but it belonged to his mistress, Hilary Turner. At this moment,
he was grateful that he had bought her a villa; otherwise, Elisa would have taken it away.

Mindy pouted and whined, "But Daddy just came. I want to play with Daddy!!"
Hearing his daughter's request to play, Norman couldn't resist but embrace her, "We will play. Daddy will certainly
play with you. But let's not go out. We can play at home."
"No... Daddy, I want to play outside," the little girl didn't understand Norman's predicament and only wanted to play
with her father.
However, given his current circumstances, Norman could not expose too much, especially not letting anyone know
about his other family. He deliberately warned Mindy sternly, "Daddy won't take you out to play if you misbehave
like this."
Mindy was on the verge of tears upon hearing this.
But Norman pretended not to notice and told Hilary, "Look how you've spoiled our child. I won't come again if she
continues to misbehave like this."
Knowing that Norman's words were meant to appease their daughter and understanding his difficult situation,
Hilary quickly interjected, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. It's been a while since you came; please don't be angry with our
daughter."
Turning to Mindy, she added, "Are you going to keep whining? Your dad will leave if you keep acting up like this!"
Startled, Mindy immediately shook her head and said, "I will stop crying. Daddy, please don't leave... We play with
the balloons at home."
Norman's heart ached for his daughter, but he couldn't do anything given his current predicament. He held Mindy
and reassured her, "If you're a good girl, Daddy will come and see you more often."

so much."
Sitting beside Norman, Hilary looked conflicted but didn't say a word.
As a young single woman, at just under thirty years old, she ended up with Norman for his money to sustain her
destitute family. Norman was drawn to her because of her youth and beauty. He had supported her over the years
by providing for her, buying her a villa, and even ensuring her parents were well cared for.
And, her life was satisfactorily secured.
But now, Hilary's attitude towards the situation had shifted after her parents constantly spurred about the
predicament at Norman's company and his demotion to an ordinary employee to her.
