Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)
Chapter 1243

Before a bright smile could form, Lauren's face froze. She was utterly shocked when she heard the words that came through Yvette's mouth.

While being in a daze, Lauren heard a burst of giggles. Following her line of sight, she saw Elijah holding Yvette, swinging her around in circles. The little girl was amused as she laughed and kissed him on the face. "Hehe, Uncle help me grab a mouse!"

"Uncle Daddy, I want flowers. They are so big and colorful. I like the yellow and pink ones."

"Uncle, get it for me."

"Aunty is bad. She wouldn't let me pick the flowers. She said there are insects that will bite my hand!"

Holding Yvette's tiny hand, Elijah couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, alright, I'll get all the things you want! Where's the reward for me?"

In the next second, Yvette held his neck and kissed him.

"Haha, that's enough, that's enough. Yvette, you're such a little elf." She was beautiful, cute, and mischievous. Her saliva was all over his face but she still wouldn't stop kissing him!

"What's an elf? Is it delicious? Is it beautiful? I want it too!"

"Huh?" Stunned, Elijah once again laughed loudly, "Haha, well, little elf!"

After thinking for a while, he finally found out an explanation that he thought she would be able to understand.

"A little elf is a beautiful little doll flying in the sky. She lives in the clouds and you wouldn't be able to reach it. Thus, Yvette, you can't have it! I said you are a little elf, which means that you are very beautiful. You like to be beautiful, right?" Yvette nodded and then paused. After a moment, she nodded heavily, "In that case, I will become an elf in the future. I am an elf!"

When the little girl shouted cleverly, Elijah patted his head and said helplessly, "Uhm? Baby, you..."

Shaking her head, Lauren was speechless. She went forward and gave Elijah a stern look, "Elijah! See what you have taught her! Look at you making up nonsense to fool Yvette!"

"Mommy! Mommy! Hug!"

The moment Lauren realized Yvette's request, Yvette's arms were already spread wide and she was about to pounce on her.

Lauren reached out to carry her into her arms. She wiped the sweat from Yvette's forehead and hugged her. The little girl instantly smiled.

"Uncle Daddy, you lied to me. You are a bad guy! How embarrassing!"

As she spoke, she even propped her head up proudly and poked the little dimple on her own chubby little face.

Both Lauren and Elijah were amused by her. "Haha!"

At that moment, the maid brought over a box of yogurt. Yvette took it over and ate it obediently. She would rub her head against Lauren's neck intimately from time to time, and she was full of happy smiles. Lauren motioned for Elijah to come with her and the two of them sat under the shades. She held Yvette on her lap and gave her the newly bought toys. Then, she asked,

"Elijah, why did you speak nonsense to the child? You even let her call you 'Uncle Daddy'?"

Wasn't it a complete mess?

"I don't want to. Then why don't you tell me her father's real identity?"

Upon mentioning Willy, Lauren pursed her lips and fell silent. Looking at her usual reaction, Elijah put down his coffee and tried to coax her.

"Well, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask! How about you tell me whether he is in Casterwich City or not?"

"Elijah!"

Lauren's face fell as she spoke.

Upon mentioning Willy, Lauren could not help but show her true self. Knowing her for so long, Elijah could tell it at one glance. He could tell that Lauren had not forgotten Willy. That man was still the thorn in her heart, he thought. Therefore, she didn't allow anyone to mention him, approach him, or even investigate him.

With such a huge reaction, he was probably right with his guess. This man was in Casterwich City!

Could it really be Willy Bowles?

There were all kinds of curiosity in his heart, but seeing Lauren's expression, he did not ask any more questions.

"Laurie, Yvette will understand when

she grows up. There are some problems that you can't avoid forever! She had only gone out to play a few times, yet she already knows that the boy next door has a father and a mother, so she asked why her own father's gone. She also said that her daddy would love her and that he would buy a lot of things for her and play with her. She is already at the age where she starts asking about her father. She's

already like this when she's only

mixing around the neighborhood. What if she attends kindergarten? She will come into contact with

more children. How are you going to explain it to her then?"

Looking at her, Elijah continued,

"Will you brush her off as you did with me? When she asks you, you'll run away, and if she asks again, you'll lose your temper?"

"Elijah, I'm sorry. I just..."

"I understand. We don't need to be like this. We are a family! Laurie, you have changed a lot in the past few years. Haven't you taken a good look at yourself in the mirror? From your appearance to your character and the various decisions you make, are you still the previous Lauren who was indifferent to everything, and who will let things slide after being wronged?"

She used to be so stubborn that she refused to talk to her family even when she was starving outside; she was such a proud woman. Now, she was willing to go home and take the last name 'Luther' that she had hated for more than a decade. It seemed that she had suffered heavily outside this time.

Presently, she was the eldest daughter of the Luther family!

"People always change, not to

mention that I'm a mother now! I want to protect my daughter..." "Don't always use Yvette as an excuse! If you tried so hard to

change for her, why don't you finnet

hide the truth from your you

a

father for her and let her have a complete family? Why do you still own family and don't want others to know about her existence? I know you love Yvette very much, but don't you think what you're doing now contradicts your love for her?"

"Elijah, why did you have to..." How could he be so direct!

Holding her forehead, Lauren felt ashamed.

"I'm reminding you to be mentally prepared! Laurie, there are some things that you should let go of when you should. If you really can't let it go, then try to get it back. If you can't, then make another choice. Don't trap yourself and don't push yourself too hard! You learned to swim, dance, and the list goes on. Most skills don't matter, but there's no need to force it! If you like doing research, why don't you continue?"

"Elijah, I didn't force myself. I've gotten used to my current life. I'll continue researching in the future but I don't think I'll try so hard with the experiments any more! If I

weren't because I have done too net

many experiments back then, Wette would have been a healthy baby. I was lucky this time. I'm not that great as to sacrifice myself like this, so I can assure you that I didn't force myself. Elijah, I will tell you everything when it's the right time!"

After seeing Elijah off, Lauren played with Yvette in the courtyard for a while. Looking at the carefree little figure, her gaze was inexplicably solemn. Suddenly, there was a soft sound. She unlocked her mobile phone and a message appeared on the screen. "I'll be back for you next Monday. Be a good girl!"
