Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

Barton hurriedly said, "You should rest assured. She’s definitely a good person."

"Really? So there really is such a person." Jean smiled awkwardly.

"Yes." Barton smiled, but his gaze and tone suddenly turned serious. "You're an adult now, Jean. I don't want to keep you in the dark."

He stared deeply at her in silence. After a while, he heaved a sigh and pulled her towards the sofa. "I happen to have time today, so let's have a chat."

Jean knew what he was going to say, so she instinctively refused, "Dad, can we chat tomorrow? I'm really exhausted, so I want to sleep early today."

"Wait a minute. What I want to say is important, but it won't take too much of your time," said Barton.

Jean had no other choice but to plop back onto the sofa.

Since he’d said so, it’d be too inappropriate for her to continue to refuse.

With a rather embarrassed smile, Barton said,

out looking at him.

"Why can’t I worry about you?" Barton wrinkled his brows. "Marrying Zoe doesn't change the fact that you're my daughter. I'll never leave you on your own just because I get married. You're and you'll always be my most important person."

"Dad..." It was a lie to say that Jean wasn't touched by Barton's parental love. She gave him a big hug and said in a muffled voice, "I understand. Thank you, Dad."

"You’re welcome." Barton smiled and patted her back. "Call Terence over. We haven't had dinner together for a long time. I'll call Zoe too. We'll be a family soon, so let's have dinner together."

"Dad, don't bother!" Jean and Terence were still quarreling, so she wasn't sure if he'd come.

"It's okay for the three of us to have dinner together first. He's busy now. We can invite him again in the future."

"No way. Call him over," Barton said firmly.
