Reconnecting with a long lost child was a delicate issue. Since Barton had never met his daughter, he should be careful.

When it was the appointed time, Jean and Mandy arrived at the restaurant. Not long after they took their seats, Barton also came. His face broke into a bright smile at the sight of Jean. He sat beside Jean and stared at her with doting eyes.

A curious expression painted Barton's face. He wanted to know everything about his daughter's experiences for the past years.

"Hello, Uncle Barton!" Jean waved at Barton with a wide smile. "My mother told me about you. I heard that you came back to look for your daughter, right?"

For a moment, Barton was hesitant. After a quick pause, he nodded. "I have no idea how she is all these years. I wondered whether she has been bullied."

With furrowed eyebrows, Jean said, "If you're so worried about your daughter, why are you only showing your

Silly girl, you are my daughter! It's only natural that I treat you well,'

he thought as he silently stared at Jean.

During dinner, Jean entertained Barton well. After all, she was a great pretender. Since Barton didn't know Jean, she easily fooled him.

After they shared a meal, Barton cared more about Jean.

"Well, it's getting late. Let me drive you two home." Even though Barton wanted to spend more time with Jean, their dinner must inevitably end. He had no choice but to send her home.

However, Jean refused Barton's offer. With a smile, she said, "There's no need for that, Uncle Barton. We can take a taxi home. Since you were working all day, you'd better go back and have a rest."

When he heard this, Barton revealed a warm smile. "Jean, you're so considerate."

Then, he jokingly added, "If only you were my daughter..."

"Oh, Uncle Barton, don't tease me," said Jean with a smile.
