The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 641

David reached out and gently wiped the tears from Lola’s cheeks. “Hey there, how about I buy you a new one, okay?”

Lola shook her head, her voice small and stubborn. “I don’t want a new one. I just want the one Mommy gave me.”

David wasn’t used to comforting kids and it showed. He fumbled for the right words, looking lost. “Um, where’s your mommy? I can help you find her.”

Lola sniffled, her eyes watery. “My mommy isn’t here.”

David let out a quiet sigh, feeling a bit helpless. “Alright, come here. I’ll carry you and we’ll find your mommy and daddy together.”

He picked Lola up. She was so light, like holding a little bundle of cotton. She relaxed in his arms, feeling safe.

Lola gazed up at David, her tears drying up. He was so tall and handsome, and he held her higher than Papa Wyatt ever did.

“If your mommy isn’t here, where’s your daddy? You didn’t come out here all by yourself, did you?”

Lola gave him a shy smile. “I didn’t come alone.”

Just then, Wyatt’s voice echoed through the crowd. He had just bought some candy and came back to find Lola missing from her seat. Now he was calling out, sounding worried. “Lola… Lola…”

Lola’s eyes lit up. “That’s my daddy. He’s looking for me.”

David quickly lowered her to the ground. Lola waved at him with her tiny hand. “Bye.”

David smiled at her, his lips curling up. “Next time we meet, I’ll make sure to get you a new snow globe.”

“Okay,” Lola promised, and she took off running.

David watched her little figure dart away until she reached Wyatt. “Papa Wyatt!”

When David caught a glimpse of Wyatt’s back, his heart skipped a beat. Was that really Wyatt?
