Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Robert’s demeanor underwent a dramatic change. Subsequently, he retrieved his phone and began scrolling through the family group that limited to male members. His brow furrowed as he came across a message from Louis: (Lilian didn’t terminate her pregnancy. Her child has now grown up, and be name is Laura. She currently resides in my home.]

Accompanying the message was a photo of the child.

Only Joshua responded with the message: [Good.]

There was no reply from Favian.

Due to his busy work schedule, Robert had ously neglected the family group chat which he had intentionally blocked.

The girl in the photo bore an uncanny resemblance to the young girl before him. In fact, the girl in person was even more attractive than in the photo, albeit not very photogenic.

Yet, even without being photogenic, she was already remarkably beautiful.

“This girl before me… turns out to be my niece!” Robert stared at Laura in shock. His entire being was frozen in place, rooted to the spot.

Lawrence playfully quipped, “What’s the matter, Robert? Is the little girl’s beauty rendering you utterly speechless? Why are you lost in thought over

there?”

Robert snapped back to reality, glancing once again at Laura.

Laura still tilted her head in puzzlement.

A strange sense of familiarity clung to her while she observed the man in front of her. “His features held a subtle resemblance to my mother,” she

an actual connection?” pondered. “And what’s more, we have the same last name. Could there be

Her scrutinizing gaze didn’t sit well with Robert, leading him to swiftly refused, stating, “No, this child is not acceptable!”

Deep in thought, he reflected, “This child is an illegitimate child! Winnie always watches the play I performed in, even going so far as to enthusiastically invite numerous people to watch. If anyone were to recognize her, it would undoubtedly expose everything. This is absolutely out of the question.”

Lawrence found the situation puzzling. “Why not? Lala has both beauty and a charming demeanor. It’s essential to assess her acting abilities at this point. If there’s potential to develop her, I’ll definitely consider her. How can you simply reject her outright? As an adult, you should approach this without prejudice!”

Robert said firmly, “However, her acting abilities are likely to be subpar. It’s because her mother isn’t that great, and she…”

His words came to an abrupt halt.

Laura was left startled. She blinked in confusion and thought nervously to herself, “Why did he mention my mother?”

Lawrence felt it was absurd. “Her mother? What does her mother have to do with this?”

He knew that Lilian was a murderer.

But what difference did that make?

What does the fact that the mother was a murderer have to do with the child?

Robert suddenly realized his own outburst. He had lost his composure.

He changed his approach, and said, “Regardless, I still support the original little actress. While she might be a bit older now, she has ample experience

and shines in emotional scenes. She’s our best choice.”

Chapter 37

Lawrence said helplessly, “I’ve already mentioned that the character’s background is set at around four or five years old. The oldest among the chalck auditioning today is only six. The one you favor is nine years old. How can that fit the character’s script?”

Robert bit his lower lip, casting a disdainful glance at Laura. He knew there was no use in arguing further. “Let’s wrap this up quickly then

Laura quivered under his stare, her spirits dampened as she lowered her gaze. “Why does this man who looked somewhat like my mother, always seem to have a negative opinion of me?”

Robert was in a sour mood. “She won’t make the cut anyway, that’s the end of it.”

Laura trembled and muttered defiantly, “I’ll make it.”

Robert didn’t hear clearly and asked, “What?”

Laura looked up, her unwavering determination shone through her large, round eyes. “I will definitely make it.”

Fueled by the image of their joint triumph, she spoke with conviction to herself, “I’ll do whatever it takes to stay! To stand shoulder to shoulder with Zaynı at the very top!”

Robert’s lips curled with a hint of disgust as he disregarded her presence and stood aside.

“This unyielding spirit of hers was just like that foolish mother of hers.”

With a gentle smile, Lawrence said, “Lala, whatever I tell you, take a moment to contemplate it and then reflect on it in your performance, okay? Since it’s your debut in acting, I’d like to put your skills to the test a bit and see if you can evoke the emotions and cry on cue.”

Laura nodded nervously.

Lawrence continued, “Imagine that your mother has passed away.”

Laura, Robert, and everyone around were stunned by what they heard.
