It was supposed to be a great thing for Amy that Louis was actually her father, but for some reason, she didn't seem to feel happy about it.
Louis grabbed her small hand and nodded.
But Amy quickly tried to get away from his tight grip, which made his heart sink to his stomach. "What's wrong with you?"
Just yesterday, they had been getting along quite well. Did she want to stay away from him because she was scared?
Amy tilted her tiny head up to look at him with her lips pursed tightly. She put his hands behind her back like a small hedgehog with thorns.
Louis wasn't sure whether he should cry or laugh at that moment. He just felt so heartbroken. "Please don't do that. It's just a guess right now, okay? We won't know if it's true or not until we do a paternity test at the hospital."
"If there is no evidence, Uncle Louis, then how could you assume something like that?" Amy snorted.
The question shocked Louis.
He was rendered speechless for a moment. So, he decided to create some distance between them for her comfort. "Amy, when you told me you liked me yesterday, was that a lie?"
He knew he shouldn't have said that to her. If he was actually Amy's father, then in her eyes, he would just be the deadbeat man that had abandoned her and her mother. Amy probably felt even more repulsed by his question.
But he couldn't help but feel like he was wronged.
In his defense, he had no idea that he even had a child, and Taylor had never looked for him. He was also just an innocent victim in all of this.
Louis wouldn't have let Amy down if he had known about her existence. However, the little girl inquired further, hitting the nail on the head. "Does Mommy know about it?"
Embarrassed, Louis answered sheepishly, "I'm not sure. I haven't informed her yet."
He was also curious if Taylor was aware of their true relationship.
If she knew, why would she choose to raise the child by herself instead of looking for him? If Taylor didn't know about it and he suddenly told her the truth, would she hate him even more?
At this moment, the test result still hadn't come out yet. However, Louis already considered Amy as his own flesh and blood.
Amy asked shyly, "Will Mommy accept you?"
Louis found it difficult to answer this question. He frowned and kept silent for a few minutes. "I have my doubts about our true relationship. Even if we look similar, it doesn't automatically mean that we are related," he then said.
He decided it was best to lie in this situation.

is said to defend himself. "But Dad is…." Amy stuttered out.
Louis quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned. His heart felt like it was being squeezed and pulled out of his chest. He forced a bitter smile and said, "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Let's go and ask your mom about the whole story later, okay?"
Amy looked into his eyes and suddenly stepped back, looking frightened. "Mommy told me that Daddy is not a good man…"
Louis felt like he had just gotten stabbed in the heart. Without a second thought, he suddenly hugged her tiny body and held her in his arms. He said, "Amy, don't be scared. Starting today, I will be here to protect you and your mommy. From now on, nobody will hurt you anymore."
After a long time, Louis felt Amy nod slightly.
She felt good to finally have someone she could call her father.
The night sky was as black as ink. The twinkling stars complemented the brightness of the city lights.
As soon as Taylor walked into the living room, she heard Amy's sweet and soft voice. "Dad, can I have some ice-cream?"
Dad?
Taylor stopped in her tracks and frowned. Before she could react, Louis answered in a low voice, "No, Amy. It's already too late. Let's eat tomorrow, okay?"
Amy huffed and snorted, but didn't insist. Instead, she went back to play with the blocks in her hands again.
"Okay, I will listen to you, Dad."
Louis chuckled softly and coaxed in a low, gentle voice. "Amy, you're such a good girl. Let's go to bed now, okay?"
Before Amy could say anything else, Taylor suddenly barged into the living room because she couldn't stand it anymore. With a frown, she asked in a stern voice, "Amy, who told you to call him 'Dad'?"
